Doug Oberle Postgame Interview

 

photoAfter holding the Titans to a three-and-out on their second possession of the game the Knights blocked a punt and recovered the ball inside the Argonia-Attica five yard line.

Two plays later, with 8:59 remaining in the first quarter, Joe Dortland scored from four yards out putting the Knights up 8-0 after the two-point conversation.

Then on the next Victoria possession the Knights capped off 13-play, 50-yard drive with a three-yard Brady Dinkel touchdown run, his first of three in the first half.

With Victoria leading 30-0 with just 3:29 left in the first half Dinkel found Taylor Corley for a 37 yard touchdown pass giving the Knights a 36-0 at the break.

Argonia-Attica scored their only touchdown at the end of the third quarter cutting the Knights lead to 36-8.

But the fourth quarter belonged to the Knights and senior running back Bryan Dome who scored two-touchdowns in the quarter and finished with a game-high 215 yards on the ground.

Quarterback Brady Dinkel was 5-for-9 for 61 yards and one touchdown and added three rushing touchdowns.

The Knights outgained Argonia-Attica 368 total yards to just 145.

The Knights finish the season 12-1 and win the sixth state championship in school history and the third in the eight-man classification.

Hays High’s Hannah Hearld signs softball letter of intent with Fort Hays State

By DUSTIN ARMBRUSTER
Hays Post

Hannah Hearld knew at an early age she wanted to play softball on the collegiate level. Thursday at the Hays High School cafeteria, the senior made it a reality. Hearld signed her national Letter of Intent to play softball for Fort Hays State University.

Hearld said despite the coaching change at FHSU, she still felt very comfortable in making her decision to play for the Tigers.

 

Hearld’s career numbers are among some of the best for the Indians. The feat is made even more impressive factoring in that she missed her sophomore season with a knee injury that required surgery. The injury which was suffered in basketball led Hearld to make the decision to concentrate on one sport alone…softball.

Hays High softball coach Abby Maska said the besides being a great softball player, Hearld is also a leader on and off the field.

 

Hearld is a .570 career hitting with 82 hits in 144 at bats. She has struck out just three times in her career. Through two season, the senior has tallied 53 runs scored and 70 runs batted in.

In the circle she is 29-4 with a 1.47 earned run average. In 33 starts she has thrown 24 complete games. Over 203 1/3 innings pitched she has struck out 255 and walked just 49. Opponents are hitting just .175 against Hearld.

Hays High’s Brady Werth signs with FHSU

By DUSTIN ARMBRUSTER
Hays Post

Hays High senior Brady Werth won’t have far to travel when he heads to college next fall. The 6’7″ center signed his National Letter of Intent to play basketball in Hays for Fort Hays State University.

Werth said he realized his freshman year that he would potentially have the opportunity to play on the collegiate level.

 

Werth has scored 825 points in his career and currently ranks 9th in career scoring. Matt Stramel is the all-time scoring leader with 1,025 points. His 418 rebounds rank 8th. The all time mark is held by Ward Kroeger at 570. He has 195 blocks and 41 double-figure scoring games in 68 games.

He has been honored as the Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year as both a sophomore and junior. Werth was also named the Most Inspirational Player at the 2013 Dodge City Tournament of Champions, which the Indians won for the first time since 1955.

Werth plans on majoring in Geology.

Coach Rick Keltner is glad Werth was able to make his decision before the season started.

 

The Hays High Indians finished 4th at the class 5A state tournament last year, finishing with a 23-2 record.

The Hays High season tips off on December 4th as they take on DeSoto to open up the Gerald Mitchell Hays City Shootout.

Jonathan Zweygardt
