It was a fierce battle in New Home as the Leopards welcomed the Lubbock Cooper Liberty Patriots to varsity football. In a tale of two halves, the Leopards’ offense stole the show in the first hIalf with two long Caleb Cook-to-Colby Cook touchdown passes (65 yards, 75 yards), with a Ryder Starkey touchdown run sandwiched between, giving the Leopards a 21-7 lead.
