Hasik’s pass in traffic was tipped in the endzone to a diving Jared Carroll who made the catch for a first and goal from the one. Hasik’s one yard sneak and the subsequent Carlos Martinez PAT gave Liberal a 14-0 lead with 5:13 remaining before half. LHS tossed an interception in the first half and Liberal’s Juan Rodriguez intercepted an AC pass toward the end of the first half. Ark City recored two LHS fumbles in a scoreless third quarter. Sylman Pando intercepted a pass. Hasik rolled right and found Erives for a 13 yard score to make it 20-0 after Liberal failed to attempt a kick. Rodriguez added his second interception for the game and 11th for the seson.

Jared Carroll rushed for 102 yards while Stevie Lira added 60 yards rushing. Hasik passed for 170 yards on 9-18 with two TD’s and one pick.
