Liberty beat Lindbergh 20-17 in triple overtime Friday night in a 3A state football tournament quarterfinal game.

The teams tied at 14-14 at the end of regulation. Trey Wheeler connected with Jake Bainton on a fade route to the right side of the end zone from seven yards out to end the game.

Lindbergh had made a 22-yard field goal to take the lead in the third overtime.

The Patriots will advance to face either Mount Spokane or Lakes in the state seminal next weekend.
