    Liberal Lady Bulldogs played an incredible five sets against the Billings Lady Wildcats, but in the end came up just short of snatching the Quarterfinals title. The season ended with a 24-8-2 record. The Bulldogs were back to back District and Sectional champions. The seniors that contributed so much to the team will be missed. They are Ally Barton, Teagan Dyer, Ava Garrett and Sadie Meadows. They have been the ultimate leaders to the younger, exhibiting hard work and positivity. Congratulations on a season well played. Liberal Lady Bulldogs end season with a 24-8-2 record
