Hays Handles Redskins

On this night, Hays had too much speed, too much depth, too much length, and too many weapons.  Liberal’s Redskins had too few answers on a night when they shot 38 percent from the field and lost 74-56 at Hays in the WAC opener against the Indians.

The Indians, who rotate five players off the bench, built leads of 9-0, 14-2, and 29-7.  The Redskins found themselves in a 36-19 hole at the half.  Hays led 56-34 after three.  Tristan Bigham scored 18 in the loss.  The loss snaps a three game win streak against the Indians.  Liberal had also won three of the last four and two straight at Hays.

Liberal is 3-4 and 0-1 in the WAC while the Indians are 5-2 and 1-0.  The Redskins play at Garden City Tuesday night at about 7:45 on 1270 and kscbnews.net.
