Not long after the Garden City High School football team finished its loss to Western Athletic Conference champion Great Bend on Friday night (42-6), they learned their Week 9 KSHSAA Play-In game would be against a familiar for in the Dodge City Red Demons.It had only been a week earlier when the Buffaloes lost the coveted Hatchet to the Demons at Dodge City (40-14), so perhaps an opportunity to avenge that loss will be the right prescription for a Buffaloes team that has struggled all season.The Buffs and Red Demons will kick-off their rematch (not for the Hatchet) at 7 p.m.
In a season of frustration at the ability to score goals, the Garden City Buffaloes’ boys’ soccer team scored the most goals of the year in Thursday night’s 3-0 non-conference victory over favored Wichita North at Buffalo Stadium.In what is now a 5-10-1 regular season record, the Buffs secured their first win by more than one goal and only for the second time all year, the match was decided by more than one goal.Now, the Buffs will await the official pairings to be announced on today, Oct.
It’s not quite like the winter bowling season, but the fall Unified Bowling schedule has a little bit of everything for the participants and the fans.Thursday at Hard Rock Lanes, the Buffs’ No.

DODGE CITY - Very rarely in his 15 years as head football coach at Garden City High School has Brian Hill’s Buffaloes lost a one-sided decision to rival Dodge City in The Hatchet Game.
PRAIRIE VILLAGE - The Class 6A state tournament is always a reality check for the Garden City High School tennis teams – girls or boys – and Friday’s first day at Prairie Village’s Harmon Tennis Complex was no exception.The Buffs did manage to secure three wins, all by their respective doubles teams, and finished in 16th place in the team standings out of the 23 teams entered.Still, the goal has always been to advance to Saturday’s final day with an opportunity to claim a medal among the top 12 finishers.
HAYS - If everything was going to run according to form, the Garden City High School’ boys’ cross country team and the Great Bend girls were the favorites to capture, respectively, each school’s fourth straight Western Athletic Conference title on Thursday at Hays’ Ellis County Fairgrounds.That’s exactly what happened.
Perhaps it was fitting that when the final matches of the 2024 Western Athletic Conference volleyball championship ended late afternoon Saturday Garden City High School occupied the runner-up spot to unbeaten Great Bend.While Great Bend’s Panthers were going through the round-robin unbeaten with a hard-fought 4-0 mark, the Buffaloes, rival Dodge City and Hays all finished with 2-2 records while Liberal was held winless at 0-4.The tiebreaker formula utilized to determine second, third and fourth, was calculate each team’s number of sets won divided by the number of sets played and the Buffs finished 6-of-11 (.545) while Hays was next with 5-of-10 (.500) and Dodge City after with 5-of-11 (.454), allowing the Buffs to take second, Hays third and the Red Demons fourth.The irony of the entire day for GCHS Coach Trista Bailey’s team was that after losing to rival Dodge City in the opening match of the day, four hours later they were on the court taking on Great Bend with a golden opportunity to win the WAC title for the first time since 2020.Things didn’t look rosy for the Buffs as they lost to their rival Demons in another three-set heart-stopper (25-7, 20-25, 20-25).
