LIBERAL FIRST
Liberal's leading source for news and views
Suain Moncayo didn’t just break the all-time career scoring record Thursday in Hesston. He destroyed it.
Moncayo tied Edwin Moreno with 58 goals Tuesday against Garden City, and Thursday in Hesston Moncayo broke the record with Liberal’s third goal of the game with 30:36 to play in the first half.
But that was just the beginning of the onslaught of goals for Moncayo.
A dejected team of eighth grade Seymour Rogers Apaches were stunned when a tight game was called in the third quarter due to darkness that led to a 14-8 loss to Kenneth Henderson.
The Apaches dominated most of the first half, and Francisco Cardenas game the Apaches an 8-0 lead after breaking free around the left side for a touchdown after catching a key third-and-15 pass for a first down earlier in the drive.
The Lady Redskins played in their final home event Tuesday when they hosted Scott City and Holcomb for a triangular.
The Lady Redskins opened the event against Scott City and earned a three-set win.
Liberal jumped out early in the first set and was able to maintain a lead throughout to earn a 25-17 win.
Monday night, the Seymour Rogers eighth Grade A Team faced off against Eisenhower Middle School at SRMS in an exciting match. Both teams showcased incredible skill and determination, but the Lady Apaches triumphed, winning in two sets, 25-18 and a thrilling 26-24.
“I couldn’t be prouder of our team,” Coach Sill said. “They played aggressively at the net, seizing opportunities for blocks and kills. The support from our back row was equally impressive, as they made crucial digs whenever the ball slipped past the initial block.”
Liberal continued to lead the state with the fewest goals allowed after shutting out the Garden City Buffaloes in a 2-0 win Tuesday at Redskin Field.
The shutout was the sixth of the season for the Redskins.
Suain Moncayo also became part of Redskin soccer history by tying Eduardo Moreno as the all-time leading scorer with 58 goals. And it would take solid defense to pull out the win, because the Buffaloes also limited the number of shots Liberal had at the Garden City goal.
