OUTLOOK
With its young talent, Liberty is the sleeper most in the 2B Northeast point to as the team poised to make the biggest jump this season.
It should not come as a surprise - the Lancers were in back-to-back 2B title games in 2016 and 2017 before taking a dip last season.
Do-everything wide receiver Justin King will be a difficult playmaker to replace, but expect Carr to throw it all over the lot - and for a up-and-coming defensive line to create havoc on opposing backfields.
