Bishop Carroll and Liberal have a history of playing big-stakes games, ranging from the old district system to the Kansas Class 5A playoffs.

Rarely would the match-up be a first round game, but with Carroll having one of the most challenging seasons in recent memory and the Redskins on the rise, the old rivalry was renewed at Redskin Field Friday.

While Liberal dominated the rivalry through the 1980s and 1990s, Liberal has lost the last eight meetings to the private school before Friday’s 17-6 victory.

Wichita Northwest came to Liberal on a five-game winning streak, but the Grizzlies saw their season end after two first-half goals and a shutout second half by Liberal led to a 2-0 Redskin win and a Class 6A Regional championship.

The Redskins struggled to get quality shots on goal early, and the Grizzly goalkeeper denied several shots to keep his team competitive. But midway through the first half a long shot to the box from Josh Garcia came in high in a horde of players from both teams, and Suain Moncayo jumped up to meet the ball and head it toward the goal. The Northwest goalkeeper reached high to try and reach the ball, but it sailed beyond his reach and into the net for a 1-0 lead.
