AUSTIN, Texas - Week 3 of the Central Texas high school football season brings another FOX 7 Friday Football Game of the Week!
Every Thursday, FOX 7 Austin will feature one upcoming high school football game and offer you, the viewer, the chance to vote on who you think will win.
This week's matchup is between two of the area's top Class 5A teams: the Liberty Hill Panthers and the Georgetown Eagles.
The Panthers are coming off a win in a game that can safely be dubbed "an instant classic".
Liberty Hill outlasted Hutto in the ultimate scorefest, beating the Hippos 82-80 in a game that garnered state-wide, and even some national attention.

Georgetown (1-1) comes into the match-up on a down note after the Eagles lost to 6A Vista Ridge 28-17 after falling behind 28-2 early in the second half.
