Jays Get 1st Round Win Over Lebanon

The Liberty basketball team moved to 2-0 in the early season with an opening round win over the host school in the Lebanon Tournament Thursday night. Once again, the Jays had 4 players in double figures. Denton Koon led all scorers with 18 points, Marshon Norfleet had 14 pts, Jordan Lewis had 12 pts, and Austin Weese added 10 pts.
The Blue Jays led by 6 points after the 1st quarter and by 10 points at halftime. The lead grew to as many 20 in the second half before ending with a final of 76-64.
"We were pleased our effort and the outcome of the game. We made some defensive adjustments at halftime and the players did nice job of executing the changes, mentioned Coach Stirtz. We have a big test tonight against Helias at 8:30pm. We'll need to play much better defense, rebound well, and limit our turnovers to be successful."
