Hays High’s Courtney Molleker signs to play soccer with hometown Tigers

Dustin Armbruster

Courtney Molleker started chasing a dream in the game of soccer at a young age. The dream became focused on Fort Hays State University after the school started their women’s soccer program six years ago. Tuesday, Molleker signed her National Letter of Intent to play for the Tigers. The Hays High senior plays soccer nearly year round including clubs out of Wichita.

It will be a year of change for Molleker as both Hays High and Fort Hays State have new coaches. Silas Hibbs takes over the girls and boys soccer teams with his first season this spring for the girls. Fort Hays State recently named Blake Reynolds the second coach in the program’s short history. The Tigers reached the Central Regional Final this past season and won the MIAA Regular Season Championship.

New Hays High coach Silas Hibbs plans on leaning on a veteran leader like Courtney to help build leadership in the program from the very top.

Former coach Jim Maska has seen Molleker play soccer since she began with the Hays Soccer Club and from the very beginning saw the hard work and skill that sat her apart from the rest.

The Hays High girl soccer season will begin with a home match on March 16th versus Life Prep out of Wichita. Molleker says she is glad the decision of where to go to school and play soccer is done before the season begins.

TMP girls cruise, boys win in thriller

By JEREMY McGUIRE
Hays Post

Girls: TMP 64, Phillipsburg 25
Boys: TMP 62, Phillipsburg 60

HAYS, Kan-TMP rolled to another victory, their 13th straight, on Friday night at Al Billinger Fieldhouse with a    win over the Phillipsburg Lady Panthers.  TMP went on a 14-0 run early to take control and finished the first quarter up 24-4.  The second quarter was slowed by turnovers on both sides but TMP prevailed in the second quarter as well and went to the half with a 36-8 lead.  The Lady Monarchs forced 19 Phillipsburg turnovers in the first half.

TMP continued to pour it on in the second half, expanding their lead to 56-23 after the third quarter.  A continuous fourth quarter clock ended the game pretty quickly.  Phillipsburg dropped their 13th in a row and fall to 1-15 on the season.  TMP has now won 13 straight and improve to 15-1 and will travel to Great Bend on Tuesday.

ROSE MCFARLAND INTERVIEW

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

In the boys game the two teams traded first quarter runs.  It was a 7-0 run by TMP early that put the Monarchs up 7-5.  Phillipsburg finished the quarter on a 7-0 run to take a 16-11 lead after the first quarter.

The Panthers extended their lead to eight points, 25-17, early in the second quarter.  TMP answered with a 12-2 run to take their only lead of the second quarter.  Phillipsburg scored the final four points of the first half to take a 31-29 lead going into the break.

The two teams tangled in the third quarter but neither team could pull away.  Phillipsburg led 40-36 late in the third but TMP would rally behind their second team.  Michael Lager would get a put back off of a Jared Mayers miss to tie the game at 40 heading to the deciding fourth quarter.

The final period had a little bit of everything.  TMP built a double digit lead twice only to see the Panthers go on a 12-0 spurt to lead 60-59 with under a minute to play.  The two teams traded some empty possessions and the ball would be in TMP’s hands with just over 20 seconds to go.  The Monarchs ran their offensive set just looking for an open shot and it happened to come from the hot hand of David McFarland who buried a left wing three pointer with 4.2 seconds left to go.  Phillipsburg set up a play during a couple of late timeouts but were not able to get a shot up as Creighton Renz deflected the ball from Phillipsburg’s Trey Thompson to seal the win for TMP.

Trey sides led the Panthers with 22 points, 14 of those in the fourth quarter.  McFarland led TMP with 19 points and 15 coming in the fourth.  Phillipsburg drops to 14-3 overall and 6-2 in the Mid Continent League.  TMP improves to 9-7 and 6-1 in league play.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

 

Hays swept by Liberal in a pair of close games

Dustin Armbruster

In the second of back-to-back Thursday and Friday games, the Hays High Indians hosted Liberal for winter homecoming. It was a pivotal game for both schools in the Western Athletic Conference race as the Hays and Liberal boys entered the night in a three way tie for first with Garden City. The Hays girls started the night one game behind Liberal and two behind Great Bend. The Liberal boys entered the game #4 in 5A and Hays High boys #8 in 4A-I.

Girls
Hays 38 – Liberal 42

Hays and Liberal swapped the lead three times in the first quarter and were tied once as Liberal took a 15-12 lead. Hays closed the gap to one point on two different occasions in the second quarter but could not score to take the lead on seven different possessions. The Indians defense though held and tied the game at 18 a piece with two minutes to go before half. Hays though again couldn’t grab the lead over the final two minutes and Liberal hit a three pointer to take a 21-18 lead into the locker room

Highlights

Hays tied the game at 21 to open the third quarter on a Talyn Kleweno three pointer. Liberal responded back with a 9-3 run to build their biggest lead at six on two different occasions including the end of the third quarter at 33-27. Hays fell behind by seven in the fourth quarter at 36-29. That is when Hays caught fire beyond arc with three consecutive three pointers, two of them from Brooke Denning and the go ahead shot from Kleweno. The three straight made baskets put Hays up 38-36 with 3:50 remaining in the game. Hays would not score again. Liberal scored just six points in the final five minutes but it was enough for a 42-38 victory.

Coach Kirk Maska

Talyn Kleweno scored 12 to lead the Indians. Liberal got a season high 19 from Ali Lucero who averages six points per game. The Indians fall to 9-7 and have dropped three in a row. Hays also drops to 2-3 in conference play. Liberal improves to 12-4 and 4-1 in the Western Athletic Conference.

Boys
Hays 42 – Liberal 43

Neither Hays or Liberal could gain any real separation in the first quarter. The Indians used an 8-2 run, taking a lead at 10-6. Hays still led at the end of the first quarter at 13-12 but Liberal closed the quarter on 6-3 spurt that turned into a 20-5 run lasting five minutes into the second quarter. Hays did not hit a field goal in the second quarter and were outscored 14-4, with the Indians points come from the free throw line. Liberal built their lead as high as eleven and led 26-17 at half time.

Highlights

Liberal twice more took an eleven point lead before Hays took off on a 12-3 run getting themselves back within two. Hays missed two free throws to tie the game and Liberal made two of their own to take 35-31 lead to the fourth quarter. Hays fell behind by five before scoring five straight on baskets from Tyrese Hill and Claiborne Kyles. Liberal broke the 39 all tie with a basket just over a minute later going up 41-39. Hays had several opportunities to tie, but missed a pair of free throws and a field goal in the final 10 seconds following an intentional foul called against Liberal. The Redskins buried a pair of free throws with one second remaining and Hays nailed three a the buzzer for the 43-42 victory in favor of Liberal.

Coach Rick Keltner

Hays was led by a game high 16 points from Claiborne Kyles, as the Indians fall to 10-5 and 3-2 in the Western Athletic Conference. Liberal put two in double figures and improves to 14-2 overall and 4-1 in conference play.

Hays heads on the road Tuesday to play in Abilene.

Hays girls fall to hot shooting Fire

Dustin Armbruster

The Hays High Lady Indians traveled to Wichita on Friday to take on the Life Prep Academy Fire. It was a unique setting for the game. The contest was played at Wichita Hoops in Bel Aire. The court Hays played on was less than a year old, with the first half of the facility being completed two years ago.

Life Prep scored the first nine points of the game as Hays turned it over on three of their first five possessions. The Indians put in the next six points to get back within 9-6. That was as close as Hays would get all night. The Fire closed the quarter on a 9-2 run to lead 18-10. Hays trailed 21-14 when Life Prep went on a 27-9 run over the final 6:40 of the half to lead 48-23.

Highlights

The Indians never threatened in the second half as the closest they would get was 24 at 51-27. Life Prep shot 48% from the field and win 78-43. Regan Tibbits led the night with 27 points and 10 rebounds. Hays High had three players score six points for a team high.

Coach Kirk Maska

Hays drops to 9-5 on the season, stopping a three game win streak. Life Prep Academy is now 13-6.
Both the girls and boys return to action on Thursday and Friday as they travel to Salina to play the Central Mustangs and then return home to host Liberal.

TMP sweeps Norton

By JEREMY McGUIRE
Hays Post

Girls: TMP 62, Norton 38
Boys: TMP 55, Norton 49

HAYS, Kan-TMP and Norton traded first quarter runs in what turned out to be an entertaining first half of play at Al Billinger Fieldhouse in Hays.  TMP started the game on a 5-0 run and Norton answered with an 8-2 march.  The Lady Monarchs would take a 9-8 lead after the first quarter.

Norton opened the second quarter with a bucket and it happened to be their last lead of the game.  TMP would extend the lead to five a couple of times and that included their 22-17 halftime lead.  The Lady Monarchs struggled on offense in the first half with 10 turnovers.

TMP turned their offense up a notch in the second half and quickly pulled away in the third quarter with an 11-0 run that put the game away.  The Lady Monarchs would extend their lead to as many as 26 points in the fourth quarter and picked up the 62-38 victory.

Baylee Miller paced Norton with 13 points and Taryn Kuhn added 11 for the Lady Jays who dropped to 9-6 on the season and 4-2 in the Mid Continent League.  Madyson Koerner led TMP with 20, all of them in the second half. The Lady Monarchs improved to 14-1 and 6-0 in the MCL.  They are off until next Friday when they face Phillipsburg.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

A game that has turned into a rather intense rivalry ensued when the TMP and Norton boys took the floor.  Norton led 9-3 early but TMP was not to be intimidated on their home floor.  The Monarchs went on a 20-3 run spanning into the second quarter.

The Bluejays were able to stem the tide and the two teams settled into a solid second quarter.  Norton cut the Monarch lead to 7 at 25-18 but the TMP finished the quarter with a 6-3 push to lead 31-21 at halftime. Michael Lager led TMP with 10 points at the break.  Tyus Henson led Norton with 12 while leading scorer Landon Porter was limited to only three made free throws in the the first 16 minutes.

Norton came out in the third quarter with determination behind Porter who scored 7 points in the first two minutes. The Bluejay’s flurry cut the Monarch’ lead to 34-30 but TMP would have an answer as Lager and Kaleb Hagens would hit back to back buckets to extend the lead back to 8 points. The Monarchs led 42-34 going to the final period.

The fourth quarter was full of ups, downs and runs for both teams. TMP used an 8-0 run to take their largest lead, 54-41. Norton would immediately answer with an 8-0 run of their own to close the gap to 54-49 late in the game. Both teams would have a couple of empty possessions as TMP pulled out the 55-49 upset over the #3 ranked (3A) team in the state.

Porter led Norton with 24 points and Henson finished with 17 as the Bluejays drop to 13-2 overall and 5-1 in the Mid Continent League.  Lager led TMP with 18 points and McFarland finished with 14.  The win ends a three game losing streak for the Monarchs who improve to 8-7 overall and 5-1 in the MCL.  TMP will play next Friday at home against Phillipsburg.

Flax was a second-team All Mid-Continent League selection at defensive end this past season despite battling a foot injury.

He says being able to continue his academic and athletic careers at a service academy was something he couldn’t turn down.

“I always wanted to serve my country,” Flax said “The opportunities that are at the service academy are unmatched.”

Flax said the coaching state at Air Force recruited him as a defensive end and he anticipates working as a defensive lineman.

TMP coach Jason Cauley said he saw “raw potential” in Flax a believed that he could play at the next level if he wanted to.

“Right now he has no idea how good he can be” Cauley said “He can get to wherever he wants to be.”

Monarchs Head Coach Jason Cauley

Hays High introduces two new coaches

Dustin Armbruster

Hays High and Athletic Director Chris Michaelis introduced two new coaches on Wednesday morning. Silas Hibbs will be directing the boys and girls soccer teams. Nicole Solis will be heading up the girls swimming program this spring.

Hibbs, a 2005 Hays High graduate, was an all-state midfielder for the Indians and was part of the soccer team’s state runner up finish in 2002. He went on to play soccer and compete in track and field at Tabor College. While at Tabor, Hibbs was a four time all-conference selection in the KCAC, a two time conference pole vault champ, and four time academic all-american.

He currently works for Koch Industries in Wichita but is moving back to Hays with his fiance and will be enrolling at Fort Hays State University to complete the MBA program. Hibbs is engaged to Nicole Tillman who will be joining her father at Great Plains Dermatology.

Hibbs takes over a program that will feature a player that looks to break his own record of goals in a career. Ethan Nunnery set the school record for goals in a season and is just three shy of the career mark. As coach, Hibbs hopes to run a 4-3-3 attack but will adjust his game plan to the personal he has on the team. He will be looking for an assistant coach that is more defensive minded to compliment his ability to coach the offense.

Hibbs was an assistant coach at Tabor following graduation and has spend time as part of the FC Wichita club including coach part of the youth program. He will be looking to increase the number of players on the team and build a foundation of expectations. Those expectations include wins, but only as a piece of the puzzle. Hibbs expects his athletes to perform in the classroom with the same dedication and commitment he wants from them on the field. Hibbs long term plans with the Indian’s program is to also help build a soccer culture in Hays that includes the clubs of Hays, FHSU and possible Thomas More Prep-Marian.

Michaelis also announced Nicole Solis as the new head coach for the girls swimming program. She is currently the assistant coach for the boys program and works as the library secretary at Roosevelt Elementary School. Solis is a Bishop Carroll high school graduate where she was a four year varsity swimmer.

Solis pointed out that swimming is a low impact sport that doesn’t carry a great injury risk. It is from personal experience that she relays that message. Solis broke her back in two places during her youth and swimming was the only sport that doctors would clear her to compete in. Like Hibbs with the soccer programs, Solis is looking to build the number of athletes out for the girls swimming program. Currently she has just eight out for the spring. Solis hopes to build the numbers by increasing the competitiveness of the swimmers while also building strong team bonding and creating a fun environment for the team. Those things combined she hopes will build excitement around the program and lead to the current swimmers bringing additional members to the team.

Solis and her husband moved to Hays less than two years ago, with her husband working on his masters at FHSU. Along with drawing on experience from being an assistant the boys team currently, Solis was an assistant coach at the Northwest YMCA in Wichita for the Neptunes swimmers.

Solis says practice will start with two practices a day. The practices will include a technique clinic. The goal is perfect the girls technique at the beginning of the season instead of needing to make correction during the year.
