Team Summary:
Fort Zumwalt South only led twice and the last time was 13-12 with 1:15 left in the first quarter. They really only one option today on offense and that was #5) EJ Bellinger that had a game high 26 (Post has 28). #24) Darious Thomas (8 points) tried to take some of the load but he went 0 for 7 in the first quarter and did have a good fourth quarter but shot 3 for 14 from the field. They didnt have an answer for Liberty’s #24) Kale Catchings inside but alot of teams has that problem. They got out rebounded 32-26 and took 22 three pointers. They tried hard but was second best today but have another chance at them on 2/20.

Liberty doesn’t get enough credit on how they play defense. They play physical and nobody backs away. They held a team that only lost two games till today to 17/51 from the field(33%). They best them on the boards. They didn’t have an answer for #5) Bellinger but they kept every one else in single digits. They hit all 10 of their free throws in the fourth quarter. They had 12 second chance points to South’s six. #24) Kale Catchings had 23 points and probably the best game I’ve seen from him this year. They play each other on the 20th at South.
