Sophomore Carly Lang looks for an open teammate while in bounding the ball in the game against Thomas More Prep during the Hays City Shootout on Dec. 5.

On Jan. 8, the girls basketball team took the long trip to Liberal and lost 42-26.

In the first quarter, the Indians were able to keep Liberal within reach while leading four times, but Hays High finished the first quarter behind, 13-10.

The lady Indians never led in the second quarter and went into halftime trailing the Redskins, 23-14.

In the third quarter, the lady Indians trailed, bringing the score to 27-20, before a fourth-quarter 13-0 run from Liberal set the lady Indians behind even more.

The Indians move to 1-5 on the season and 0-2 in conference play. They will travel to Great Bend on Jan. 12 to take on the Panthers in hopes of bettering their record.
