In a matter of seconds, two mistakes turned into points and the boost Liberal needed to pull away from Diamond Friday in Spring River Valley Conference football action.
Holding a 14-0 lead late in the first half, the Bulldogs (2-1 overall, 2-1 in SRVC) scored two touchdowns right before half to make it 28-0.
Liberal won 41-0.
The Bulldogs’ first two touchdowns were via the air, a 67-yard pass from Colten Selvey to Zac Short and a 45-pass from Selvey to Jordan Meadows. After a quarter it was 7-0 and then Meadow’s TD made it 14-0 early in the second quarter.
In the final minutes of the first half, Liberals’ Zac Lovell picked off a pass and ran it back 20-yards for a touchdown. Selvey’s point after attempt made it 21-0.
Diamond (0-3, 0-2) got the ball back, but was forced to punt. Liberal got the ball back and drove down to score, making it 28-0 at half.
“A couple little mistakes and it goes from 14-0 to 28-0,” Diamond coach Aaron Davied said. “They like to run so we took that away from them. They had only 26 or 28 yards in the first half. We forced them to pass, but we didn’t do what we needed to do. We got them out of their comfort zone and we didn’t capitalize.”
Liberal scored a pair of touchdowns in the second half. Lovell ran for an 80-yard touchdown and Wade Sprankle dove in for a 1-yard score in the fourth quarter.
The Wildcats’ had a chance to score late, but running back Jarren Reinhart was knocked out of bounds at the 1-yard line as time expired.
