Kenzi Kutch drives the ball against a stout Liberty North defense.

Two games added up to two losses – one in overtime – for the Kearney Bulldogs last night.

The girls fell 42-37 after back-to-back 3-pointers by Jadyn Barnes and Macy Hughes pulled the Bulldogs within 3 points of the Liberty North Eagles.

Maddi Stevens led the team with 12 points in a tough, physical contest. Macy Hughes had 9 points, Jojo Kutch had 8, and Jadyn Barnes scored 6.

Manny Linthacum shoots the 3-pointer.

Meanwhile, the Boys took their game into overtime as Davin Hanna tied the score at 38-all with a 2-point jumper late in the fourth period. Hanna’s 12-point game wasn’t enough to overcome Liberty North in the 45-38 overtime loss.
