Before fans could settle in their seats, the Dos Palos Broncos scored, and kept scoring, to ruin the Liberty Hawks’ football team’s home opener.

Dos Palos scored on all nine possessions in Friday’s game while also taking advantage of three Liberty turnovers.

Although Dos Palos scored early and often, the Hawks tried to stay with the Broncos. Dos Palos gained 439 yards of total offense, but the Hawks gained 408.
