WICHITA - Hays High was in Wichita for Sub-State Championship basketball on Saturday to play the top seed in 5A West Kapaun Mt. Carmel.
Hays grabbed an early six point lead but a 17-2 Kapaun run put the Crusaders up for good winning 75-46 over Hays.
The Indians made five of their first six field goals and grabbed a 12-6 lead on their second three pointer in the first four minutes. The offense though went dry for Hays as they missed their next five field goal attempts and made just two of six free throws over the next 6:15.
