MURPHY’S LAW: Photographs bring back memories of Halloweens past

When your kids get older you forget how quickly they grew up.My wife was sharing some old Halloween photos at the request of our daughter-in-law, Anna, and seeing Claire and Alek dressed up when they were just kids was a nice trip back in time.My grandkids are now in that growing-up-so-fast stage, when they go from birth to walking and talking in a minute.Lyla is three, and Linus 1 1/2 years old, and looking back at photos of them it seems time has accelerated.It seems one day they were babies, and now they are walking all over the place, learning new things every day, and growing into these amazing little people.When your kids become adults and have their own families, it’s less about how fast they grew up, and more about their age.My kids and their spouses are in their 30s, which may seem old to them, like turning 30 seemed old to me.We all look at our lives and wonder how we got here so fast.Sixty-two years went by in a hurry.

GCHS football routs Wichita Southeast, 48-0

It had been a rough four weeks for the Garden City High School football team.They had barely beaten a winless Wichita Heights team on the road, 14-13, then lost to Western Athletic Conference foes Hays and Liberal to see their season record dip to 1-4.On Friday night, though, for the 2024 Homecoming match-up against another winless Wichita team – Southeast – the Buffaloes found the right elixir to cure their ills in a 48-0 romp over the Golden Buffaloes.It was a night for the home ‘herd’ to run wild – and they did and it didn’t take long for them to get out of the pen.On the first scrimmage play of the game after the Buffs took the opening kickoff, sophomore Ryder Carr zipped around right end, cut back once and outraced the other buffaloes to the end zone on a 64-yard scamper.

Buffaloes slip by Great Bend, 2-1, in WAC action

GREAT BEND - There has not been much breathing room on either side of the scoreboard for the Garden City High School boys’ soccer team during the 2024 season.With Thursday night’s 2-1 squeaker on the road against Great Bend’s Panthers, this time producing a victory for the tough-luck Buffs, it improved their season record to 4-8-1 overall and 3-3-1 in the Western Athletic Conference.In the 13 matches to date, only a 2-0 road loss two days earlier in Liberal had produced more than a one-goal difference in the outcome.
