After one year as the head coach of the Hays High girls basketball program, Alex Hutchins has been chosen to take over the boys program at Hays High.

Hutchins, a Scott City native, led the Lady Indians to a 14-8 record this past season. He previously coached the boys at Minneapolis and Elizabeth, Colo., and served as an assistant boys coach in Scott City.

He replaces coach Rick Keltner, who stepped down as the boys coach earlier this year after 34 seasons as head coach of the Indians.
