GREAT BEND — Crest High remains a team on a mission.
The Lancers kept alive their quest for a state championship by knocking off perennial baseball power Pittsburg St. Mary’s Colgan, 5-3, to open the Class 2-1A State Baseball Tournament.
With the victory — the first at a state tournament in Crest baseball history — the Lancers are guaranteed at least fourth place, with the state semifinal and final rounds set for Friday.
Crest will play Little River at 11 a.m. in the state semifinal contest at the Great Bend Sports Complex.
