Ellis falls in state quarterfinals

The last time the Ellis girls’ advanced to the state tournament they made it all the way to the state title game. For a while Wednesday night it looked as if they were on course to do that again. The Lady Railers raced out to an early seven-point lead, but Washington County came storming back with a 14-0 run and never trail again in their 64-44 win in the 2A state quarterfinals at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan.

Ellis shot just 34-percent for the game and was outrebounded by 17. The Tigers, who are making their first ever state tournament appearance, had 17 offensive rebounds in the game.

Brittney Dinkel led Ellis with 16 points as the the Lady Railers end their at 19-5.

Hays 48 – Salina Central 46
The Hays High Indians new they would be in for a fight with Salina Central in the first round of the state tournament on Wednesday night.  The finish would turn out just like their first meeting on February 11th.

Just as in the first meeting, Salina Central jumped out to an early lead using a barrage of three pointers to grab a 9-6 advantage.  Hays scored the next seven points to go up 13-9, a lead the Indians would hold over the Mustangs through the first half.  Central did tie the game at 13 with their first basket of the second quarter, but the Indians responded with an 11-2 run capped by a Jordan Windholz three, his third of the first half.  The nine point advantage at 24-15 would prove to the the Indians biggest lead of the game.  Central scored five straight to get with in four when Clayton Riedel hit a jumper with three second remaining before half for the 26-20 lead heading into the locker rooms.

Salina Central opened the second half on their biggest run of the game scoring seven straight, going up 27-26.  Hays scored just eight, third quarter points.  Three of those points came as the third quarter expired when Kyler Niernberger first three pointer of the season.

Trailing 35-34 into the fourth quarter, the Indians fell behind by as many as six on three different occasions.  The last of which came at 46-40 with under 3:30 remaining in the game.  Hays would yield no more points as Windholz sandwiched two more threes around a Mustang turnover to tie the game at 46 with 1:50 remaining.  Central intended to run down the final 1:50 and take a potential game winning shot.  Isaiah Nunnery though never let the Mustangs settle in and his defensive pressure allowed Lane Clark to steal the ball from behind a Central player.  Clark was fouled on the steal with 18.2 seconds remaining.  Clark calmly stepped to the free throw line and knocked down both ends of a one and one, giving Hays a 48-46 lead.  Then it was time for the defense to shine once more.  Central took the clock down to 4.9 seconds before calling a time out, and the Indians defensive pressure forced a three pointer from six feet beyond the arc that fell harmlessly away for the Hays High victory.

Windholz, was the only Indians in double figures,  leading all scoring with 16 on five three pointers and one of two from the free throw line.

Hays shot 43% from the field and made 7 of 17 3’s.  Salina Central shot 71% in the second half and 18 of 38 in the game for 47%.  The Mustangs were 8 of 16 beyond the arc.

Hays moves on to the semi-finals were they will face off against 22-1 Topeka Highland Park.  Tip off is scheduled for 8:15.

Rest of the 5A tournament and schedule:

#1 Lansing 68 – #8 St. Thomas Aquinas 57

TMP season ends against Beloit

Beloit 62, TMP 53

TMP stood toe to toe with the number five team in 3A on Saturday night but did not have enough gas left in the tank in the end losing 62-53 in the sub-state championship game to the Beloit Trojans.  The Monarchs trailed through most of the first half before taking the lead late in the second quarter on Jared Vitztum three pointer that made it 25-24 TMP.  Eventually the Monarchs were able to end the first half ahead 28-26.

TMP scored the first bucket out of the gate in the third quarter and held their largest lead at four points.  Beloit would respond with a 16 to two run that would put them up 10 and eventually stretched the lead to 11.  The Monarchs would close the gap to 49-40 heading into the fourth quarter.

It was a battle in the fourth.  TMP would scratch back to within five at 58-53 and had a couple of chances to make it a one possession game but would not get any closer as the Trojans scored the final four points of the game.  TMP had three in double figures on the night: Jordan Gottschalk 17, Kameron Schmidt 11 and Jared Vitztum 11.  The Monarchs end their season at 13 and 10.  Beloit is now 22 and one on the year and will head to Hutchinson next week to play in the 3A State Tournament.

Indians are heading to state

NCKTech LOCAL SPORTS BANNERBy Dustin Armbruster

Hays 55 – Bishop Carroll 38

Just 12 points were scored between Hays and Bishop Carroll over the first quarter of their sub-state championship game Friday night.  Carroll led 7-5 after the first holding the Indians to just a pair of Brady Werth free throws and a Jordan Windholz three.

It was the defense that helped Hays High get a big half time lead holding the Eagles to just one second quarter point.

The Indians still trailed 8-7 in the second quarter when Werth threw down a two handed dunk followed by a Kyler Niernberger traditional three point play to spark a 14-0 run to close the first half.  Hays led Bishop Carroll 21-8 at half time.

The Indians run continued into the second half when Nierenberger found Werth for an alley-oop slam to open up a 14-2 run putting Hays up 35-10 midway through the third quarter.

The Hays lead never shrunk below 17 points as the Indians took the 55-38 victory and punched their ticket to the 5A state basketball tournament for a second consecutive year.  The 5A boys quarterfinals will be held next Wednesday at the Expo Center in Topeka.

Werth and Windholz led the Indians in scoring with 15 each.  Bishop Carroll (8-14) was led by Patrick Carney and Connor Evans each with 11.

Hays is 22-0 and will be the either the #1 or #2 seed at state as Lansing also finished 22-0.  A coin flip will determine the seeds.

Topeka Highland Park and Goddard Eisenhower will be the #3 and #4 seed.  Each team finished 21-1.

Wichita Heights will be the five seed at 18-4.

KC Washington will be the six seed at 17-5.

Salina Central is the seven seed at 13-9.

St. Thomas Aquinas will be the eight seed at 12-10.



TMP takes out Minneapolis, advances to championship

TMP 55, Minneapolis 52

It took over 30 minutes for the TMP Monarchs to take the lead against Minneapolis, a lead they would not relinquish on their way to a 55 to 52 win over Minneapolis.  Trailing since early in the first quarter, TMP had to play catch up all night long in their semi-final bout with the Lions.  The Monarchs trailed by seven at halftime and things looked to be going South for them as Minneapolis grabbed a 13 point lead midway through the third quarter at 44 to 31.

TMP would close the quarter on a four to nothing run and the comeback was on.  With Minneapolis leading 46-40, head coach Eric Shupe was called for a technical foul and Jared Vitztum would hit both free throws.  On the ensuing possession Jordan Gottschalk completed an old fashioned three point play to pull the Monarchs within one point.  It took Minneapolis a couple of possessions to knock down a couple of free throws and regain a three point advantage.

TMP would string three free throws together to tie the game at 48 and Vitztum would come up with the biggest shot of his young career when he buried a three-pointer from the right wing and TMP took a 51-48 lead.  Vitztum finished with 13 points as did Peyton Hoffman. The two teams would trade a few more points over the last minute but TMP pulled off the upset and move on to Saturday’s sub-state championship game against Beloit who squeaked out a 72-71 overtime win over Lyons.  Saturday’s game is set to tip around 7:30pm.

Game Highlights

Hays High Girl’s Season Comes To A Close

NCKTech LOCAL SPORTS BANNERBy Dustin Armbruster

The Hays High Lady Indians basketball season came to a close much the same way it started, with a loss.  Hays finished their season with a 60-29 loss in Great Bend falling to 0-21 on the year.

Great Bend started the game on a 23-0 run before Hays answered with six straight free throws, but the damage had been done.

Hays trailed by the same 23 point margin at half time 36-13 and 58-21 after three quarters.  The Indians outscored Great Bend 8-2 in a continuous running clock fourth quarter.

Great Bend improves to 19-2 on the year and will play Maize South for a sub-state championship on Saturday evening at home.

Hays was led by Mattison Schlaefli and Haley Wells each scoring eight points.
