HUGO — The Hugo HMS eighthgrade Buffaloes extended their unbeaten season record Thursday with a solid 37-27 defeat over Broken Bow. Hugo’s opening deuce was promptly answered by a Broken Bow trey, but that would be the last time in the game the Savages would lead, as the Buffaloes turned up the heat on both ends of the floor.

HUGO — Hugo’s eighth-grade Buffaloes extended their unbeaten streak Monday evening with a sound 49-7 licking of the Antlers Bearcats. Coach Tanner Trent’s Buffaloes leaped out front in the first with a 9-4 advantage, and then turned up the heat on both ends of the court, booking 12 points and giving up zero, taking a sound 21-4 lead at half.

At the end of the third quarter, Idabel had a 15-point lead on the Buffaloes, and that’s when Warriors fans started to chant. “Scoreboard,” they yelled, over and over again.
