The Hays Lady Rebels put on a dominating performance against the Akins Lady Eagles en route to a 63-21 win Tuesday Bales Gym.
The Lady Rebels held a 35-17 lead over Akins at the halftime break. Hays proceeded to allow only four more Lady Eagles points during the second half.
Throughout the game, the Lady Rebels dominated and overpowered the Eagles. The Rebels tried to steal every Eagle pass and aggressively attacked and put pressure on the ball at every point of the game.
Despite the success, Hays suffered from missed and overthrown passes. Several of those passes resulted in converted points for the Eagles.
The Lady Rebels’ defensive effort, however, suffocated the Eagle offense, minimizing the damage.
Lady Rebel sophomore Gabby Bosquez led the way with 18 points, while junior Choon Hee Chae scored 15. Lady Rebel junior Jada Finister finished with 12 points.
Hays head coach Danny Preuss said this was a good game for the Lady Rebels and he was happy to have been able to give every player on the roster some court time.
When asked to choose one word to describe the game, Preuss said “Victory.”
