Hays, Kan-Week four games are rarely make-or-break games; that’s in a normal year. But this is anything but a normal year for Brian Hill’s team.
Garden City will try and avoid a 1-3 start Friday night when they hit the road for a conference showdown with Hays.
The Buffaloes are coming off a stinging three-point home defeat to Great Bend. But if you think running only 41 plays and having the ball for only 11 minutes hurts, try having the ball in the final minute, in a tie game, with a chance to win after you defense made a big-time play.
Such was the scenario in 2012 when Garden City’s defense held Hays out of the end zone with under 60 seconds to play only to be right back out there when Greyson Tempel was intercepted by Emilio Mitchell. That turnover set up Alex Delton’s game-winning touchdown.
In 2013, the two teams come in on totally different paths. While Hays’ potent ground game outlasted offensive juggernaut Liberal in week three-giving the Indians a 3-0 start for just the 15th time in the program’s rocky history, the Buffaloes defense was on the field for nearly 40 minutes in a three-point loss to Bo Black. They’ll remember that.
And remember this, when Garden and Hays get together, there’s usually plenty of fireworks.
Series Notes: 37th straight year the two teams are playing; Indians have won six out of the last eight…five of the last seven meetings decided by three points or less
