GREAT BEND — In a rivalry game Friday night on the road, the Hays High School football team ran wild against Great Bend in Western Athletic Conference action to claim a 43-14 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hays High (2-0) started the offensive firepower early when Jaren Kanak scored on a long run on the Indians’ first offensive play of the game. Dalyn Schwartz caught a pass for the two-point conversion, giving HHS an early 8-0 advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the night belonged to backup quarterback Jordan Dale. The junior bolted down the sideline for a long TD run on the Indians’ next possession. The PAT kick by Jack Fields made it 15-0 before the second quarter.

Running back Roy Moroni got into the endzone a few minutes later for HHS, but a holding call negated the score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That didn’t stop the Indians from scoring, though. On the next play, Dale found paydirt once again, and the PAT by Fields made it 22-0 in the first quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An interception by HHS’s Brett Orth gave the ball back to the Indians at the beginning of the second quarter. But Hays High threw an interception to give the Panthers (0-2) the ball back with nine minutes remaining in the second quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great Bend finally found some offense, scoring twice before halftime to make it 22-14 entering the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming out of halftime, Dale didn\u2019t slow down, scoring on another quarterback keeper on the team’s first possession of the third quarter. Fields’ PAT made it 29-14. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dale then showcased his throwing skills, connecting with Carson Kieffer for a 65-yard catch and run to make it 35-14 early in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dale put the game out of reach with a 40-yard scoring scamper in the final period as well. The PAT by Fields was good, making it 43-14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dale finished with 229 rushing yards and four touchdowns, as well as the passing TD to Kieffer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hays High finished with 406 total yards of offense as a team.
