Lady Redskins Slip Past Guymon

The Guymon Lady Tigers wouldn’t go away.  Facing a Liberal team who is ranked third in 5A and beat Guymon 49-25 on December 5, the Lady Redskins had to hold on for dear life to beat the Lady Tigers 48-44 Tuesday night in the Big House.

The game was tied 9-9 after one and LHS led 21-19 at the half.  Guymon led 31-28 late in the third before LHS rallied.  Ali Lucero hit a three and Katie Horyna was fouled at the end of the third quarter to give the Lady Red at 35-32 lead after three.  Liberal led 39-2 and 44-36 before Guymon’s Alex Bishop hit a couple of three’s and brought Guymon to within two at 44-42 with 3:35 to play.  Whitney Hay hit a key fourth quarter three pointer and a couple of free throws to help Liberal to the season sweep against Guymon for a second consecutive season.  Guymon made just 9-18 free throws which hurt their upset bid.
