Manhattan High Girls Fall At Home To Undefeated Hays

The Hays City Shootout from all of two weeks ago not only cracked a seal on 2024-25 basketball but also portended an early-season matchup of top-10 girls basketball teams. Hays seized the shootout title when it slipped past Life Prep, the same team that tipped Manhattan to open the season's long grind.

On Friday night, Class 6A no. 10-ranked MHS saw chances to pop those unbeaten Hays Indians evaporate in the game's final four minutes of a 56-48 setback. Hays (6-0; 5A no. 5) turned to situational sub Zoe Winter for 11 crucial fourth-quarter points as the Tribe could not deny the solid forward on low block touches.

Hays did dirty work inside to realize advantages when MHS (4-2) had just enough empty trips.

"That was big, those second shots," Manhattan High coach Scott Mall said. "We got some fouls, they got some baskets. We need to keep working and try to get better at defensive boards, about grabbing the ball. We battled the whole way. It was big down the stretch when Bailey Busch got into foul trouble, they went inside at her."

Winter stepped out for a successful 3-point attempt which was HHS' lone answer to three straight Manhattan baskets. Her launch sandwiched a cold-blooded 3-pointer by MHS sophomore Bailey Busch and Delaney Larson's confident left-lane runner. Larson's bucket left the game tied at 47 apiece with 4:00 showing before Winter flexed her authority.

Busch dodged early foul trouble and Larson carried a sizeable load to finish with 13 points. Hays pounded the glass for a pair of putbacks, one each in third and fourth periods and earned 14 points in 26 free throw tries, many of which followed those offensive grabs.

Winter's total showed 14 points after Molly Martin held Hays steady early with all 12 points in the opening 16:00 before a turned ankle set her aside for long periods.

The game featured 18 lead changes and a dozen ties, but the final 3:00 was all about Hays and an ability to remain undefeated. MHS, 4-2, is idle until a Jan. 10 home date against Topeka.
