Posted on

Bishop Miege took a quick 5-0 lead on the Hays High Indians Saturday afternoon forcing coach Rick Keltner to take a time out.  Out of the break Hays hit four of six three point attempts to build a 12-7 first quarter lead.  The teams remained tight for the remainder of the quarter and were tied 15 all through eight minutes.

Ethan Nunnery scored the first two points of the second quarter for a 17-15 lead.  But the second quarter proved to be a problem for the Indians for a second consecutive game.  A 14-0 run by the Stags put Hays in a 29-17 deficit before Peyton Kieffer three scored the Indians second and final field goal of the quarter.

Highlights

The Indians were outscored by eleven for a second consecutive quarter, 20-9 in the third.  Hays did find their shooting stroke late in the fourth quarter, but fall 76-48.

Coach Rick Keltner

Girls: TMP 39, Hill City 27

PLAINVILLE, Kan.-A battle of ranked teams proved to be as good as expected as TMP picked up a    win over Hill City in the semi-finals of the Mid Continent League Tournament. The Lady Monarchs scored the first seven points of the contest but Hill City settled in and outscored TMP 6-2 to close the first quarter. The Lady Ringnecks would take a one point lead (15-14) late in the second quarter but TMP would close the first half door with a 5-0 run to lead 19-15 at halftime.

Defense was the name of the game in the second half. TMP held a powerful Hill City offense to only one point in the third quarter and 12 points total in the half. Carrie Kennedy was the only Lady Ringneck in double figures as she scored 11 for Hill City who drops to 7-2 on the season and will face Stockton in the MCL 3rd Place game on Saturday.

Kayla Vitztum scored 20 to lead TMP. The Lady Monarchs improve to 11-1 on the season and will face Smith Center in the championship game Saturday evening in Plainville.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Boys: TMP 65, Plainville 49

PLAINVILLE, Kan.-Friday night’s MCL Tournament semifinals was a game of runs for both teams. Plainville started the game on a 11-3 run and a Joe Hertel time out changed the momentum. Out of the timeout TMP started a 15-0 run that spanned into the second quarter. TMP pushed the lead to 30-17 before the Cardinals finished the half on a 7-0 run to cut the Monarch lead to 30-24 at the half.

TMP would not waiver in the second half as the lead quickly escalated to double digits and it would stay there. The Monarchs led by 12 after three quarters and would lead by as many as 21 points in the fourth quarter before settling for the 65-49 win.

Jared Casey led Plainville with 17 points on the night. The Cardinals fall to 6-4 on the season and will face Oakley in the third place game tomorrow afternoon. TMP was led by David McFarland, Trento Mayo and Michael Lager who all scored 13 points and Creighton Renz added 12. TMP is now 10-2 on the season and will match up with Phillipsburg in the MCL Tournament Championship game on Saturday night.

Hays meets Wichita Heights in semifinals

Posted on

The second quarter was the deciding factor in the Hays High Indians opening round win over Manhattan when they allowed just two points gaining separation by half time.  The second quarter was again the deciding factor for Hays on Friday, but not in the way they would have liked.

Hays led the second ranked team in 5A, Wichita Heights, 17-16 after one quarter.  The Indians buried five first quarter three pointers.  Four of those came from Cole Murphy.  The second quarter was all Heights.  The Falcons outscored the Indians 23-6 on a 8-0 run and a 10-2 run to take a 39-23 halftime lead.

Highlights

 

Heights pushed the lead as high as thirty in third quarter after a 14-0 run.  The Indians closed the gap to twenty-three late in third quarter and had two open looks at three pointers but could not connect.  Hays closed the gap down to 20 when they opened the fourth quarter on a three pointer, but could not get any closer falling 76-51.

Cole Murphy led the Indians with 20 which included six three pointers.  Peyton Kieffer grabbed his second double-double of the season with ten points and eleven rebounds.  Ethan Nunnery assisted on nine made baskets.

Coach Rick Keltner

 

Hays falls to 8-3 on the season and will play in the third place game Saturday at 3:00.  Wichita Heights moves to the championship game at 5:00 and improves to 10-1 on the year.

Hays beats Manhattan to open Dodge TOC

Posted on

Hays allowed just two second quarter points in building at 28-16 lead at halftime over the Manhattan Indians Thursday afternoon at the Dodge City Tournament of Champions.  The two teams traded baskets over the first six minutes of the game leaving Manhattan with a 14-11 lead.  Hays would score in the final seconds of the first quarter when Ethan Nunnery picked up a loose ball and flung a shot up from just in front of half court to tie the game at 14.

That shot started a 10-0 Hays run that gave the Indians in maroon a 21-14 lead.  Manhattan would answer with their only two points of the second quarter to close the game to 21-16.  The Indians scored seven more unanswered points to the end half including a Tradgon McCrae three pointer with time expiring for a 28-16 half time lead.

Highlights

 

Hays hit a three pointer to build their lead to 15 but would not score for the next four minutes allowing Manhattan to close the gap.  A 10-0 run by Manhattan brought the Hays lead down to five before Peyton Kieffer and McCrae combined for five quick points to go up 36-26.  Manhattan scored the next six points to get with in four at 36-32 with 2:05 left in the third quarter.

Hays though would buckle down on defense and allow just 13 points for the rest of the game.  Hays pushed their lead back to nine to start the fourth quarter.  Hays led by as many as 20 in the fourth quarter and never by less than nine with the final buzzer showing Hays with a 63-45 victory.

Coach Rick Keltner

 

Tradgon McCrae scored a game high 17. Peyton Kieffer added 15 and Ethan Nunnery scored 13.  Nunnery led the team with eight rebounds and eight assists just missing out on a second consecutive triple-double.  Hays improves to 8-2 on the season while Manhattan falls to 5-4.

Hays will face the winner of the Wichita Heights and Leavenworth at 2:30 on Friday.
