The Austin High Maroons defeated the Hays Rebels 35-34 Friday on homecoming night. 

Maroon quarterback Beau Kahlbacher led his team on a 94-yard drive and scored on a wild play in the waning moments.  

The Rebels scored early and often, but Austin answered every time. 

The difference in the game was two missed extra points. Cody Gandy ran for four touchdowns for Hays, while Braeden Kent ran for a score and converted a passing play for a two-point conversion. 

Before many in attenda...
