CULLOWHEE, N.C. (AP) -- Liberty's Tavares Speaks hit two free throws with 5 seconds left after Western Carolina called a timeout it didn't have and was assessed a technical foul, giving the Flames a 63-62 win Monday.

Trey Sumler, who led the Catamounts (4-9) with 23 points, missed a jumper with 3 seconds left and the Flames (4-10) rebounded to win their third straight game and first of the season against a Division I opponent.

Speaks scored 13 points while Tomasz Gielo had 10 points and a career-high 11 rebounds for Liberty, which committed a season-high 24 turnovers.

The Flames closed out the first half on a 10-0 run to lead 29-22. Liberty maintained the advantage until Sumler's two free throws with 58 seconds left made it 59-58.

After Sumler's three-point play with 10 seconds left, John Caleb Sanders answered with a three-point play for Liberty, and the Western Carolina bench called time out.

Liberty #39;s Kids America the Beautiful
Hello everyone, 2013 is upon us. I wish you all a great and happy New year. This video of mine is different from the previous slide show ones I #39;ve done. I wanted to try something new and see how it would be recieved. I LOVE Misty River #39;s version of "America the Beautiful" from the moment I heard it in the trailer for "Assassin #39;s Creed III." I also love the show "Liberty #39;s Kids" and I thought it would be a cool idea to put them both together. I do not own the song or the opening for "Liberty #39;s Kids." Let me know what you think of this video, this is the first one of this kind I #39;ve ever done so Im a novice at this for the time being, but I #39;ll have more to come and put together more. Enjoy! Comment and subscribe too 🙂

2012 AUTOZONE LIBERTY BOWL Preview

WEST LIBERTY, Iowa Its been 177 years since Enos Nyce braved what then were the wilds of Iowa to stake a claim in a territory known today as West Liberty.

Today, the hand-hewn log cabin that sheltered Nyces family survives only in the images historians paint to describe those early days.

Nyces story and those of other pioneering West Liberty residents will be recalled throughout 2013 in celebration of West Libertys landmark 175th birthday.

Letha Ottaway, chief operating office for the West Liberty Chamber of Commerce, said the festivities begin at 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 5, with a kick-off celebration at the West Liberty Community Center, 1204 N. Calhoun St.

The public is welcome, said Ottaway. And we want to extend the invitation to the entire Muscatine County.

The free event includes dinner and historical presentations by West Liberty residents Pam Schnittjer, Jody Dvorak and Bill Koellner. Schnittjer, Dvorak and Koellner will dress in period costumes and portray Rachel Gibson-Nichols, Mary Nyce and William A. Clark, respectively, all of whom were part of the citys history.

Memorabilia, including a picture book People, Places and Things, with photos from the 1930s until now, will be on sale said anniversary celebration chairman John Donnelly.

Donnellys group began meeting a year ago, and separate committees are overseeing activities for the coming months.

We went from six people at our first meetings, to 20 active committee members, said Donnelly.

The group was meeting at the West Liberty Depot, and happily accepted an offer to meet in the spacious West Liberty Foods board room, said Donnelly.

From Liberty athletics:

LYNCHBURG, Va. The Liberty men's basketball team's post players shined inside the Vines Center, Friday night, guiding the Flames to a 104-67 victory over Union College.

Liberty's point total is its highest of the season, marking the first time the Flames have reached the century mark since defeating VMI, 100-82, on Jan. 20, 2011.

Four players led Liberty's offense with 14 points JR Coronado, Davon Marshall, Andrew Smith and Tavares Speaks. Along with his career-high scoring performance, Coronado posted a career-high 16 rebounds. Smith's 14 tallies were also a career-high for the sophomore forward. Marshall added a career-high nine assists to accompany his point total.

Playing in his fifth contest since returning to the Flames' lineup, Joel Vander Pol closed out the night with a season-high 12 points and a career-high 11 boards. Chad Donley rounded out Liberty's double-digit scorers, posting a career-high 10 points.

Deante Johnson paced the Bulldogs with a game-high 17 points, followed by Tyler Wagner, who chipped in 15.

With the victory, Liberty moves to 3-10 on the year, while Union College falls to 7-7. Liberty is now 2-0 all-time against the Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs led by as much as three in the opening minutes, but the Flames gained the lead thanks to a Marshall three-pointer at 17:25. Tyrell Hall tied the contest at seven 30 ticks later. Liberty then responded with five unanswered points from Marshall and Vander Pol to take a 12-7 advantage at 15:38.

With the Flames holding a three-point edge under the 13-minute mark, Smith wowed the Vines Center with a one-handed jam. Donley fed the ball to the 6-9 sophomore, who proceeded to cut toward the basket and flush the high percentage shot, giving Liberty a 19-14 lead at 12:25.

The Bulldogs made it a four-point game courtesy of Johnson jumper at 9:30. The Flames proceeded to outscore Union College, 10-1, over the next 3:27 to expand their advantage to 13, 35-22, at 6:03.

Steve Ehrhart, director of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, says planning the game is a "year-round endeavor."

By late morning on Christmas Eve, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl offices in East Memphis were a hub of activity. Steve Ehrhart, the bowl's director for almost two decades now, sat in a chair behind a desk so filled with papers and file folders that it was hard to see the color of the surface. The desk phone rang every few minutes.

This shouldn't be surprising. After all, the one football game that is the culmination of his year was only seven days and a few hours away.

What still surprises Ehrhart, though, are friends who will tease him in the coming months about how he has nothing at all to do.

"It's a year-round endeavor and it starts next week when we have some meetings with some other bowls down at the BCS Championship Game," he said, referring to the bowls' get-together in Miami. "So people say, 'Well, you're going to take some time off?' "

At that, he laughs.

But this year's "offseason" is more important than most. In the coming months, the Liberty Bowl will try to strike a deal with the best conferences it can to send teams to Memphis beginning with the 2014 game. It's the product of a ripple effect: The Liberty Bowl's contracts are up at the same time the rest of the bowl system is being overhauled. So while college football fans celebrate the arrival of a four-team playoff beginning that year, the folks who run Memphis' decades-old postseason game try to make sense of their place in the structure of it all.

At this crossroads of sorts, and on the eve of Monday's game between Tulsa and Iowa State, a look at the bowl's public financial records and an extended interview with Ehrhart help shine a light on what it takes to put on this Memphis tradition and where it's heading.

What it takes

AutoZone Liberty Bowl approaching important 'offseason'

Posted: Dec. 29, 2012 | 2:01 a.m.

Liberty girls basketball coach Rich Santigate knows playing in close games helps his team's maturation process.

The Patriots took a big step forward Friday.

Free throws by senior Tae'lor Monroe and junior Sydney Clark in the final 44 seconds gave Liberty enough cushion to gain a 51-47 victory over West Torrance (Calif.) in the Las Vegas Holiday Classic at Centennial.

The Patriots (11-4), who beat Shadow Ridge, 60-10 earlier Friday, finished 4-0 in pool play to earn a spot in today's semifinals at 11:40 a.m. The championship is scheduled at 3:40 p.m. Liberty has won 10 straight games since a 1-4 start.

"Playing a game like this really gives you confidence," Santigate said. "We missed a lot of foul shots down the stretch, but we made the ones when we needed them."

The Patriots hit 4 of 6 free throws in the final 44 seconds to overcome a 13-for-26 overall performance from the line.

Sophomore Paris Strawther led the Patriots with 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Clark supplied 12 points.

Liberty was in control 31-22 early in the third quarter before a 3-point barrage carried West Torrance into the lead.

Sydney Chase, who made seven 3s to score a game-high 21 points, nailed one from behind the arc to cap an 18-8 surge that put West Torrance ahead 40-39 with 4:59 remaining.

Crews are working on a new 12-lane bowling alley in Liberty. Contractor Marcos Lopez hangs drywall at the new Liberty Lanes, which could be ready and open for business in late January.DAVID DOONAN/For the Times Herald Record

LIBERTY Bursts from nail guns echoed around the cavernous interior of what used to be the home of Eckert's Drugs in the Liberty Square strip mall.

As a pair of men finished laying strips of hardwood flooring, A.C. Patel sat on a platform stroking strips of wood with a brush filled with a finish.

His broken left foot was wrapped in a protective boot, but the owner of the Kiamesha Lanes bowling alley and Liberty Square refused to be a passive participant in his latest venture: the construction of a new bowling alley in Liberty.

Months after the Fix family ended the 42-year run of Liberty Lanes, Patel and a crew of workers were putting the finishing touches on a new 12-lane alley that, too, will be called Liberty Lanes.

The pinsetters have been installed as well as the lanes as part of a roughly $300,000 makeover. Patel estimates that he will open the doors to bowlers by late January. "As soon as we open we will start some short-season leagues," he said.

The opening will bring some relief to bowlers who were stunned in August when Bobby and Arvilla Fix announced the closure of Liberty Lanes, which the family had run since 1970.

Megaman: The Power Battle - Megaman #39;s Ending Re-animated
Well, I had nothing to do today - so I remade the ending to "Megaman: The Power Battle"! I always thought the artwork on the original version looked a little goofy, particularly on Roll, but maybe this is just my pet peeve :P. I also took the liberty of adding extra animation for character #39;s emotions. Is it just me, or do I only use this channel around Christmas/New Year time? Oh well. Next up, something FHFIF related!
