Sensing a chance to thin the crowd battling for 25-6A playoff spots Tuesday, the Hays Rebel boys basketball team wasn’t coy in slamming the door on the Austin Maroons.

With the win, Hays now holds sole possession of the final playoff spot out of 25-6A with five games left, while also placing Austin High, which is one of seven teams fighting for the final three district playoff slots, on the brink of elimination.
Even with several key tests still to come, Hill felt confident things were starting to turn in the Rebels’ favor.
