Hays Post

Girls: TMP 68, Plainville 38
Boys: TMP 57, Plainville 55

HAYS, Kan-With a Mid Continent League regular season title on the line the TMP Lady Monarchs came out ready to play on Tuesday night in Hays. The Plainville Lady Cardinals came ready to play as well as they played TMP even for the first five minutes before TMP started to pull away to a 22-11 lead after the first quarter.

After a slow start offensively for both teams in the second quarter TMP started to hit shots and bolster their lead. Madyson Koerner and Kayla Vitztum combined for 23 first half points for the Lady Monarchs who held a 41-21 lead at the break. Maeson Dewey led Plainville with 8 points at the half.

TMP pushed their lead to 27 points in the third quarter and had a running clock most of the fourth quarter and picked up a 68-38 win. TMP improves their record to 18-1 on season and 9-0 in the MCL. The win secured the 3rd straight regular season MCL Title for the Lady Monarchs.

Vitztum led TMP with 16 points and Koerner added 15 for TMP who will finish their regular season on Thursday at home against Hutchinson-Trinity. Plainville was led by Dewey with 13 points. The Lady Cardinals are off until next Tuesday when they will open up sub-state play.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

It took TMP nearly six minutes in the first quarter to get their first field goal as they played from behind the entire first half in their MCL tilt with Plainville on Tuesday night at Al Billinger Fieldhouse. TMP trailed 15-12 after the first quarter and 31-25 after the break. The Monarchs were in foul trouble the entire first half and were forced to play with some creative lineups throughout the half.

Plainville scored the first bucket of the second to take an eight point lead after a Hayden Friend bucket and that’s when TMP started to get some offense going as they would score the next 10 points to take their first lead of the game at 35-33. The battle was intense from there as TMP led 41-40 after three quarters.

The fourth quarter was back and forth with both teams holding leads at some point. Late in the quarter Plainville held a 52-49 lead when Luke Ruder hit a key three pointer from the corner to tie the game. TMP would take a 54-52 lead on a long two pointer from David McFarland and would not trail again. The Monarchs led by two late and Friend missed a three pointer at the buzzer and TMP came out on top with the 57-55 victory.

With the win TMP claims their third straight MCL regular season title as they finish league play at 8-1 and run their overall record to 11-8. Plainville drops to 13-7 and 6-3 in league. The Cardinals are off until the start of sub-state play next Monday. TMP will play their final regular season game on Thursday at home against Hutchinson-Trinity.

Hays sweeps Garden City for a third time

Posted on February 17, 2017February 17, 2017

Dustin Armbruster

Hays traveled to Garden City on Friday night to resume Western Athletic Conference play with the Buffaloes. It was the third match-up of the season between the two teams. Both the Hays girls and boys teams had previously beaten Garden City in the first game of the season at the Hays City Shootout and in their Western Athletic Conference showdown in Hays during the month January.

Girls
Hays 51 – Garden City 42

Hays used a 12-0 first quarter run to grab control of the game, getting seven of those points from Tasaiah Nunnery. That run allowed Hays to push their lead up to 18-7 with a minute to go in the first quarter. Hays lead by nine after the first quarter and more than midway through the second quarter when Garden City made three straight baskets to pull within one at 24-23. Hays answered with six straight points building a seven point lead. Garden City scored just before half time leaving the Indian lead at 30-25.

Highlights

Hays never let their lead slip below four points in the second half. Hays had the ball up by seven in the third quarter, but turned it over on four straight possessions. The Indians defense though held allowing Hays to push their lead back to nine right before Garden City beat the buzzer with a basket at 41-33. Hays built their lead to a game high 12 before Garden scored six straight points with two minutes left in the game. Hays made four of their final eight free throws and one field goal to keep Garden City behind them, winning 51-42.

Coach Kirk Maska

Savannah Schneider led the Indians in scoring with a game high 12. Mattie Hutchison added 10 and came within a rebound of a double-double. The Indians had six players score five more points in the game. Hays improves to 10-8 on the season, breaking a four game losing streak, and are now 3-3 in the WAC. Garden City is now 5-14 and 1-6.

Boys
Hays 63 – Garden City 57

Hays trailed just once in the first quarter after taking a 14-9 lead on a Peyton Kieffer three pointer, Garden City scored the games next six points to lead 15-14. Tyrese Hill scored the final four points of the first quarter to give the Indians a 18-15 lead. Garden city again scored six consecutive points in the second quarter to retake the lead at 23-21. The Indians responded with a 8-2 run to close out the first half on a pair of Shane Berens field goals and the second three pointer of the quarter from Claiborne Kyles. Hays took a 29-25 lead into the locker room at half time.

Highlights

The Indians opened the second half with a 15-4 run jumped started by back to back three pointers in the first fifty seconds of the quarter. Hays built their lead to 12 after three quarter at 44-32. The Indian lead surged to 20 at 57-37 with 4:10 remaining in the game. Garden City caught fire in the final three minutes hitting five three pointers and making eight of eleven shots to pull the final score back to single digits in the end at 63-57 in favor of Hays High.

Coach Rick Keltner

Four Indians scored in double figures, led by the 17 of Shane Berens. Claiborne Kyles scored 13, Tyrese Hill and Cole Murphy each scored 10. Hays shot 57% in the game and made ten three pointers. Garden City shot 48% from the field and put three in double figures, led by the 16 of Garret Doll, 14 of which came in the fourth quarter. Hays improves to 11-6 and 4-2 in the WAC. Garden City drops to 9-10 and 5-2 in conference play.

The Hays High boys will be in Colby Saturday for a make-up game. The girls are off until Tuesday.

TMP wins in Stockton

Posted on February 17, 2017

Hays Post

Girls: TMP 54, Stockton 48
Boys: TMP 80, Stockton 68

STOCKTON, Kan-The Stockton Lady Tigers came out with some fire in their veins on Friday night in Stockton. After losing by 24 points to TMP in the Mid Continent League Tournament Championship game on January 21st the Lady Tigers wanted a better showing on Friday. The Lady Tigers led through most of the first quarter and led 9-8 after the first quarter.

TMP was able to grab the lead in the second quarter but not by much. The Lady Monarchs largest lead was only three points and held a 19-18 lead at halftime. TMP uncharacteristically turned the ball over eight times in the first half. Most of that due to good Stockton pressure.

The Lady Monarchs got their shot going from three point range in the second half. After going 1 for 10 from distance in the first half the Lady Monarchs hit 4 of 6 in the third quarter to extend their lead to 39-33 going to the fourth quarter. Madyson Koerner scored 10 third quarter points to pace TMP.

The fourth quarter was a battle between two state ranked teams. Stockton cut the TMP to five a couple of times but the Lady Monarchs were able to prevail 54-48. Haven Hamilton led the for Stockton with 17 points. The Lady Tigers fall to 16-3 overall and 6-2 in the MCL and will close their season on the road at Phillipsburg on Tuesday. Koerner scored 27 points to lead TMP. The Lady Monarchs improve to 17-1 on the season and 8-0 in the MCL and will host Plainville on Tuesday.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Offense was not lacking in the first quarter as the TMP and Stockton boys squared off in a heated MCL matchup. TMP outlasted Stockton in the first quarter taking a 23-22 lead after one. The hot shooting continued in the second quarter by both teams. The Monarchs would lead by as many as 7 points by Stockton’s Kyle Hull banked in a three pointer with a second remaining in the half to cut the TMP lead to 40-36 at the half.

In the third quarter TMP took an early six point lead that wouldn’t last long as Stockton would climb back to a 44-44 tie midway through the third. TMP would not bend much as the Monarchs regained the lead, 54-51, heading to the fourth quarter. The Tigers would close the TMP lead to one point a couple of times in the fourth quarter but TMP outscored them 20-9 down the stretch to pick up the 80-68 win.

Stockton drops to 9-10 on the season while TMP improves to 10-8. The Tigers will finish their regular season at Phillipsburg on Tuesday while TMP will host Plainville.
