Lady Indians 38 – Lady Eagles 43

The first time that the Hays Lady Indians and the Colby Eagles met, Hays started slow and trailed 9-2 before winning by ten.  One week later Hays again started slow, trailed 11-1 to start the game and trailed by 15 by half time but couldn’t pull off the comeback.  But it wasn’t for lack of effort in the second half.  Hays outscored Colby 16-4 during the third quarter and tied the game at 32 with 7:12 remaining in the fourth but couldn’t score for the next four minutes falling behind 37-32.  The Indians got within one point at 37-36 with 45 seconds remaining, but Colby made 6 of 7 free throws to seal the victory.  Hays shot 32% from the field and just 10 of 20 from the free throw lane in the five point loss.  Kaitilin Gulley scored a career high 12 in the loss.  Colby got 18 points from Kenzie Curry.

Hays drops to 2-2 and plays Junction City on Tuesday.

Hays High 63 – Colby High 29 (boys)

The score was tied at 3 in the first 70 seconds of the game, then Lane Clark caught fire as he scored eight consecutive points putting Hays up 11-5 over Colby and the Indians rolled rest of the way.  Colby did make it a four point ball game 15-11 after the first quarter, but Hays out scores Colby 13-4, 17-9 and 18-5 in each of the three remaining quarters.  The Indians plagued by turnovers during the first three games committed just three in the victory.  Hays shot 22 of 41 from the field including 8 for 18 on three pointers after making just 2 of 11 in the first half.  Colby managed just 28 field goal attempts all game.  11 different players scored for Hays as 15 players saw minutes on the floor.  Lane Clark scored a career high 13, leading two others in double figures as Nick Petz scored 11 and Jordan Windholz scored 10 off the bench.

Hays is 4-0 and takes on Junction City on Tuesday.
