Buffs bowling teams show contrasting experience levels
Garden City High School opens the 2012 season at the Wichita Bishop Carroll tournament under coach Kip Nichols. The Lady Buffs boast four returning varsity players led by state runner-up Rikkie Hemmert, who claimed a 664 series last season, while the boys’ squad has only one returning varsity bowler, Juan Ramirez, as two others faced academic ineligibility or enrollment issues. The team emphasizes translating practice to competition as they mature.
