Great Bend Holds Lady Skins in Check

On a night in which Liberal missed a lot of lay ups and free throws, high powered Great Bend made just a few more. Perhaps with Great Bend showing the ill effects of playing the night before at Dodge City and Liberal coming off a three hour bus ride, neither team was sharp in a 48-37 Great Bend win over Liberal at the Great Bend Fieldhouse.

The game was tied a 7-7 after one quarter and 13-13 at halftime. Great Bend led 32-29 after three quarters. GBHS won despite going just 2-15 from three point range while LHS was 5-16 from three. But LHS was 4-14 at the foul line and committed 23 turnovers.

Diamond Bailey scored 10 in the loss. It’s Liberal’s seventh straight loss at Great Bend. The Lady Panthers are 11-8 and 4-2 in the WAC while the Lady Skins are 10-8 and 3-3 in the WAC. Liberal hosts Garden City Tuesday night at 6 with Redskin Pre-game at 5:45 on 1270 and kscbnews.net.
