Workouts Still On This Week

Workouts are still on for this week. Coach Werner will be there to conduct the workouts, both on the floor and in the weight room. Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday from 9:30-11:30 a.m. JV & Varsity Northland League games are at Lawson this week.

Jays Keep Rolling Along

Liberty was able to continue playing well this week in the Northland League, defeating Oak Park (42-17) and Park Hill (36-11) on Thursday night in Smithville. All the girls had a good week of workouts both on the floor and in the weight room. The coaches are very excited about how well the girls are working and the improvement that they have seen the last 3 weeks.

We wish a speedy recovery to junior guard Mackenzie Kern. She spent the last few nights in the hospital battling flu-like symtoms. If there was anyone that is going to fight hard to get better it's Mac. Get better soon.

Northland League

After two weeks of games in the Northland League, Liberty has moved to 4-0 this summer in the Varsity Division. The Jays have defeated North Kansas City, St. Pius, Park Hill South and Platte County. There are four games remaining in the league, which will take place the next two Thursdays (Smithville on June 24th and Lawson on July 1st).

In the JV Division, Liberty has a split squad with both Liberty and Liberty North players. Going into the last game tonight Liberty is 1-2 in the league. They beat St. Pius and lost to North Kansas City and Park Hill South.

This has been a very competitive league so far this summer and is giving the players a great opportunity to compete at a high level during the off-season.

Jays Have Great Week Of Camp

Despite the numbers being a little lower than last summer, the Jays had a great week of camp and had a lot of fun with the campers. The camps were for 3rd-5th graders and 6th-8th graders. There were a total of 43 campers combined for both camps and they were able to participate in fundamental drills, contests and games.

The coaches at Liberty are hosting two more camps this summer: a Shooting Camp for 3rd-8th graders July 19th-22nd from 12:30 p.m.-2:00 p.m. at Liberty High School and a High School Individual Camp for 9th-12th graders July 19th-22nd from 9:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. The cost for the camp is $40 and youcan preregister or register at the door.

Thursday Workouts/League Info

Thursday's workouts are at 12:30 p.m. at SVJH. Also, Thursday is the first night of the Northland League. For the workouts and league Liberty and Liberty North will combine forces and play together for the summer. If you want to play in the league you are highly encouraged to be at workouts Thursday so we know what our numbers will be for the league. If you can't be at workouts and want to play in the league you need to immediatley contact your respective coach. The Northland League is for girls going into their sophomore, junior or senior season unless you have talked to Coach Morley.

It is $25 to play in the league and that money is due on Thursday before the first game. Cash will be the easiest form of payment because this money is to pay the officials for the entire summer. If you do write a check you will need to make it out Coach Morley.

The league schedule is posted on the blog, you can see when and where the games will be played throughout the summer.

Lady Jays Take Soccer Championship

The Liberty Lady Jays soccer team dominated the state tournament and capped off the season with a 7-2 victory in the Class 3 State Championship Game over Pattonville High School. The Jays broke two records in the blowout; most goals scored and largest margain of victory in a title game.

Congratulations goes out to Kaysie Clark, Kelsey Goff, Shea Groom, Mackenzie Kern, Maddie Mason, Alex Neely, Marriah Schweitzer, and Jenna Turner, all members of the basketball team too. The state title this year gives the girls a great opportunity to repeat next season and in between there try to win a state title in basketball.

SUMMER LEAGUE UPDATE

Anyone that is planning on playing in the Northland League that is going to be a sophomore, junior, or senior will need to attend at least the workout on Thursday at 1:00 p.m. at South Valley Junior High. This way we have an idea of who all is going to be playing that night. Also, any girl that is going Liberty North and will be a sophomore or junior can play with us in this Northland Leage and needs to be at the workout on Thursday at 1:00 p.m.

Each player will need to pay $25, preferably cash, to play in the summer league. This cost helps us with the cost of the league. The first game is a Varsity game at 5:30 p.m. followed by a Junior Varsity game at 6:30 p.m. at St. Pius High School. Each team will play two games and the schedule can be found under the "Links" portion of the blog. The coaches will determine who plays on which team.
