Critical points scored down the stretch led the Hays Rebels to a hard-fought 72-65 upset win over the Vista Ridge Rangers Tuesday at Bales Gym.
The opening quarter was a defensive battle as neither team was able to generate offense. Rebel senior Piercen Hoekstra scored the first two points of the game off an assist from Sophomore Carlos Rocha. The Rebels tried to feed the post early by going to Hoekstra, but was limited by a formidable Ranger backcourt.
After a series of back-and-forth possessions, Vista Ridge held a 13-11 lead after the first quarter.
