3. Hays High starts district play: The 6-0 Indians one of their biggest games in years when they host rival Great Bend (4-2) at Lewis Field Stadium on Friday night. If HHS wins, they’ll beat Great Bend for the first time in 9 years and win the WAC title for the first time since 2001, third time in school history (1990 was the first crown). To other streaks to watch, though: HHS has lost 9 straight games in district play. Last year, the Indians were outscored 153-7 in three district losses to Great Bend, Hutchinson and McPherson. While head coach Ryan Cornelsen has done a terrific job of turning around the Indian program and a win Friday would be monumental, even staying close in district play would represent significant progress.
