Seward County entered the final week of the regular season with playoff implications on the line entering Wednesday's contest with the Coffeyville Red Ravens as the Lady Saints competed wire to wire with their Jayhawk Conference opponent where a second half goal from Dayra Dinarte off a penalty kick helped Seward earn a point in the standings with a 1-1 draw.
Liberal spent most of Tuesday’s game against Great Bend near the Panther goal, and while some shots sailed around the goal, the Redskins found the net multiple times in a 6-0 blowout win.
Several shots went off the crossbars, and the Great Bend goalkeeper was abel to get deflections to deny other shot attempts.
But Giezi Gonzalez started the scoring frenzy by lifting a shot high into the net in the first 10 minutes of the game, and the Redskin scoring onslaught continued.
TURPIN, Okla.—Cardinal QB Carson Peters accounted for six touchdowns against top-ranked Laverne. But in a game full of big plays, where the two offenses combined for over 1,000 yards, it came down to the conversion plays. Laverne converted three times and Turpin only one leading to a 42-38 win for the Tigers.
“Disappointed with the loss, but not disappointed with the effort, Cardinals Head Coach Justin Hannah said. “We had too many execution breakdowns and missed tackles. But we know what kind of fight we have in us.”
The Lady Redskins struggled at the Western Athletic Conference volleyball tournament and finished fifth.
Liberal lost to Garden City (25-16, 25-10), Dodge City (21-25, 25-19, 25-17), Hays (25-17, 25-15) and Great Bend (25-15, 25-20). Great Bend won the WAC with a 4-0 record.
