Georgetown soars past Hays 49-40

By Ryan Mayner 

The Hays High Rebels fought hard but lost 49-40 to the Georgetown Eagles Friday night in a non-district matchup at Bob Shelton Stadium. Fans who waited patiently outside the stadium during a 30-minute weather delay due to lightning were treated to an exciting back and forth contest between these two playoff hopefuls that lasted until almost 11 p.m. 

Both offenses proved capable of scoring almost at will through the air and on the ground. Each team played inspired defense, forcing six turnovers and making several hard hits. But in the end the offenses had their way on what was a high-scoring high school football weekend all over Texas.
