Hays 21-0 With Sub-State Win

Posted on March 5, 2014

By Dustin Armbruster

It took Hays High 2:30 minutes to score in the opening round of sub-state against Wichita West on Wednesday night. A Jordan Windholz three pointer gave Hays their first points of the game and Hays never trailed winning 68-43 over the Pioneers. Leading 14-11 with 2:00 left in the first quarter, Hays went on a 10-0 run extending into the second quarter jumping out to a 13 point lead. The Indians hit 12 of their final 14 shots in the first half to lead 41-23 at half time.

West could never mount a serious second half run and Hays cruised through the second half for the 25 point win.

Brady Werth led the Indians with 19 points, 15 in the first half. Jordan Windholz scored 15 and tied his career high in rebounding with 8. Clayton Riedel came off the bench to tie his season best with 13.

The Indians shot 60% in the game making 26 of 43 shots. West shot just 26% at 14 of 53. The only negative mark for Hays was their 18 turnovers.

West ends their season at 3-18. Hays is now 21-0 and will play 8-13 Bishop Carroll who beat Great Bend 67-41. The game will be played at Hays High School. The time will be determined on Thursday.

Tigers Hold Steady at No. 6 in Central Region Rankings

Posted on March 5, 2014March 6, 2014

FHSU Sports Information
Fort Hays State men’s basketball held its position for the third straight week in the NCAA Division II Central Region Rankings, released on Wednesday (Mar. 5). Fort Hays State checks in at No. 6 once again, heading into the MIAA Tournament in Kansas City.

The Tigers were No. 6 in the first set of rankings, released on Feb. 19, and have held that position ever since. Also holding steady this week was Winona State at No. 5 and Arkansas Tech at No. 7. With a win over current No. 4 region ranked Northwest Missouri State this past weekend, Central Missouri takes over the top spot in the rankings this week, leaping current No. 2 Minnesota State-Mankato. Missouri Southern jumped from fifth to third this week.

There has been constant shake up in the teams listed in the No. 8 through No. 10 spots. Washburn jumped in at No. 8 this week after not being in the previous rankings, but it will be hard for the Ichabods to survive staying in that spot after losing in the opening round of the MIAA Tournament to Northeastern State. Minnesota State-Moorhead, a NSIC Tournament semifinalist, is No. 9 this week and Arkansas-Monticello debuts at No. 10 on the list this week.

The Tigers are looking for their sixth NCAA Tournament appearance under head coach Mark Johnson, now in his 13th year.

Below are the Central Region Rankings for Wednesday, March 5…

Rk	Team	DII Record	In-Region Record
1	Central Missouri	20-4	20-3
2	Minnesota State-Mankato	23-4	22-3
3	Missouri Southern State	18-5	16-5
4	Northwest Missouri State	18-7	18-6
5	Winona State	21-5	21-5
6	Fort Hays State	20-6	20-6
7	Arkansas Tech	19-7	19-7

FHSU Women up one spot to No. 9 in Central Region rankings

Posted on March 5, 2014March 6, 2014

FHSU Sports Information
Fort Hays State Women’s Basketball moved up one spot to No. 9 in the third version of the NCAA Central Region rankings, released Wednesday (March 5). Eight teams are selected to play in the Central Regional of the NCAA Tournament at the end of the season, but automatic bids are given to teams that win conference postseason tournaments.

The Tigers (20-7, 12-7 MIAA), ranked 10th in the previous two rankings, filled the ninth spot, previously held by Minot State (which dropped out of the rankings). FHSU is 16-7 against NCAA Divison II teams – with all matchups coming against regional opponents.

At the top of the poll, Harding and Emporia State swapped first and second positions, as Central Missouri, Wayne State (Neb.) and PIttsburg State rounded out the top 5. NSIC teams Minnesota State, Northern State and Concordia-St. Paul (which won the NSIC Tournament) are slotted sixth through eighth. CSP earned an automatic bid to the regional tournament with the postseason title. MIAA foe Missouri Southern re-entered the rankings at No. 10 after falling out last week.

FHSU and MSSU square off in the quarterfinals of the MIAA Tournament on Thursday, March 6 in Kansas City, Mo.

Eight teams will be selected to the NCAA Tournament from the region, but three automatic bids will be at stake from the MIAA, NSIC, and GAC. Teams outside the top 10 of the region rankings could steal a bid to the tournament by winning their conference tournament.

Rank	Team	In-Region	DII Record
1	Harding	24-1	26-1
2	Emporia State	20-3	22-3
3	Central Missouri	20-3	22-3

5	Pittsburg State	21-4	22-6
6	Minnesota State-Mankato	20-5	22-5
7	Northern State	21-5	21-5
8	Concordia-St. Paul	21-8	22-8
9	Fort Hays State	16-7	16-7
10	Missouri Southern	16-7	16-7

Lady Monarchs end season with loss in Phillipsburg

Posted on March 4, 2014March 5, 2014

Hays Post

Phillipsburg 70, TMP 43
The Phillipsburg Lady Panthers started Tuesday’s 3A Sub-State opener against TMP on a six to nothing run and didn’t look back as they went on to the 70-43 victory. TMP trailed by as many as 11 in the first quarter but slowly closed the gap and cut the Lady Panther lead to five after an early second quarter bucket. Phillipsburg would push the lead to 13 midway through the second and the Lady Monarchs responded again, cutting the lead to seven at 32-25.

Phillipsburg pushed back with two quick buckets in the final 30 seconds of the first half to stretch the lead to double digits once again, 36-25. The Lady Panthers continued their run at the start of the third quarter with the first six points and TMP was not able to recover. Megan Koenigsman led TMP with 20 points and Madyson Koerner chipped in with 12. TMP finishes their season at seven and 14. Phillipsburg improves to 16 and five and will take on Lyons in the semifinals on Friday. The winner of that game will face the winner of Ellsworth and Minneapolis on Saturday for the sub-state title.

HOISINGTON — Zach Baird has been named football coach at Hoisington High School. Baird replaces Jason Ingram, whose coaching contract was not renewed after the 2013 season.

Baird has been defensive coordinator for the Cardinals the past three seasons. He played high school football at Hoisington before going to Kansas State as a gray shirt. He finished his career at Fort Hays State University.

Ingram went 9-10 in his two years as the Cardinals head coach, leading Hoisington to the 3A playoffs both seasons.
