Time to highlight our Coach of the Week! Coach Jake Sexton is no stranger to our program. Coach Sexton has been coaching with the rec for over a decade. The time and effort he has put in to coaching our Little Rec Devils does not go unnoticed which is why we're sure this comes as no surprise to many. Here is how he has impacted just one of our tackle football families this season.
"Coach Sexton is an outstanding leader and role model within the Liberty Recreation program. What makes his dedication especially remarkable is that he has no children participating in the program—yet he devotes countless hours of his time and energy to coaching multiple sports, including basketball, flag football, and tackle football for athletes of all ages.
Coach Sexton is the type of coach every program hopes for. He is passionate about winning, but never at the expense of teaching the proper fundamentals of the game. His focus is always on player development, ensuring that each athlete grows in skill, discipline, and sportsmanship. He embodies a true player-first approach, consistently prioritizing the needs and growth of his athletes above all else. Through his volunteerism, positive leadership, and unwavering commitment to youth sports, Coach Sexton has made a lasting impact on the Liberty Recreation community. His efforts build not only better players, but also stronger young men and women who carry these lessons both on and off the field."
Thank you Coach Sexton for your positive impact on our community. We appreciate you and your dedication to making our athletes great in sports and in life!

As we approach our Homecoming Saturday, we want to highlight some of our incredible sponsors and vendors.
As the temps warm up this weekend, stop by Sweet Carolina Lemonade for a refreshing drink or even just to say, "Thank you!" for being a part of our community and giving back to the recreation department.
Sweet Carolina Lemonade: "My name is Jennifer Michaelangelo and I am the owner of Sweet Carolina Lemonade. My business partner, Jackie Rule and I, started our fresh squeezed lemonade business in 2023 because we wanted to bring something simple, refreshing, and homemade to our community. We are still learning and trying new things as we grow! Our favorite part of owning the business is connecting with our customers—hearing their stories and seeing their reactions. There's nothing better than sharing something we love and watching it brighten someone’s day. We also love hearing feedback."
Thank you SCL! We'll squeeze... I mean see... you soon!
