A rumbling Hays Rebels run game amassed more than 400 rushing yards and six touchdowns in a key 45-37 road win Friday over Vista Ridge (4-4), inching the Rebels closer to a fourth place district finish and potential playoff bid.
The dynamic duo of senior running back Cade Powell and junior running back Thailand Mayberry was explosive behind an experienced offense line that continually opened up running lanes against the Vista Ridge defense.
Mayberry led the team in rushing on the night with 220 yards on 20 carries, while also adding 4 rushing touchdowns. Powell carried the ball 17 times for 132 yards and had one touchdown.
