The stage was set and the atmosphere couldn’t have been much better Wednesday night in the Greenhouse as the #9 Seward County Saints welcomed their arch rival Garden City Broncbusters to Liberal for a Jayhawk West Conference tilt. With fans amped up for the rivalry matchup as well as the presence of the winningest coach in college basketball in the past 7 years, Bill Self of Kansas, the Saints and Busters tipped things off, but it wouldn’t be the home folks that went home with a smile on their face. Garden City controlled the game from the opening tip and shot a blistering 57% to come away with an 81-74 upset win over Seward.

All signs pointed towards an upset alert Saturday night as the conference leading Seward County Saints headed to Dodge City to take on a Conquistadors team that had yet to lose on their home court and had proved a menace to the Saints the past two years in the Civic Center, winning lopsided contests against the highly favored Saints. But, with only two returners from last year’s Jayhawk West Conference Championship team, the 2011-2012 Seward squad didn’t know all of that and went out and broke the two streaks as the Saints offense carried them to a 42-40 halftime lead before their defense clamped the Conqs down in the second half to come away with an 81-75 victory on the road.
