LIBERAL FIRST
Liberal's leading source for news and views
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.
Hutchinson — Two Liberal High School Golfers traveled to Hutchinson Thursday to participate in the Hutchinson High Invitational. This was, by far, the largest tournament the Lady Redskins will play in this year with 22 teams and 114 golfers.
Manhattan won the tournament with a team score of 297 with Maize (331) finishing second. The rest of the top five schools were McPherson (349), Andover (350) and Garden City (354). Hays finished 12th with a 397 and Dodge City finished 18th with a 460.
After giving up two late scores to Dodge City a week earlier, the Liberal Redskins reversed the script and put Friday night’s game away against Garden City by scoring 16 points late for a 23-6 win.
The Angry Red defense set the tone early with a three-and-out on Garden City’s first possession.
The Redskins took an early 7-0 lead by scoring on their first offensive drive of the game. Xavier Tafoya capped a 62-yard drive with a 13-yard touchdown run for a 7-0 advantage.
