Coach Jimmy Zachery
The crowd was cheering and football was in the air as the game started. Liberty needed to use a timeout in their beginning drive to avoid penalty but, after the shaky start they marched down the field and ended with a touchdown pass from Brice Preston to Conner Nairn to put Liberty up 6-0 due to a missed extra point.
After a slew of turnovers on down and a Southern Lab injury Liberty broke away for Zaiden Foster’s first touchdown of the day for 60 yards to put them up 13-0. After 2 Liberty field goals Southern Lab has a strong drive led by quarterback Jerry Botley that ends in a touchdown. But, Southern Lab has a failed 2 point conversion leaving the score at 19-6 Liberty to end the first half.
At the beginning of the third though Southern Lab drives down the field from a previously struggling run game, this ends in a rushing touchdown from Jerry Botley which puts the score at 19-12 off of a second failed 2-point conversion from Southern Lab. Then, Liberty has a strong drive with a big catch from WR Justin Thomas that ends in a goal line score and 2-point conversion from Zaiden Foster putting the score 27-12 Liberty to end the third.
In response Southern Lab has a long drive that gets chippy with Liberty picking up a flag for playing after the whistle. With all of this and a strong run game from Southern Lab they score a touchdown and 2-point from the same pitch play making the score 27-20. But, Liberty quickly responds with almost exclusively a drive of just runs to Foster getting the touchdown and extra point through him putting the score at 35-20.

To respond to the score Liberty put the ball in Zaiden Foster’s hands and he delivers with a 40 yard run for the touchdown. But, a failed 2-point keeps the score 41-28. Then, with a must-score drive for Southern Lab they start off strong with passes from Botley to move the chains that is abruptly stopped by Liberty’s defense who came up with 2 sacks to seal the game at a 41-28 Liberty win.
