Liberty High School Basketball Coach Roger Stirtz is the recipient of the 2021 Paul Lambert Coach of the Year Award.
The Paul Lambert Award is named after Paul Lambert Jr., a 1956 graduate of William Jewell College. Lambert died tragically in a hotel fire in 1978.
🚨“It is exciting adding someone with two years of high level experience, including playing in a National Championship. As a person & player, he will impact our program in many positive ways. On the floor, his versatility has always helped his teams win. Macaleb is a winner.”
124 seasons of Cardinal basketball and no one has been on the court more in a Jewell uniform 🤯
With a full 40 last night, Mason Alexander becomes the program’s all-time leader in career minutes.
We wanted to wait for your next home game to publicly recognize this accomplishment but what we didn’t know was that it would be 318 days until that came along.
Congratulations

A team’s bench demeanor from players is a pretty strong indicator as to the health of the team’s chemistry. Enthusiastic benches show an all-in, selfless mentality. Thanks
