No. 6 Lubbock-Cooper Liberty completes 29-28 comeback at No. 7 West Plains - KCBD

The Patriots stayed unbeaten at 4-0, and this one tested them more than anything else on the schedule so far. Down seven late, Liberty scored a touchdown that would have tied the game. Rather than kick the extra point and force overtime, the Patriots went for two and converted, turning a tie into a win.

A missed conversion would have sent Liberty home 3-1 against a ranked opponent. Instead, the Patriots left Canyon with a win over a fellow top-ten team.

For a program chasing an unbeaten season, that kind of finish means more than the final score suggests. Liberty now heads home to host Plainview next Friday looking to go 5-0, carrying the confidence of a team that just answered its toughest test with the boldest possible call.

No overtime, no field goal try, no hedge. Liberty had a chance to tie a ranked opponent on the road and chose to win outright instead.
