Niles vs Liberty <\/p>\n
It is often suggested that high school football teams show their biggest improvements between Weeks 1 and 2. <\/p>\n
Liberty coach Kevin Cylar admits that perhaps it was the Leopards coaching staff which needed to step up Friday in a non-conference showdown with Niles. <\/p>\n
Last week our kids, they came to play and they put everything out there, Cylar said. We (coaches) needed to step up our game. <\/p>\n
Last week, it was just stupidity on our part. As coaches, we learned our lesson. <\/p>\n
Cylar was referring to the lack of carries freshman Lynn Bowden received in the Leopards Week 1 loss to Salem. On Friday, Bowden got 23 touches, gained 132 yards, caught a 26-yard pass for a touchdown and had a 75-yard kickoff return. <\/p>\n
Bowdens heroics, combined with an outstanding all-around effort by Asim Pleas resulted in a Liberty 42-33 home win over the Red Dragons (1-1). <\/p>\n
