GCHS stomps Hays in soccer season opener; volleyball splits

Hays, KS (westernkansasnews.com)-The high school soccer season usually starts with a feeling out process. That wasn’t exactly the case Tuesday night. 

The Buffaloes built a 2-0 halftime leading before adding four more goals in the final 40 minutes to beat Hays 6-1. 

“Started slowly, but we definitely finished strong,” senior midfielder Miguel Hernandez said.

Hernandez scored in the 59th minute, but the damage was done much earlier. 

Alex Morales netted two first-half goals and added the hat trick in the 51st minute. Jose Herrera and Jesus Vasquez also scored. 

Garden City outshot Hays 20-8.
