Out of reach: Reagan muscles past Hays 5-1

In the face of what could have been a bittersweet moment Friday, Hays Rebel senior forward Maya Hood showed a broad smile.

After enduring 71-plus minutes of a physically dominant San Antonio Reagan Rattler back line, Hood fought to score the Rebels’ lone goal in a 5-1 bidistrict playoff round loss.

But there was a silver lining beyond the end of the season and beyond Hood’s last goal of her high school career.
