LIBERAL FIRST
Liberal's leading source for news and views
Seward County continued their long road stint on Wednesday with a three-hour trip to Great Bend where the Saints faced the Barton Cougars in a Jayhawk matchup where an exchange of goals in the first kept the scoreboard even before a late foul from the Saints led to a made penalty kick from Barton to take the lead and eventually the game 2-1.

In the eighth grade boys race Alexis Landa placed fifth, and Eric Baeza placed 11th. Out of 11 teams, the seventh grade girls finished fourth, the seventh grade boys took second, and the eighth grade boys and girls each finished second.
The Seymour Rogers cross country teams did extremely well on Tuesday in Ulysses. The boys’ seventh and eighth team and the girls’ seventh and eighth team had a combined score and placement in the two-mile course.

The Turpin Cardinals moved to 3-0 with a dominating performance at Buffalo. The Cardinal offense racked up 330 yards on just 30 plays and the defense held the Bison to only ten total yards in a 54-6 mercy-rule win.
Turpin wasted little time, taking a 36-0 lead in the first quarter, including a 52-yard punt return TD. Turpin led 42-0 before a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown allowed the Bison to get on the board before the half. The Cardinals added another score in the third quarter. In the fourth, Jaxon Lehnert blocked a punt and recovered it in the end zone to end the game.
Xavier Porras carried the ball 25 times for 269 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Liberal Redskins to a 56-0 rout over Guymon, Okla., in a renewal of the Highway 54 Clash.
Alex Schwindt scored the first touchdown for the Redskins on a four-yard run, and after a Guymon punt, Porras topped an 11-play drive with a 13-yard touchdown run for a 14-0 Liberal lead.
After Liberal’s only drive that did not end in a score dies at the Guymon 29 yard line, Schwindt intercepted a Guymon pass to give the offense another chance.
