2020 REVIEW
It’s a new era for Liberal football. Head coach Garrett Zoucha comes from Nebraska to take over the Bulldogs program. Liberal went 6-3 in 2020, stringing together a five-game winning streak in the middle of the season. “The biggest challenge was injuries,” Zoucha says. “Kids were not able to get into normal workouts due to COVID.”
