1st Quarter: Eagles win the coin toss and opt to take the Football first. Eagles Take an early 23-0 lead after three big offensive plays. The first by Jasper Melby in the first 15 seconds of the game making it, 8-0. The next two by Jaren Rutledge and Parker Tune. Houston is able to find some vulnerable positions on defense however as DJ Riley, the Senior Quarterback for the Tigers. And this allows Houston to score late, and make it a 23-6 Ballgame at the end of one.
2nd Quarter: Eagles begin to face more defensive pressure as they make a good amount of interceptions, but Houston brings the game to within ten points as DJ Riley scores two more for the Tigers.The Eagles make a lot of the same mistakes we’ve seen them make during the entire season during in this one quarter of play. Luckily, Jaren Rutledge scores ten more at the end of the quarter for Liberty to lead 35-21 at the half.
3rd Quarter: Neither team scores going into the second half. But Houston continues to fight the Eagles on offense as they do keep the Football for at least the first five minutes of the second half. The score remains 35-21 at the end of three.
4th Quarter: Eagles look for one more interception and a touchdown to hold off The Tigers. Houston by this point has had no positive yardage in the second half compared to their run during the back end of the first half. Senior, Sawyer Morris scores the last few points for the Eagles as they get the victory in their last regular season game, 50-21.
