Bryan: The Salado Eagles football team advances to the sweet 16 of the 4A Division 2 State Playoffs with a 63-14 rout of the Liberty Panthers on Nov. 25.
The Salado–Liberty football game played at Merrill Green Stadium in Bryan raised eyebrows from the start as Liberty’s J.J. Slack took a reverse pitch from quarterback Bailey Brown and went right up the heart of the Eagles defense untouched for a 65 yard touchdown. Panthers kicker Jesus Landaverde made the PAT. Liberty took a 7-0 lead 15 seconds into the game.

Salado Eagles fall to Bellville Brahmas 34-14
The final score of 34-14 didn’t truly capture the drama of the Salado Eagles’ final game of the season in their loss to the Bellville Brahmas. The Brahmas will face the top team in state this week playing West Orange Stark.
Had a couple of fourth downs turned out differently, the score would have been much closer.
