TEXARKANA, TX (KTAL/KMSS) — Liberty-Eylau has its first district matchup this week, on the road against Tatum.

The Leopards are coming off a bye week, but head coach Brad Willard said he still expected his young team to come out and be physical each day, despite it being a week of "rest".

The team met the challenge Willard set out for them.

"Asking kids on a by week to come ready to work, just on a Friday in general, when you don't have a game, it can be tough, but our kids answered, it was a lot of fun," Willard said. "That's what we love about, especially the youth that we have on the team is that they're all just a bunch of football players. They're not just good athletes playing the sport, they love the sport. They understand the sport, and want to keep getting better."
