Hays High Soccer Moves On To State Semifinals

Posted on

The record season that the Hays High soccer team has put together this year will live on for two more games after a 2-1 double overtime win against state power Kapaun Mt. Carmel on Tuesday in Hays.  The game again featured a lot of wind, just like the regional final did the week prior that the Indians won on penalty kicks.

Post Game Comments from the coach:
Coach Chris Michaelis
Hays though had to fight from behind as Kapaun scored within the first two minutes to open the game with the wind at the backs.  Kapaun would get six total shots on goal to just one for Hays High in the first half, Hays though would not allow another goal.

The score remained 1-0 in the favor of Kapaun deep into the second half until Lauren Murphy tied the game at one.  In the second half Hays had six shots on goal, while Kapaun had just one into the wind.

Hays appeared to score the winning goal in the first overtime into wind, but was called for off-sides.  Kapaun did threaten deep into Hays territory several times in the first overtime, but the Hays defense yielded barely any shots.

Hays High then controlled most of the second overtime, getting a shot blocked, missing on two corner kicks and hitting the right post over a ninety second span.  Eventually Lauren Murphy scored her second goal of the game off a shot from near midfield that bounded twice, and on the second bounce went over the top of Kapaun’s goalie and into the net.

Hays is now, 16-3, further extending their record for wins in a season.  Kapaun Mt. Carmel finishes at 14-5.

The Indians are onto the state semi-finals in Topeka at the Hummer Sports Complex.  The Indians will play either at 5:00 or 7:00 on Friday.  The consolation game and championship game are on Saturday.

Hays Soccer To State For First Time

Posted on

The Hays High Indian soccer team advanced to the quarterfinal tournament for the first time in program history with a 1-0 penalty kick win over Andover Central.  The Indians hosted the regional championship game on a windy Thursday evening that saw no regulation goals nor in any of the four overtimes.

Hays High came close to tallying a goal late in the second half when April Johnson hit the bottom half of the cross bar, the ball caromed straight and then back up when the goalie found the ball.

Andover Central thought they had won game in the first overtime with the wind at the backs playing havoc on the ball.  Taylor Herman saved the game on a header along the goal off a Jaguar corner kick.  The header went out of bounds setting up Andover Central for another corner kick that found the net, however the official immediately discounted the goal because of a player moving Indian goalie Laura Truman. 

Hays had four shots on goal in the second overtime with the wind at their backs with non really threatening the Andover Central Goal keeper.

Neither team got a very good look at the goal in the five minute third and fourth over time periods. 

The game finally came down to penalty kicks, and that too had its own drama.  Shelby Dinkel shot and scored first for the Indians and then was matched by Andover Central.  Rachel Luedders had her shot blocked but the Jaguar goalie was declared to not have started on the goal line resulting in a rekick that Luedder converted.  Andover Central again matched the penalty kick goal and then tied the PKs at three after Shannon Shubert nailed her shot.  Megan Bird made the fourth  kick for Hays High then goalie Laura Truman made a stop to set up sophomore Lacey Pfannenstiel with the game winner. 

Hays is now 15-3, further extending their school record. 

Post season will continue for Hays High on Tuesday, May 22nd.

TMP-Marian Baseball Returning to State Tournament

2012 Lakin Regional Champions

 

The baseball team from Thomas More Prep – Marian will be heading back to the Class 3A State Tournament for the third straight year after claiming the Regional Championship Tuesday evening at Louck’s Park in Lakin. After receiving a bye in the quarterfinals for being the #1 seed, the Monarchs defeated Goodland 14-4 in the semifinals and then held on to win 4-3 over Lakin in the title game.

TMP’s Brian Schumacher Post-Game Interview:
TMPpost5-15

TMP has now won 22 straight games to get their record to 22-1 heading into the state tournament in Manhattan next Friday. The Herd has finished as the state runner-up the past two years and will be considered one of the favorites to win it all this year as the #1 team in the state.

Highlights:
tmphilites5-15
Regional Semifinals:  TMP-Marian 14, Goodland 4 (5 Innings)
A productive third and fifth inning put TMP past Goodland in the semifinals. TMP swept Goodland in a doubleheader earlier this year and earned their third win over the Cowboys (6-16) in 2012.

The Monarchs led 1-0 going into the bottom of the third inning. Goodland’s starting pitcher Taylen Smith started the third frame by giving up five straight walks. The Monarchs would send 11 batters to plate that inning while posting six runs.

TMP would score five more runs in the fifth inning to close out the game early due to the 10-run mercy rule after five innings.

TMP managed to get seven hits in the game led by Jacob Fouts who went 2-for-3 from the plate.

Pierce Schippers pitched all five innings for the win. Schippers (3-0) gave up six hits while striking out eight batters and issuing no walks.

Regional Championship Game:  TMP-Marian 4, Lakin 3
In a rematch of last year’s Regional Championship game, the Monarchs held on for the win despite not hitting well. Only two batters from TMP came up with hits in the contest. Taylor Pfeifer and Colby Schippers both went 2-for-3 from the plate to account for the four Monarch hits.

TMP went scoreless the first three innings thanks in part to the excellent pitching from Lakin’s Ryan Swank. Along with only giving up four hits, Swank struck out 12 batters. He struck out two Monarchs in each of his six innings on the mound.

After tying the game at 1-1 in the fourth inning off a Colby Schippers’ single, TMP built their lead in the fifth inning. With two outs in the frame, Pfeifer came up with a 2-RBI double to help the Monarchs build a 4-1 lead.

After a couple of errors committed by the Monarchs, Lakin (19-3) would come right back and score two runs in the top of the sixth inning to make it a one-run ballgame.

The Broncs would have one more chance in the seventh inning with runners at second and third and with two outs, but TMP’s starting pitcher Nick Hammeke forced a pop-up to end the game. Hammeke (8-0) pitched a complete game giving up three runs on six hits while striking out five batters.
