Hays High splits with Pratt

Posted on December 9, 2014December 10, 2014

By DUSTIN ARMBRUSTER
Hays Post

Girls: Pratt 57, Hays 42

The Hays High Lady Indians hung with Tuesday night at home. But missed opportunities kept Hays from being close at the end. Pratt traveled to Hays with a number four ranking in class 4A-2. The two teams tied at two, four, and seven before Pratt took the lead for good at 9-7. Hays trailed by just four at the end of the first quarter 16-12, but scored just one field goal in each the second and third quarters. The Lady Indians though kept giving themselves chances by getting to the free throw line in the second quarter, but made just 8 of 16 chances by half time.

Game Highlights

Down 28-21, Hays opened the second half with a field goal to get within five. They would get four chances to score and get within a single possession but couldn’t convert. Pratt opened up a ten point lead and Hays fought back to within six and then had the ball four more times down 35-27 but couldn’t score.

Pratt used a 7-1 run at the end of the third quarter to go up 40-28 and Hays never did threaten again.

Kirk Maska Postgame Interview

The Indians shot 32% from the field on 13 of 40 shooting. Hays though made just 14 of 26 free throws. Pratt shot 18 of 49 for 37% but made 5 of 14 threes and 11 of 13 free throws.

Hays falls to 1-3 on the year and was led in scoring by a career high 10 from Ashlyn Parrish. Pratt was led by Paige Bailey with 16 and Destani Garten with 15 as the Greenbacks move to 2-0.
Boys: Hays 71, Pratt 42

Both Hays and Pratt came into Tuesday night’s game ranked in their respective classes. Hays third in 4A-.1 and Pratt eighth in 4A-2. Each team hit their first three shots of the game giving Pratt an 8-6 lead. Hays though used a 17-3 run grabbing an 11 point lead at 22-11. Pratt battled back to get within six to close the first quarter at 24-18.

That is where the Indian defense tightened up and allowed just 11 points over the next two quarters. For the Hays offense, they kept going hitting 9 of their first 11 shots and 15 of 26 by halftime including five three pointers. Isaiah Nunnery set a new career high in scoring during the first half with 18, he would finish with 23.

Game Highlights

The Indians scored 12 points of the fourth quarter to put any thoughts of a comeback away. Nunnery wasn’t the only Indian with a hot shooting hand. Keith Dryden set a new career high 20 as well. The two combined for seven of the teams eight made three point field goals. Brady Werth finished in double figures for the 43 time in his career, adding 12 points. Samson Kohman scored 18 to lead the way for Pratt.

Hays shot 50% from the field 23 of 46 and 8 of 18 on threes. Hays also hit 15 of 18 free throws. Pratt shot just 32% in the loss going 14 of 44 and 5 of 18 behind the arc. Pratt made 9 of 10 free throws.

Rick Keltner Postgame Interview

The Indians move to 3-1 on the year, Pratt is now 0-2.

Hays will be on the road for the first time this season as they travel to Colby on Thursday. That game will put the Indians a quarter of the way through their regular season schedule, with Junction City still coming up before the Christmas break. The games in Colby have a later start time. The girls tip-off is set for approximately 6:30.

Kansas State beats Bradley

Posted on December 9, 2014December 10, 2014

It was Williams’ second-career double-double, with the last coming against Baylor on March 8.

Auston Barnes scored a career-high 21 points to pace the Braves (3-6).

Foster kick-started a 20-10 run in the opening 9 minutes of the second half, providing a much-needed edge after scoring only two points off of free throws in the first half.

The sophomore knocked in three-straight 3-pointers, giving him 10 makes from behind the arc in the last two games.

The third make gave Kansas State a 38-27 lead with 12:40 remaining, which was also its largest lead of the game.

Barnes, who came in averaging 10.7 points per game, answered the Kansas State run by scoring five-straight points and tying the game at 39 apiece with 7:55 left.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) – Ron Baker scored 22 points, Fred VanVleet added 18 points and eight assists and No. 11 Wichita State handed Seton Hall its first loss of the season, 77-68 on Tuesday night.

Darius Carter had 16 points and 12 rebounds for the Shockers (6-1), who used a big first-half run to seize control, and then breezed through a foul-filled second half.

Isaiah Whitehead scored 23 points and Sterling Gibbs had 19 for the Pirates (7-1), who beat another Missouri Valley team in Illinois State earlier this season, but had yet to play anybody as deep, talented and filled with seasoned veterans as the Shockers.

Wichita State has won 22 consecutive home games dating to the 2012-13 season.

Posted on December 8, 2014December 9, 2014

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Kansas forward Jamari Traylor has been suspended for Wednesday night’s game at Georgetown after he was arrested over the weekend for interfering with a police officer.

Coach Bill Self said Monday that Traylor would travel with the No. 10 Jayhawks but would not play against the Hoyas. He said that Traylor is “a good kid who made a bad choice” and that Self hopes the situation has been put behind him.

Traylor was arrested shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday near campus, the Douglas County Sherriff’s Office said. He posted $100 bond and was released. He is due in court Dec. 23.

Rodriguez Coleman, a backup wide receiver, also was arrested early Sunday, posted $100 bond and was released. New coach David Beaty said he was handling the matter internally.

Chiefs’ Eric Berry diagnosed with cancer

Posted on December 8, 2014

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Chiefs safety Eric Berry has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease and will begin chemotherapy for what doctors called a “very treatable and potentially curable” form of cancer.

Hodgkin’s disease is a form of lymphoma originating in white blood cells.

Berry had been undergoing tests at Emory University in Atlanta since an MRI exam nearly two weeks ago showed a mass on the right side of his chest that was suspected to be lymphoma.

Berry said in a statement that he will “embrace this process and attack it the same way I do everything else in life. God has more than prepared me for it.”

The former All-Pro safety has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
