KINGSTON — Three games into the 2020 football season, the Hugo Buffaloes were still searching Friday night for an offensive scheme that could move the football down the field. With only a few days to prepare against a solid Kingston Redskins team, directed by former Hugo Buffalo coach Tommy Bare, the Buffaloes’ search for an offense came up woefully short, chalking up no first downs against Kingston and no completed passes for the second week in a row.

The Hugo Lady Buffaloes celebrated Senior Night recently. The first senior to be in the spotlight was Danie Osage.
