After an up-and-down regular season, Liberty entered the Open State Playoffs as the No. 31 seed and was eliminated by Notre Dame Prep in Round One.
The Lions (17-12) then upset both Hamilton and Cesar Chavez to begin the 6A Playoffs.
Led by elite two-way senior Ring Nyeri, the team is capable of competing with any team in the conference.
The team made an Open State quarterfinals run last year before being knocked out by the eventual champion Perry Pumas
