Successful Greybeards: Clemens and Henderson Defy Retirement

Clemens, 41, anchors the Astros with a 5-0 start and superior ERA and WHIP, while Henderson, 45, staged a comeback with the Newark Bears and later joined the Dodgers in a hopeful late-season bid. Both defy critics by performing on their own terms, inspiring fans with persistent drive and longevity.

Garden City Buffaloes chase WAC title and home swing
Garden City ranked No. 4 in 6A faces a key test as it must sweep No. 1 Great Bend in next Tuesday’s doubleheader to claim the Western Athletic Conference crown. Coach Brad Bascue says undefeated Great Bend stands in the way. The Buffaloes also host Derby this weekend and look to rebound after a rough doubleheader with Liberal. The softball squad, still seeking a breakthrough, sits at 8-6 as it eyes top contenders, with losses spread against strong 5A and 6A programs. Led by Melinda Williams’s occasional scoring with injuries limiting her, the Lady Buffs’ defense and team depth are rising.
