High School March Madness

March Madness is here and Sub-State action across the state of Kansas kicks off this week! First round boys action brought the Oakley Plainsmen to Buffalo Country as the #7 seed. The Buffaloes started the game off right and jumped out to an early 17-3 lead! However, the Plainsmen were not about to give up and came fighting back to take the lead by one in the second quarter. The Buffalo men didn't allow them to get too far ahead and eventually tied the game at 19. The Buffaloes had the last possession before the half and Kellan Hernandez drained a 3 pointer and was fouled on the shot. The extra point was good and this took the Buffaloes to the locker room with a 4 point lead at half. Both teams came out the 2nd half looking for the win, but the Buffaloes were able to pull ahead and and finally found themselves with a comfortable lead the second half. Final Score Meade 67-Oakley 54.

The next round will take the Buffaloes to Johnson-Stanton County on Thursday night! They will take on the winner of the Sublette vs. Stanton County game which is being played tonight! Game time is not determined at this time! We hope to see you there!

Girls 2A action starts tonight with the Lady Buffaloes traveling to Elkhart! Good Luck Girls!
