The Widefield Gladiators''s game last Friday was a tough loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Saturday. They strolled past Liberty with points to spare, taking the game 30-14. That result was just more of the same for these two, as Widefield also won the last time the pair played back in October of 2022.
Among those leading the charge was Paul Mitchell, who threw for 158 yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Angelo Thomas also deserves a shout-out for his two touchdowns.
Several Lancers players turned in solid performances, despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Elijah Rupejko, who rushed for 23 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 97 yards and a touchdown.
Widefield's win was their seventh straight at home (dating back to last season), bumping their overall record up to 8-2. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 33.1 points per game. As for Liberty, they have not been sharp recently, as they've lost three of their last four matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-6 record this season.
Widefield does not have any more games scheduled as of now. Liberty also has no future games currently scheduled.
