Triple the Misery for Redskins

Great Bend outlasted Liberal 53-49 in three overtimes Saturday night in the Big House. Liberal let the game get away after leading 26-16 at halftime and 31-20 early in the third quarter. But the Panthers (10-8, 4-3) used a 13-1 run to change the game and led 33-31 in the fourth quarter. Great Bend took the final shot in regulation, overtime, and second overtime and each time the Redskins got the stop. But Liberal’s offense was another story. After a solid start, Liberal missed close shots or turned the ball over most of the second half. Jade Cathey led Liberal with 17 but fouled out. DeVondre Livingston had 16. Liberal falls to 9-9 overall and 3-3 in the WAC. The Redskin season is headed the wrong direction with losses in three of the past four games. Liberal plays at Garden City Tuesday night at 7:45 on Talkradio 1270 and kscbnews.net.
