The Lady Buffaloes are headed to the softball regional championship!
They will take the field following the conclusion of the Jackson Heights vs. Valley Heights game currently in progress.
Come out and cheer on Onaga as they continue their journey toward the state tournament!

The softball team finishes up regional play today with a chance to go back to the state tournament on the line. The girls entered the tournament as the #1 seed and took care of business in the first round, knocking off #8 Blue Valley 15-0 in just four innings. They now head to the semifinals to take on #4 seeded Doniphan West with a trip to the championship game on the line.
All games today will be played in Onaga and will start 25 minutes following the conclusion of the game prior. Due to the storm yesterday, the final game of the day had to be moved to this afternoon. That means that #2 Jackson Heights will take on #7 Horton to start the day at 12:00pm. Onaga will then get the semifinals going in the second game of the afternoon, before the winner of game one takes on #6 Valley Heights. The winners of the second and third game will then play in the championship for a chance to go to the state tournament next weekend.

🌞 Field Day Fun for the Win! 🏃♀️🎉
What an amazing Field Day under the incredible leadership of Mrs. Boswell! From relay races to water games, our students had a blast celebrating the end of the year with movement, teamwork, and tons of Buffalo spirit. 🧡🖤
A huge shoutout to our high school students who stepped up once again — running stations, encouraging the littles, and modeling what it means to lead with heart.
And just when we thought the day couldn’t get any better… the teachers lined up for a sprint race showdown! 🏁💨 Let’s just say the competition was fierce — so fierce, in fact, that a few hamstrings might still be recovering! 😂
Thank you, Mrs. Boswell, and everyone who helped make this day unforgettable!

And as you head out into the world, where we know you'll all find success, remember that it is still always going to be a great day to be Buffalo!


⚾️ Big Kids, Big Hearts! 🧡🖤
A few of our high school baseball players stepped off the field and into Miss K’s 5th grade classroom to share some baseball skills and life lessons with our younger Buffaloes!
From throwing tips to teamwork talks, our athletes were patient, encouraging, and full of Buffalo pride. It was a great reminder that leadership doesn’t just happen under the lights — it starts in the classroom, in the hallways, and in moments just like this. 💪
Huge thanks to our high school players for being such positive role models!
