On Thursday night, they downed the Estacado Matadors (7-3, 3-1) on \u201cThursday Night Throwdown\u201d 49-22. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">RB Talon Wilcox scored first for Liberty, when he pushed the ball across the goal line- giving the Patriots a 7-0 lead. The Red, White, &amp; Blue doubled its lead minutes later in the first with when QB Colton Bichard connected with WR Will Hutson, making it 14-0.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The Matadors responded early in the second when QB Jayric Ward found RB\/WR Cedric Ross on a swing pass, cutting the lead down to 14-8. Liberty answered with a 25yd TD pass from Bichard to Pierce Fioroni- upping the score to 21-8. In the second half, Liberty went on a 28-15 run to secure the win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The only thing separating the Patriots from an outright district title is a win at Levelland next Friday. Mathematically, a loss could result in a three-way tie. The Matadors will be off next week and will prepare for playoff competition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcbd.com\/page\/the-end-zone\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.kcbd.com\/page\/the-end-zone\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to download the End Zone app, which is available in your App, Android, and Google store.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2025 KCBD.
