Lady Tigers come up short in Pittsburg

Posted on

Hays Post

Pittsburg State went on a 14-2 run over over a 6:10 stretch of the second to build a 12-point lead and never let Fort Hays State any closer than nine the rest of the way and defeat the Lady Tigers 74-60 Saturday afternoon at John Lance Arena in Pittsburg. The loss is FHSU’s second straight in conference play and drops them to 12-4 overall and 6-4 in the MIAA. Pitt improves to 13-6 and 6-3 in the conference.

The Gorillas led by five at the half, but FHSU scored the first five out of the locker room to tie the game a 39. A Kate Lehman basket tied the game at 45 but the Gorillas held the Tigers to two points over the next six-plus minutes and would lead by as many as 16.

The Tigers shot just 34-percent and were just 2-for-15 from beyond the arc but the most telling stat was rebounding where the Gorillas owned a 17 rebound advantage including 14 offensive boards.

Kate Lehman led the Lady Tigers with 17 points. Kate Lehman added 13. Lizzy Jeronimus scored 16 to lead PSU.

Indians Move On To Championship Game

Posted on

By Dustin Armbruster

Hays 42 – Manhattan 36

Wins sometimes come easy…sometimes it seems like even the rim wants you to lose.  When trying to move to 11-0 on the season, at some point the wins don’t come easy.  Friday night at the Dodge City Tournament of Champions semi-finals NOTHING came easy for Hays High.

Hays jumped out to an early 10-6 lead half way through the first quarter over Manhattan.  The Indians had several opportunities to pull away but a cold night shooting and an even worse night at the free throw line allowed Manhattan to take the lead early in the second quarter at 14-12.  Neither team was stellar in the first half and were tied at 17 a piece through the first two quarters.

Manhattan again lead by one or two points for a majority of the third quarter when Isaiah Nunnery and Jordan Windholz each hit a three pointer to give Hays a 26-21 lead heading into the fourth quarter.  Those two three gave Hays a lead they never let go of.

Manhattan hit a three to open the fourth, before Hays pushed the lead up to six again.  Manhattan again pushed back getting with in one at 34-33 with 2:30 to go in the game.  Manhattan started to foul Hays High, who had been terrible at the free throw line making just 6 of 15 attempts.  But over the final 2:21 Hays made 8 of 10 free throws and allowed just a single three point field goal allowing Hays to escape with a 42-36 win and stay undefeated at 11-0.  Manhattan falls to 7-3.

Hays was led by Jordan Windholz scoring 19.  He was the only player in the game to score in double figures.

Hays shot just 38% 12 of 32 and made just 4 of 16 threes.  Manhattan was 14 of 36 for 39% and 5 of 16 beyond the arc.  Hays made a living a the line finishing 14 of 25.  Manhattan was just 3 of 6.

Hays will play undefeated Wichita East in the finals of the tournament Saturday night at 6:00.  East is ranked #2 in 6A.  Hays is ranked #3 in 5A.

Lady Monarchs Fall to Goodland

Posted on

Goodland 35, TMP 27

Offensive struggles continued on Friday for the TMP Lady Monarchs in their 35-27 loss to Goodland in the consolation semi-finals of the 20th Annual Hillsboro Trojan Classic.  TMP scored only 12 first half points but trailed by only five points at half time.  Only four Lady Monarchs scored in the first half.

The third quarter was not kind to TMP either.  They were outscored seven to four and trailed 24 to 16 going into the fourth quarter.  The Lady Monarchs were able to get within six a couple of times but that would be as close as they would get the rest of the game.  Melissa Pfeifer led TMP with 10 points.  The Lady Monarchs will play the 7th Place game on Saturday at 11:30.

Hays High wins TOC opener

Hays Post

Hays 62 – Hutchinson 41
The final margin of Hays High’s opening round win over Hutchinson in the Dodge City Tournament of Champions was 21 points.  The game however was much closer than the score indicated.

Neither team scored over the first two minutes of the ball game when Kade Parker and Lane Clark hit back to back three pointers to take a 6-0 lead.  Hutchinson got with in one point at 8-7 but never was able to take the lead after Clark hit another three pointer, this one with three seconds left in the first quarter to give Hays a 14-9 lead.

The Indians turned that three pointer into a 13-2 run and lead by as many at 13 in the first half and settled for a ten point halftime lead 29-19.

Each team scored 11 points in the third quarter.  Eight of those points came from Brady Werth who had scored only six points in the first half and none in the first quarter.

Less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, Hays built their lead to 12, but Hutchinson scored six straight getting within six at 45-39 with 5:00 to go in the game.  That is when Hays High played their best ball of the night out scoring the Salthawks 17-2 rest of the way for the 62-41 win.

Brady Werth led the team with 26 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks.  Werth was 10-11 from the free throw line.  Lane Clark added 14 and was 4-5 on threes.

As a team Hays shot 59% in the second half and 46% for the game 18-39.  Hays was 7-18 on threes and made 19 of 22 free throws.  Hutchinson was 15-42 from the field for 36% and made 6 of 16 beyond the arc.  The Salthawks shot just 10 free throws and made 5.

Hays moves to 10-0 on the year and moves onto the semi-finals of the Tournament of Champions where they will take on Manhattan who upset #5 in 5A Wichita Heights in over time.

Hutchinson drops to 3-7.

Game time is set for 7:00 from the United Wireless Arena in Dodge City.

No. 6 Fort Hays State University fell, 33-12, to No. 4 Nebraska-Kearney in a home conference dual on Wednesday evening.

FHSU picked up wins from C.J. Napier (149), Jon Inman (184) and Trey Page (285) in the dual, but dropped to 6-4-1 on the year in its second Top 10 matchup in the last six days.  FHSU fell to No. 5 Central Oklahoma, last Thursday.

Napier’s victory was arguably the brightest spot of the evening, as he picked up an 8-7 decision over over second-ranked Brock Coutu.

Later in the dual, MIAA Wrestler of the Week Jon Inman pushed his win streak to seven matches with a pin over Matt Oliver at 3:42.

In the final match of the night, heavyweight Trey Page returned to the win column with a 4-2 decision against Kelsey Empting.
