The Flames take care of Division III Clarks Summit, 81-33, in Liberty’s final home game of the 2016 calendar year. Here’s our rapid reactions:

  1. We’ll keep this short and quick as we’re not going to learn much from a win against a team that has lost by 40+ against a couple of sub-DI teams. This was Liberty’s first game without Caleb Homesley who is out for the season with a knee injury. Ryan Kemrite also sat out the game despite warming up with the team and being dressed. No word on his status immediately.
  2. It was nice to see the Flames take care of business, and early. They jumped out to an early lead and the game was never really in question.
  3. Myo Baxter-Bell had the best game of his redshirt-freshman season, finishing with his first career double-double. He finished the game with 16 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists.
  4. Brock Gardner had a career high in points finishing with 18 points.
  5. John Dawson with his best game since William & Mary several weeks ago. Liberty’s senior caption scored 14 points on the night. The Flames will need him during conference play.
  6. Liberty hits the road the next couple of weeks, beginning Monday night at Lamar in Texas.
