The first play of the second quarter, Hayden Brown sprinted 20 yards for a touchdown to tie the score. The Indians recovered another fumble on the next Buhler possession, however Hays had to punt once again.
Following a short Buhler punt, Brown scored from 46 yards away on third down to give the Indians their first lead. Palmer Hutchison score from 43 yards on third down to put Hays up 21-7. Late in the second quarter Tavian Creamer intercepted a pass at the end zone and three plays later, Hutchison found freshman Jaren Kanak for a 97 yard score and a 28-7 lead.
Buhler ended the half getting the ball all the way to the Indian one yard line with no time remaining.
Highlights
Palmer Hutchison opened the second half with an interception on defense and then scored one play later from eight yards away from the end zone to give the Indians a commanding 34-7 lead.
Buhler closed gap down to 34-14 but Hays capped off a 70 yard drive on the first play of the fourth quarter when Hayden Brown scored a third rushing touchdown. The extra point put Hays up 41-14. Buhler scored one more time and the game came to a close with Hays taking a 41-21 win.

Following that series, Hutchison picked off a pass near midfield and returned it for a score. The extra point put Hays up 20-0 at halftime.

The Red Demons scored on their first drive of the third quarter then added another score following a Hays fumble on the first play of the Indian’s drive. In less than six minutes, Dodge City cut the lead down to 20-14. The Indians though answered to establish a 19 point lead early in the fourth quarter.
After Hays recovered a blocked punt that hit a Dodge City player past the line of scrimmage, Palmer Hutchison scored from three yards out. On the first play of the fourth quarter Hutchison hit Hayden Brown on a screen play, scoring from 48 yards out and pushing the Hays lead to 33-19.
