Minarets is 0-3 against Liberty since October of 2022 but things could change on Friday. The Mustangs will square off against the Hawks at 7:00 p.m. Both teams are still undefeated after six games, but that won't be the case come Friday.

Minarets will bounce into Friday's contest after beating Caruthers, who they had gone 1-8 against in their nine prior meetings. The Mustangs came out on top against the Blue Raiders by a score of 36-27 on Friday. Given the Mustangs' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 317th, while the Blue Raiders are ranked 658th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Minarets can attribute much of their success to Torin Wolf, who threw for 233 yards and two touchdowns on only 19 passes, and James Suehiro, who rushed for 97 yards and a pair of scores on only 12 carries.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Liberty). They claimed a resounding 55-14 victory over Fowler. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Hawks just coasted through the last quarter.

One reason for the win was Liberty's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for seven sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Brody Sisco and Isac Garcia, who racked up four sacks between them.

Minarets' record is now 6-0. As for Liberty, their record now sits at an identical 6-0.

Minarets lost to Liberty on the road by a decisive 35-21 margin in their previous meeting back in October of 2024. Can the Mustangs avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
