Week 3 of Lubbock-area high school football kicked off with an absolute statement, as Estacado flattened Snyder with a staggering 61-0 shutout. That’s not just a win, that’s a *domination* in Class 4A that has to make every other team in the region sit up and take notice. What a way to start the week!
Thursday Night Was a Blowout Bonanza
Thursday, September 10, turned into a rough night for quite a few teams across the area. Beyond Estacado’s jaw-dropping performance, we saw more one-sided affairs in Class 1A. Hart absolutely ran over Lefors, piling up 53 points to their meager 6. Motley County also brought the hammer down on Springlake-Earth, finishing 56-6. These aren’t just victories; these are teams making serious statements early in the non-district season, showing everyone they mean business. Jayton did secure a solid, high-scoring win against Paducah, 64-42, in a game that actually saw some back-and-forth action. But those other three? Pure fireworks for the winners and a long ride home for the losers.
Lubbock-Cooper Liberty Showed Out at Home
Then we hit Friday, September 11, at Patriot Stadium in Woodrow, where Lubbock-Cooper Liberty hosted Midland Greenwood. This game delivered some serious highlights and big plays! We saw Lubbock-Cooper Liberty’s JJ Thompson not just trying to stretch for a touchdown, but later leaping clean over the pylon to get into the endzone. That’s a phenomenal effort, making every single yard count. Talon Wilcox was also a total force, rushing for a touchdown himself and running the ball hard all night for Liberty. He even got to celebrate a score with Brecken Wilcox, pure energy out on that field! Pierce Fioroni got in on the action too, racing for a touchdown after a big catch. On the offensive side, Cy Leach was definitely slinging it, seen preparing to throw and launching passes for the Liberty offense. Jamison Gonzalez was eating up yards, running with the ball, and Koleman Hendrix showed some sweet moves after a catch. You could feel the intensity; even Midland Greenwood head coach Bryan Hill was seen talking to an official during the game, managing the sidelines. And talk about momentum swings: even the Liberty coaches, led by Joe Sexton, were hyped, reacting big-time to a successful onside kick! This team clearly brought their A-game to Patriot Stadium.
What’s Next for Lubbock Area Football
As Week 3 wraps up, we’ve seen some incredible individual performances and some seriously lopsided scores that demand attention. For teams like Estacado, Hart, and Motley County, this early season form is exactly what you want to see. For Lubbock-Cooper Liberty, seeing players like Thompson, Wilcox, and Fioroni making game-changing plays is a huge positive. It’s still early in the season, and these non-district games are all about building momentum and testing yourselves. We’re looking forward to seeing how these squads build on these Week 3 results as the season continues to unfold!
