The Liberty Union Lions will head out on the road to face off against the KIPP Columbus Jaguars at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Hopefully Liberty Union focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 12 on Thursday.
Liberty Union's game was all tied up 30-30 at the half, but sadly for them it didn't stay that way. They fell just short of New Philadelphia by a score of 54-51. While losing is never fun, Liberty Union can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 479th, while New Philadelphia is ranked 236th).
Despite their loss, Liberty Union saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Tomas Winter, who scored 21 points, was perhaps the best of all. Winter is trending in the right direction, as he's improved his point production for three games straight. The team also got some help courtesy of Cooper Manson, who scored ten points along with five assists.
Meanwhile, KIPP Columbus was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their third straight loss. They were just a bucket shy of victory and fell 56-55 to Northside Christian. Having run the score up that high, both teams probably have some extra defensive drills coming up.
Liberty Union's record is now 9-13. KIPP Columbus' record now sits at 11-10.
