Hays Hawks
Out of reach: Rebels fall to Vandegrift to end playoff dreams
The stands at Monroe Stadium in Leander were emptying when the Hays Rebel football team began paying tribute to its senior class Friday.
Even as stadium officials were starting to clear the field, the Rebel seniors got their chance to shake hands, and maybe shed a tear or two, with coaches, teammates and parents.
It was all done with the knowledge that Hays’ slim playoff hopes had ended following a gut-wrenching 27-16 loss to the Vandegrift Vipers.
