After spending a good portion of the first half on the bench in foul trouble, Liberty Center’s Emerson Gray caught fire after halftime, scoring 20 of her game-high 21 points to lead her Lady Tigers to a 47-32 victory over the Archbold Lady Blue Streaks on Thursday night in the Thunderdome. Playing an aggressive and physical defense, the Tigers were whistled for four fouls in the first 1:45, totaled eight fouls for the quarter and found themselves down 10-7 after one.
With Gray on the bench, Liberty Center eased up on the defensive pressure and was able generate more offense, out scoring the Streaks 13-4 in the second quarter to take a 20-14 lead into the locker room. The second half saw Gray take over the offense, scoring seven points in the third then icing the game in the fourth quarter with 13 more points, including three straight baskets from beyond the arc.
With the loss, Archbold’s record moves to 7-8 overall and 0-2 in the NWOAL. Their next league game is Thursday, January 25th in Delta against the Lady Panthers. Liberty Center improves to 11-1 on the season and 2-0 in the league. They will travel to Swanton next Thursday to take on the Lady Bulldogs.
