Liberal may have caught the #8 Andover Trojans at the wrong time. Coming off two losses last week when they were ranked #1 in 5A, Andover bounced back by beating Liberal 74-45 Thursday evening at the Brick House at Salina Central. It was Liberal’s seventh straight opening round loss at the Salina Invitational.
In their first meeting since 2016, Andover led 26-10 after one quarter and 38-20 at the half. The Trojans led the Redskins 59-36 after three quarters. The game used a running clock during much of the fourth quarter.
Coby Tran led the Redskins with a career high 12 points as he buried four second half three’s. Quintavious Williams played his best game in his third game scoring eight.
The Redskins drop their fifth straight and are 2-7 overall while Andover is 8-2. Liberal plays Friday at 4:30 at Salina South High School on 1270, 92.3, and the KSCB and The Legend App. They face Abilene.
