Liberty Park earns first girls basketball trophy in school history

Liberty Park Middle School took a roster of seven players and finished second in the 2016 Metro Tournament.

Despite having the smallest number of players than any other team, the Lancers were good enough to bring home the first girls basketball trophy in the school's history.

The seventh grade girls team defeated Bragg, Homewood, and Hewitt-Trussville before falling to Mountain Brook Junior High in the championship game on Thursday night.

Rachel Hall led the team, averaging 12 points per game in the tournament. Led by coach Allison Charles, the other six players on the team are Alison Stubbs, Cristina Hernandez, Julia Altamirano, Julie Dixon, Katherine Rohner, and Kathryn Witherington.
