Is this the week the Seahawks earn a Liberty District victory?
Is this the week South Lakes High School's football team breaks its Liberty District losing skid? The odds say yes.

Langley running back Philip Mun had 30 carries for a career-high 303 rushing yards as the Saxons defeated South Lakes 35-14 at Langley on Friday.

Zac Parker got South Lakes on the board when quarterback Rashaan Jones hit him with a 56-yard pass in the second quarter.

After heartbreaking Homecoming loss, Seahawks still searching for Liberty District win.
South Lakes High School travels to Langley Friday night for another shot at breaking into the conference win column in 2012. South Lakes (2-5 overall, 0-4 Liberty District) came close to defeating Madison at home last Friday. The Seahawks had their best offensive outing of the season and were leading the Warhawks in the final minutes.
