The Liberty Patriots rallied for 14 points in the fourth quarter on Friday to come from behind to beat Interlake and stay undefeated on the year.
It was an inauspicious start, however, when Interlake picked off a pass and returned it for a touchdown to give them a 7-0 lead. Interlake then followed up with a second touchdown to go up 14-0, but Liberty did not back down, scoring a touchdown of their own to close the gap to 14-7.
The teams then traded field goals through the end of the first and second quarters, first Interlake, then Liberty and then Interlake again, giving the Saints a 20-10 lead at halftime.
Liberty clawed their way back into the game with a rushing touchdown to make it 20-17, only to see Interlake answer with a rushing TD of their own to go back up 27-17, but before the frame was over, Liberty ran it in again to pull to 27-24 as the teams entered the final frame.
And the fourth quarter belonged to Liberty, who scored two touchdowns to secure the come-from-behind victory and stay unbeaten.
Liberty is now 3-0 on the season and 1-0 in the Kingco Conference. They take on Lake Washington on Friday at home.
