Liberty High’s football team was outscored 21-7 in the final three quarters and lost its season opener at home to Temecula Valley Friday night, 28-21.
The Bison had a 14-7 lead when the visiting Golden Bears scored on a rushing touchdown late in the second quarter, then followed it up with a pass TD right before halftime to take a 21-14 lead. They increased their advantage of 28-14 on a rushing TD in the fourth quarter.
Liberty cut the deficit to 28-21 with a touchdown pass late in the game, and that’s the way it ended.
The Bison will play a nonleague game at Sultana on Thursday.

While I completely understand that this is a Team sport due to playing it in the pass. There were other teammates that contributed to last night’s game. Number 4 Dominic who caught a touchdown pass late in the 4th qtr to bring the Bison within a touchdown of the final score. Number 81 whom also scored on a receiving touchdown from Devin. Last but now least number 13 CJ DeBose whose name I heard over the loud speaker more than several times last night. DeBose (whom was mentioned in the last interview prior to the start of the season) had at least 6 or 7 carries last night while averaging 5 to 6 yards per carry. He also had a nice return during the kickoff before the half. In the future I’d ask that we highlight all the players that help get the team to the end of the game win or lose. They’ve put in to much time and effort over the summer not to be recognized by the public. Especially for the ones that are truly striving to play at the next level.
