7th A started the day off against Great Bend. Great Bend started the game
off quick and built a quick lead against Seymour in the first quarter. The
Apaches were without one of its starters DeLaCruz due to an illness.
Seymour got in foul trouble early and was never able to recover. Erek Lira

of the half. Great Bend built a 22-5 lead at Halftime. The second half
started without much scoring and Apaches struggled to score the rest of the
way. Great Bend ended up winning the game 37-9.
In the second game of the day Apaches went up against a power in Hays. The
game started out slow in a 2-2 tie midway through the first before Hays
found its groove. Hays ended the quarter 2-12. The Apaches found some
offense in the second quarter but still trailed by 19 at the half. Apaches
went with different lineups to try and find offense but the Hays defense
was too tough. Hays would go on to win the game 13-41.
