Liberty had their season ended Saturday by Blue Springs in the Quarter Finals of the Class 5 State Tournament, 43-32. The game was a struggle for the Jays (22-7) from the start, as shots would not fall and turnovers never allowed them to get into any rhythm. Despite the struggle, Liberty led 15-12 midway through the second quarter, but Blue Springs was able to finish the half on a 7-0 run to take a four point lead into the break. The third quarter was not good for either team as both teams combined for nine total points, Blue Springs 5, Liberty 4. In the fourth quarter Blue Springs was able to push the lead to nine points and Liberty could never get any closer as the Wildcats did a good job of running time off the clock and having the Jays chase them all over the court. For the game Blue Springs outshot Liberty from the free throw line 28 to 6, and that was the difference in the game.
