Practice To Start November 10th

The start of the Liberty Blue Jays basketball season will be pushed back a week this year and begin on Monday, November 10th. The reason for the later start is to allow athletes in fall sports a longer break between seasons. The Missouri State High School Activities Association added an additional playoff game for football this season, making it tougher for those athletes to transition to their winter sport.

State Champion

Endsley Evans, a freshman member of the basketball team, won the Class 2 Girl's State Golf Championship this week. Evans, a post player on the basketball team, shot a 77 on Monday to take the overall lead and followed it up with an 80 to take a share of the state title.
