by Chuck Licata The Taylor Ducks came to Liberty Hill last Tuesday (June 19) for a doubleheader of summer baseball. They left LH with a bag full of goose eggs. The summer squad of Panthers shut down Taylor for 11 straight innings in claiming two victories; a 5-inning, 11-0 win followed by a 6-inning, 9-0 [...]

by Chuck Licata Marcie Goza of Liberty Hill didn’t have to deal with triple digits. Last week. Goza, who headed up the 2012 Panthers Tennis Camp, is the mother of Chesney Goza, the LHHS senior-to-be who made it to the Class 3A state torunament this past spring as a junior.

Panthers score six runs in bottom 7th to win tourney title by Chuck Licata and Quinton Prior The young Liberty Hill summer baseball team played like a young team June 9-10 in its own tournament.

Final Score by Chuck Licata Because of the incredible success of the LHHS sports teams, we haven’t had a chance to do the “hard-hitting” column of nuts-and-bolts information from around Liberty Hill.
