By Dustin Armbruster

The Hays High Indians took their first road test in swing on Thursday night as both the boys and girls win.

That is when Brenly Terrell hit her third and fourth three pointer of the first half to give Colby a 16-14 lead at half time.

Colby opened up their biggest lead of the game at 23-19 midway through the third quarter, but Hays closed the quarter on a 10-0 run and then added a free throw to start the fourth quarter to take a 30-23 lead. Colby though fought back to force tie scores at 32 and 34. The Lady Eagles took their last lead of the game with a free throw at the 2:26 mark. Hays scored the games last five points off of the game capped with two Summer Smith free throws with thirteen seconds left to secure the win.

Hays was led in scoring by Haley George who was in the double figures for the first time in her career, scoring 10. Hays shot 38% from the field while improving to 2-3 on the year. Colby shot just 29% and committed 33 turnovers and fell to 0-4.

The 3rd ranked team in class 4A-1, playing their fifth game in eight days, went on the road for the first time to take a win less Colby squad that hadn’t played since Saturday. The game was close for the first two minutes as Hays held a 5-4 lead. Hays though found a rhythm on offense and clamped down on defense, using a 16-2 run to grab a 21-6 lead at the end of the first quarter. In that first quarter Keith Dryden scored nine on two three pointers and a three point play. Brady Werth scored five in the first, including an emphatic dunk in which he was fouled and hit the free throw.

The Indians would runs of 10-3, 13-1, 12-0 and 10-0 in taking a fifty point lead to the fourth quarter at 68-18. The fourth quarter was continuous clock and Hays walked away with a 79-27 victory.

Hays shot 55% from the field and made 6 of 18 threes. The Indians free throw shooting continued to signs of improvement, making 13 of 15 on Thursday night. Colby made just 21% of their shots, 1 of 11 three pointers and 6 of 9 free throws. Colby also committed 28 turnovers to the Indian’s 12.

Dryden led the way for Hays scoring a career high 26, coming off his 22 versus Pratt on Tuesday. Werth collected his 10 career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Isaiah Nunnery scored 11 in the victory.

Hays improves to 4-1 on the year. Colby drops to 0-3.

Hays High splits with Pratt

Posted on

By DUSTIN ARMBRUSTER
Hays Post

Girls: Pratt 57, Hays 42

The Hays High Lady Indians hung with Tuesday night at home. But missed opportunities kept Hays from being close at the end. Pratt traveled to Hays with a number four ranking in class 4A-2. The two teams tied at two, four, and seven before Pratt took the lead for good at 9-7. Hays trailed by just four at the end of the first quarter 16-12, but scored just one field goal in each the second and third quarters. The Lady Indians though kept giving themselves chances by getting to the free throw line in the second quarter, but made just 8 of 16 chances by half time.

Game Highlights

 

Down 28-21, Hays opened the second half with a field goal to get within five. They would get four chances to score and get within a single possession but couldn’t convert. Pratt opened up a ten point lead and Hays fought back to within six and then had the ball four more times down 35-27 but couldn’t score.

Pratt used a 7-1 run at the end of the third quarter to go up 40-28 and Hays never did threaten again.

Kirk Maska Postgame Interview

 

The Indians shot 32% from the field on 13 of 40 shooting. Hays though made just 14 of 26 free throws. Pratt shot 18 of 49 for 37% but made 5 of 14 threes and 11 of 13 free throws.

Hays falls to 1-3 on the year and was led in scoring by a career high 10 from Ashlyn Parrish. Pratt was led by Paige Bailey with 16 and Destani Garten with 15 as the Greenbacks move to 2-0.
Boys: Hays 71, Pratt 42

Both Hays and Pratt came into Tuesday night’s game ranked in their respective classes. Hays third in 4A-.1 and Pratt eighth in 4A-2. Each team hit their first three shots of the game giving Pratt an 8-6 lead. Hays though used a 17-3 run grabbing an 11 point lead at 22-11. Pratt battled back to get within six to close the first quarter at 24-18.

That is where the Indian defense tightened up and allowed just 11 points over the next two quarters. For the Hays offense, they kept going hitting 9 of their first 11 shots and 15 of 26 by halftime including five three pointers. Isaiah Nunnery set a new career high in scoring during the first half with 18, he would finish with 23.

Game Highlights

 

The Indians scored 12 points of the fourth quarter to put any thoughts of a comeback away. Nunnery wasn’t the only Indian with a hot shooting hand. Keith Dryden set a new career high 20 as well. The two combined for seven of the teams eight made three point field goals. Brady Werth finished in double figures for the 43 time in his career, adding 12 points. Samson Kohman scored 18 to lead the way for Pratt.

Hays shot 50% from the field 23 of 46 and 8 of 18 on threes. Hays also hit 15 of 18 free throws. Pratt shot just 32% in the loss going 14 of 44 and 5 of 18 behind the arc. Pratt made 9 of 10 free throws.

Rick Keltner Postgame Interview

 

The Indians move to 3-1 on the year, Pratt is now 0-2.

Hays will be on the road for the first time this season as they travel to Colby on Thursday. That game will put the Indians a quarter of the way through their regular season schedule, with Junction City still coming up before the Christmas break. The games in Colby have a later start time.

Hays High got their biggest test of the young season in the championship game of the Gerald Mitchell Hays City Shootout. The Indians ranked 3rd in class 4A-1 took on Olathe North who is ranked 7th in class 6A. Hays took an early 8-3 lead and then closed the first quarter on a run to push the lead back to five at 15-10.

Both Hays and Olathe North battled foul trouble in the second quarter limiting both teams scoring. Hays though didn’t score a field goal and made just four free throws fall behind at half time 23-19.

Hays pushed early in the second half to tie the score at 23 and then took the lead at 30-29 on back to back Keith Dryden field goals. Olathe North though then held Hays to just one field goal over the fourth quarter and finished the game on a 16-2 run, winning 45-32.

Hays shot just 33% from the field 11-33. Out of those shots, Hays was just 3 for 19 on 3’s. Olathe North shot 14 of 40 for 35% and made 3 of 10 3’s. Hays did out rebound the Eagles 31-25, but committed 16 turnovers to North’s four.

Isaiah Nunnery led the way for Hays with 10 points and Brady Werth with 9. Olathe North was led in scoring by RJ Smith 12 and Alonzo Williams with 11. All four were named to the all tournament team.

Hays is now 2-1 on the season and host state ranked Pratt on Tuesday.

 

Girls: TMP-Marian 53, Hays 27

The Hays High Lady Indians couldn’t buy a basket. It was a trend that would continue for all four quarters as Hays fell to TMP in the 4th place game 53-27.

Hays took their only lead of the game at 5-4 on back to back Mattison Schlaefli baskets with 5:10 remaining in the first quarter. Hays though wouldn’t score for the next 5:25. Despite the scoring drought Hays was able to keep the game close and trailed 17-13 with 3:03 to go in the first half, after to Maddie Keller free throws. Hays then would have to endure another scoring drought, this time for 10:28 seconds and were behind by 14 before the Lady Indians would score again.

Hays shot just 17% from the field 8 for 46. Hays was led in scoring by Schlaefli’s eight points. The Lady Indians fall to 1-2.

In many ways it was a typical Hays High versus Great Bend game on Friday night. The two Western Athletic Conference rivals battled in the semi-finals of the Gerald Mitchell Hays City Shootout to a 54-50 Hays victory.

Great Bend took an early 3-2 lead but Hays answered with a 8-1 run to lead for the first time by six points at 10-4. That six point margin would be the biggest lead that Hays could secure all night. They led by six on four separate occasions.

With just under 3:00 left in the half Great Bend took their final lead of the game at 17-16. Hays responded with a 7-0 run and took the half time lead at 23-17.

Great Bend got within one point on three separate occasions in the third quarter including back to back three pointers to end the quarter, closing the gap to 33-32.

In the fourth, Hays and Great Bend were tied three times, but each time Hays was able to score and eventually went on a 8-2 run to pull ahead 48-42 with 2:14 remaining and 50-44 with 1:30 left. Hays missed the front end of a pair of one and one opportunities at the free throw line allowing Great Bend the chance to get with in one at 51-50 with four seconds left, but Cash Hobson and Shane Berens connected on 3 of 4 free throws to end the game.

Hays improves to 2-0 on the season. The Indians were led in scoring by Isaiah Nunnery with 15. Brady Werth scored 13. For Great Bend only four players scored but each in double figures. Trey Ibarra and Shade Wondra each had 13. Kody Crosby and Blake Sullivan each added 12.

Hays moves onto the championship game of the Hays City Shootout for the 18th time and will play Olathe North at 7:00 Saturday evening. North beat Garden City 60-58 hitting a pair of free throws with less that a second remaining after leading in by 17 points during the game.
