The Buffaloes fell to Kingston, 50-33 on Saturday afternoon after a slow start. Hugo has a reputation for fighting its way back into games and pushing teams to compete until the final buzzer.

Hugo News Sports Hugo’s Lady Buffaloes fell to Kingston, 64-37 Saturday afternoon in a game that highlighted a seasonlong issue for Hugo. While the Buffs have shown great strides from the beginning of the season to now, one persistent problem has been their inability to play complete games. More often than not, Hugo’s games are tales of two halves. Against Kingston, the Lady Buffs put up just 10 points in the first half before their scoring picked up in the third quarter. They were able to score 27 in the final two quarters, but Kingston had already amassed such a lead that there wasn’t much chance of Hugo mounting a comeback.
