Rawlins County and Oakley Advance in Ellis Sub-State

After Thursday night’s girls semifinal games, at the class 2A girls sub-state, Saturday’s championship game will feature two Northwest Kansas League teams.

In the first game of the evening the Rawlins County Buffaloes would prove to be too much for the Trego Golden Eagles. Rawlins County scored the first five points of the game and led 10-4 early behind four from Hillary Chavatal and three from Summer Castens. Trego trailed 12-8 after the first quarter.

The Golden Eagles opened the scoring in the second quarter and tied the game at 12. Trego’s Haley Dietz scored four of her 12 points in the second quarter but Rawlins Country used a 7-0 run to take a 19-12 lead and the led by seven, 21-14, at half.

It was much of the same coming out of the halftime break. Rawlins Country built their largest lead of the game at 32-20 in the third quarter but Trego put together a strong 7-0 run led by Hannah Dietz who scored eight of her team-high 20 and Rawlins County led 39-27 after three. Trego cut the deficit to 41-39 to begin the fourth quarter but they would get no closer and Rawlins Country advanced to the sub-state Championship game with a 52-46 win.

Rawlins County’s Hilary Chavatal and Trego’s Hannah Dietz tied for a game-high 20 points. Keshia Green, who had not scored all season for Rawlins County added 10 and Summer Castens had nine. Trego’s Haley Dietz added 12 points. Rawlins County improved to 16-6 on the season and will play Oakley in the Sub-state Championship game while Trego’s season ended at 14-8.

The second game of the night was just as close with the Oakley lady Plainsmen earning the victory over the Hill City Ringnecks. Oakley quickly jumped out to an 8-3 lead to begin the game behind Carrie Pilkington who had four first quarter points. Hill City answered right back with a 6-0 run spurred on by eight first quarter points from Kelsey Keith as Hill City took an 11-8 lead. Oakley led 12-11 after one.

In the second quarter Hill City kept firing on all cylinders and built a 21-17 lead. Keith added six more points, Haley Dinkel scored four points and Shelby Stewart knocked in a three all in the second quarter to give Trego a 28-19 lead at halftime. Oakley though would jump out of the gate in the third quarter and own the second half.

Kenzie Weiser hit a three to start the third quarter and cut the lead to 28-22. Brooke Hemmert and Carrie Pilkington added four more points to tie the game at 34 and then as the quarter came to an end Laura Dennis drained a three at the top of the key to give Oakley a 37-34 lead. The fourth quarter would belong to Oakley, outscoring Hill City 13-3 in the final period to earn the 51-40 win.

Oakley’s Brooke Hemmert lead all scorers with 15 points, Carrie Pilkington added 12 and Laura Dennis finished with 11. Kelsey Keith scored all 14 of her points in the first half and led Hill City in scoring. Haley Dinkel was the only other Ringneck in double figures with 12.

TMP Boys’ Basketball Season Ends with a Loss to Hoisington

The Monarch boys’ basketball team saw their season come to a close Thursday night after losing to Hoisington 63-48 in the Lyons Class 3A Sub-State Semifinals.

Hoisington (18-4) picked up the 3-0 sweep over Thomas More Prep – Marian this year defeating the Monarchs twice in the regular season on their way to getting the conference championship. TMP, who finished their season at 12-10, has yet to beat Hoisington since joining the Mid-Central Activities Association going 0-5 against the Cardinals in the last two years.

TMP had an electric start to the ballgame as Hoisington’s main two players, Cody Stetler and Derrick Kaiser, got in foul trouble in the first half. The Monarchs led by as many as eight in the second quarter and held a 29-24 lead at halftime.

TMP scored the first bucket of the second half to take a seven-point lead but then back-to-back 3-pointers by Kaiser made it a 31-30 contest just like that.

The Cardinals, the #1 seed in the Lyons Sub-State, would eventually tie the game up at 35 apiece midway through the third quarter and then go on a 12-1 run to take control of the game.

TMP was led in scoring by Jacob Fouts who ended with 11 points. The Herd did a good job defensively on the 6’8″ Stetler holding him to only six points while battling foul trouble, but the Cardinals had others step up to help their cause. Kaiser finished with 16 points while Trent Schremmer added 15.

TMP completed the year with one extra win than they had last season and also earned their first postseason victory since 2009. The Monarchs will lose eight seniors for next year.
