"Felt great," VYPE Player of the Game Luke Watson said of the boys basketball sweep. "Playing Lehman all four years [and] finish out with two good wins."
The Hays boys (18-9, 7-5) leaned on Watson's game-high 17 points to stay in the mix for a 25-6A playoff spot with four district games remaining in the regular season. He had strong starts to both halves and set up important Rebel runs. It started with his seven points in the opening quarter, which paved the way to an early 16-4 advantage. Kyle Lehman (13-16, 3-9) did answer with a 12-5 surge to cut the difference to five in the second period, but seven more Watson points in the third frame and an 11-0 Rebels' start to the second half put an end to the Lobos' comeback attempt.
"I knew Lehman was going to be a tough game," said Watson. "They're a big rival, so I thought I'd come out there, bring a lot of energy, try to get my team going with a few shots and [it] worked out."
Hays also got 13 points from Caden Doyle and 11 from Durand Hill, while Jarek Salinas led Kyle Lehman with 13.
