Charged Churchill overpowers Hays to close season

Struggles in matching the explosive energy of its opponent brought the Hays Rebels’ 2017 season to a swift close Tuesday in Dripping Springs.

Continued and sustained ferocity from an experienced San Antonio Churchill Charger squad proved too much for Hays to handle in a 25-22, 25-18, 25-15 defeat in the bidistrict round of the playoffs in Dripping Springs.

“We did some good things, but doing good things in the 6A playoffs isn’t good enough to win,” Hays Rebel head coach Stephanie Coates said. “You have to be able to execute your game plan and you have to be able to stay focused.”
