Buhler 57 – Hays 23

The Hays High Lady Indians were visitors in their own gym on Friday night for the first round of sub-state. Hays was the three seed in the tournament taking on #8 Buhler, the two seed.

Each of the Lady Indians first four shots could have given Hays an early lead, but Hays missed on each attempt. Buhler didn’t score until two minutes into the game, but those two free throws ignited a 19-0 run to give the Crusaders all the room they would need. Hays fell behind 21-4 after the first quarter and 33-8 at half tim.

Highlights

Buhler never let up in the second half going on a 10-1 run to open third quarter. Hays trailed 57-14 after three quarter. The fourth quarter was a continuous clock and Hays held Buhler scoreless at 9-0, losing 57-23.

The Hays Indian’s close the year out at 6-15. #8 Buhler is 16-5 and will play #4 McPherson for the sub-state championship.
