Diamond Classic Games Cancelled For Today

By Dustin Armbruster

The remaining games of the Western Plains Diamond Classic have been cancelled for Saturday. Weather concerns altered the schedule on Thursday and Friday already, and the threat of severe weather today forced the cancellation of the remainder of the tournament.

Indians beat Word of Life; weather alters Diamond Classic schedule

The Hays High Indians took game one of the 2015 Diamond Classic 6-4 over Wichita Word of Life Thursday afternoon.

Hays fell behind 3-0 in the second inning following two fielding errors by the Indians.

RELATED STORY: Updated schedule for remaining games.

Hays pushed their first run across in the bottom of the third inning on a Dalton Stout RBI single to score Cole Schumacher. Stout drove in another run with a single in the fifth, then a throwing error on the relay from short stop to the pitcher allowed Adam Klaus to tie the game at three. The Indians took their first lead at 4-3 in the bottom of the same fifth inning when Marcus Altman drove in pinch runner Jace Armstrong.

Word of Life tied the game up in the sixth inning at 4-4. In the bottom of the sixth the Indians received the game winning runs on RBI singles by Jarrett Pfannenstiel and Adam Klaus.

Cole Schumacher goes the distance for his fourth win of the year, pitching seven innings allowing four runs, four hits, striking out five and walking only one.

Hays High is now 7-8 on the year.

Word of Life beat Salina Central 6-4 in the second game of the tournament.

Then mother nature won between Hays and Great Bend Thursday evening.

The tournament schedule has been changed for Friday. There will be two sites in order to try to get games in before the potential for more weather.
Hays High will host Salina Central at 1:00 at Hays High School, followed by Goddard and Salina Central.
Larks Park will be the other host site. Goddard will play Great Bend at 1:00 and then Great Bend will play Word of Life.

Monarchs beat Colby 8-0

TMP scored five runs in the fourth inning and the Monarchs pitchers held Goodland to just two hits taking game one of a scheduled doubleheader 8-0 Thursday in Hays.

Liam Stults held the Cowboys to just two hits and did not allow a run over five innings despite walking six. Stults imporved to 4-2 on the year with the win.

The Monarchs offense took advantage of six Goodland errors, three coming in the second inning as TMP took a 2-0 lead.

The Monarchs loaded the bases to start the bottom of the fourth and TMP blew the game open with the five runs in the inning.

Ryan Ruder was 1-for-2 with three RBIs and pitched two innings of scoreless relief.

Game two was called in the bottom of the first inning because of severe weather.

TMP is 13-4 and will close out the regular season Thursday, May 14 at Colby.

Indians’ Hobson Signs To Golf At FHSU

By Dustin Armbruster

It takes practice. Lots and lots of practice. For Hays High senior Cash Hobson all of that practice finally payed off his final season of prep golf with career best numbers. That in turn has provided Hobson the opportunity to play golf on the collegiate level. Wednesday at Hays High, Hobson signed his letter of intent to golf for the Fort Hays State University Tigers. The name Hobson is a familiar one with the Tiger family. Cash’s sister also golfed for the Tigers and his dad is the head coach for the FHSU women’s basketball team, but also golfs. All three are highly competitive with one another on the course, but Cash said that his sister is probably the best golfer of the three.

Cash Hobson
Cash Hobson

Hobson has golfed on varsity for four consecutive years, but has seen his score take a dramatic improvement after lots of summer work. During his freshman year, Hobson averaged an 87.5, then 85.4 as a sophomore and 85.1 as a junior. His senior though has been a break out season. Currently averaging a 79.5, Hobson has finished in the top ten at five tournaments this season after only placing in the top ten twice in 30 events the previous three years.

Coach Mark Watts

Hobson and the rest of the Indian’s golf team will be in Garden City for the 4A regional golf meet on Monday, May 18th.

TMP senior Max Megaffin to play golf at FHSU

TMP-Marian senior Max Megaffin will follow in the footsteps of his older brother and play golf at Fort Hays State University.

Megaffin signingMax signed his letter of intent Tuesday afternoon to continue his education and play golf next season at FHSU.

He said his older brother Kade was the reason he took up golf and said he probably wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for his brother.

“He was really my first inspiration to play golf,” and Max said “I’m looking forward to playing with him again.”

Max Megaffin

Kade Megaffin walked on to the golf team this season as a freshman at FHSU.

TMP golf coach Bryan VonFeldt was a member of the Fort Hays golf team from 2002 to 2006 and said he believes committing to Fort Hays will take some pressure off of Max as he finishes out the high school season.

Bryan VonFeldt

Last year Max finished 20th at the 3A state tournament at Cherry Oaks Golf Course in Cheney. The Monarchs finished 5th as a team.

Max plans to major in finance at Fort Hays State.
