The Hays High Lady Indians basketball season came to a close much the same way it started, with a loss.  Hays finished their season with a 60-29 loss in Great Bend falling to 0-21 on the year.

Great Bend started the game on a 23-0 run before Hays answered with six straight free throws, but the damage had been done.

Hays trailed by the same 23 point margin at half time 36-13 and 58-21 after three quarters.  The Indians outscored Great Bend 8-2 in a continuous running clock fourth quarter.

Great Bend improves to 19-2 on the year and will play Maize South for a sub-state championship on Saturday evening at home.

Hays was led by Mattison Schlaefli and Haley Wells each scoring eight points.
