Phillipsburg forced eight TMP turnovers in the third quarter and extended their lead to 11 points a couple of times in the period. TMP was able to get the deficit back to single digits, 44-35, by the end of the quarter. The Panthers did not let TMP back in the game and advanced to the championship game with the 62-48 win.

JOE HERTEL INTERVIEW
GAME HIGHLIGHTS
Hays falls in overtime for a second consecutive game
Dustin Armbruster
Hays High and Scott City met up in the 2015 championship of the Colby Orange & Black Classic. Two years later the to did battle in the consolation semi-finals. Each of their losses the previous day had broken some impressive streaks. Scott City hadn’t lost in the tournament since the first round of 2010, a stretch of fourteen consecutive games, claiming the tournament title in 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Hays had won twelve consecutive tournament first round games before their loss on Thursday.
Both teams entered the game ranked in their respective classes. Hays at #7 in 4A-I and Scott City at #9 in 4A-II. The two had played a thriller of a football game to open the 2016 season with Hays scoring 21 fourth quarter points on three fourth down passes to win 31-21.
High grabbed two early three point leads before going on a 4:30 scoring drought. Scott City used that time to go on a 8-0 lead and build their lead to five at 10-5. The teams traded baskets to end the first quarter with the Beavers leading 14-12. The two teams swapped the lead back and forth over the first two minutes of the second quarter when Hays took the lead at 17-16 that started a 15-3 run that built the Indian lead to eleven. Scott City scored the final two points of first half cutting the Indian lead down to 30-22.
Highlights
Hays held one more two point lead in the second half scoring the first basket of the third quarter for a 32-22 lead. Scott City would cut the lead down to three before Hays scored six straight on a Xander Swayne three pointer and three point play by Tyrese Hill. Scott City answered with the own three point play to cut the Hays lead down to six after three quarters 43-37. Hays scored just three points in the fourth quarter. They came with fifteen seconds left off the hand of Collyn Kreutzer to tie the game at 46. Scott City got off a final shot but missed sending the Indians overtime for a second consecutive game.
Like the previous day, Hays scored first in overtime to take a two point lead early in the period. Hays turned the ball over on their next three possession while Scott City hit a three to go up 51-48 with 21 second left. Hays got an offensive rebound and put back with seven seconds left to tighten the game at 51-50. Scott City hit one of two free throws and a desperation heave from behind half court came up short for Hays and the Indians lose 52-50.
Coach Rick Keltner
Scott City breaks a four game losing streak with the victory and is 6-5 on the season. Hays falls in overtime for a second consecutive day and is 7-3.
Collyn Kreutzer led the Indians with 12 points. Scott City got 16 from Bo Hess and Marshall Faurot came off the bench with a career high 16 as well.
Hays will play for 7th place for the first time in their 15 year history at the Orange & Black Classic. The game will be at noon at the Community Building.

The Lady Ringnecks scored only two second quarter points and saw TMP’s lead balloon out to as many as 16 points. The Lady Monarchs held a 32-16 lead at halftime.
Hill City has a history of a strong second half and TMP was very aware of the Ringneck scoring ability.

Tigers rally from 15 down to beat Missouri Western
By GERARD WELLBROCK
Hays Post
JOSEPH, Mo. – Rob Davis shook of a slow start to score a game-high 20 points, Brady Werth added a career-best 19 along with 11 rebounds and Trey O’Neil scored all of his 14 points in the second half as Fort Hays State rallied from a 15 point first half deficit to beat Missouri Western 74-69.
The Tigers (10-6, 4-4 MIAA) held the Griffons (6-12, 2-7 MIAA) without a field goal over the final five minutes of the first half to pull within five at halftime. A Brady Werth dunk capped an 8-0 run to give the Tigers a 42-41 lead with 14:40 to play, a lead they would never give up.
Mark Johnson Postgame Interview
Game Highlights
The Tigers shot 50-percent in the second half and 45-percent for the game. The Griffons hit 58-percent in the second half and 51-percent for the game but FHSU pulled down 12 offensive rebounds, outscoring MWSU 12-0 on second chance points.

Hays girls beat Dodge City for first time since 2013
Dustin Armbruster
Mother nature again caused issues with the Hays High basketball schedule. Hays and Dodge City were scheduled to play a girls game on Tuesday night. Due to ice that knocked out power in Dodge City, causing the district to call off school, the game was delayed by a day. The same power issues still existed in Dodge City on Wednesday, but with the game between scheduled to be played in Hays, the Red Demons made the trip despite not having school for a second consecutive day.
Hays didn’t score their first field goal until the 3:10 mark of the first quarter, but the Indian defense held the game to a 3-3 score to that point. When Hays finally did hit a basket, it ignited a 17-0 run that lasted midway through the second quarter and built the Indians a 20-3 lead.
Highlights
The Hays defense held Dodge City scoreless for seven minutes and twenty-three seconds while building their lead to 17. The Red Demons had the best stretch of offense in the first half scoring five straight points after the Indians built their biggest lead of the second quarter at 25-6. Hays led 27-11 going into the half, hitting 11 of 14 free throws.
Hays continued to build their lead in the third quarter thanks to defense. The Indians held Dodge City scoreless over a four minute and thirty-six second span helping build their lead to 40-16. Hays pushed the lead to as high as 25 early in the fourth quarter and cruise to a 55-34 victory.
Coach Kirk Maska
It was the first win for Hays High over Dodge City since 2013 when the Indians beat them three times. Jaycee Dale was the only player in the game to reach double figures scoring 10. In all fifteen Indians saw action in the game with eleven scoring.
