The Redskins created some excitement in The Big House Thursday when they had a five-point lead over Dodge City after three quarters. But the excitement turned into disappointment when Liberal couldn’t keep the lead and fell 70-61.

The Redskins started slow and trailed the Red Demons20-9 after the first quarter, but they battled back to cut the lead to seven by half.

Liberal tied the game 33-33 midway through the third. By the end of the quarter Liberal had a 50-45 lead.

But turnovers and rushed shots allowed Dodge City to pull ahead, and the Redskins couldn’t rally in the 70-61 loss.
