HAYS - Following three straight one-goal losses in defensive battles, the Hays High boys’ soccer team enjoyed a huge offensive show on its home field Saturday.
The Indians scored four goals in each half en route to an 8-1 non-conference win over Hesston.
Junior Ivan Maldonado exploded for four goals in the first half to give the Indians a 4-1 halftime lead.
HHS then got two goals from senior Kal Lonsdale in the second half, as well as one each from junior Cyler Luck and freshman Jack Schumacher, to account for the final margin.
The win helped even the Indians’ overall record at 5-5. They will be on the road Tuesday at Dodge City before entertaining Junction City in a home contest Thursday.
