Liberty and Jefferson Forest already lost to Brookville this season. The Minutemen and the Cavaliers renewed their rivalry this week with both teams wanting to keep pace in the Seminole, while jockeying for playoff seeding. They had split their last 8 meetings.
Domonique Royal and Anna Clay the homecoming king and queen tonight.
JF's Ryan Crist got things cooking for the Cavaliers from the start of the second half. He looked down the near sideline and the jump ball went to the Cavaliers as Cody Loveday came down with the ball in the end zone. The Cavs came creeping back only down by 8 early in the third quarter.
Liberty turned to Matthew Smith who received the hand off and saw nothing but daylight on the 62 yard touchdown run and the Minutemen turn the scoreboard again, ahead 29 to 14 with 4:40 to go in the third quarter.
Crist went to work again through the air. This time he found David Jacobs on the 28 yard completion and the Cavs were on the move. Later in the drive, David Aveson used some fancy footwork as he cut the rug through the Liberty secondary and found the end zone and it was an 8 point game again.
On fourth and inches at the 2 yard line Austin Porter punched in another six and the Minutemen went up by 14 with 5:11 to go in the game.
Liberty knocked off Jefferson Forest 36 to 28.
