Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Liberty Hill walked away with it. They managed a 39-34 victory over the Jefferson Mustangs on Saturday. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 69th, while the Mustangs are ranked 395th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Jefferson's loss came despite a true team effort with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Trey Perez, who en route to 14 points and five boards. The team also got some help courtesy of Adrien Reyna, who posted eight points and five rebounds.
Liberty Hill has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 23 of their last 24 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 31-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 58.8 points over those games. Jefferson's defeat dropped their record down to 22-13.
Looking ahead, Liberty Hill will be playing at home against Rowe at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Rowe comes in on five and Liberty Hill on 18. Jefferson does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
