A trio of players in double figures Friday guided the Hays Lady Rebels to a dominating 64-38 win over the Anderson Lady Trojans at Bales Gym.
Lady Rebel senior Karlie Schroeder led all scorers with 18 points. Junior Tara Ramsey contributed 14 points and junior Amanda Benjamin scored 10 points.

Hays led 18-7 after the first quarter and held a 27-11 halftime advantage.
The Lady Rebels slammed on the accelerator in the third frame, outscoring Anderson 19-8 to take a 46-19 lead into the fourth quarter.
