All the scoring was done in the 2nd quarter, putting the game on the line with every possession in the 2nd half. Liberty’s offense banked a total of 277 yards on 53 plays. Senior quarterback Kaden Nolan was 2 for 6, passing for 49 yards. Liberty’s leading rusher was Mason Goudeau, who had 112 yards on 12 carries and 1 touchdown. The leading Panther receiver was junior Gavin Fontenot, with one reception for 44 yards. Liberty’s defensive squad was on the field a lot. They were led by linebackers Colby Ewing and William Waldrip, holding the Diboll passing attack in check by putting pressure on their quarterback. A new standout for Liberty was kicker/ punter Jaden Shimp who walked on last week at the request of friends on the team. He punted five times in the 2nd half and consistently pinned Diboll deep in their own territory. His longest of the night was a 54-yarder. He was also perfect on his two extra-point attempts. Liberty did turn the ball over on a fumble in the 4th quarter.

They were missing their kicker/punter and their key running back from last week’s contest. Once again, however, Liberty’s defensive squad did an excellent job by containing Madisonville’s elusive quarterback and only allowing one offensive score.
