Barnett pulls in Buffaloes first interception for 2020! GENE NESBIT STADIUM — In the week preceding the Hugo Buffaloes’ opening home game of the season, head coach David Barker said this year’s Buffalo defense is the best he has coached in his 15 years of coaching. The Buffalo defense backed up Coach Barker’s statement Friday night, denying a good Dickson football team access to the Hugo end zone and posting a 22-2 nonconference win.

Hugo football coach David Barker says the Buffaloes are primed and ready to tee it up against his old alma mater — the Dickson Comets — at Gene Nesbit Stadium Friday night. Barker said the Comets will bring a quick and athletic junior quarterback to lead their offense that likes to spread-it-out with as many as five receivers, including one speed-burner, on a play.

More than $9,700 was raised for the Hugo Football program through the auction of pies that found both willing... and unwilling faces last week! According to Coach David Barker, Football raised $8,270 and Cheer raised $1,515. Some pies brought more than $1,700. Great job Coach & Fans!
