Hays High Golf 3rd At State; Brungardt and DeBoer Top 5

By Dustin Armbruster

The Hays High Lady Indian golf team wasn’t quite able to defend their 2014 state title.  However their third place finish on Monday was still a major accomplishment.

All season Katie Brungardt and Taylor DeBoer battled at the top of the leaderboard, consistently finishing in the top five.  But for the majority of the season the team finishes didn’t match up.  The team was made up of inexperienced players outside of Brungardt and Deboer.  Four of the players didn’t even own clubs, playing the season with borrowed equipment.

Coach Kelli Karlin

Katie Brungardt

Taylor DeBoer

Heading into the Regional Tournament in Goodland, Hays was just simply hoping to qualify the team to state.  They did qualify to the state tournament to be held on their home course at Smoky Hill Golf Course.

Battling 20-30 mph southerly winds Brungardt fired an 82 to finish runner-up.  She shot a 44 on the her first nine, followed by a 38.  The winning score was 77.  DeBoer carded an 89 for 5th shooting a 44 and 45.   Emily McGuire and Breanna Park rounded out the Indians score of 411.  Emily George and Brittani Park also competed on Monday.

Hays finished behind Goodland (400) and champion Winfield at 395.

Beloit uses big 3rd Quarter to put away TMP

Beloit 60, TMP 21

Beloit outscored TMP 28-0 in the 3rd Quarter Friday night to blow open a close game with the visitors from Hays. The Trojans led 24-14 at halftime and used one offensive and three defensive touchdowns in the third to help blow out the Monarchs 60-21.

TMP scored three touchdowns on the night.  A 65-yard Chase Romme touchdown run on the first offensive play of the game for the Monarchs put TMP on the board.  Gavin Schumacher added a couple of scores for TMP as well. He was on the receiving end of a 36-yard touchdown strike from Romme with under a minute to play in the first half. He also hauled in a 42-yard touchdown pass from Luke Ruder in the 4th Quarter.

TMP drops to 1-6 overall and 0-1 in Class 3A, District 14 play.  The Monarchs will host Russell on Friday night at Lewis Field Stadium.

Hays falls to Buhler in district opener

By Dustin Armbruster

The Hays High Indians opened district play with the undefeated Buhler Crusaders on Friday Night.  Buhler had only given up 41 points in their first six games, which included three shut-out wins.  Buhler entered the night ranked #2 in class 4A-1.  It was the first time Hays had played an opponent that was not in Class 5A or 6A.

The Indians forced Buhler into a change of possession on downs to start the game.  Hays then had their punt blocked and recovered at the 1 yard line to set up the Crusaders to with their first score of the night one play later.  Hays blocked the extra point to keep the score at 6-0.  Hays responded on their next drive scoring on a 43 yard touchdown pass from Kohlton Meyers to Keith Dryden on 3rd a 21.  The score and Logan Clark extra point gave the Indians a 7-6 lead in the first quarter.

Highlights

 

Hays would hold that lead until midway through the second quarter.  At that point Buhler would score three touchdowns in less than five minutes to go up 25-7 at halftime.

The Indians opened the second half driving with the football but fumbled the ball that Buhler returned 40 yards for a touchdown.  Buhler would go on for the 46-14 win.  Dylan Schmidtberger scored his first career touchdowns for the Indians in the fourth quarter for their second score of the night.

Coach Rath

 

Hays falls to 2-5 and 0-1 in district play.  Buhler is now 7-0 for the eighth time in school history.

Fast Oakley start dooms TMP

Oakley 42, TMP 7

Oakley scored 21 first quarter points and didn’t look back from there as they went on the road to beat the TMP Monarchs 42-7 on Friday night. Oakley used a short field in the for their first three scores, scoring on drives of 54, 53 and 30 yards.  Kendrick Smith, Colter Stoll and Macoy Rains all scored.

TMP’s defense would tighten up in the second quarter as the Monarchs held the Plainsmen out of the endzone.  The TMP offense was able to get the wheels turning as Chase Romme capped off a four play, 42 yard drive with a 35 yard touchdown run on fourth down and two.  That would be all of the scoring TMP could muster.

The Monarchs had the ball to start the third quarter but had to punt and Oakley scored on the ensuing drive.  The final score for the Plainsmen came late on a two yard run from Tyler Park.  TMP turned the ball over five times tonight which brings their turnover total from the last three games to 16.

Oakley improves to 3-3 on the season and will travel to Ellis next week.  TMP drops to 1-5 and will be on the road in Beloit next week when they start district play.

Hays Travels To Dodge City

By Dustin Armbruster

The Hays High Indians traveled to Dodge City on Friday night to take on the fourth most potent offense in all of 11-man football.  The Red Demons entered the evening averaging 52 points and 502 yards per contest.  Dodge City was held to under their average in both points and yards but pulled out the win 37-3 over Hays.

It took all of three offensive plays for Dodge City to show their offensive fireworks.  Hays opened the game with two punts and an interception.  Dodge City responded with three pass plays all from Caden Walters to Eric Reid for 184 yards and three scores.  The Red Demons led 21-0 with 4:24 left to go in the first quarter.  Dodge City tacked on a Tyler Trent touchdown run in the first quarter and second quarter to lead 35-0 at half time.

Highlights

The Hays defense came to play in the second half.  The Indians forced three fumbles, picked off a pass, and forced a change of possession on downs holding Dodge City out of the end zone in the second half.  The Indian’s only scoring drive came following a Dodge City fumble to open the third quarter.  Logan Clark kicked a 32 yard field goal to cap a 12 play-4:40 drive.

The lone points for Dodge City in the second half came when Hays fumbled in their own end zone and covered it up for a Red Demon safety.

 

Coach Randall Rath

Hays falls to 2-4 on the year and finishes WAC play at 1-3.  Dodge City improves to 4-2 and is 3-0 in the conference.  Dodge City will play Garden City for the outright league title in week 9.

Hays is at home to open district play next week against undefeated Buhler.

Hays High releases 2016-17 football schedule

By DUSTIN ARMBRUSTER

The Hays High Indians will have a different look to their football schedule for 2016 and 2017.  The Indians will open 2016 at Scott City, a team they have played three time prior.  The two played in 2002 and 2003.  Scott City winning 13-12 in 2002 and Hays taking the 2003 game 23-20.  The two also played back in 1931 with Hays winning 6-0.

Weeks two through four remain with the same Western Athletic Conference games as before with Great Bend, Liberal and Garden City.

Week 5 the Indians will welcome Valley Center to town.  The two have only met one time prior and that was in the 5A playoffs in 1995.  Valley Center won the game 28-7.

Hays will finish their WAC schedule with Dodge City in week 6.

The Indians district schedule gets a bit of a tweak as well.  McPherson moves from the final game of the season to Week 7.  Abilene remains in the Week 8 slot.  To finish district play and the regular season the Indians will travel to Wamego in Week 9.  The Indians have never faced the Red Raiders.  Wamego is competed last year and this year in 4A-II.

Scott City is moving from 3A to 4A-II after ten years.  Valley who is the 8th smallest 5A school football.   Those two schools replace 6A schools Olathe Northwest and Wichita South on the schedule.

Wamego replaces Buhler in the district schedule that is set up by KSHSAA.
