Four days before hosting the 2024 Western Athletic Conference championship, the Garden City High School volleyball team tuned up with a three-set sweep of league foe Liberal Tuesday on Senior Night at The Garden.The Buffs didn’t have to go through another marathon match in the straight-set best 3-of-5 sets (25-13, 25-9 25-22).

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.
MCPHERSON - After winning their first two matches on Saturday at the McPherson Invitational, the Garden City High School volleyball squad was unable to finish off the five-match marathon, falling in their final three matches.The 2-3 mark left the Buffs with a 17-12 season record and they will return home for a big week to cap off the regular season.
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.
There were multiple reasons for all the smiles from the Garden City High School girls’ golf team at the end of Thursday’s home invitational at Southwind Golf and Dining.First, the Buffs zoomed past their two Western Athletic Conference opponents – Hays and Dodge City – to not only win the invitational by a whopping 42 strokes, but in the process completed a perfect 5-for-5 WAC schedule to finish with 25 points to complete the dethroning of four-time defending champ Hays.Then, sophomore Brooke Savolt put together her career best tournament score, shooting a sizzling 3-over-par 74 on the tough Southwind layout to win the individual medalist by two shots over Amelia Bowles of Atwood-Rawlins County (76).Additionally, for a little icing on the cake, Ailynn Anderson (85), Breckyn Lucas (93) and Megan Burr (98) -- sophomores all – finished fourth, fifth and sixth in the individual standings, respectively.
DERBY - Despite not claiming any individual or doubles titles at Thursday’s Class 6A regional in Derby, the rock-solid Garden City High School girls’ tennis finished second as a team with 19 points to Maize’s winning 21 points.At the same time, Coach Logan Bevis’ recently-crowned Western Athletic Conference champions qualified both singles players and the two doubles teams for next week’s 6A state at Harmon Tennis Complex in Prairie Village.“Qualifying all six was one of our primary goals all season,” Bevis said.
LIBERAL - It has been a season of tough luck, hard knocks and close matches for the Garden City Buffaloes’ boys’ soccer team.Tuesday night at Western Athletic Conference opponent Liberal was another example of how the 2024 season has gone for GCHS Coach Jose Vital and his team.This time, it was 2-0 setback to the Redskins after the teams had played to a 1-1 tie two weeks earlier in Garden City.
