Coming off a big win against Abilene a night earlier, the Hays High School girls’ basketball team struggled to keep that momentum going Friday night against Dodge City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Red Demons were able to claim a 60-31 win in WAC play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hays high started out with lockdown defense on Dodge City, keeping it a close first quarter. The Indians went into the second period only trailing 17-13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Indian defense struggled to slow down Dodge City, and the Red Demons stretched the lead to 16 at halftime, 31-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baskets were hard to come by for HHS in the third quarter, and Dodge City stretched its lead. The Red Demons moved out to a 46-21 margin entering the final period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dodge City stayed strong in the fourth quarter, spoiling Hays High’s Senior Night by taking the 29-point victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indians (6-14) earned the No. 15 seed in the Class 5A West sub-state bracket and will play at No. 2 seed Andover Central (19-1) at 7 p.m. Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
