Big Week in Demon Nation!
Unless you have been living in seclusion – or Kansas City – there is a good chance you are aware that the Red Demons are traveling to Riverfront Stadium in Wichita to take on the Garden City Buffaloes on Saturday night in the 85th annual Hatchet Game. And while the game provides DCHS the opportunity to showcase Red Demon Football, The Pride of Southwest Kansas, and its outstanding cheer and dance squads, this week also shines a spotlight on every fall program.
Lady Demon Tennis
Last Friday, at the 6A KSHSAA Regional in Garden City, the Lady Demons finished third overall in the eight team tournament. The team had just wrapped up a busy week in which they finished third as a team at the Western Athletic Conference Meet, held at Preston Courts. Flaminia Lepri, who finished 2nd at WAC, avenged a previous loss earlier in the week to win the Regional singles title in three sets (2-6, 6- 2, 6-3). America Gamez finished in sixth place in singles to qualify for the 6A State Tournament as did the doubles team of Karen Lopez and Emily Estevane. Lopez and Estevane were also WAC runners-up in #2 doubles. All four qualifiers will compete this Friday in Wichita, the second year in a row that the 6A State Meet will be at Wichita Riverside Tennis Complex.
Lady Demon Golf
Ashlyn Armstrong continued her outstanding senior season on Monday finishing as the Regional runner-up shooting an 86 at Southwind Country Club in Garden City. The team also finished second with a 432 qualifying them for the 6A State Tournament next Monday at the Salina Municipal Golf Course. The top six teams and twelve individuals (not on top six teams) will qualify for Day two of the tournament. Armstrong earned First Team All-Conference for her regular season efforts, while Riley Kippes and Payton Dunn earned Second Team honors.
Volleyball
The Lady Demon volleyball program finished the regular season at Garden City last Thursday with a three- set loss to Ulysses and a hard fought loss to Garden City. Dodge City will be competing in the WAC Tournament this Saturday at Liberal. Hays is the defending WAC Champions with their only loss in last season’s tournament coming at the hands of the Lady Demons. Post-season seeding for volleyball will be next week at the conclusion of the conference tournament weekend.
Red Demon Cross Country
The Red Demon Cross Country team will compete in the WAC Championships this Thursday at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course in Garden City. Dodge City finished second last year at Mariah Hills and will be looking to dethrone defending champion Garden City.
The Red Demon Cross Country team is fresh off a winning performance at the Salina Invitational last Saturday. The Red Demons were led by David Ultreras who won the meet with a time of 16:20, followed by Danny Lamas who was second at 16:35. The Red Demons placed six runners in the Top 10 at Salina (Angel Vazquez, Brandon Juarez, Mathew Banuelos and Eddie Salinas).
Lady Demon Cross Country
The Lady Demons also finished as WAC runner-up last year and will be looking to continue their past success at the Western Athletic Conference meet. The Lady Demons are coming off a third place finish at the Salina Invitational.
Top performers for Dodge City were Alex Gere – 8th (20:50) and Teressa Martinez – 15th (21:10). The KSHSAA 6A Regional Cross Country Meet will be hosted by Wichita East next Saturday in Augusta at Four Mile Creek Resort. This course was the site of the 6A State Championship meets the past two years. The top three teams will qualify to the 6A State Meet at Rim Rock Farm, home course to the Kansas University Cross Country team.
Red Demon Soccer
Championships begin in October for the Red Demon Soccer program. With a possible seven home games (if you include playoffs), the schedule is full of opportunities for the Red Demons to begin their march to the 6A Final Four, to be held at Stryker Stadium in Wichita the first weekend of November.
The spotlight could not shine any brighter on the Red Demon Soccer program as they defeated Great Bend on Tuesday night to secure their eighth WAC title in the past nine seasons. Dodge City has won 30-straight WAC contests, dating back to 2019. The number-one ranked Red Demons are currently undefeated at 13-0 and face the number-three team in 5A, Blue Valley Southwest, on Friday night in Kansas City. The two programs combined have won a state championship every year since 2016. Dodge City has won two state titles (2016, 2020) while BVSW has four state titles (2017, 2018, 2019, 2021). The Red Demons will play Shawnee Mission South on Saturday before returning home to play Liberal in the regular season finale. The first round of Regional Playoffs will begin on October 25 at Memorial Stadium.

The Dodge City High School boys and girls cross country teams competed in the state cross country meet at the Rim Rock Farm in Lawrence, Kansas Saturday.
The girls team finished ninth of 12, and the boys team finished 10th of 12. Ayanna Hensley continued her strong performance for the girls’ team, finishing 27th overall in a time of 20:08. Finishing 40 seconds after her was Karina Herrera, who finished 54th overall in a time of 20:48. Luz Lopez finished three seconds after her, completing the 5K course in 20:51, which was good for 57th overall.
Denise Dominguez finished 73rd overall in a time of 21:32, and Caroline
Williams finished 77th overall in a time of 21:40. Elizabeth Dorado finished 80th overall in a time of 21:55, and Lucy Lozano finished 96th overall, completing the course in 22:27.
The results came after the team had won their regional meet just a week earlier.
“We were able to finish the season by running our two best meets at the most important time,” girls head cross country coach Brian Lenz said via email. “Our ninth place finish was a great race for us.”
Saturday’s performance gives the team something to look forward to in 2018, even though one of the top performers will be graduating.
“We will be losing Luz Lopes from this year’s team,” Lenz said. “Luz gave us a dependable
runner that was calm in all situations and helped pace our younger girls in workouts and meets, we return our next nine runners which will start us into next year with high hopes.”
Javier Marquez finished 45th overall in a time of 17:01 and was the first Red Demon to complete the 5K course in the boys race. A few spots behind him was Giovanni Valverde, who finished in 17:04, which was good for 48th overall. Jesus Solis finished 51st in 17:06, and Quest Weller finished in 17:09 for 56th place.
Behind them, Israel Rojas finished 74th in 17:19, and Jair Martinez finished in 89th with a time of 17:38. Montel Love also ran, completing the course in 17:46 for a 92nd place finish.

Saturday morning, the Dodge City Red Demons cross country teams compete at the 6A state cross country meet.
The race takes place in Lawrence, Kansas, at the Rim Rock Farm. The girls races at 10 a.m., with the boys starting at 11:45. During the time between the two, state races for 5A and 3A classifications will be starting.
Both Red Demons teams are just a week removed from last Saturday’s strong finishes at the regional meet. The girls finished first among girls teams, the boys finished second. This week’s course will be more familiar for the boys team than the girls, because the boys raced there back on Sept. 23.
The girls have not had a race there this season, but girls head coach Brian Lenz said he doesn’t think that will be a problem because teams get to run the course leisurely the day before, familiarizing themselves with it and discussing strategy for how to deal with the specific challenges it presents.
“We go up the day before and we’ll jog the course the day before and we’ll have the time to get really discuss the different aspects of the course as we go through it the day before,” Lenz said. “There’s no concern as far as any surprises or anything for em.”
The Red Demons top two girls runners, Ayanna Hensley and Luz Lopez are ones to watch out for. Hensley has run twice there with good results, Lenz said, and Lopez ran great last year at state on the same course.
“We’ve had a history of going up there and competing really well at the state meet, so I’m expecting the same thing this year,” Lenz said.
After last week’s performance, Lenz said it’s become clear the team runs their best at the end of the season.
“That was shown last week, and so I’m sure we should be able to carry that over another race,” Lenz said.
Boys head coach Buc Bolmer said the course is a little hilly, something Lenz also said, but both also testified to its quality, with Lenz saying it has some great facilities.
“It’s just designed to cross country,” Bolmer said. “It’s a beautiful course, pry one of the best in the nation in my opinion.”
Back in September, a few of the boys got jittery the night before, Bolmer said. That shouldn’t be the case this time though.
“I don’t think they’ll be as nervous this time around,” Bolmer said.
