Salina South 54 – #10 Hays 49 OT

The first quarter featured four ties and five lead changes between Hays and South on Tuesday night.  The tight first quarter saw both teams make four of their first five shot attempts.  Hays took a 16-14 lead to the second quarter but that too would be short lived.  South opened the quarter on a 11-2 run to take a 25-18 lead.  The Indians scored just two points in the first 6:10 of the second quarter but rallied to score seven points in a row to tie the game at 25-25 at halftime.

Highlights

 

The Indians run continued into the third quarter totaling 13-0 and a 31-25 lead with 4:45 left in the quarter.  The six point lead would prove to be the biggest lead for Hays.  South answered back with four straight points and closed gap down to 36-33 after three quarter.  Hays took a 42-39 lead before South hit just their second three pointer of the game to tie things back up.  The Indians again took the lead at 44-42 with 2:10 left in regulation.  The Cougars tied the game with :45 left giving Hays a chance to win.  The Indians missed three shots and turned the ball over once in the final seconds to send the game to overtime.

Coach Alex Hutchins

Coach Rick Keltner

 

Each team hit a three pointer to open up the extra game time and tie at 55.  South grabbed the lead for good at 57-55 and expanded their advantage to seven points at 64-57.  South made just one of nine free throws in the overtime to leave the door open but the Indians made just four of twelve field goals and fall 64-62.

Tradgon McCrae scored 35, one point shy of his career high as the Indians fall to 6-6.  Salina South is now 6-7.

Hays 49 – Pratt 40

Hays sprinted out of the gates with nine straight points in less than three minutes for a 9-0 lead.  Pratt didn’t score for the first 5:40 when they banked in a three pointer for a 9-3 score.  Savannah Schneider answered moments later with her own three pointer, but that would be the only points Hays scored over the final 5:10 of the first quarter.  The Greenbacks rallied off six straight to end the quarter and the first two points of the second to pull within one at 12-11.

A 7-0 spurt by Hays gave the Indians their first of three eight point leads in the second quarter.  Each time Pratt was able to answer the bell and get within five by halftime at 24-19.

Highlights

Hays pushed their advantage up to 11 late in the third quarter and 12 early in the four before going on a scoreless drought.  The Indians would not score over the next 3:30.  Pratt though missed ten shots before making four free throws and a single two point shot to get within six at 42-36.  Jaycee Dale put back a miss and Mattie Hutchison buried a right corner three to put the Indians back up by eleven and finish with a 49-40 victory.  Hays shot a season high in field goal and three point percentage in the victory.

Coach Alex Hutchins

 

Savannah Schneider scored 13 and Jaycee Dale added 10 as the Indians move to 3-2 on the year.  Pratt falls to 4-3.

Hays 67 – Pratt 41

Neither Hays or Pratt brought their best offensive game to the gym in the first half of Tuesday’s game.  The two combined for just 15 points over the first 9:30 of the game leading to a 9-6 lead for Pratt early in the second quarter.  Then both teams scored on three straight possessions leaving before Pratt went on a 6-2 spurt for a 21-16 lead with 2:10 left before halftime.  Hays scored twice in the final 45 seconds of the half on baskets from Tradgon McCrae and Cade Swayne to tie the game at 24-24 heading into the locker rooms.

Highlights

The second half looked to be more of the same.  The two teams swapped the lead three different times through the first 3:45 of the half leaving Pratt with a 28-27 lead.  From that point the game belonged to Hays.  The Indians missed their first 21 three point attempts before Jason Krannawitter sank a left sideline shot for a 34-28 lead.  Hays did not miss a three pointer for the rest of the game.  Over the final 12:15 Hays went on a 40-13 run to pull away on a 67-41 victory.

Coach Rick Keltner

 

The Indians scored 24 fourth quarter points matching their first half total.  Tradgon McCrae scored 17 points.  Nobody else finished with double figures but six more players scored between five and nine points.  The Indians improve to 3-2 on the year following a 73% shooting second half.  After missing their first 21 three pointers, Hays made each of their final five attempts.  Pratt falls to 2-5 on the season.

Hays High sweeps Colby in first road test

Hays was on the road Tuesday night following a ten day layoff after their 1-2 start at the Hays City Shootout.

Highlights

 

Hays scored eight straight points midway through the third quarter to take their first double digit lead and eventually lead 36-22.  Colby though refused to go away answering with a 12-0 run and getting back to within two point early in the fourth quarter.  A basket from Tasiah Nunnery capped a 8-3 push that gave Hays a seven point lead with 2:40 left in the game.  Colby again went on a run with seven straight and tied the game at 1:10 on a pair of free throws.  Colby though would not score again and Hays made three of six free throws to win 47-44.

Coach Alex Hutchins

Highlights

 

Neither team led by more than four points in the third quarter with the two changing the lead four times and the third tie of the quarter sent the game to a 55-55 beginning of the fourth quarter.

Colby took the first fourth quarter lead with a basket just fifteen seconds in and then grabbed the lead back at 59-58 just fifteen seconds later.  Hays then embarked on a game deciding 17-3 run to build up a 13 point lead with 4:17 left.  Colby never got closer than nine rest of the way as Hays made five of their final six free throws to win 82-69.

Coach Rick Keltner

 

Hays was led by Tradgon McCrae’s season high 22 points.  TJ Nunnery tied a career mark of 13.  Dayln Schwarz tallied career highs of 12 points and 12 rebounds for his first double-double.  Hays is now 2-2 on the year and will host Pratt next Tuesday for their final game of 2018.  Colby falls to 3-2.
