Lady Jays Car-Hop At Sonic

In the first fund raiser of the year, the Liberty Lady Jays served as Car-Hops at Sonic on Highway 291, Saturday, June 20th. The Jays were able to raise around $500 that will go to help cover the cost of the summer leagues they played in during June. It was a lot of fun for the girls and the amount of money raised exceeded the original goal. Junior Varsity Coach Amber Lierman spear-headed the fundraiser and deserves many thank yous for helping out the program so much. Also, 8th Grade Coach Zach Werner and new Sophomore Coach Isaiah Dell were there to help supervise the fundraiser. The Jays will look into working another Saturday in the fall.

South Valley Freshman

The South Valley Freshman played in the Park Hill Freshman League this summer, playing other Freshmen teams from around the Northland. Despite limited numbers due to injuries, the Jays were able to hold their own and gain valuable playing time this summer.

Summer League

The Liberty High School Sophomore team and the Liberty Junior High Freshman team competed in the Northland Summer League that concluded on Thursday, June 25th. With the Varsity and JV teams playing in the Game Time Graphic League, this gave the younger teams an opportunity to step up and play against varsity and junior varsity teams throughout the Northland. This experience was invaluable to the teams and gave the coaches a very indepth evaluation.

Game Time Graphics Summer League

Liberty finished off the Game Time Graphics Summer League at Blue Springs South High School on Wednesday, June 24th. Both the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams competed in the league and the coaches were able to gain valuable time with the girls. The Varsity team played the majority of the league without five of last season's top seven players. This gave a lot of the younger players in the program a great opportunity to step up to the Varsity level and compete against great competition. Liberty played Fort Osage, Blue Springs (twice), O'Hara, Blue Springs South, Lee's Summit North, Lee's Summit, and Truman, giving the girls a taste of what's to come in the upcoming season.

Lady Jays Headed To Creighton

Liberty will be heading to Omaha July 24-26 to participate in the Creighton University Team Camp. The Jays will be competing against opponents from Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas and Missouri. The three day camp will give the coaches another opportunity to evalute the players before the summer is over.
