Hays High Defeated on Senior Night
The Hays High Indians lost of the first time since week one of the season 35-6 to the Salina South Cougars. Both teams came in state ranked, Hays #3 and South #2. Both teams hadn’t lost since the first week, Hays to Junction City and South to Derby. Both teams were 1-0 in districts with a chance to win the district championship in just the second week.
The game started like everyone expected with each offense scoring early touchdowns. Hays started the game with the ball and converted on three third downs scoring on an Alex Delton run going up 6-0 after missing the extra point.
South answered back with a 46 yard drive, converting on two fourth downs, the second going for a 16 yard TD pass. The Cougar’s extra point put them up 7-6.
However, Hays could never answer the bell again and in fact would score again losing 35-6.
The back breaker came just before half time when the Indians turned the ball over on down on a dropped pass. South drove the field and scored with no time left on the clock going up 21-6 at half time.
Hays mustered just 147 yards of offense. South feasted on great field position all night and despite the 35 points had just 283 yards of offense.
The Indians drop to 6-2 overall and 1-1 in district play. South is 7-1 and 2-0 in district play.
South wins the district via a Salina Central 20-13 win over Great Bend.
Hays can still make the playoffs with a win over Salina Central next week….if Central wins they go to the playoffs.

Salina Gets Indoor Football Team
by Devin Hanney ~ Salina Post
The City of Salina will accept a bid from a local ownership group that includes Junction City businessmen Chris Vercher and Jake Leighty as well as former Salina Central Mustang and Kansas Jayhawk, Jake Sharp.
The group will enter into a five year lease with the City of Salina, and will field a team to compete in the newly formed Champions Professional Indoor Football League. The CPIFL will feature approximately 10 teams, all with mid-west roots. While the CPIFL is a newborn, most of the member teams are not. Some of the franchises, including teams from Wichita, Topeka, Sioux City and Sedalia, have been in existence for over 12 years.
Owner Chris Vercher tells Salina Post, the league and especially this team will always have the fans in mind. “The blueprint for the CPIFL is fan-friendly football. The fans are a major part of the game and we want to give them a quality team to root for without breaking the bank.” According to Vercher, projected ticket costs will be as low as nine dollars for adults with half-price tickets for children 12 and under.
There will also be special pricing for the “action seats” next to the wall that surrounds the field and V.I.P. seating will be available.
The newly formed team does need help with one thing, finding a mascot. According to Vercher, the Bi-center website will be hosting a contest to name the football team in the coming days. For more information on the CPIFL, you can visit their website at: CPIFL.org.
