LIBERAL FIRST
Liberal's leading source for news and views
Seward County returned to the Green House on Wednesday afternoon for a match against the Pratt Beavers, who built a dam in their previous contest which the Lady Saints broke down with an emphatic 3-1 win to maintain their positioning in the Jayhawk standings entering the final stretch of the 2024 regular season.
Liberal’s defense only allowed two touchdowns Friday night against Great Bend, but the offense couldn’t sustain drives in a 14-7 loss.
The highly recruited Great Bend tight end Ian Premer had a strong first half including a 71-yard touchdown reception when he was in single coverage on the sideline and avoided an attempted tackle.
But in the second half, Premer was a nonfactor. Premer did not have a reception in the second half, and an attempted run was stopped for a two-yard loss.
On a beautiful, bright October morning, the cross country Middle School Western Athletic Conference (MSWAC) meet took place at Arkalon park. The teams consisted of seventh and eighth grade girls and seventh and eighth grade boys. All the MSWAC teams tackled the two-mile course at Arkalon park.
The Apaches had 12 out of 15 athletes break their personal records on Saturday.
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.
