For a second week in a row Hays High needed a victory to keep their chances at a playoff berth alive. They also needed help from McPherson to beat Abilene to keep the decision from going to a tie-breaking point formula. McPherson took care of their end of the deal, Hays High did not.

It was the first ever game between Hays and Wamego in football. Wamego is the 67th different team has played since 1923.

Wamego came out of the gate and took a two possession lead on a nine play and two play drive to take a 13-0 lead. Hays punted on their first three drives then cut the Wamego lead down to six on a one yard touchdown run by Kohlton Meyers. Wamego took possession of the ball with 4:26 in the half and drove 66 yards on 12 plays to go up 19-7 after a blocked extra point.

Highlights

Hays closed the gap down to one score for a second time after Keaton Markley returned an interception down to the nine yard line. Meyers scored his second touchdown of the night one play later making the score 19-13 following a missed XP.

Wamego marched right back down the field and took back their two score advantage on a 4th and 1, six yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter taking a 27-13 lead.

Hays moved inside the red zone of Wamego on the next possession but threw an interception at the five yard line. Wamego went on for the 30-13 win, tacking on a 28 yard field goal following after Hays lost the ball on downs deep in Wamego territory.
