Neither Hays or Abilene could buy a basket in the first quarter on Tuesday night. Hays was just 1 of 12. Abilene finished the first quarter at 3-17. Then Hays high took control of the second quarter. Trailing 7-5 after the first, the Indians got a Mattison Schlaefli three pointer to take their first lead of the game at 8-7. The Lady Indians turned the basket into a 11-0 run and didn’t allow Abilene to score until there was 2:40 left in the half.

Hays scored the next nine points over the third and fourth quarter building their lead to 11 at 30-19. Hays kept their lead at double figures (35-25) with under 2:00 remaining in the game. Abilene then scored five straight points to get with in six. Hays made just 1 of 8 free throws over the final one minute, but Abilene only scored one point themselves, as the Indians pull the 37-31 upset.

Coach Kirk Maska

Abilene ranked #9 in class 4A-D1 drops to 13-5, shooting just 10 of 54. Hays made 14 of 34 shots. Hays is now 5-12 and have won back to back games. Audra Schmeidler led the way with 12 points.

The Hays High Indians hit Abilene with a three point barrage in the first half, hitting 8 of 14 beyond the arc. The Indian’s first 12 shots attempts were of the three point variety. Despite the hot shooting, Abilene kept pace and tied the game at 15 after the first quarter and took a 18-15 lead with a three of their own to open the second quarter. Hays scored six straight to retake the lead they would have for rest of the half.

Highlights

Hays and Abilene played to a draw midway through the third quarter when Hays outscored Abilene 12-7, grabbing a 12 point lead at 53-41 heading to the fourth quarter. Abilene cut the lead down to seven at 56-49 with 4:05 left in the game. Hays clamped down on defense and ended the game on a 10-1 run.

FHSU women’s basketball drops to No. 5 in latest WBCA poll

FHSU Athletics

Fort Hays State Women’s Basketball slipped three spots to No. 5 in the latest Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA)/USA Today Top 25, released Tuesday (Feb. 17) by the organization.  FHSU previously was second with 735 votes, and fell to fifth with 597 votes.

The poll saw previous No. 1 Lewis drop one spot to No. 2, while Alaska-Anchorage climbed into the top spot.  Rounding out the Top 5 ahead of FHSU was Limestone (No. 3) and West Texas A&M (No. 4).

FHSU (22-2, 14-1 MIAA) saw its 21-game win streak come to an end on Saturday at Pittsburg State, though FHSU is still 5-2 against ranked opponents this season and 2-1 in Top 10 matchups on the year.  Pitt State moved up to No. 7 in the most recent rankings, while fellow MIAA opponent Emporia State fell to No. 13 after a loss to Northeastern State.  Other conference opponents listed in the rankings were Washburn (receiving 25 votes) and Missouri Southern (receiving six votes).

In the MIAA standings, Fort Hays State holds a one-game lead over Pitt State and a three-game lead over ESU with four games to go, and has already locked up a first round bye in the MIAA Tournament.  FHSU is the only team so far in the conference to guarantee itself a spot in the MIAA quarterfinals in Kansas City, Mo., in early March.

This Wednesday (Feb. 18), the first of four official NCAA Region Rankings are released as part of the run-up to the NCAA Central Regional, held March 13-15 at the top school in the region.  FHSU is the only team in the region (comprised of teams from the MIAA, NSIC and GAC) with just two losses on the year.

FHSU is also ranked No. 1 in two other national polls:  BennettRank and Massey Ratings.  Information on those polls can be found using the links above.

Fort Hays State closes out its home portion of the 2014-15 regular season with Senior Night on Wednesday (Feb. 18) against Washburn.  Game time is 5:30 p.m.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) – Juwan Staten made a layup with 4 seconds left to lift No. 23 West Virginia to a 62-61 victory over No. 8 Kansas on Monday night.

KU’s Ellis named Big 12 Player of the Week for second time this season

Kansas Athletics

IRVING, Texas – Kansas junior Perry Ellis has been named men’s basketball co-Big 12 Player of the Week in a vote by a media panel which covers the conference, the league office announced Monday. Eliis, who earned the honor for the second time this season and fourth time for his career, shared the accolade with Le’Bryan Nash of Oklahoma State.

Ellis averaged 16.0 points and 7.5 rebounds as the No. 8/9 Jayhawks won at Texas Tech, 73-51, and defeated then-No. 16/16 Baylor, 74-64. The Wichita forward shot 52.2 percent from the field and 87.5 percent from the free throw line. He opened the week by just missing a double-double with 14 points and nine boards at Tech. He then tied for the game-high in scoring with 18 points against the Bears.

Earlier this season, Ellis was named Big 12 Player of the Week after being named the most valuable player in Kansas’ Orlando Classic championship over Thanksgiving weekend. He twice earned the accolade last season.

Kansas’ leading scorer and rebounder, Ellis is the only player in the Big 12 to rank in the top seven in the conference in scoring (tied for seventh at 13.1 ppg) and rebounding (fourth at 7.1 rpg).

No. 8/8 Kansas (21-4, 10-2) is at No. 23/22 West Virginia (19-6, 7-5) for an ESPN Big Monday game tonight, Feb. 16, at 8 p.m. (Central).

FHSU wrestling claims three individual champs; finishes third at MIAA championships

FHSU Athletics

Fort Hays State had three individual champions and six All-MIAA performers at the MIAA Championships on Sunday (Feb. 15) in Warrensburg, Mo. Three of Fort Hays State’s four ranked wrestlers won individual titles, including No. 8 Noah Killip at 141 pounds, No. 8 Jon Inman at 184 pounds, and No. 5 Trey Page at 285 pounds.

At final count, the Tigers had eight placers – three champions, two second-place, one third-place, and two fourth-place finishers. Taking second were Josh Rodriguez at 174 pounds and Cash Drylie at 197 pounds. Joey Dozier claimed third at 149 pounds, while Garrett Jones (133) and Bradley Little (157) each claimed fourth.

To earn All-MIAA status, wrestlers have to finish in the top three. Those honors go to Killip, Inman, Page, Rodriguez, Drylie, and Dozier.

As a team, the Tigers finished third handily with 70.5 points, only behind champion Nebraska-Kearney (91.5) and Lindenwood (82). Central Oklahoma was fourth at 51, and then Central Missouri and Newman in fifth and sixth respectively to round out the six-team standings.

Scoring was hard to come by in the 141-pound final. After a scoreless first period, Noah Killip controlled his opponent throughout the entire second period to gain two minutes of riding time. In the process he nearly pinned his opponent, No. 5 ranked Kyle Webb of Lindenwood, with three nearfall points in the period to take a 3-0 lead. Webb countered in the third by controlling Killip for nearly the entire period, wiping out Killip’s potential riding time point. However, Webb could not find a scoring opportunity and a stall point was all he earned. Killip took the match by a 3-1 decision.

At 174 pounds, No. 7 ranked Josh Rodriguez looked as though he was going to give FHSU four champions on the day, getting a takedown in the third period with 10 seconds remaining to take a 5-4 lead on Archie Williams of Central Missouri. However, Williams escaped just a few seconds before the final buzzer to tie the match and force overtime where he used a duck-under move to score the sudden victory takedown on Rodriguez, a 7-5 decision.

Jon Inman looked to be cruising to a victory at 184 pounds against John McArdle of Lindenwood, up 6-2 after two periods. However, McArdle used a flurry of moves late to get the match tied 7-7, but Inman’s dominance early in the match was too much as he had a enough riding time accumulated for an extra point, winning 8-7. Inman avenged a loss to McArdle in last year’s MIAA Tournament Final, when he lost late on a pin even though he had the lead in the match.

Cash Drylie used an upset in the semifinals at 197 pounds to reach the finals. He knocked off fourth-ranked Kenny Breaux of Lindenwood with a fall at 4:00 to get a match with the No. 1 ranked wrestler in the nation, Romero Cotton of Nebraska-Kearney. Cotton was too much for Drylie in the championship, scoring a 13-2 major decision.

Trey Page dominated in the finals at heavyweight, running his season record to 41-2 overall. He shutout Jacob Borgmeyer of Lindenwood with a third-period tech fall of 15-0. It was his 12th technical fall of the season.
Winning the third-place match at 149 pounds with a 9-5 decision was Joey Dozier. Dozier lost his semifinal match against Destin McCauley of UNK before knocking off Jared Mestas of Lindenwood for the consolation bracket win.

Full results from the tournament for FHSU wrestlers are posted below. The Tigers return to action at the NCAA Super Regional 4 in Pueblo, Colo., February 27-28.
