Guymon Rallies Past Liberal

The Guymon Tigers won a basketball game in the Big House in Liberal for the first time since 2006.  Guymon rallied past the Liberal Redskins with a strong fourth quarter 57-47 Tuesday night in Liberal’s return home to the Big House.

The Redskins led 11-10 after one and 28-21 at the half in Liberal’s first home game since January 8.  Liberal played most of the game and all of the second half without A.J. Ramirez due to injury.  The Tigers took advantage of the situation and grabbed a 35-34 lead after three.  Guymon outscored Liberal 22-13 in the fourth quarter leading by as many as 15 (51-36) in the process.

Adonay Rezene led Guymon with 21 and Brett Fields had 15.  Embry Williams led Liberal with 21 in the loss.  Alex Lopez added eight.

Liberal had won 15 in a row over Guymon in the Big House.  LHS is 5-10 and Guymon is 4-13 as the two teams split the season series for a second straight year.  Liberal hosts Hooker Friday night at about 7:45 in the Big House on 1270 and kscbnews.net.  Guymon hosts Hooker Saturday night for senior night.
