Inter-squad scrimmage goes well for Liberty

By Jerry Michalsky, Sports Editor

With the season less than a week and a half away, the Liberty Panthers had an inter squad scrimmage on Saturday night at War Memorial stadium that was open to the public.

Head coach Shane Deel was pleased with the scrimmage and saw some things he liked. “We ran the ball very well and the offensive line did a good job of blocking,†said Deel.

“We have a long way to go but we are getting there,†added Deel. The running backs that stood out were Byron Webb, Darrin Edwards, De’Jonge Robinson, and James Freeman.

During the scrimmage the number one offense faced the number two defense while the number two offense faced up against the number defense. “We did not want to take a chance of injuries so that is why we split it up like that,†said Deel.

Jeremy Dickey and Colton Anderson took their turns with the number one offense at quarterback. “Jeremy threw the ball well and Colton scored a touchdown,†added Deel.

“We are a lot further along with the passing game this year compared to where we were last year.â€

The defense struggled a little with some missed tackles. “When your flying to the football there are going to be some missed tackles,†said Deel.

“All in all it was good for the players to get to perform a little in front of some of the fans at the stadium.â€

The Panthers will finally get to face someone in an opposite colored jersey on Thursday when they travel to Beaumont and take on Kelly.
