Buffalo Hoops: Week 2

Hardwood action took place in the Cimarron Bluejay Invitational Pre-Season tournament for both the Lady Buffaloes and Buffalo Men! Both teams started play on Tuesday taking on the Satanta Indians! The Lady Buffaloes managed to hang on to the lead winning the first round to advance them to the Semi-Finals against the Elite 8 South Gray Rebels. The Buffaloes hung tight with the Rebels for the first half but South Gray came out in the 2nd half and took the win. This put the Lady Buffaloes up against Bucklin for the 3rd/4th Place game! They finished with 4th place! Congratulations to Hannah Hoffman for making the All-Tournament Team and also winning the 3 point contest!



In boys action, the Buffaloes defeated Satanta in first round action to also put them in the Semi-Finals against the South Gray Rebels. Both teams were very evenly matched and it came down to the wire to determine a winner. Kellen Hernandez drained a 3 pointer to tie the game but the Rebels were able to get the ball in bounds and down the court to hit a layup with 2 seconds left to take the win! This put the Buffaloes in the 3rd/4th place game against the Deerfield Spartans. Both teams battled evenly in the first half with the score being very close. Second half action saw the Buffaloes widen the gap and finally pull ahead to secure the 3rd place victory. Congratulations to Taylor Headrick and Kyle Ross(who was also named Tournament MVP) for making the All-Tournament Team!




Week 3 action finally gives the Buffaloes their only home game before the Christmas Holiday! Tuesday they will host the Bucklin Red Aces and Friday they will travel to Mullinville to take on the Haviland Dragons. Come Support your Buffalo teams!
