In a thrilling matchup, the Warrington Warriors took a commanding lead over the Liberty Eagles with a score of 20-13 as the third quarter unfolded. The game, marked by strategic adjustments and defensive prowess, saw Warrington capitalize on early momentum, scoring two touchdowns in the first half—one from a 65-yard pass to Mason Thompson and another from a rushing touchdown by Austin Haas.

As the second half commenced, Warrington's defense effectively stifled Liberty's offense, which struggled to regain its rhythm after a promising start.

Despite some flashes of potential, including a short gain from Caleb Orcutt, Liberty was unable to convert and was forced to punt.

Warrington's offense, led by quarterback Brandon Johnson, responded with a strong drive, showcasing a mix of passing and running plays. Johnson's ability to evade pressure and make plays with his legs was pivotal, as he executed a series of successful runs, including a key 1st down at the Eagles' 40-yard line. The Warriors' offensive line provided solid protection, allowing Johnson to find his rhythm.

The highlight of the quarter came when Johnson, after a bobbled snap, managed to sneak into the end zone for a touchdown, extending Warrington's lead. However, the extra point attempt was unsuccessful, leaving the score at 20-13.

As the game progressed, both teams faced challenges, with Liberty looking to adjust their strategy to counter Warrington's defensive schemes.
