My Easley Green Wave had the night off tonight. So the family and I made a little trip over to Pickens, SC to watch the (Class 2A) Liberty Red Devils take on the (Class 3A) Pickens Blue Flame. We immediately went into the stands and sat beside the Liberty Band. I must say the Band was rocking tonight, and the drum line was hot!
By the time we made the arduous journey from the parking area to the visitor entrance at Blue Flame field the Liberty Red Devils were already out to a 14-0 lead! While the game went out and back a little Liberty never trailed. I know the folks from Pickens had to be shocked because (according to several Liberty fans) Liberty had not beaten Pickens since 1968. For the folks from Pickens, that would be 43 years! :-)

Liberty scored their second win of the season with this 28-17 victory over Pickens. While I did not actually research this, I would imagine that Liberty has not started a season 2-0 since the graduation of Tron Jackson. My hat is off to Liberty High School tonight! Good job Liberty Football team & Liberty Band!
