Rangers Rally by Redskins

Liberal let a 15 point second half lead slip in a 67-64 loss at Perryton in front of a raucous crowd Friday night. Liberal nailed a season high seven three pointers but saw the Rangers (9-2) finish the game on a 29-9 run to shock the Skins. Liberal committed 17 turnovers in the loss.

The Redskins (2-4) led most of the way including 18-11 at the end of one quarter and 36-27 at halftime. Liberal’s biggest lead was 53-38 in the third quarter but led just 55-49 at the end of three.

The Rangers won despite losing their best player, Keeton Willeford, to a knee injury early in the fourth quarter. Despite the injury, which does not appear to be serious, Willeford had 25.
