Great Bend may have set the record for the number of dunks in a single game against the Liberal Redskins.

Liberal had no answer on defense to stop Ian Premer, who scored 30 points and led the Panthers to an 89-42 win over the shorthanded Redskins.

Liberal started three freshmen, a sophomore and a junior against the Panthers in the first game after the holiday break, and the younger Redskins struggled to land shots and get back on defense in transition which led to a  number of uncontested dunks and layups for the Panthers.

The Lady Redskins continued to dominate on the mat Thursday in a dual against Ulysses while the Redskins fell short against the Tigers.

The Lady Redskins swept the lower weight classes beginning with Kiersie Carlile and continued to build on their early season momentum with a 72-12 win.

The Lady Redskins already have two tournament championships and have continued to dominate opponents. Thursdays performance against Ulysses was another step forward in the program.
