Now 13-7-0 on the season, Hayden will play at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Wichita's Stryker Sports Complex against eight-time defending state champion Bishop Miege (15-5-0), which advanced to the state final with a 2-1 win at Rose Hill.

Hayden is the last school other than Miege to win the 4A-1A title, with the Wildcats capturing the 2015 crown. The Wildcats took a 1-0 double-overtime semifinal win over the Stags in 2015 en route to the title.
Bishop Miege and Hayden played earlier this season, with Miege taking a 4-0 victory at Hayden.
Katie Uhl scored the only goal the Wildcats would need against Louisburg off an assist from Reese Huscher before Hayden added an insurance goal on a penalty kick from Carsyn Broxterman.

Wamego won its third straight Class 4A team championship Wednesday at Newton's Sand Creek Station.
But it took a strong finish for the Red Raiders to survive a second-day rally from Hayden, with Wamego finishing with a three-stroke victory over the Wildcats (621-624) after starting the day with a seven-stroke advantage.

"Early in the round, it did not look good,'' Hayden coach Carvel Reynoldson told KSHSAA Covered. "We got down pretty big. But the fact that we stormed back and took the lead there on the second nine was fun.
"Credit Wamego. We didn't blow it. They stepped up."
Despite the fact that the Wildcats' title bid came up short, Reynoldson said he was extremely proud of his team.
"What I love about this group is it's hard to get them to go home before dark,'' Reynoldson said. "It's 6 o'clock and I'm heading home and they're still working. They really wanted this and to come up short hurts."
Senior James Kuta led Hayden with a fourth-place individual finish at 152 (77-75) while senior Tagen Rodriguez finished ninth at 156 (81-75).
