Buffaloes escape with win at Heights, 14-13

WICHITA - Sometimes, it is better to be late than never.Perhaps that is the way the Garden City High School football felt after waiting three-and-a-half hours to finish its Friday night football game on the road at Wichita Heights.The wait was more than worth it as the Buffs held Heights quarterback Zane Masterson short of the goal line on an attempted potential winning 2-point conversion with just 0:34 remaining to survive with a 14-13 triumph at Heights Stadium.The game came to a dramatic ending at 12:31 a.m.“It was certainly a strange night, and not the first time we’ve had an interruption to a game,” GCHS head coach Brian Hill said.

Buffalo boys’ nearly perfect in XC win at Hays

HAYS - On a nearly perfect September morning for running, Garden City High School’s boys’ cross country ran a nearly perfect race in claiming the team title at the Hays Invitational.The event was contested at the Ellis County Fairgrounds (site of the WAC Championship in October) and the Buffs found the 5-kilometer layout to their liking as they finished 1-2-3-4 and 6 to score 16 points, just one off the perfect score of 15.

GCHS volleyball goes 5-0 to win Liberal Invite

LIBERAL - Saturday was the day that Garden City High School volleyball coach Trista Bailey thought might happen at some point during the 2024 season.After starting the season with a 4-6 record and dropping four matches that went the full three sets, the Buffs rolled to a 5-0 record in winning the Liberal Invitational.In doing so, they won four matches in straight sets and then defeated Western Athletic Conference rival Dodge City in a three-setter, losing the first set 16-25 before taking the Demons in the next two, 25-21 and 25-14.Earlier in the day, the Buffs swept Colby (25-23, 25-23), Hugoton (25-13, 25-13), Liberal (25-15, 25-18) and Meade (25-17, 25-13).“We didn’t have a ton of turnaround time between our tough losses on Thursday (going 1-2) and our first serve on Saturday,” Bailey said.
