Southeast prevails over GCHS boys in regional semis

WICHITA - In the final game of the regular season, the Garden City High School boys’ soccer team had scored three goals in a shutout of a good Wichita North squad.GCHS head coach Jose Vital had hoped that would provide an impetus and momentum for his hard-luck squad that had suffered through numerous one-goal losses during the 2024 campaign.When the Buffs headed to Wichita on Tuesday to face unbeaten but once-tied Wichita Southeast (15-0-1) in the Class 6A regional semifinals, Vital had every reason to think his team would be right in the mix of a potential upset.And with 20 minutes to play in regulation, GCHS and Golden Buffaloes were battling to a 0-0 standoff.But, in the final 19 minutes, the host Southeast squad scored twice and finished with that 2-0 advantage to bring the curtain down on perhaps one of the most frustrating and confounding seasons in recent history of the Buffs’ program.They finished the season with a 5-11-1 record, losing nine games by one goal, including two in overtime.

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.
