In their previous meeting,
Liberty made a narrow escape with a 42 - 39 win over
Heritage. The rematch, however, was a total reversal. Liberty was crushed by Heritage 51 - 21 last week.
Liberty's defense took a beating in the first half, giving up 21 points. That put it down 21 - 14. The defense wasn't great in the second half either, allowing another 30 points.
Heritage found its leader in an underclassman: Matt Sanders ran for 145 yards and also punched in two touchdowns, which was enough to make him one of the team's best players.
Heritage is now evened up at 4-4. Liberty's record fell to 1-7 after the loss. It is on an unfortunate four-game losing streak.
The teams are out to raise these records in their next games. Heritage will square off against Wakeland this Thursday at 7:00 PM. Meanwhile, Liberty will look to defend its home turf against Frisco this Friday at 7:00 PM.
