Liberty vs. Salado

[Beastking14]

Anyone know anything about this Salado team ? 

What's in store for Liberty ?

[camsdad]

They were district champs and finished the season 8-2. That’s all I know. Go Panthers!

[GUNHO]

They finished 9-1 with their only loss coming to second place Fairfield in their district.They played a lot of 3A schools in pre district that weren't very good.So the 9-1 record really is not as good as it would be if they played better teams.I think you guys have a good shot to take them.

[GUNHO]

For what it's worth DC has Salado by 11.I think that's a stretch.JMO.

I know Bellville had no problem with them last year.

CalPrep Prediction - SALADO 35, LIBERTY 21

Fairfield finished 4th in that district

Is this going to be broadcasted on the radio?  I tried to see if KSHN was going to be covering it but had no luck.

[ladybug33]

Maybe Texanlive.com for a fee.

[Coach32]

Not from what I can see. :/ the WOS/Mexia game is but Liberty/Salado isn't on the schedule.

The only alternative is to tune in to Maxpreps, Christine B. will be the live reporter giving updated information about scores in the game. Good luck.

kshn will stream it online so there is no reason not to believe they won't be on the radio:

You are correct.I was looking at the standings and 2,3 and 4th finished with 3-2 records.I didn't bother to see who beat who to see how they finished. My bad.

[Coach32]

Thank you so much! I must of missed it on the website. GOOD LUCK PANTHERS!!!

I honestly think liberty made Salado look better than they actually are.

True. I made the trip to Bryan to watch the Liberty vs. Salado game. Hardly any video is available online about Salado's 2017 team, so I wanted to see for myself. Greg Tepper picked this team as the sleeper in 4AD2 Region 3. I am not a coach, but here are a few notes about them...

1) Slot-T offense. They like to break the huddle and hurry up to the line of scrimmage for a quick snap every time.  

2) Two smallish tailbacks with some quickness. 

3) The QB never keeps the ball (always hands off).

4) They showed an interest in passing the ball a little more than most slot-T teams. 

5) Not much size. Their O-line was mostly lean guys (maybe 200 - 210 pounders). I did not have a game program to know for sure, but this is how they looked to me.  

6) Defense was average. Liberty does not help themselves with the type of meat grinder offense they run, but an offense with some speed and using space can hurt Salado. They looked a little soft up the middle with average speed. Their offense is clearly better than their defense. 

7) Excellent kicker. He will mix up kickoffs - sometimes he'll pooch it, squib kick, or boom it deep. Every time they kicked off to Liberty, it was a different look. 

Salado reminded me of the 2015 Hardin Jefferson team. They run the same offense and play at about the same level of competition. Also, this team likes to taunt. They got caught only once. Don't let them bait your players into retaliating.

Fairfield was the same way with the taunting. Had one of their players ejected. Glad to see a slot t team with a QB that never keeps it. That plays to our strengths defensively . One thing Bellville did very well Saturday was our passing game. QB Marcus Ward is hitting his stride right now and is playing great besides that one INT last week that cost Bellville 7.

I saw Bellville against Orangefield. It's good to see your team add some diversity to the offense. I would take full advantage of your QB keeps and some passing. That will sting Salado.
