Unexpectedly, the Lions have excelled on the road this season and have somewhat struggled at home. Liberty is undefeated in away games and 5-4 in games at home.
They are coming off a season of winning just 11 total games and missing the 6A playoffs. The team is now on pace to overcome that and get back into the conference playoffs.
The Lions will next travel to face Pinnacle on Thursday, April 4 at 3:45 p.m. MST. Liberty will look to complete the sweep and extend its win streak to five games.
There are less than three weeks left in the team’s regular season.
