Hays Post

The TMP-Marian boys and girls basketball teams picked up a pair of key Mid-Continent League wins over Norton Friday night at Al Billinger Fieldhouse.

Girls: TMP 37, Norton 34

First place in the MCL was on the line in the first game of the night and after a slow start the Lady Monarchs rallied for a three-point win over the third ranked Lady Jays thanks to a big second half from senior Emily Schippers.

Coach McFarland postgame interview

The first half was a defensive slugfest that saw the Lady Jays go on an 8-2 first quarter run to take a six-point lead after one. In the second quarter the Monarchs held Norton to just one field goal in the second quarter in a 6-2 run to cut the halftime score to 14-12 in favor of the Lady Jays.

Norton opened the second half leading 17-14 but TMP’s Emily Schippers scored the next 11 points for the Monarchs to give them a 25-20 lead with 6:25 left in the game. It was a lead they would never give up on their way to the 37-34 win.

Schippers led the Monarchs with 13. Norton’s Taryn Kuhn led two Lady Jays in double-figures with 14. Hadley Hauser finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Game highlights

With the win the Monarchs take over sole of first place in the MCL at 6-0. They also improved to 11-4 overall.

Norton is 13-2 and 5-1 in the MCL.

Boys: TMP 55, Norton 42

The TMP boys made nine three’s in the first half and had four score in double-figures as they put an end to their season-long three-game losing streak with a 55-42 win over the Blue Jays.

Bill Meagher interview

The Monarchs built an early eight-point lead late in the first quarter thanks to Lucas Lang’s third three-pointer of the first quarter.

Lang scored all 13 of his points in the first-half as he was inserted into the starting lineup for the first time in nearly a month.

Norton was able to close the gap to six in the second quarter but got no closer the rest of the way as the Monarchs pick up the 55-42 victory.

Game highlights

Ryan Karlin lead the Monarchs with 14, Lang had 13 and Jackson Schulte finished with 11.

Norton’s Carter Jones finished with a team-high 13.

TMP improved to 9-7 on the season and 4-2 in the MCL.

Norton drops to 7-9 and 2-4 in the MCL.

Hays sweeps Dodge City at home

Posted on

Hays High opened a four game home stand on Friday against Dodge City.  Through the next eight days, Hays will play all of the home Western Athletic Conference games on their schedule.  The original schedule was altered following a snow out in January versus Garden City.

Girls

#10 Hays 41 – Dodge City 37

Neither team grasped a firm hold on the offensive game plan in the first half of play.  The two teams tied three different times over the first six minutes of the game for an 8-8 score.  Dodge City ran off seven straight points into the second quarter to lead 15-8.  Hays went without a field goal for 9:10 and without a point for 7:00 during that stretch.  Hays found a little traction in final minute scoring a pair of field goals and closing the gap down to 15-14 at halftime.

Highlights

 

Things didn’t get much better in the third quarter for either team.  Dodge City pushed held their advantage around five points for most of the quarter and led 28-23 heading to the fourth.  Down 32-26 three minutes into the fourth quarter the Hays offense finally came to life.  Hays made just 7 of their first 38 shots before making four in a row and five of their final six.  The first of the field goals brought the Indians within a point and the second gave Hays their first lead at 33-32 with 3:25 left.  Those baskets were part of a 12-0 Hays run that gave the Indians a 38-32 lead.  Dodge City pulled back within three with 23 second remaining but the Indians make three of their final four free throws for a 41-37 win.

Coach Alex Hutchins

 

Hays was led by 11 points from Savannah Schneider and move to 9-4 on the year and 2-1 in the WAC.  Dodge City falls to 6-8 and 2-1.

Boys

Hays 75 – Dodge City 63

An 11-0 run in the first quarter helped Hays build a seven point lead, 17-10.  The Indians led 19-15 going into the second quarter but the momentum was on the side of Dodge City who was in the midst of a 12-3 run.  That push allowed Dodge City to take a 22-20 lead with 5:20 left in the first half.  Fifteen short second later Hays answered back with a three pointer to regain the lead only to lose it at 29-28 with 2:50 left in the half.  The Indians held the Red Demons scoreless for the rest of the second quarter and entered the halftime locker room leading 37-29 following a 9-0 run.

Highlights

 

Hays pushed their advantage up to 12 with the first four points of the second half.  Dodge City brought the game back within reach thanks to a 10-2 run and then a 8-2 run to close the third quarter with the Indians leading 54-52.  TJ Nunnery hit a three pointer to open the fourth quarter and give the Indians some breathing room.  The Red Demons were never closer that three points rest of the way, but didn’t make things easy.  After a 9-2 run helped the Indians to a nine point lead with 5:30 left.  The Red Demons pulled back within six one time but Hays got a dunk and lay up from Trey Adams and then six straight free throws to win 75-63.

Coach Rick Keltner

 

TJ Nunnery tied his career high with 16 and was matched by 16 from Tradgon McCrae.  Trey Adams and Braiden Meyers each scored 10 in the victory.  The Indians improve to 7-6 on the year and 2-1 in conference play.  Dodge City falls to 7-7 and 1-2.

The Indians will host Garden City on Saturday in a makeup game from January.  The junior varsity games will start at 3:00 with the varsity girls at 5:00.

Wichers signs with Coffeyville CC

Posted on

Every high school athlete with collegiate aspirations wants the opportunity to not only play but also win.  Hays High senior Jaysa Wichers has that opportunity after signing a National Letter of Intent with Coffeyville Community College to play volleyball.

The Indian’s once middle hitter now right side hitter finalized her decision in front of friends, teammates and family Thursday in the school cafeteria.

Jaysa Wichers

 

Wichers knew the moment she met the Red Ravens head coach the program would be a fit for her.  Coffeyville has won the last two volleyball national championships and wrapped up the 2018 season at 40-3.

Hays coach Christin Nunnery calls Wichers a coach’s dream.  Nunnery not only is impressed by the senior’s work ethic but also her willingness to cheer on the successes of all her teammates.

Christin Nunnery

 

Wichers and the Hays High Indians went 20-10 this past high school season.  She also had the opportunity to play in the Northwest Kansas All-Star Match following her senior season.

Hays falls to Salina South in a pair of overtime games

Posted on

Girls

Salina South 54 – #10 Hays 49 OT

The first quarter featured four ties and five lead changes between Hays and South on Tuesday night.  The tight first quarter saw both teams make four of their first five shot attempts.  Hays took a 16-14 lead to the second quarter but that too would be short lived.  South opened the quarter on a 11-2 run to take a 25-18 lead.  The Indians scored just two points in the first 6:10 of the second quarter but rallied to score seven points in a row to tie the game at 25-25 at halftime.

Highlights

 

The Indians run continued into the third quarter totaling 13-0 and a 31-25 lead with 4:45 left in the quarter.  The six point lead would prove to be the biggest lead for Hays.  South answered back with four straight points and closed gap down to 36-33 after three quarter.  Hays took a 42-39 lead before South hit just their second three pointer of the game to tie things back up.  The Indians again took the lead at 44-42 with 2:10 left in regulation.  The Cougars tied the game with :45 left giving Hays a chance to win.  The Indians missed three shots and turned the ball over once in the final seconds to send the game to overtime.

Coach Alex Hutchins

 

The lead swapped hands again in overtime. Hays led just once at 46-45 and South took the lead for good with 2:38 left at 47-46.  South made 6 of 9 overtime free throws to hold off Hays 54-49.  The Indians trailed by seven at 53-46 and made a three to get within four then forced a turnover but missed the ensuing field goal attempt.

Hays turned the ball over 23 times and made just one of seven free throw attempts.  Jaycee Dale scored 12, Savannah Schneider added 11 and Brooke Denning put in 10 off the bench.  Hays falls to 8-4 while South improves 4-8.

Boys

Salina South 64 – Hays 62 OT

Like the girls’ game before it, the boys’ game ended with a 16-14 score favoring Hays over the Cougars.  The teams were tied three times and traded the lead three times before settling the first eight minutes.  Hays never relinquished the lead in the second quarter building a 25-21 lead by halftime.  Hays led by as many as six in the quarter but could never pull away.

Highlights

 

South used an 8-0 run to take a 31-28 lead over the first three minutes of the third quarter.  Hays responded with their best stretch of basketball over the next eight plus minutes.  The Indians went on a 18-0 run to build a 46-31 lead with 5:07 left in the game.  Hays held South without a point for 8:23 and without a field goal for 9:02.  Once the Cougars broke the drought they were hot.  A 19-1 run over 4:30 pushed South back to a 50-47 edge.  Hays managed to tie the game with eighteen seconds left and avoided a pair of shots from the Cougars sending the game to overtime.

Coach Rick Keltner

 

Each team hit a three pointer to open up the extra game time and tie at 55.  South grabbed the lead for good at 57-55 and expanded their advantage to seven points at 64-57.  South made just one of nine free throws in the overtime to leave the door open but the Indians made just four of twelve field goals and fall 64-62.

Tradgon McCrae scored 35, one point shy of his career high as the Indians fall to 6-6.  Salina South is now 6-7.

The Indians return home on Friday and Saturday to take on Dodge City and Garden City.
