Hays High held their Maroon and Gold scrimmage on Friday night at Lewis Field Stadium.  The fall sports teams were introduced as were the cheer and dance teams.  The soccer team held a scrimmage and the evening was capped with the football scrimmage.

Coach Randall Rath had his varsity run 16 live plays on offense and 12 of defense.  Eight different players carried the ball for the varsity squad with touchdown runs by Kohlton Meyers, Keith Dryden and Maddux Winter.  Meyers also hooked up with tight end Shane Berens for a 22 yard touchdown pass.

The varsity continued to work on offensive plays while the freshmen and junior varsity scrimmage on the opposite end of the field.

Coach Rath liked what he saw out of his team on Friday night and felt that the combination of cooler weather, lights and crowd helped to raise the level of excitement in the team.

The Indians now will turn their attention to the first game of the season September 4th.  Hays will host Olathe Northwest to open the season.  Game time is set for 7:00.
