Liberty Hill will head into Friday's game hoping to keep the good times rolling: they had to skate by with only a three-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 22-point drubbing they dealt Cedar Park on Friday.

The Panthers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 11 contests by 21 points or more this season.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Leander). They secured a 67-61 W over Glenn on Friday. Given the Lions' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 105th, while the Grizzlies are ranked 368th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
