After perusing the various media sources out there concerning Liberty Hill, a reoccurring theme I hear from Liberty Hill is ‘toughness’. They pride themselves on being tough.
The Indians are not only going against an accomplished and fundamentally skilled team, as unorthodox as they may be, they are meeting up with a mindset.
One key to countering opposing strengths, in addition to physical strengths and weaknesses, X’s and O’s, etc, is to understand the oppositions mindset.
LH is on the field with the focused attention of outworking, outhitting and out-executing their opponent. They are on that field with the perception that they will outfight you and beat you. This is not altogether different than past PNG teams who once ran a basic Power I scheme with very limited game plans. Those Indian teams knew what they were going to do, executed it with precise detail and went at you with the mindset of beating the man in front of them. They focused on being the best they could be, executing and forcing their will on opponents.
2022 PNG players would do well to expect the same with Liberty Hill, absorb it and return it with added ferocity. Not commit fouls but to make a statement early that we are here, we know what you’re doing and we’re going to stop you.
LH has some advantage of being a regional and state force for a number of years and having been in this position often in recent history. But this is 2022 and the Indians are formidable in their own right and should not feel intimidated. This game will be trench warfare when on defense. When on offense, the Indians should be able to utilize all weapon systems. This one will be a different kind of battle but the Indians have the required ability to win it. No mistakes, no cheap penalties. play disciplined defense, achieve your assignment every play and stay focused for 4 quarters.
