🎬🍧 Big news, Bearkats! 🍧🎬 Get ready for an even sweeter Family Movie Night on June 22! We’re excited to announce that Just-Ice will be joining us at Bearkat Stadium starting at 7:30PM, serving up their amazing snowcones all evening long! A huge thank you to Halfmann Homes for generously sponsoring the event by donating the first 100 small snowcones FREE for our Bearkat families!

What a year it’s been for the Sandbar Smokehouse crews from Garden City. Just one year ago, most of these students and their coach knew very little about competitive barbecue. Since then, we’ve jumped headfirst into the fire—literally and figuratively—and proven they can compete with the very best in the country. From CBA-sanctioned cookoffs to the National High School BBQ Championship, these kids have poured their hearts into every practice, every competition, every late night, and every turn-in box. They’ve cooked so much BBQ at home that I think some of their families are staging a rebellion and secretly ordering pizza. At the National High School BBQ Championship (with over 100 of the best teams in the country) yesterday, our Middle School team earned 🐷6th Place in Pork Butt🐷. Huge congratulations to pitmasters Aubrey Halfmann & Reagan Hillger, and teammates Shooter Brinkley, and Victor Torres for an outstanding finish against some of the best young pitmasters in the nation. Our High School team brought home 🏆🏆🏆NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 🏆🏆🏆in Ribs and 18th Place in Dutch Oven Cooking! Congratulations to pitmaster Sophie Sullivan and teammates Grady Ivins, Trevor Garcia, and Jayden Contreras for an incredible performance on the national stage. If you’ve never competed in BBQ, it’s hard to explain how tough it is. Every table of judges has different tastes, different preferences, and different opinions. One day they love your food, the next day they don’t—and sometimes there’s absolutely nothing you could have done differently. That’s what makes this sport both frustrating and rewarding. What I know for certain is that these students turned in some of their very best work all year. They cooked with heart, passion, grit, and determination. They learned to win with humility, lose with grace, solve problems under pressure, and trust each other as teammates. For a first-year program, this season exceeded every expectation. These students took on the country and proved they belong among the best. The trophies are exciting, but what makes me most proud is the growth, work ethic, friendships, and memories built along the way. Thank you to our parents, supporters, sponsors, and community for believing in these kids. The future is bright for Sandbar Smokehouse. 🏆National Champions🏆First-year competitors. Garden City proud. And we’re just getting started. 🔥🏆🥩
