The Liberty BlueJays played a solid 4 quarters of basketball Tuesday night in their effort to defeat the Panthers of Ray-Pec. The Jays were victorious 69-57. Leading scorers for the game were Isaiah Norfleet with 14 points, Jordan Lewis, 14, Ben Hansen, 10, and Max Francisco and Denton Koon each finished with 9.
Overall, the Jays played with a lot of poise and toughness. Things didn't always go their way as the Panthers forced the BlueJays into a plethora turnovers but a hot shooting night overcame some adversity. The Jays made 65% of their shots in the 1st half and finished the game by converting 56% from the field.
"Besides passing the ball to them too many times, we had 17 assists on 22 field goals for the game," stated Coach Stirtz. "That's a very acceptable number of assists for a game. Overall, our staff was very pleased with how we played with great effort and pride. Austin Weese, Brandon Chapman, Francisco, Norfleet, and Koon really battled in the paint. Our guards played solid perimeter defense and that was a big factor in the outcome too."
The Jays close out the regular season this Friday night at Grandview.
