Second Half Spoils Lady Skins’ Homecoming

Hays out scored Liberal 35-16 in the second half of their 55-39 win at Liberal on homecoming night Friday. Liberal led 23-20 at halftime but saw the Lady Indians who had lost six of their last seven games go on a 17-7 third quarter run. Hays snaps a five game losing streak against Liberal. The Lady Indians are 5-12 overall and 2-3 in the WAC while Liberal falls to 10-6 overall and 2-3 in the WAC. Justice Norah scored 19 in the loss. Liberal head coach Shane Stout says he shoulders the blame. “I’ll take the blame for this one,” Stout said. “The head coach didn’t have us prepared very well. We can’t let the same girl who had 21 points at Hays have 21 tonight. I put the girls in poor position to hold her down.” Hays’ Lindsey Schmeidler scored 21 points using her 5’11” heighth over the top of the Lady Skin man-to-man. Liberal hosts Sunrise Christian Saturday night at 6 PM on Talkradio 1270.
