After a season opening loss, state-ranked Liberty Hill opens their home schedule with another tough match-up, this time against the Rouse Raiders.

No shame in Liberty Hill's season opening loss this past Friday, as the 5A Panthers took their Slot-T attack on the road against a Class 6A traditional powerhouse: 10th-ranked Cibolo Steele. Liberty Hill hung with the Knights for a bit before losing 49-26.

While Liberty Hill was taking their lumps against one of the state's best, Rouse took care of business as expected in their opener, blowing out Connally 57-10.

This is the third straight season these two have met, with Liberty Hill winning in 2022, and Rouse winning at Liberty Hill last season.
