2016-17 Liberty Flag Football Capsule Preview

LIBERTY

Head coach: Richard Ebarb, first season

2015-16 record: 5-14 (3-5 Northeast, third)

Returning letter winners (starters): Three (three)

Top players: WR/DB Rianna Baliza (Sr.), RB/WR/DB Elizabeth Branigan (Sr.), QB/DB Adalina Wright (Jr.)

Outlook: Ebarb takes over a team that returns only three starters, but has reason for optimism.

“There are some promising juniors and sophomores to help our team have a successful season,” Ebarb said. “Our first goal, as with most teams, is to win our league, win the region and win the state tournament.”
