Behind solid defensive play and three players scoring in double figures Friday, the Hays Rebels basketball team notched its first district victory by crushing the Akins Eagles 67-31 at Bales Gym.
“Every win is a good win, but we are trying to focus on having good practices,” Hays head coach Mathew Sandoval said after the victory. “So that being said, the senior leadership and working hard everyday, we just want to continue to hold serve on that end. We talk about the way you practice is the way you play.”
Rebels senior power forward Carlos Rocha led the team in scoring with 12 points, while also adding five rebounds, four assists and two steals to the stat sheet. Rocha showed off his shooting range by hitting 3-of-4 three point shots.
