Hutch-Trinity sweeps TMP in regular season finale

Hutch-Trinity girls 53, TMP 37

The Hutchinson-Trinity Catholic Lady Celtics used a 9-0 run to end the first quarter and open the second quarter to build an eight-point with 5:45 to play in the first and they would never trail again on their way to a 53-37 win Thursday at Al Billinger Fieldhouse.

Rose McFarland postgame

The Monarchs opened the game with back-to-back threes from Jillian Lowe and Adell Riedel to go up 6-0 but the Celtics answered with a pair of threes of their own to tie the game at six. The two teams were tied two more times in the first quarter, including at 13-13 before the Celtics put together that 9-0 run.

In the second quarter Hutchinson-Trinity built a double-digit lead with 4:20 to play in the second before leading 29-19.

The Celtics opened the second half on a 6-0 run and outscored the Monarchs by 12 in the third quarter as they built on their double-digit lead on their way to the 53-37 win.

On Senior night Emily Schippers collected 12 points to lead the Monarchs and Trinity’s Olivia Shank lead all scorers with 22.

Game highlights

The loss ends the Monarchs’ eight-game win streak and drops them to 15-5 on the season. They will host Hoisington on Monday at 7 p.m.

Hutch-Trinity boys 74, TMP 54

The Hutch-Trinity boys opened the game on a 14-2 run and Kaleb Hammeke poured in a new season-high 32 points to lead the Celtics passed the TMP boys 74-54 Thursday at Al Billinger Fieldhouse.

Bill Meagher postgame

After jumping out to the 12-point first quarter lead Trinity went up by 15, at 22-7 with just under two minutes to play but TMP was able to cut the deficit to eight at the end of one when Ryan Stoecklein came off the bench and hit three straight threes.

Stoecklein, who missed much of the season with an ankle injury would re-injure it late in the first quarter and not return to the game.

The Celtics were able to build their lead back up to 12 on two separate occasions in the second quarter but the Monarchs never went away and a Jackson Schulte three-pointer coupled with a Ryan Karlin fast break bucket cut the Trinity lead to 36-30.

But every time the Monarchs made a run the Celtics had an answer. This time they outscored the Monarchs 16-2 over a five-minute stretch of the second and third quarters to go up 52-32.

A lead the Monarchs could never overcome as they fall 74-54.

Game highlights

Kaleb Hammeke, who committed to Fort Hays State this week, lead all scorers with 32 points and his brother Lucas added 17.

The Monarchs were led by Ryan Karlin who finished with 12 points. Fellow senior Jack Johnson finished with seven points, nine rebounds and five blocks.

TMP drops to 10-11 on the season and will host Lyons in the first round of sub-state Tuesday.

Hays splits at Dodge City to end WAC play

Hays High visited Dodge City on Thursday night.  The game was originally scheduled for Tuesday but was rescheduled due to winter weather.  Both this game in Dodge City and Friday Night’s game versus Abilene counted towards sub-state tournament records.

The Hays girls will host Kapaun next Wednesday to open up postseason while the boys will be on the road to Salina Central next Thursday.

Both teams will finish the regular season with senior night against Abilene tomorrow night.

Girls

Hays 56 – Dodge City 49

A 7-0 run during first quarter put Dodge City in front 9-4 as the Indians made just two of their first ten shots.  Hays trailed much of the first half and nearly the entire second quarter.  However, the Indians stayed in the game despite shooting just 29% in the first half.  Hays tied the game four different times before taking the lead on an Isabel Robben layup with five seconds left in the second quarter.  The basket gave the Indians a 26-24 lead at halftime.

Highlights

 

Hays trailed just once in the second half.  Leading by five in the early stages of the third quarter Hays saw Dodge City go on a 8-2 run to regain the lead at 32-31.  Hays though answered right back on a 7-0 run to grab the lead for good in the third quarter.  Though the Indians did not trail again, doesn’t mean things were easy.  Hays led by six early in the fourth quarter before the Red Demons scored six straight points to tie the game at 41 with 5:15 left in the game.  Hays scored the next ten points of the game with the help of full court pressure that forced four straight turnovers.  The ten point lead and free throw shooting provided enough cushion to win 56-49.

Coach Alex Hutchins

 

The Indians finish second in the Western Athletic Conference at 6-2 and move to 13-6 overall.  Savannah Schneider scores a team high 16 in the victory.

Boys

Dodge City 41 – Hays 37

Hays never trailed in the first half against Dodge City.  Following game opening three pointers from each team, the Indians went on a 9-0 run to build their largest first half lead of 12-3.  The Indians scored just eight points in the remaining ten minutes of the half.  The Hays defense though kept Dodge City from doing much on their end of the offense.  A 14-5 run tied the game for the Red Demons but it took 6:20 to do so.  Hays outscored Dodge City 3-2 in the final ninety seconds of the half for a 20-19 halftime lead.

Highlights

 

Dodge City took their first lead of the second half after scoring first in the third quarter.  Trailing 21-20 and 23-22 the Indians established a lead once again and lead 29-28 heading to the fourth quarter.  Hays opened the fourth quarter with a Braiden Meyers three pointer and a three point play from Tradgon McCrae to build a seven point lead at 35-28.

The Indians would only score one more basket the rest of the game.  The field goal with 4:10 left lifted Hays to a 37-33 advantage.  Dodge City didn’t have much offense to close out the game but it was just enough.  The Red Demons took the lead at 39-37 on their third three pointer of the quarter and seventh of the game.  Hays still stood a chance in the final minute as Dodge City made just two of four free throws but the Indians couldn’t get a shot to go through the rim losing 41-37.

Coach Rick Keltner

 

Hays falls to 9-10 and finishes 4-4 in the WAC.  Dodge City finishes the year at 11-9 and 4-4.  Tradgon McCrae led the team with 16 points.  The Indians will be at home on Friday for Senior Night against Abilene.

Hays High girls win, boys lose in Garden City

It was a flashback Friday in Garden City for Hays High as they played their Western Athletic Conference games with the Buffaloes in “The Garden” at the old high school.  The games had been moved from Garden City High School to Horace Good Middle School because of the Garden City hosting a KSHSAA 6A Regional Wrestling Tournament.

Girls

#10-5A Hays 46 – Garden City 35

Garden City led the entire first quarter as they scored the first three points of the game.  Tied at nine a piece in Hays could not take the lead on two possessions and trailed after one quarter 14-11.  The Indians trailed 16-15 and misfired on the next seven possessions, but the defensive effort remained constant for Hays as they trailed just 18-15 with 2:00 to go in half.  Hays scored the final seven points of the quarter to take a 22-18 lead by halftime on their first lead of the game.

Highlights

 

Both teams struggled to score starting the third quarter.  Tied at 22 points a piece, Hays finished the third quarter on a 9-2 run capped by a Brooke Denning three pointer for a 31-24 lead heading to the fourth quarter.  The Indians’ lead never dropped below two possessions in the fourth quarter.  The Hays defense kept Garden City from scoring back to back field goals the entire quarter on their way to a 46-35 victory.

Hays grabbed a season high 46 rebounds as  Garden City made their first three pointer then missed the next 20 attempts.

Coach Alex Hutchins

 

Brooke Denning lead the team with 16 points to tie a season high.  The Indians are 12-6 on the year and sit alone in second place in the conference standings at 5-2.  Garden City falls to 11-8 and 3-4.

 

Boys

Garden City 55 – Hays 49

Garden City was trying to claim the WAC crown against Hays on Friday night with a victory securing the outright title.  Hays won the 2018 crown as Garden City finished second.  Garden City entered the Friday night contest with a one game lead of the Indians.

Garden City made their first six three pointers and eight of ten first quarter shots to lead 22-13.  Hays trailed by as many as 12 in the first quarter before Tradgon McCrae hit a three pointer to end the first quarter.  That shot was the start to a 9-0 run that brought the Indians back within three at 22-19.  Garden City didn’t score for the first 3:20 of the second quarter but once they did, the Buffaloes went on a 12-3 run to reclaim a 12 point lead.  The Indians scored the final five points of the half with Jason Krannwitter hitting a right corner three closing the halftime deficit down to 34-27.

Highlights

 

Hays scored just one field goal and four free throws in the third quarter as Garden City grabbed a pair of 13 point leads and led 46-33 entering the fourth.  The Indians cut the Garden City advantage down to six midway through the fourth quarter after holding the Buffaloes scoreless for over three minutes.  Garden City went back up by ten with 2:05 left, but left the door open for Hays scoring just a single point for the remainder of the game.  The Indians had made five consecutive field goals but had the next five shots hit the rim but refused to go in.  A three pointer from thirty plus feet at the buzzer by McCrae brought the final score to 55-49 in favor of Garden City.

Coach Rick Keltner

 

Hays falls to 9-9 on the year and 4-3 in the WAC.  McCrae scored 14 points and Cade Swayne adds 12.  Garden City is the Western Athletic Conference champions moving to 6-1 in league play and 15-4 overall.

Hays sweeps Great Bend at home

Hays High continued their four game Western Athletic Conference home stand as they hosted Great Bend on Tuesday.

Girls

#10 Hays 60 – Great Bend 29

Jaycee Dale hit a three from the right corner on the first possession to set an early tone in the game for the Indians.  Hays scored the first six points of the game, pushed their lead to ten after the first quarter and lead by 21 at halftime 38-17.  The most three pointers Hays had hit in a single game this season was seven.  The Indians made six in the first half alone against the Panthers.  Dale and Savannah Schneider were both to double figures by halftime with Dale at 13 and Schneider scoring 12.

Highlights

 

Hays held Great Bend to just 12 second half points as the Indians roll to a 60-29 victory.  Savannah Schneider scored a game high 16, Jaycee Dale adds 13 and Brooke Denning put in 11.

Coach Alex Hutchins

 

Hays improves to 11-4 on the year and 4-1 in the WAC.  Great Bend falls to 1-15 and 0-5.  The Indians will host the #2 team in 6A and conference leading Liberal on Friday.

Boys

Hays 47 – Great Bend 39

Each team used a first half run to take their big leads of the first two quarters.  An 8-0 Great Bend run in the first quarter gave the Panthers a 8-3 advantage.  The Indians trailed by six in the first then cut the lead down to 13-11 as Cade Swayne hit a buzzer beating put back.  Those two points were combined with nine more to start the second quarter and that 11-0 run gave Hays a 20-13 edge.  Neither team did much scoring for final five minutes of the second quarter and Hays led 22-17 at halftime.

Highlights

 

Hays never trailed in the second half but the final margin didn’t come easily.  Great Bend cut the Hays advantage down to two points twice in the third quarter.  Both times the Indians answered with a three pointer once from Braiden Meyers and the second time from TJ Nunnery.  The Panthers chopped down a double digit lead for the Indians twice to get within six points but Hays made each of their final four free throws to win 47-39.

Coach Rick Keltner

 

Tradon McCrae led the Indians with 15 points.  TN Nunnery scored 10 in the victory.  Hays improves to 8-7 on the season and 3-2 in conference play.  Great Bend drops to 5-11 and 2-3.

Hays hosts Liberal on Friday.

Hays High splits with Garden City in makeup games

Hays played their third game of the week as they opened with games on each of the first two days of February.  The Indians hosted Garden City in a game that was snowed out back in January.

Girls

#10 Hays – Garden City

Garden City jumped out to the first lead of the game scoring four points on a pair of Hays High turnovers.  Hays scored the next six points and pushed their lead as high as five in the first quarter after a 6-1 run at 12-7.  Hays entered the second quarter leading by five and kept their lead at 22-20 into halftime.

Highlights

 

The Indians dominated most of the third quarter to expand their lead up to ten twice at 32-22 and 34-24.  Part of that third quarter was a 10-2 run over the five minute stretch.  Garden City hit what seemed to be a harmless three pointer late in the third quarter but that basket began a 13-0 run with 10 of those points coming in the fourth quarter.  The run put Garden City on top 37-34.  After the Indians took a 34-24 lead in the third quarter Hays didn’t score for the next 9:30 and did have a field goal for 10:08.  But the field goal would be huge.  Mattie Hutchison buried a three pointer to tie the game at 38 with :12 left.  Garden City turned it over on the next possession setting up a game winning opportunity for Brooke Denning who buried a three pointer as time expired.  The basket sent Hays to a 41-38 victory.  Garden City missed four of five free throws in the final ninety seconds to leave the door open for the Indians.

Coach Alex Hutchins

 

Brooke Denning scored 15 to lead the Indians to a 10-4 record and a 3-1 mark in the WAC.  Garden City falls to 8-7 and 1-3.

Boys

Garden City 50 – Hays 39

Garden City used an 11-0 run to blow open a tight first quarter against Hays.  Down 19-7 early in the second quarter Hays went on a 8-0 to get within four at 19-15.  The Indians had the ball two more times at the score but did come away with any points.  Garden City increased the lead to nine once again with a 6-1 spurt before Hays closed the gap down to five at 25-20.  A Garden City inbound basket put the Buffaloes up at half time 27-20.

Highlights

 

 

Hays opened the second half on an 8-0 run to take a 28-27 lead with 3:50 left in the third quarter.  Garden City didn’t score for almost five minutes in the third quarter but when they did Buffaloes took the lead back at 29-28.  The basket was the first of six straight points and a 33-28 lead for Garden City.  After trailing 35-30 early in the fourth quarter, Hays closed within three at 35-32 and had the basketball but turned it over.

Garden City scored on back to back possessions to put Hays down 39-32 and Hays was never within one possession for the rest of the game.  Garden City made seven of their final eight free throw attempts in the final minute of the game to secure a 50-39 victory.

Coach Rick Keltner

 

Hays falls to 7-7 on the year and 2-2 in the WAC.  Garden City takes the lead in conference play with a 3-1 mark and is 11-4 overall.

Hays will host Great Bend on Tuesday and Liberal on Friday.
