Hays High 2, Great Bend 0

HAYS, Kan.-There is no love loss between Hays High and Great Bend. It was obvious in Tuesday’s Western Athletic Conference match-up on the pitch at Hays High. These two teams met up a little over a week ago in Great Bend with the Panthers coming out on top 5-2.

This week was a different week. No goals were scored by either team in the first half but there was plenty of action and it was physical. Hays High players received three yellow cards in the first half, many of which came as a result of frustration from a lack of foul calls. Despite the physicality the Indians mounted several shots on goal but could not find the back of the net.

In the second half Hays High changed that with an offensive burst that started with a Brian Cisneros goal in the 52nd minute. It all started with an Ethan Nunnery pass to Trae McCrae. McCrae’s shot deflected off the goalie’s hands and Cisneros tapped it in on the back side to give Hays the 1-0 lead.

Two minutes later McCrae was in the right place at the right time as he deflected a Great Bend pass right into the Panther goal. The 2-0 lead was enough for the Indians to pick up their fifth win and snap a two match losing streak. The Indians improve to 5-3 overall and 1-3 in the WAC. They will be on the road Thursday to face the Buhler Crusaders.
