Photos: Santa Margarita scores final 27 to beat Liberty-Bakersfield on the road

Sometime a road trip is good for the soul.
Santa Margarita fought back from a 14-7 deficit early and scored the last 27 points of the game to post a 34-14 win over host and defending state D1-A champion Liberty Friday night in Bakersfield.
Liberty took a 14-7 lead after touchdowns from Mehki Delouth on a 2-yard run and a 77-yard pass from Cole O'Brien to Davari Degraffereid.
But Trent Mosely, a sophomore, scored on consecutive 1-yard runs to go up 21-14 midway through the second quarter. Hunter Melton fired a 46-yard touchdown pass to Sean Embree just before the half and Melton capped the scoring with a 1-yard TD pass to Mosely.
Both teams are 2-1.
