Hays Post

COLBY, Kan.-Christin Nunnery’s Hays High Lady Indians continued their mid-season roll with three straight set victories on Monday in Colby. The head coach has switched a few things up with her rotation over the past couple of weeks and it has solidified the 5A Lady Indians.

The opening match against Phillipsburg was dominated early and often as Hays High won 25-7, 25-20 for their second victory over the Lady Panthers in the last three days. Up next the Lady Indians dispatched Western Athletic Conference foe Liberal in straight sets, 25-23 and 25-18. Hays finished the evening sweep by taking care of business against Colby in the nightcap, 25-11 and 25-23.

Hays High has now won nine straight matches and they have not lost a single set during that stretch. With the wins they improve to 18-9 on the season and will host Larned and LaCrosse in a triangular on Thursday.

GREAT BEND, Kan.-Hays High Volleyball didn’t lose a single set, going 5-0 on Saturday in Great Bend. The Lady Indians opened with Hutchinson who gave them a strong match to start the day. Hays fell down early in the first set only to take the lead 6-5 and they didn’t trail again in the set winning 25-19. Set two was much of the same with the Lady Indians taking their first lead at 7-6 and battled back and forth winning 25-23 and the match in straight sets.

The energy continued for they Lady Indians as they dominated St. John in their second match winning in straight sets 25-18, 25-16. Next up was Salina Central who didn’t provide much of a challenge. Hays won the first set 25-10 and had a little more challenge in set two winning 25-17 and wrapping up the victory.

The Lady Panthers from Phillipsburg challenged Hays High next and the Lady Indians responded. Hays blew through the first set winning in convincing fashion, 25-12. The Lady Indians opened up the second set with a 14-5 lead when Phillipsburg countered with the next eight points to get within a point at 14-13. Hays would keep them at arms length the rest of the way winning the set, 25-21, and the match.

The last match of the day was with Western Athletic Conference rival Great Bend and it lived up to the billing of a rivalry. The Lady Panthers raced out to a 15-7 lead in the first set with a little luck and some favorable calls. Hays High would answer with a massive push that put the Lady Indians in front 23-18. Great Bend would counter with the next five points to tie the set at 23 points apiece. The two teams would trade blows with Hays coming out on top 29-27. The Lady Indians controlled much of the second set but it remained close with Hays winning 25-22 to sweep the sets and take the match.

Hayden Brown’s six touchdowns leads Hays to victory

Hays High played the first of three consecutive home games as they hosted Wichita South on Friday night.  The Titans entered the game with one of the most successful starts to a season in over a decade with a 3-1 record.

At one point in the first half Hayden Brown scored on four consecutive touches of the football.  After Brown gave the Indians a 6-0 lead on a fourth down rush of two yards, Wichita South tied the game with a five play 80 yard drive.  Tavian Creamer blocked the extra point to leave the game tied at six.  Brown’s next three touches of the ball all resulted in a score.  A 77 yard kick return, 42 yard run and five yard run pushed the Hays lead to 27-6 early in the second quarter.

South did break off a 56 yard run for a score closing the gap down to 27-12 but Brown scored his fifth first half touchdown and then following a Willie Sennett interception, freshman Roy Maroni scored his first career rushing touchdown to give Hays a 40-12 halftime lead.

The 40 first half points was more than the Indians had scored over the first halves of the first four games combined.

Highlights

Wichita South never threatened in the second half.  Hays pushed the lead up to 53-12 after a sixth touchdown from Brown and then a 63 yard screen play from Palmer Hutchison to Roy Maroni.  The Titans scored a 17 yard touchdown on fourth and two in the fourth quarter to close the gap down to 53-20.

Coach Tony Crough

Hays moves to 2-3 on the season behind a season high 431 yards of offense.  Wichita South falls to 3-2.

WAMEGO, Kan.-Christin Nunnery knew her team needed to find a way to dig deep and win some tough matches. They needed to play through some adversity. The Hays High Lady Indian Volleyball team did just that as they went 4-2 and finished third on Saturday at the Wamego Tournament.

Next up was Mission Valley which turned into a straight set win (27-25, 25-17). In the last match of pool play the Lady Indians needed a win over Holton to guarantee a spot in the championship bracket and they did just that dispatching the Lady Wildcats in three sets (25-21, 23-25, 25-22). Hays trailed 22-18 in the third set but flipped the script and scored the last seven points to secure the victory.

The Lady Indians opened up championship bracket play against Circle High School. Hays looked like they had endured a long day of volleyball as they fell (20-25, 15-25). The loss sent Hays High to the third place match against the powerful Nemaha Central Thunder. The Lady Indians summoned their inner strength and competitive drive and dominated the Thunder winning in two sets (25-20, 25-18) to take third place.

Hays put up some impressive stats on the day. Senior Hannah McGuire led the team in assists each match and finished with 98 assists for the day. Tasiah Nunnery led the team in kills each match and finished with 73 of them. Kallie Leiker, Brooklyn Schaffer and McGuire paced they team in digs throughout the day while Jaycee Dale and Jaysa Wichers were dominant at the net throughout the tournamen.

With the 4-2 finish the Lady Indians improve to 8-8 on the season. They will play their first home matches of the season on Thursday as they host a quadrangular with Salina South, Abilene and Norton.
