FINAL: (2) Hutchinson 53, (15) Salina Central 37

Turnovers told the story on Wednesday night in Hutchinson, as the 2-seed Salthawks forced Central into a bevy of giveaways, leading to a runaway win in the 5A Boys Sub-State.

Ethan Waters would lead Salina Central’s offense, scoring 19 points in his final game, more than half of the Central output as a whole.

Hutchinson’s Wade Meyer would pace the Salthawk offense, tallying 18 on offense. Terrell King would add 10 more for Hutch in the victory.

The Salthawks improved to 20-1 on the season, and will host Topeka West on Saturday night with a trip to State on the line.
