It’s the annual Liberty Invitational Tournament from Mountain View, MO. The first night we had Eminence going up against Mammoth Spring in the first game and in the second game of the evening we saw Thayer going up against Winona.
Game One: It was a tight game throughout for the Red Wings from Eminence and the Bears from Mammoth Spring. Marrow from Mammoth would lead all scorers with 20 points and Young also had double digit points with 15 leading the Bears to a very narrow victory 50-48. The Eminence Red Wings were led by Boyles who came off the bench and hit four 3-pointers for a total of 12 points, while Keeling also had 12 points as the Red Wings would come up just short. The Bears will move on in the Liberty Invitational Tournament while the Red Wings will move to the consolation rounds.
Game Two: This one was a little bit more disparaging in the final score. Jordan Andrews would lead all scorers for the Thayer Bobcats with 18 points. The Winona Wildcats were led by VanWinkle who scored 8 in the game. The Bobcats showed their dominance in all facets of the game as they got ahead early and never looked back, at the half it was 39-14 and the final was 63-22 in favor of the Thayer Bobcats. The Bobcats will move on in the tournament while the Wildcats will move to the consolation rounds.
Coming up Tuesday night we will have the continuation of the Liberty Invitational Tournament.
Once again, your finals;
Eminence 48; Mammoth Spring 50
Thayer 63; Winona 22
