Rebels trounce to first-round playoff win

STAFF REPORT

Always known for its disciplined team defense, the Hays High School girls basketball team opened the state playoffs Tuesday night by holding Magnolia West to 11 second-half points in a 49-28 win at College Station.

The Rebels, 25-9, will play Beaumont Central Friday at a site to be determined.

Angeleigh Davis led Hays with 22 points, while Ashley Rankine threw in another 18 for the Rebels, who return those two players and many others from a group that advanced through the Region III playoffs to the state tournament last year.
