Jays Have A Great Summer

The Lady Jays had a great summer of workouts and games. The Jays participated in both the Northland League and the Blue Springs South League, compiling a 14-2 record. Liberty also spent a weekend at the University of Missouri Team Camp. Although the record wasn't what the Jays wanted they really learned some good lessons on how to compete against some of the top teams in the state and what level of intensity they needed to compete.

During the summer the Jays played the majority of their games with a roster of one junior, seven sophomores and three freshmen. Missing this summer were two seniors who had prior commitments for the summer. Although the Jays were very young, they made huge strides to becoming a very good team for this season. They are replacing five seniors from a 19-6 team in 2007-2008, including three seniors that are now playing basketball collegiately.
