  Final Score by Chuck Licata Okay, so I’m a week late in writing the expected “Thanksgiving” column.

by Chuck Licata Barry Boren’s Liberty Hill Panthers were getting killed on the boards through two-and-a-half quarters Tuesday (Nov. 22) against Boerne at The Panthers Den. But Stephen Graves, Blake Danielak and Shane LaCaille (among others) stepped up and the Panthers ran off a 9-2 scoring run midway through the third period. The Panthers then [...]

By Chuck Licata It’s ironic. Three high school football teams – Liberty Hill and two Class 2A teams, Eustace and Rogers – lost on the same weekend (last weekend) in the UIL high school playoffs. Liberty Hill suffered a tough loss to Devine (21-20) while Rogers fell to Arp (52-20) and Eustace saw its season [...]
