A week after the Kansas Association of Baseball Coaches released their All-State teams, the Kansas Softball Coaches have released theirs yesterday and once again, two Buffaloes find themselves on the team. Junior Abbie Ringel was named to the 2nd Team as an infielder, her first All-State designation. The Onaga first baseman finished second on the team in batting average after hitting .435 on the year. She also finished in the top three in slugging, hits, doubles, and homeruns. The cleanup hitter for the Buffaloes finished top 10 in the state in 2-1A in homeruns, and her RBIs ranked in the top 20. Joining Abbie on the 2nd Team is Willow Hochstedler as a pitcher, which is also her first All-State honor. The sophomore finished with an 11-2 record, the top mark on the team and the second most wins of all pitchers in Kansas's 2-1A division. She also finished third in the state in ERA (1.96) and strikeouts (130). Congratulations to both Abbie and Willow on your All-State designations, and on great seasons! GO BUFFALOES!!!

With the state tournament concluding over the weekend, the Kansas Association of Baseball Coaches released their All-State teams yesterday and two Buffaloes find themselves on the list. Senior Jackson Kolterman made the 1st Team for the second year in a row, this time as a pitcher. The senior finished top 5 in the state in 2-1A in both ERA (1.13) and strikeouts (88), setting the school's single-season record for both categories while also setting the single-season record for opponent batting average (.154). Jackson finished tops on the school's career pitching lists for appearances (42), ERA (2.21), WHIP (1.255), and opponent batting average (.191). He also pitched two no-hitters over the last two seasons, and is second in school history for strikeouts in a game with 13, which he actually did twice this year against both Blue Valley and St. Marys Academy. At the plate, Jackson set 15 single-season school records over the last three years out of the 18 that the team tracks. He also now holds 12 of 18 Onaga career records including hits (132), triples (9), home runs (17), RBIs (95), runs (148), total bases (222), and extra-base hits (47). He also finished second in program history in the 6 other categories with stolen bases (75), doubles (20), OPS (1.338), slugging (.769), OBP (.569), and batting average (.455). A week ago Jackson became the first player in Twin Valley League history to earn 1st Team All-League honors all four years. After earning Honorable Mention All-State honors as a freshman, 2nd Team as a sophomore, and 1st Team as both a junior and senior, he becomes the first Buffalo player to earn All-State honors all four years as well. With his selection to the 1st Team as a senior, Jackson will pitch in the KABC All-Star Game on June 18th in Wichita, becoming the third Onaga baseball player to play in the showcase. Joining Jackson on the All-State list is fellow senior Dylan Magnett on the 3rd Team. The outfielder led the team this year with 31 steals, the second most in a season in school history. That number was the 2nd most in the TVL, and the 2nd most among all outfielders in the state in 2-1A. Dylan finished 2nd on the team this year in batting average (.338), on-base percentage (.539), runs (27), and triples (1). He also finished third in OPS (.933). Dylan wraps up his career 3rd on the school's all-time list for triples (2), 4th for games played (68) and stolen bases (44), 6th in runs (67), 8th in hits (44), and 9th in doubles (7), RBIs (41), and total bases (55). Congratulations to Jackson and Dylan on your All-State honors, as well as great careers for Onaga baseball. We look forward to watching the success you'll have in your next chapter. GO BUFFALOES!!!

He finished his career in the top 10 of every offensive category in school history, and finished in the top 5 in multiple categories as well. The second baseman/short stop played multiple positions for the Buffaloes over the last two years as a versatile defensive player, and finished his senior year in the top 10 of multiple offensive categories in the TVL as well. Joining L.J. on the 2nd Team was Casen Hutfles, earning his first All-League designation.

Postseason for spring sports continues today with the high school track team competing in their regional meet this afternoon. The team is heading to Royal Valley High School in Hoyt to compete for a chance to go to the state meet next week in Wichita. Field events begin at 12:30pm this afternoon, while prelims for running events begin at 4:00pm. It will be a long day, as Royal Valley is not only hosting the 1A regional, but will also be simultaneously hosting their own 3A regional. With 28 schools in the 1A meet and another 16 in the 3A meet, plan for events to take longer than usual. To qualify for state, the top three medalists from each event will punch their ticket. With four total regionals in each classification and 16 spots available in each event at state, that leaves the remaining 4 spots for the top distances or times from all the regionals. We will keep you up to date on all Onaga athletes that qualify for the state meet today. Good luck to the track team today at regionals! GO BUFFALOES!!! HS TRACK https://www.usd322.org/page/track
