Liberty used a huge second quarter to pull away from Blue Springs South in the 5th place game at the Blue Valley North Tournament, 62-45. The Jays (12-5, 5-1) outscored South 24-10 in the second quarter to erase an early five point deficit and take a 13 point lead into the locker room at halftime. The second half saw Liberty able to get the ball inside and shoot 13/19 from the field to extend their lead to 23 points midway through the fourth quarter.
Liberty will be back in action on Tuesday when they travel to Hickman Mills for another tough non-conference matchup. This game was changed from February 10th because of a scheduling conflict on that date. Hickman Mills defeated Blue Valley North in the 3rd place game of the tournament.
