ULYSSES, Kan.-The Hays High Lady Indians saw their season come to an end on Saturday afternoon in Ulysses. HHS faced off against Ulysses in the 4A-Division 1 Sub-State semi-finals. Ulysses controlled much of the first set winning 25-18 in front of a large home court crowd.

The Lady Tigers scored the first four points of the second set and looked to be in complete control of the match. That is when Hays woke up. The Lady Indians would score the next eight points to take an 8-4 advantage. They would not trail again in the set as they led by as many as eight points and won 25-16.

Ulysses jumped out early in the second set, 3-0, before Hays High settled in. The Lady Indians pulled out to a 13-11 advantage and looked like they might be moving on to the championship match. Ulysses had other ideas as they scored the next four points to take a 15-13 lead and would not trail again, winning the set 25-20 and the match 2-1.

Hannah McGuire led Hays with 16 assists, Tasiah Nunnery 14 kills, Kallie Leiker 25 digs and Jaysa Wichers along with Jaycee Dale had four blocks each. The Lady Indians finish the season at 25-9 and will return their entire varsity roster next year.

TMP 46, Russell 6

HAYS, Kan.-TMP picked up their first home win since 2012 and kept their 2017 playoff hopes alive by beating the Russell Broncos 46-6 at Lewis Field Stadium on Friday night. It was the first win at home for TMP since October 12, 2012 when they also defeated Russell.

It all started midway through the first quarter when David McFarland found Gavin Schumacher on a 95 yard touchdown pass. On the ensuing kickoff the Monarchs would recover the pooch kick and two plays later Schumacher would score for a second time on a 20 yard run to put TMP up 13-0. Creighton Renz would score the third touchdown of the half from 51 yards out on a pass from McFarland with 7:54 left in the first half to give TMP a 20-0 lead at the half.

The second half was much of the same way as TMP dominated from the opening kickoff of the second half. Schumacher scored his third touchdown of the game when he recovered a blocked punt in the end zone less then two minutes into the half. The Monarchs would tack on two more scores in the third quarter on touchdown catches by Tate Garcia and Luke Ruder. Renz hauled in his second touchdown catch of the game early in the fourth quarter to cap the scoring for TMP. Russell would score their only points of the game on a four yard run from Isaac Guzman as time expired.

Russell drops to 4-4 on the year and 0-2 in 3A-District 14 play. TMP improves to 3-5 and 1-1 in district. The Monarchs will travel to Norton on Thursday night to battle for the right to move on in the playoffs.

Hays used a pair of touchdown runs from Hayden Brown to take a 15-0 lead to the locker room. The Indian’s sophomore scored his first career rushing touchdown on a 51 yard scamper on third down.

It didn’t take long for Phillpsburg to score as the Panthers were on the board three minutes in to take a 6-0 lead.
