A Championship Season

On Saturday, My Corner of the Ozarks, was buzzing with football excitement.  The Mountain View-Birch Tree Liberty Eagles played their quarterfinal state playoff game against Lamar at home.  Downtown Mountain View was packed.  Not only was there a lot of local interest, but Lamar brought many fans. 

This was the second year in a row for the Eagles to advance to the quarterfinals and to face Larmar.  Last year Liberty lost in the final 8 seconds.  This year Lamar out-played us 33-18. 

However, the Liberty Eagles certainly had a championship season.  It was their first loss of the year.  So they finished 12-1.  It was the first 12-win season in school history.  They were conference champions.  Last year they only had 2 losses.  So for two years their record was 22-3.  Congratulations Eagles!!

We sat in the stands in the presence of four older gentlemen who played on the 1960 Mountain View Pirate championship team.  Those past champions came out to support today's champions.
