Junction City’s air attack downs Hays High in season opener

Posted on

Hays High football opened their second season under coach Tony Crough by hosting Junction City on Friday night at Lewis Field Stadium.

Hays scored on the first drive of the game to take a 7-0 lead.  Hayden Brown scampered 44 yards on third down to take the first lead of the season.  Junction City went to a strong air attack throughout the first half.  The Blue Jays scored on their first two drives of the game taking a 14-7 lead.  Andrew Khoury threw for a score on one of those drives and set the other score up with a pass down to the one yard line.

The two teams entered a stalemate for most of the remainder of the half.  Hays went three play and out over their next six drives losing a total of eight yards.  One of those six drives started in Junction City territory but faltered on a penalty on first down.  Junction City punted on their next three drives but eventually found the pay dirt on the second quarter.  The Blue Jays converted a fourth and thirteen play for 26 yards that eventually led to a touchdown.  The extra point missed for a 20-7 Blue Jay advantage.

Junction City drove to the Hays High two yard line at the end of the second quarter but were turned away as time expired.

Highlights

Hays held Junction City to three plays and punts on the first two possessions of the second half.  The second of the two punts featured the flash of what Jaren Kanak provides to the Indian football team.  Kanak received the punt at the twelve yard line, bounced of a tackle, the outraced the Blue Jays for a touchdown.  The extra point closed the gap down to 20-14 with 8:18 left in the third quarter.

Junction City scored the next 22 points of then Carson Kiefer for a 33 yard strike.  Hays fell in end 48-30 to the Junction City Blue Jays.

Junction City piled up 497 yards, 332 of which came through the air.  Hays ends the game with 263 yards.

Coach Tony Crough

Hays falls to 0-1 to start the year.  Junction City improves to 1-0.  Hays stays home to take on 1-0 Great Bend next week.

HHS volleyball finishes 2nd, TMP-Marian 3rd at Maroon and Gold Invitational

Hays Post

HAYS – The 2019 Hays High Lady Indian Volleyball team started their new season in solid form with a 2nd place finish at the inaugural Maroon and Gold Invitational in Hays. The Lady Indians finished 3-2 on the day with their only two losses coming at the hands of Olathe West.

Hays started the day with a 25-23, 27-25 win over Wheatland. Tasiah Nunnery led the way with eight kills and 11 assists. Brooke Denning and Brooklyn Schaffer finished the match with 10 digs each. Next up was a tough 19-25, 19-25 loss to eventual champion Olathe Wes. Schaffer had eight more digs while Nunnery and Carly Lange led the charge with four kills.

The Lady Indians would not have it easy the next two matches. The first was a 25-21, 21-25, 25-16 three set win over Scott City. Nunnery paced the team with 17 kills, Kyah Summers 17 assists and Schaffer had 11 digs. Next was a close 25-22, 25-20 victory of Salina South. Nunnery had 14 kills and 10 assists and Schaffer 12 digs.

That win pushed the Lady Indians to the championship match where the long day of play showed with some tired legs for the host team. Hays lost a lop-sided tilt to Olathe West 15-25, 10-25. Nunnery and Schaffer were both named to the all tournament team with Nunnery being named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.

TMP-Marian went 2-3 and finished third. The Monarchs went 1-2 and finished second in their pool. After beating Bucklin (25-17, 25-17) the Monarchs lost to Salina South (17-25, 25-18, 17,25) and Colby (29-31, 25-15, 19-25). In the semifinals they lost to Olathe West (24-26, 14-25) but bounced back to beat Salina South (25-19, 25-18) in the third place match.

Hays High is now off until September 12th when they travel to Dodge City.

The Monarchs host Ellis and Stockton Tuesday.
