TMP takes down Russell, on to 3A State

Posted on March 4, 2017

Hays Post

TMP 53, Russell 36

RUSSELL, Kan-A battle of two state ranked teams did not disappoint on Saturday in Russell as the TMP Lady Monarchs traveled to Russell for the 3A Sub-State Championship game. The two teams combined for 34 straight wins heading into the game. TMP had 19 in a row and Russell had 15.

The number one seeded Lady Monarchs started out hot in the first quarter taking an 18-5 lead on a three pointer from Megan Koenigsman and helped her team an 18-7 lead after the first quarter. TMP pushed their lead to 15 points, 24-9 on, on a Kayla Vitztum put back. That’s when Russell went on an 11-2 run to end the first half and close the gap t0 26-20 at the break.

The Lady Monarchs came out breathing fire at the start of the third quarter scoring the first six points capped off by Katelyn Zimmerman’s only bucket of the game to give TMP a 32-20 lead. Russell would not get the game back to single digits the rest of the way. The Lady Monarchs led 40-30 after three quarters and would lead by as many as 19 points in the fourth quarter before settling for the 53-36 win.

Koenigsman led TMP with 18 points on the night, Vitztum had 13. Russell finishes their season at 19-4. TMP improves to 22-1 on the season and will travel to Hutchinson on Wednesday for the opening round of the 3A State Tournament.

Dustin Armbruster

The Hays High girls played in their first sub-state title game since 2012. Saturday night’s game was played in Buhler with the Indians facing one of the top teams in 4A-D1, McPherson. The Bullpups entered the game ranked 3rd in the classification and had only lost three games on the year.

Mcpherson burst out of the gate with a 16-2 run to put little doubt as to the outcome of the game. Hays would get no closer that six rest of the night, when they scored their first basket at 8-2. Hays trailed by 20 entering the second quarter at 26-6. McPherson out scored Hays by two in the second quarter 13-11 and lead the Indians 39-17 at half time.

Highlights

After trailing 26-6 after the first quarter, McPherson outscored Hays 41-31 the remainder of the game. Hays trailed 59-30 entering the fourth quarter and falls 67-37.

Taylor Robertson scored 28 points to lead all players who move to 19-3 and head to the state tournament in Salina next week. Hays ends their season at 12-10.

Mason leads No. 1 Kansas past Oklahoma State

Posted on March 4, 2017March 4, 2017

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Frank Mason scored 27 points to help No. 1 Kansas hold off Oklahoma State 90-85 on Saturday night.

Mason, the Big 12’s leading scorer, also had nine assists and eight rebounds. Josh Jackson had 17 points and nine rebounds, and Devonte’ Graham added 13 points for the Jayhawks, who won their eighth straight overall and snapped a three-game skid in Stillwater.

Kansas had already clinched its 13th consecutive Big 12 title, but the Jayhawks (28-3, 16-2) remained focused and shot 56 percent against one of the hottest teams in the league.

Jeffrey Carroll scored a career-high 27 points and Jawun Evans added 22 points and a career-best 15 assists for Oklahoma State (20-11, 9-9).

Kansas led by 12 in the first half before Oklahoma State rallied. Carroll’s 3-pointer with 18.3 seconds left in regulation cut the Jayhawks’ lead to 88-85, but the Cowboys got no closer.

Late rally dooms Tiger baseball at UCO

Posted on March 4, 2017March 4, 2017

EDMOND, Okla. – The Fort Hays State baseball team jumped out to an early lead, but a late-inning rally by Central Oklahoma gave the Bronchos a 13-6 victory Saturday afternoon. The Tigers put up three runs in the first inning and led 6-2 in the middle of the fifth, but UCO put up 11 runs in the final four innings to steal the win.

The Tigers move to 6-10 on the year and 0-5 in league play after the loss, while Central Oklahoma is now 12-2 overall and 4-1 in the MIAA.

Ty Redington drew a walk to open the contest before a pitch hit Jake Lanferman two batters later. Clayton Basgall made Broncho starter Tyler Culver pay for the miscues with a two-out, three-run home run to center field.

The Bronchos responded with a run in the first and another in the second before FHSU padded its lead back to three with a pair of unearned runs in the third inning. Redington reached on a fielding error to open the frame before a double from Nick Hammeke put two runners in scoring position. Lanferman was then hit by a pitch for the second time to load the bases before the next two Tigers struck out swinging. Trevor Hughes came through with two outs, knocking a solid single to left to score Redington and Hammeke and put the Tigers in front 5-2.

Fort Hays State extended the lead to 6-2 in the top of the fifth inning after Hammeke worked a leadoff walk. Lanferman followed with a single to center before Dayton Pomeroy moved them up 90 feet on a sacrifice bunt. Basgall picked up his fourth RBI of the afternoon when he lifted a sacrifice fly to left.

The Tigers struggled against the UCO bullpen, reaching base just once on a walk in the final five innings.

Basgall drove in four runs and scored another after his second home run of the season. Hammeke picked up his fifth double of the season and scored twice. Lanferman reached in three of his four plate appearances. Hughes collected the fourth and final Tiger hit, knocking in two runs and finishing 1-for-4. Redington scored a pair of runs despite not collecting a hit.

Sam Capps started the game for FHSU, allowing eight hits and five runs in 4.1 innings of work. The junior struck out nine Broncho batters, matching the most in a game for the Tigers this season. Easton Palmer (1-1) took the loss after giving up two runs in just 0.2 innings on the mound.

The Tigers will look to salvage one win in the series finale Sunday (March 5) at noon.

K-State beats Texas Tech to help NCAA hopes

Posted on March 4, 2017March 4, 2017

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — D.J. Johnson had 19 points in his final game at Bramlage Coliseum, helping Kansas State to a 61-48 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday and giving the Wildcats’ NCAA Tournament hopes a boost.

Fellow senior Wesley Iwundu added 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Wildcats (19-12, 8-10), who also snapped a four-game home skid and locked up the No. 6 seed for next week’s Big 12 Tournament.

That means Kansas State will have a first-round bye for the first time in three years.

Texas Tech (18-13, 6-12) may have had its own NCAA Tournament hopes dumped with its ninth straight road defeat. The Red Raiders haven’t won back-to-back games since December.

Keenan Evans and Niem Stevenson led them with 11 points apiece.

Hays girls advance to first title game since 2012

Posted on March 3, 2017

Dustin Armbruster

Hays and Ulysses met in semi-final round of the girls sub-state tournament in Buhler on Friday night. For both teams it was a season of improvement. Both entered at 11-9 after single digit wins the prior season. Hays won seven last year and Ulysses won just three.

Ulysses scored the first four points of the game to take their only first and only lead of the game at 4-0. Hays responded in an eight minute 18-2 run that sandwiched a 8-0 run and 10-0 run around a two point field goal from Ulysses. That stretch pushed Hays High to a double digit lead at 18-6. The Indians would push that lead up to fifteen two different times, the last at 25-10. Ulysses scored the final five points of the second quarter including a three pointer at the buzzer from over 25 feet away to trim the Indian lead down to 25-15.

Highlights

Hays pushed the lead back to 13 at 30-17 when Ulysses started 7-0 run that would cut the Indian lead down to six with just under three minutes remaining in the third quarter. Maddie Keller and Tasaiah Nunner combined to outscore Ulysses 7-3 on the remainder of quarter to rebuild the Hays lead to 10. Ulysses again trimmed the lead down to single figures getting the difference down to seven 37-30. The lead never dwindled below that. Hays pushed the lead as high as 16 and won 51-38.

Coach Kirk Maska

Savannah Schneider scored a game high 16 while Maddie Keller scored 11. Hays improves to 12-9 on the year and moves to the sub-state championship to face the winner of McPherson and Buhler. It will be the first sub-state title game for the Indians since 2012. Ulysses ends their season at 11-10. Hays held Ulysses to just 26% shooting while hitting 43% themselves.
