Be Tough: Liberty Hill's Kent Walker talks about his brother, Jeff Walker, at Texas Football Hall of Fame

What the Liberty Hill Panthers accomplished this season was nothing short of remarkable. Under the most adverse and trying of conditions, the Purple-and-Gold continued to excel on the gridiron, advancing all the way to the Class 5A state semifinals – in their first season in the higher classification.

Certainly all this would be a grand accomplishment for any football team, but the fact the Panthers were able to do so after losing their beloved head coach, Jeff Walker, makes it all the more stunning.
