Game Audio Below:
The Liberty Eagles traveled to Springfield, Missouri this last Friday night for Round two of The Class 2 District Football Tournament off the heels of a 58-28 victory last week over Forsyth. Eagles played a very tough game but were outdone by only one point on the verge of Halftime as The Springfield Catholic Fighting Irish won the ballgame by a Final of 29-28.
Unlike last week penalties were not as bad of an issue for the Eagles as they played a great first half on offense. Eagles held a 20-7 lead at the half with backfield strides from Junior RB Wyatt Cox as well as a Pick-Six from Sophomore WR Carter Ellett.
Defensively; Eagles struggled to contain Senior Fighting Irish Running Back, Sam Boster. Even in the first half, Boster proved to be a threat on Carries as well as yardage and this later proved to be true of fumbles. Catholic was able to take advantage of The Eagles efforts to get creative in the Final five seconds after the final interception.
Liberty will the 2026 Football Season with a Season record of 8-3.
