Jr. Crusaders,

This offseason, the Buhler Junior Crusaders are excited to invest in the future of Buhler Basketball!
We’re proud to be part of an initiative focused on strengthening the entire Buhler Basketball program—now and for years to come with the purchase of much-needed new equipment.

Our top priority is acquiring 1–2 new shooting machines similar to the one pictured in the attached. These machines automatically rebound, pass, and track shooting stats, allowing our players to maximize their time in the gym. They will be a valuable tool as our Crusader boys and girls grow as shooters—from Junior Crusaders to PHMS Crusaders to BHS Crusaders. If you’re able and willing to contribute, we would truly appreciate your support.

Every dollar donated—up to $8,000—will be 100% matched by a donor, doubling the impact of your gift. Let’s come together as a community and take full advantage of this opportunity to support our young athletes.

Roll Cru!

Time to spotlight our GIRLS!

This year, our organization was extremely excited to add on two ladies teams. Today we'd like to recognize Coach Dallas & Coach Gillespie's 4th graders.

This team practiced hard, growing in confidence, skill, and toughness every week! They traveled to several tournaments- an experience that was memorable for everyone.

They also got to shadow our BHS Lady Crusaders during a home game, which was an opportunity they will never forget. Thank you to Coach Darrow for the experience!

We are so proud of this young team, and can't wait to see them grow together!

The future is bright! Roll Cru!

THIRD GRADE!
The 3rd Grade Jr. Crusaders wrapped up their season yesterday with another hard-fought championship matchup. The boys battled their way to the finals and finished in second place.

These boys have worked hard, been coached hard, and improved tremendously from the start of the season. Their attitude, teamwork, commitment, and competitive spirit will fuel them in the offseason and in the seasons ahead.

We want to thank Coach Cole and Coach Rank for their commitment to these kids and for shaping their love for basketball. We’re excited to see what the future holds for these young men!
⚔️🖤🏀

Another winning weekend!
Coach Vaughan, Bryant, Cutler 4th Grade Jr. Crusaders went 3-0 and WON the MAYB Wichita tournament — now 23-1 on the season!

So proud of these boys and the way they compete! They have one more tournament in March to finish out their season. Finish strong boys! 🏀⚔️🥇

Our 2nd/3rd grade Cottam team wrapped up their league play last weekend winning both games!
A challenge they faced throughout the season was competing against teams with bigger players. Coach Cottam has been thrilled with their growth, determination, and ability to overcome this challenge. Great job, boys! 🏀

They will compete in the Salt City Tournament next weekend. Good luck! ⚔️🖤
