The last Boys Semi-Final game in Hays for the 4A Division I Sub-State saw the home team Indians facing the Crusaders of Buhler.
Both teams traded leads and tied scores throughout the First Half. Hays took a one point lead into the locker room at Half. When they came back out, they took over the game and never fell below a five point difference the rest of the game as they won 60 to 53.
Hays will now face McPherson for the Sub-State Championship and a State Tournament berth.
Below are some of the pictures I took at the game:
