Dodge City Dominates Garden City in Hatchet Game!

October 21, 2024 By DCHS Sports

Dodge City 40, Garden City 14 – 87th Annual Hatchet Game

The Dodge City High School football team delivered an impressive performance on Friday night, defeating Garden City 40-14 in front of a large partisan crowd at Memorial Stadium. The win extended the Demons lead in Hatchets to 20; 53-33-1, over the past 87 seasons.

From the opening kickoff, Dodge City set the tone, with Cade Barnett scoring the first touchdown of the game on an 11-yard carry, followed by another 13-yard TD run later in the quarter to put the Demons up 14-0 at the end of first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Red Demons capitalized on their momentum. Ryan Gonzales found the end zone twice, first with a 20-yard dash and then from 10 yards out, pushing the score to 28-0 by halftime. The Red Demon defense held Garden City to -5 total yards in the first half. The Buffs only ran three plays past midfield – the result of a Dodge City fumble. However, the drive was quickly put to a halt with a Bryson Unzueta interception. For the game, the Demon defense held Garden City to 35 yards rushing and 132 yards passing, 82 of those yards on two plays.

In the third quarter, the home team added to their lead with a short plunge from Alan Flores, extending the score to 34-0. Garden City finally broke through with a 31-yard touchdown pass from Moquett to Avalon, but the Red Demons responded quickly with an unbelievable 59-yard touchdown run by Cooper Speer, putting an explanation point on the game at 40-7.

Garden City (2-5) managed one final touchdown in the last minutes of the game to bring the final score to 40-14. The Red Demon rushing attack amassed 294 yards spearheaded by Gonzales, who rushed for an impressive 103 yards, while Barnett (73 yards) and Speer (67 yards) each contributed significantly to the ground game. The defense was led by standout performances from Cade Barnett and Bryson Unzueta who kept Garden City’s offense in check all night.

Dodge City (4-3) now moves on to what will feel like the playoffs in Week 8. The Red Demons will travel to Wichita to take on the 5-2 Wichita East Blue Aces. With a win, the Red Demons would be almost guaranteed a Week 9 home playoff game. Dodge City could still secure a home game with a loss, but it would take several tie-breaking scenarios for that to happen.

Olathe, KS — The Dodge City High School soccer team travelled to Olathe this past weekend and returned home still undefeated at (15-0) entering the final week of the regular season.

The Red Demons played defending State Champions – Olathe East on Friday night. The Demons and Hawks were scoreless through the first forty minutes. However, Kevin Almendarez struck quickly for the Demons in the second half (assist by Zahit Garibay) and Francisco Solis and the defense took care of the rest as the Demons won (1-0). Dodge City Head Coach Saul Hernandez is now (5-1) versus Olathe East.
On Saturday, Dodge City played a dangerous Blue Valley team who has seemingly played everyone close – including a (1-0) win over Liberal on Friday night. The Red Demons would strike first in the last minute of the first half as Zahit Garibay found the net on an assist from Alejandro Marquez. The Demons would add another goal in the second half from Fabian Pinon to put the game away at (2-0). Once again, Solis and the defense threw a clean sheet at the opponents – the 10th shutout of the season for the Red Demons.

Dodge City now returns to Memorial Stadium for what they hope will be a long stretch of home games – all with a playoff atmosphere. The Red Demons host Liberal (11-3-1) on Thursday night for Legends Night – where the program will be welcoming back all past All-State players to the game. Legends Night posters will be handed out to the first (250) fans in attendance.

Beyond Thursday night’s final regular season game – the Demons hold home pitch advantage through at least the first three rounds of the playoffs. The 6A KSHSAA Soccer Playoffs will begin on Tuesday, October 29th at 6:30p – with the opponent to be determined.
