Lee Hatcher scored 18 and Hunter Hatcher had 13.  They combined to shoot all six of Liberal’s free throws.  The Panthers out rebounded the Redskins 25-18.  The Redskins shot 35 percent from the field which is near their season average.  LHS was 7-25 from three point range.  Liberal only committed six turnovers and Great Bend had nine.
