Garden City Buffaloes endure rough season in tough schedule
Garden City High School boys basketball finished 8-13 under coach Jeff Tanner after a season of late rallies. The Buffaloes fell to Dodge City in a 6A sub state and often trailed by double digits early before recovering. Nerves and early turnovers contributed as they faced eight top 10 KCABA ranked Western Athletic opponents.

Garden City Lady Buffaloes near .500 after steady rise
Garden City High School girls basketball coach Tara Churchill has guided the Lady Buffaloes from a 2-19 record over two seasons to an 8-13 finish last year and a 10-11 record this season. She aims higher but faces a large graduating class and rebuild with limited varsity experience. The JV went 15-7, and Churchill expects returning players and a growing freshman to lead next year.
