CENTRAL — After falling behind by 11 points early in the third quarter, the Daniel High
School boys’ basketball team looked like a team on a mission against 2A’s top-ranked Liberty Red Devils on Friday night.
James Epting caught fire hitting four three-pointers and Morehead State bound big man Jackson Conley joined in on the offense combining for a 17-0 run to put Daniel ahead 36-28.
With their backs against the wall, the Red Devils slowly worked their way back before an explosive fourth quarter led by senior Ethan Moses helped Liberty pick up a 53-45 win for their first victory over Daniel since 2017.
“They went on the 17-0 run and hit some big shots and really sucked the

Instead, the Lions were unable to maintain their first half tenacity in their fourth game in five days, as the Green Wave battled back to take a 57-50 win.
“I told our guys, and I have to take responsibility, but we really have to be tougher down the stretch,” Daniel head coach Ben Touchberry said. “They played harder, they got the 50-50 balls, they out rebounded us and they out executed us.”
While the Green Wave managed to spread the ball during the course of its second half surge, the inside-out play of 6’5” junior forward RJ Stack stood out as he went toe-to-toe with Daniel’s Morehead State bound big man
