The sound of the packed student section was loud from the cheering in their Liberty gear at the throwback basketball game on Feb. 3. The Blue Crew Crazies are making sure that this game will continue to be special and they are doing lots of elements to make this game special like hosting it in the Cokley gym and wearing old liberty jerseys and decorating the Cokley Gym with posters and old uniforms.

     “We rented out throwback jerseys, the pants, the shorts, all the gear that the old Liberty players used to do. We’re going to have newspapers to hold up while the opposing teams are being announced. 
It’s just gonna be a lot of fun,” senior John Pace said.

   The throwback game was introduced by the Blew Crew Crazies because they wanted to start a tradition at Liberty that hadn’t been done before. The Bell Newspaper EIC, senior Kora Smit,h designed old-time newspapers for this event.

   This will be the fourth year the club has hosted the Throwback game and they continue to revamp and revise the event. 

    “They started three years ago when the Blue Crew Crazies group began,”  Blue Crew Crazies advisor Trisha Middleton said. 

     According to the article Goodbye Cokely, Cokely Gym is a historic indoor athletic facility at Liberty High School. It is one of the closest to the action and loudest facilities in the area. The gym is named after Charles Cokely, a former coach here at LHS. 

    Even though the Throwback game ended with a loss of 79-74, with the Park Hill Trojans winning the game after going into overtime four timess resulting in the Jays’ loss.
