Team of the Week: No. 7 Lubbock-Cooper Liberty tops Frenship 44-13 in first-ever meeting - KCBD

No. 7 Lubbock-Cooper Liberty handed the Frenship Tigers a 44-13 loss at Peoples Bank Stadium in Wolfforth, the first time these two schools have ever met on a football field.

Frenship drew first blood when quarterback James Ordonez connected with Zade McClure for a touchdown, but that early lead did not last long. Liberty quarterback Cy Leach took over from there, and the Patriots turned what could have been a close district rivalry into a 44-6 run that put the game away.

The win comes one week after Liberty opened the season with a 49-14 victory over Frenship Memorial, meaning the Patriots have now outscored opponents 93-27 across their first two games. A ranked Cooper squad rolling through back-to-back opponents by those kinds of margins is the sort of start that gets attention fast around Lubbock. KCBD named Liberty this week's End Zone Team of the Week, with an interview set to air Sunday evening.

Next Friday, the Patriots host Midland Greenwood with a chance to move to 3-0. The source material cuts off before finishing the note about last year's result against the Rangers, so that matchup history stays an open question heading into what shapes up as the first real test of the season.
