This is the 79th meeting between Hays and Dodge City. The Red Demons hold a 51-26-1 advantage in the series…even after Hays has won the last three games. This is the second most played series for Hays High behind the now 86 games with Great Bend and ahead of the 63 played against Garden City.
The two played a pair of games in 1932 and 1933…Dodge City won both. According to our Hays High records the two didn’t play again until 1944…Dodge City has that the two played in 1940 and 1941. The two however agree that the series resumed in 1944 through 1973…taking a three year break from 1974 through 1976…then playing every year since 1977.
Dodge City long dominated this series winning 29 of 32 from 1965 through 1989. In the remaining 46 games Hays High actually has a one game edge at 23-22-1. The most continues success the Indians have against Dodge City was from 1999 through 2004 when Hays won six in a row…it is just one of two stretches that Hays has won four or more straight games against Dodge City…the other from 2011 through 2014. Hays can make that a third occurrence tonight as the Indians have won three in a row against the Red Demons.
