No. 6 Lubbock-Cooper Liberty gains revenge over Midland Greenwood with 56-25 win - kcbd.com

No. 6 Lubbock-Cooper Liberty beat Midland Greenwood 56-25 Friday night at Patriot Stadium, the Patriots' first win over Greenwood in school history.

Liberty jumped out fast. QB Cy Leach handed off twice to RB Talon Wildcox to build a 14-0 lead, then a J.J. Thompson score pushed it to 21-0 before Greenwood could find its footing. The win erases last year's loss to Greenwood, a result that had stuck with the program.

For a Lubbock-Cooper fanbase that watches this team climb the state rankings every fall, Friday's win carries weight. Patriot Stadium crowds have grown used to blowouts this season, but revenge over a program that owned the series stands out in a town where high school football conversations dominate Saturday morning coffee shops from Lubbock-Cooper out to the rest of the South Plains.

The schedule does not get easier. Liberty heads up I-27 next Friday to face the 2-1 West Plains Wolves, another non-district test that will tell people here whether this offense can keep scoring at this pace against a team playing better ball than Greenwood managed.

Fifty-six points against a team that beat you last year is one way to answer questions about this Liberty squad.
