Redskin Defense Cages Tigers

The Redskins spent the first half tentative offensively and floated around the perimeter. They spent the second half ferociously attacking the backboards and tipping Ulysses passes in a 46-28 win at Ulysses Tuesday night. Liberal trailed early 12-5 and it was 19-19 at halftime. Liberal out-scored the Tigers 27-9 in the second half and used a 14-0 run to blow the game open in the third quarter. Jade Cathey scored 20 points including 19 in the second half. Tyson Deaton added eight. But Liberal’s defense was most impressive holding the Tigers (4-2) to 1-17 shooting from three point range. Ulysses came in shooting 38 percent from three point range. Liberal is 4-2 and travels to Hays Friday for a WAC opening game which will air on Talkradio 1270 and kscbnews.net. Hays swept the Redskins last year.
