Liberal head coach Bill Baird was disappointed in his team Friday night in Hays. He felt his team didn’t give great effort in a 59-28 loss at Hays. Tuesday, the effort was much better in a 47-31 loss at Garden City.

Liberal trailed by just six (33-27) with 3:47 to play. Garden led 15-8 after one quarter. Jai Chapman banked in a three pointer to make it 21-15 GCHS at halftime. The Lady Buffs led 30-22 at the end of three quarters.

A young Garden City team with just two seniors is off to their best start in a long time at 6-2 overall and 3-0 in the WAC. The Lady Skins are 1-7 overall and 0-2 in the WAC. LHS has dropped nine straight WAC games.

Jai Chapman scored 10 in the loss.

Liberal hosts Scott City Friday night at 6 p.m. on Talkradio 1270 and kscbnews.net.
