Hays’ offensive struggles and sloppy play in the fourth quarter was too much to overcome in its 45-32 loss to the Lake Travis Cavaliers on Tuesday night at Bales Gym.
“We’ve got to make shots and we’ve got to rebound,” Hays head coach Matthew Sandoval said about the loss. “At the end of the day we didn’t rebound.”
The Rebels entered the final quarter down 29-25, but an offensive collapse due to Lake Travis’ stingy 2-3 zone defense limited Hays to scoring only seven points in the final eight minutes of play. Not only did Hays’ offense have trouble getting the ball into the paint, but the team also struggled shooting from beyond the arc and getting offensive rebounds for second chance opportunities.
