THE PERRYMAN ATHLETIC COMPLEX ATHLETIC FACILITIES
Originally called the physical education building, it was renamed the Dennis Perryman Athletic Complex in 2005 after the longtime Athletic Director and legendary coach. Perryman died in April, 2018, leaving behind quite a legacy. The building originally opened in 1969.
During his near two decades of leadership, the football program won 75 percent of their games, winning six conference titles while qualifying for 13 bowl games including two National Championship tilts in 1997 and 2000. He retired in 2005 after 19 years.
In 1999, Perryman was inducted into the NJCAA Basketball Hall of Fame for a career that saw him win 400 games. He had coaching stops at South Plains, Northern Montana University and Dawson Community College.
THE BRONCBUSTER MURAL
In 2016, the Perryman Athletic Complex underwent a $565,000 renovation project. Part of that plan included an historical sports mural that features the history of Garden City Community College. Situated on the far right is former Broncbuster offensive lineman Phil Loadholt, who was a two-time, first-team All-American before he transferred to Oklahoma in 2006. He was taken in the second round of the 2009 draft by the Minnesota Vikings.
The original mural was designed by former Garden City graphic desiger Tiffany Heit. But the idea behind it belonged to assistant Athletic Director Colin Lamb. The production took two months before it debuted during the grand reopening of the Perryman Athletic Complex in March, 2016.
SCOOTER’S COFFEE OF GARDEN CITY FIELD
In recognition of their generous support of Broncbuster Athletics and their continued commitment to Garden City Community College.
Through their partnership and investment in our student-athletes, Scooter’s Coffee has played a significant role in enhancing the game-day experience at Williams Stadium. Your support of the Scooter’s Coffee billboard on the Williams Stadium video board and their partnership in the naming of Scooter’s Coffee Field reflect a shared dedication to excellence, community pride, and the continued success of Broncbuster Athletics.
We are grateful for their support of Garden City Community College and for helping us build a championship environment for our student-athletes and fans.
SCOOTER’S COFFEE BILLBOARD WILLIAMS STADIUM
GO BUSTERS! A NEW LANDMARK IS NOW STANDING TALL IN GARDEN CITY
In November 2025, a custom 17’ × 30’ Broncbuster billboard, featuring a 3-foot custom “pop-up” extension, was officially completed bringing together Garden City Community College and Scooter’s Coffee in a bold, high-visibility display of community partnership.
The project was months in the making. Design work began in early 2025, with collaboration, revisions, and vision-setting leading to final approval from both the College Council and Board of Trustees in July. From there, construction of the metal framework and custom sign face moved quickly, with the full structure completed and installed in November.
Positioned along Kansas Avenue and Campus Drive, the billboard now serves as a daily reminder of Broncbuster pride. Whether catching it illuminated at night or standing out during the day, it’s impossible to miss.
A STATEMENT PIECE. A COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP. A BRONCBUSTER PRESENCE, DAY AND NIGHT.
The bank for sharing unforgettable experiences.

At Commerce Bank, we believe there are countless ways to define success. And all of them need a solid financial partner — to give you the security to simply relax and enjoy, and the opportunity to create more unforgettable moments in the future.
BRONCBUSTER STRENGTH
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PROGRAM
The Perryman Athletic Complex houses a state-of-the art weight room. In 2015, Garden City became the first program in the Jayhawk Conference to hire a full-time strength and conditioning coach, bringing in Jason Zerbach. The impact was felt immediately.
Zerbach was an instrumental piece during Garden City’s 2016 National Championship run before he left in 2017. When Tom Minnick was hired in 2018, he brought in Josh Brewer to replace Zerbach. But he was hired away by Wyoming to be their Olympic Strength Coach. The program continues to be one of the strongest in the nation.

@Josh_Oller
Garden City, Kansas - Josh Oller begins his third year at Garden City Community College.
Oller takes over after spending the previous two seasons as an assistant coach at Ottawa University. Before that, he was the pitching coach at Colby Community College for five years where he had three players selected in the Major League Baseball draft. He also coached five NJCAA All-Americans, eight Region VI selections, nine All-Jayhawk West performers, and three Jayhawk West Pitchers of the Year.
“It is a blessing and an honor to lead the Garden City Community College baseball program,” Oller said.
“It is an exciting opportunity to begin a new chapter in Broncbuster baseball history, and I look forward to hitting the ground running.”
While at Colby, Oller managed all aspects of the pitching staff for the Trojans and assisted with the strength and conditioning program as well as budget and travel.
“Coach Oller is extremely wellrounded,” Pilosof added. “His extensive pitching background is well documented.”
Oller spent the 2017 season at St. Mary’s High School in Natchitoches, LA where he was named the District 3-1A Coach of the Year. Before that, he was a student assistant coach at Northwestern State University where he oversaw the pitching staff. He also spent time as an assistant coach at Natchitoches Central High School from August 2015 to January 2016.
Oller began his collegiate career as a pitcher at Texarkana College where he led the team in total appearances (22) and ERA (0.78) in 2012. He transferred to Angelina College in 2013 where he led NJCAA Region 2 in ERA and was an All-Region selection. He still holds the Roadrunners single season mark for ERA (1.78). He then moved on to Northwestern State as the team’s No. 2 starting pitcher where he was an allconference selection, finishing third nationally in wins during his senior season.
Oller lives in Garden City with his wife, Karlie.
Ty Lain enters his second season as assistant coach at Garden City Community College.
Lain comes to Garden City from Cheyenne, WY, where he spent the last eight seasons leading the Cheyenne Post 6 Legion Baseball program.

Field DREAMS OF
JAY GUNDY WAS A STARTING OUTFIELDER ON THE ‘99 TEAM, THE ONLY SQUAD TO EVER REACH GRAND JUNCTION. 21 YEARS LATER, HE STILL REMEMBERS THE JOURNEY
Field DREAMS OF
BY JAY GUNDY
THAT FINAL KICK
Coming off of the fall of 1998, we knew we had a chance to be pretty good, but how good nobody knew. The first weekend of the year we proved to ourselves just that point, taking one of two games at Seminole State in Oklahoma. That team ended up winning over 50 games and made it to Grand Junction with us later that year. They were more physical and had an edge to them that they were better and we never blinked. That was a great way to open up. The remainder of the season we also proved we could lose to anybody on any given day! We never seemed to get things rolling with many splits and no real winning streaKansas.
As the regular season came to an end, we were somewhere around .500, beating everybody and losing to everybody as the record stated. What we did know, though, is we didn’t have to play perfect to beat anybody in the West. And we were playing the first round at our place. Through those four wins I never remember there being any panic. Even if we fell behind, we knew we would come back. The biggest moment of that weekend came in Game two against Hutch when Pedro Pichardo hit a grand slam to put us ahead for good. To me that is when I was confident we were going to be tough to beat. We then run-ruled Seward in Game three to make it to the final undefeated. Game four against Seward, as I remember, was back and forth a bit but we eventually came out on top.
The feeling of the team at that point was not of joy but of unfinished business from the previous spring. Even the freshmen who knew nothing of who Cowley County was, wanted them to be next and this year it was at our place. As it turned out, the two-time defending National Champions fell to Neosho in the East setting our teams up for a best two out of three series with a ticket to Grand Junction at stake. That day felt like we were destined to win. Neither game was very close. We did everything right and anything close went our way. We beat two D-1 arms that day without any stress. When the last out of game two happened, we finally did feel joy. We knew we had done something that hadn’t been done here before!
The actual World Series experience was one I will never forget. In the time between the wins against Neosho and our first game at Grand Junction, we were a tic off. We were just missing pitches, balls were just out of range, and pitches just missed their spots. We lost both of our games out there but the memories will always be great ones!
