Highlights

Hays took two early six points lead in the third quarter but then hit a scoring drought.  Dodge City though responded by taking advantage of a scoring drought by the Lady Indians.  A 13-2 run by the Lady Demons that lasted a minute into the fourth quarter put Hays down 36-31.  Insert, Brooke Denning.  Denning scored the games next ten points that included a pair of three pointers.  The lead for Hays grew to 43-36 with 1:27 left, but Hays could not hang on.  Hays turned the ball over twice and missed a free throw on their three possessions.  Dodge City scored two field goals in the final minute.  The final coming from Kisa Unruh on a twenty-five foot bank shot with two seconds left to send the game to over time at 43.

Hays took the first lead of overtime on a Tasiah Nunnery three pointer that was answered by the Lady Demon’s Unruh.  Isabel Robben scored the game’s last field goal to give Hays a 48-46 lead with 1:30 left.  The Lady Indians did hang onto the lead this time making two free throws with seven seconds remaining and then intercepting a deep pass for a 50-47 win.

Coach Kirk Maska

Brooke Denning tied a career high with 17 and Tasiah Nunnery added 14.  The game featured five ties and eleven lead changes.  Hays improves to 10-5 and 4-0 in the WAC.  Dodge City falls to 8-6 and 2-2.

Boys

Hays 83 – Dodge City 63

As the girls did, Hays High entered the night’s game as the conference leaders at 3-0.  Hays trailed twice in the first quarter at 2-0 and 8-4.  Hays High then caught fire and went on an 18-0 run over a four and a half minute time frame.  The run pushed the Hays lead to 22-8 over Dodge City.  Hays seven on nine shots during the stretch including four three pointers.  Ethan Nunnery buried a three at the first quarter buzzer for a 30-12 Hays lead.

The Indians continued to push their lead higher through the third quarter, twice leading by 26.  By halftime Hays led 48-24.

Highlights

Dodge City did make a couple of second pushes but never got closer than 14 rest of the game.  A 11-2 run in the third closed the gap down to 62-44, but Hays increased the lead to 67-44 after three quarters.  A 17-8 run in the fourth quarter pulled the game down to a 14 point differential with a little under two minutes remaining.  Following a technical foul on the Dodge City bench, heated emotions boiled over with two more technical fouls on a hard foul on a loose ball.  Hays made their final eight free throws over the final ninety seconds to secure a 83-63 victory.

Coach Rick Keltner

Cole Murphy scored a career high 27 including seven three pointers.  Ethan Nunnery scored 22 and Tradgon McCrae added 17 for the Indians who are now 10-5 on the year and 4-0 in the WAC.  Dodge City falls to 7-7 and 2-2.

Tiger wrestling downs Mules in conference clash

WARRENSBURG, Mo. – The Fort Hays State wrestling team defeated Central Missouri in dominant fashion on Friday (Feb. 2) with a 37-15 drubbing of the Mules on their home mat. The Tigers improved to 5-4 overall in duals and 1-2 against conference opponents. The Mules dipped to 3-14 overall and 1-4 in MIAA duals.

The Tigers took a 6-0 lead right out of the gates when Conrad Cole received a forfeit victory as the Mules left the 125-pound bout open. In the 133-pound match, Dy’Juan Carney pinned Daide Agnew in the first period (1:14) giving him his eighth fall of the season, tying him with Cole for the second-most falls on the squad.

The 141-pound bout was a carbon copy of what Carney completed as No. 8 Brandon Ball pinned Dakota Thevel in the first period (1:58) after leading 7-0 in the match. Ball earned his second fall of the season, while improving his overall record to 26-3.

Efe Osaghae joined in on the scoring frenzy and defeated Zach Schridde in the 149-pound weight class by way of a first period fall (2:48). Osaghae earned two 4-point nearfalls in the bout before ultimately earning his second fall and 23rd victory of the year.

The Tigers took a 24-6 lead after leaving the 157-pound weight class open, giving the Mules their first points of the dual. The five initial bouts were completed in the first eight minutes of the dual.

Redshirt-freshman Marty Verhaeghe battled against Shea Conley in the 165-pound bout until the end of the third period, but was unable to outscore Conley in a 5-3 decision defeat. UCM cut into the FHSU lead to make it 24-9 with four matches remaining in the dual.

Fort Hays State was able to run away with the dual the rest of the way, winning three of the final four bouts. The run started with a 2-0 decision from Micquille Robinson over Tyler Selemaea in the 174-pound bout. In the ensuing bout, Micah Felton fell to Zach Benner in the 184-pound weight class in the first period. The Tigers then held a 27-15 advantage.

Senior Rakim Dean earned a 16-2 major decision over Dominique Hampton in the 197-pound match. The major decision was Dean’s fifth of the season, tying Osaghae for second-most on the team.

The Tigers wrapped up the dual with Dakota Gulley earning a fall over Chase Miller in the first period (2:42) of the 285-pound weight class, moving the Tigers over .500 in duals on the season.

FHSU is back in action on Sunday (Feb. 4) as they make their way to St. Charles, Mo. to battle the 20th-ranked Lindenwood Lions. The dual is set to commence at 2 p.m.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

 

Smith, Weiser combine for shutout on Opening Day

ODESSA, Texas – The Fort Hays State baseball team opened the season with an impressive 6-0 victory over Texas-Permian Basin Friday afternoon (Feb. 2) at Roden Field. The pitching duo of Tanner Smith and Austin Weiser befuddled the Falcons all afternoon, striking out 13 while allowing just four batters to reach base (two hits, one HBP, one error). It was just the second shutout for the Tigers since 2013 (5-0 vs NWOSU, 3/22/17).

The Tigers accumulated six hits and made one error on the day while the Falcons scraped together only two hits and made four errors in the field.

Smith (1-0) made the most of his first start in a Tiger uniform, striking out nine batters and allowing just one hit over six innings of work, issuing zero walks. The righty allowed just one Falcon to reach third base. Smith’s nine strikeouts are tied for the most in a single game for a Tiger since 2015 (Ben Ramberg and Sam Capps last season).

Sophomore Marcus Altman carried the team on offense, driving in four RBI while finishing 2-for-3 at the dish. The outfielder nearly matched his RBI total from last season in one game (five RBI in 2017).

The Tigers got off to a quick start after Jason Nicholson worked a walk to lead things off. After the catcher swiped second, Nicholson scored from second when Alex Weiss singled to third and forced a throwing error.

Fort Hays State doubled its lead in the top of the second when Bryce Whitchurch led off by working a walk. Ryan Grasser followed with a single into the gap in right center in his first at bat as a Tiger, advancing Whitchurch to third. Altman picked up the first RBI of the year for a Tiger in the next at bat when he punched a single to right, scoring Whitchurch.

Altman added another RBI in the top of the sixth when he lifted a sacrifice fly to right field with the bases loaded, plating Jordan Wilkerson.

The Tigers added a trio of insurance runs in the top of the eighth when Whitchurch reached on an error to open things off. Grasser worked a walk in the next at bat, bringing Altman to the plate with two on and one out. The sophomore continued his torrid afternoon, clubbing a double to left to plate a pair of runs. Altman later scored when Clayton Basgall grounded into a double play, putting the Tigers in front 6-0.

Weiser came on in relief in the seventh inning, earning the save after tossing three scoreless innings. The senior struck out four batters and allowed only one hit, retiring the first seven batters he faced before giving up a one-out double in the ninth. Weiser remained calm under pressure, striking out the final two batters with a runner in scoring position to secure the win.

The Tigers showed plenty of plate discipline, working eight walks in the victory. FHSU is now 4-4 on Opening Day under head coach Steve Johnson.

The teams will face off in game two of the series at 2 p.m. Saturday (Feb. 3).

Temple storms back, knocks off No. 16 Wichita State in OT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Obi Enechionyia hit two free throws with 18.1 seconds left in overtime, and Temple beat No. 16 Wichita State 81-79 on Thursday night.

Quinton Rose scored 19 points for the Owls (12-10, 4-6 American Athletic Conference), and Josh Brown had 15. Shizz Alston Jr. shook off a poor shooting performance to score 12 points, including the tying bucket at the end of regulation.

Enechioinyia was fouled after grabbing an offensive rebound. Markis McDuffie then missed a 3 at the other end, and the rebound caromed into the backcourt as time expired and Temple fans stormed the floor.

The Owls earned another big win alongside upsets of Clemson and Auburn early in the season.

Shaquille Morris had 24 points and nine rebounds and Austin Reaves added 20 points for the Shockers (17-5, 7-3), who have dropped three of five.

Alston, who was just 5 of 22 from the field, made a driving layup in traffic with 6.8 seconds left in regulation. Zach Brown then missed a corner 3 for Wichita State as time expired.

The Shockers led by as many as 12 points in first half, but nine second-half turnovers and Temple’s inspired play produced a comeback, with Alston tying it with a fadeaway with 2:15 left.

Morris barely beat the shot clock with a shot in the lane on the ensuing possession. But after an empty possession by each team, Alston delivered.

Temple entered with an odd resume — just a game above .500 and yet ranked No. 44 in the RPI —thanks to a brutal schedule and several quality wins.

And the Owls gave the Shockers all they could handle, despite Morris’ big night. The rugged big man eclipsed 1,000 career points in the second half and his dunk with 2:19 left in overtime made it 79-74.

Wichita State, which tumbled in the rankings after consecutive losses last month, didn’t score again despite 47-37 rebounding edge.

BIG PICTURE

Wichita State: The Shockers are learning the ropes in their first season in the AAC. Too many turnovers (16, with 10 after halftime) and 1-of-10 shooting from 3-point range in the second half were too much to overcome.

Temple: The record doesn’t show it, but the Owls can make a case for the NCAA Tournament thanks to their tough schedule, strong RPI and several big wins. A strong finish would put them in consideration despite the 10 losses.

FAMILY SQUABBLE

McDuffie scored 11 points as his sister sat behind the opposing bench. Sierra is in her second season as a graduate manager for Temple. She played basketball at Division II Felician in New Jersey.

AP Sources: Chiefs agree to trade Smith to Redskins

WASHINGTON (AP) – Two people with direct knowledge of the trade say the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to deal quarterback Alex Smith to the Washington Redskins.

The people spoke to The Associated Press on Tuesday night on condition of anonymity because the move can’t be completed until the start of the new league year in March. One person tells the AP the Redskins have agreed to a four-year extension with Smith, who had one year left on his contract.

Smith, who turns 34 in May, spent the past five seasons with the Chiefs, leading them to the playoffs four times while throwing for 102 touchdowns and 33 interceptions. He carries a $17 million salary-cap hit for 2018.

The trade spells the end of Kirk Cousins’ tumultuous tenure with the Redskins after back-to-back seasons on the franchise tag.
