The Hays High School girls’ basketball team took the home court Tuesday against the Salina South Cougars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A slow start left the Indians playing from behind most of the game en route to a 44-34 loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hays High started the night slow, only scoring six points in the first quarter compared to Salina’s 17. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indians still were not able to grasp a lead against the Cougars in the second period, scoring only five points while trailing 26-11 at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still struggling to score against the defensive, the Indians went into the last quarter of the game trailing 38-18. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hays High tried to chip into the margin, but came as close as 10 points at the final buzzer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junior Maia Lummus lead the Indians with eight points, and freshman Carly Lang followed with seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indians are on the road Friday for WAC play at Dodge City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
