LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – This week’s “Thursday Night Throwdown” could likely decide the district champion as Estacado (7-2, 3-0) hosts Lubbock-Cooper Liberty (7-1, 2-0).
“We can’t wait. When you get to play a quality team like Estacado on Thursday night on TV, it’s something that all of our kids have been looking forward to, coaches are excited, and this game is going to be no different. Coach Ward does a great job over there, and he’s going to have his guys ready to go. It’s going to be a playoff atmosphere over there,” said Liberty head coach Joe Sexton.
“Very solid program, credit to (Liberty’s) coaches, but you know our preparation and our practice style determines how well we’re going to play, and that’s the emphasis is practicing hard and going out there and playing as hard as we can, so it would mean a lot for our program to continue that trend in terms of going out there and competing for another district championship and coming away with it,” Estacado head coach Eric Ward said.
Tonight’s showdown gets underway 7 p.m. at Lowrey Field. KLCW Lubbock’s CW is free antenna channel 22.1, Optimum 4, Dish Network 22, DirecTV 22, UVerse 1022, Vexus 709. It is also available on YouTube TV and Hulu Live.
