Smith Returns To Field As Buffaloes Open Practice
Garden City High School football coach Mike Smith, recently sidelined by eye surgery, returns to morning drills with a nearly fully healthy squad. Senior Ryan Kramer will miss most of the season after a car crash left him with a dislocated hip, though he attends practice on crutches and remains committed. The Buffaloes aim for a Sept. 5 opener at Salina Central, as Smith emphasizes effort over mistakes during early workouts.
