By JEREMY McGUIRE
Hays Post

Great Bend 5, Hays High 2

GREAT BEND, Kan.-Great Bend scored the first goal of Monday’s match with Hays High and would never trail in their 5-2 win over the Indians. The Panther’s goal came in the second minute of the contest. Great Bend would strike again in the 18th minute to take a 2-0 lead. Hays High would answer with a goal from Ethan Nunnery less then two minutes later to tighten the Great Bend lead at 2-1. That would be the score at the half.

The Panthers extended their lead to 3-1 in the 50th minute but Hays High answered in the 54th minute on a header from Connor Teget to close the Great Bend lead to one goal. That would be as close as the game would get as Great Bend scored the last two goals of the match to pick up the 5-2 victory.

The loss snapps the Indians’ four match win streak. Hays High (4-2) will host Western Athletic Conference rival Dodge City on Thursday afternoon at Hays High School.
