As Native American Heritage Month has just slipped past us, I’d like to share the story of a football game played Nov. 9, 1912 between Army and Carlisle Indian School at West Point, N.Y. This is an epic story, and I hope I can do it justice.
Hugo News Sports The Buffaloes are off to a 1-2 start one week into the regular season after a double-overtime win over Henryetta and losses to Wright City and Broken Bow. Hugo kicked off the season with a nail-biting, 74-68 win over Henryetta before falling to Wright City, (43-38) and Broken Bow, (70-60) in the Broken Bow Classic.
Junior Calista Kelley was one of Hugo’s most consistent and confident shooters last season, and her return to the team in the spring will give the Buffs a big boost. But until then, the Buffaloes need to develop more shooters. There’s still some hesitation on offense that Vann hopes to correct before the Buffaloes start their string of tournaments, which begins with the Broken Bow tournament on Friday and Saturday.
Hugo News Sports HUGO — Last year, the Lady Buffaloes’ season ended after a hard-fought battle in the final game of the regional tournament. Just one win away from making it to area, the loss stayed with Hugo, and they’ve spent the offseason using it as motivation for this year. The goal: Make it to area and then to state.
