STRUTHERS OH- One of the goals of Liberty girls basketball this season was to win a district championship. After winning their first 13 games, it became more and more clear that that goal could become a reality. Their only loss of the season for the Leopards came against Brookfield.

Liberty won the season series with Brookfield by beating them in the championship game 52-39.

The Leopards were led by Aaliyah Foster who rocked the stage with 20 points. Demi Watson also shines bright scoring 17 points for Liberty.
