Freedom's football team getting ready to face their opponent.

Another Freedom football season is winding down. For the senior boys, the last night on their home field was Friday, October, 15 for the senior night football game. For many of the boys, this ends their football career; for others, they hope to go on and play college football. This season has been a series of tough losses for our Freedom Bulldogs, but, we’re keeping that Freedom spirit high for a win during the last football game against New Brighton. New Brighton’s overall record is 1-5, and their section record is 0-5, which brings hope for our team. This season the team has worked extremely hard to improve their game. They started off practicing at the end of the school year with lifting, then summer came around and the boys had their annual two week football camp. Once school started the boys practiced every day after school- this is dedication. Now, who can match that Freedom football player dedication? A Freedom football fan! Win or lose, you can always count on the stands being full, the crowds cheering and the band playing. There is always a sea of red and white. A new football player has recently appeared on the field; Mark Harding came into the season five months late, but still wanted to join the team. “The worst thing about my season here is doing a drill or running a play I didn’t know how to do,” he said. Harding came from Hopewell and had played football there as well. When he moved to Freedom he noticed the difference in the team and the coaching staff. In Hopewell, Harding said he was more comfortable because he knew all the plays and knew which ones would get the team a touchdown. “They were tricky,” Harding said. Overall Harding also stated it’s a hard thing to watch his team lose, but he is happy about how hard the teams works. After another entertaining season of Freedom football comes to an end, we are excited to see what is in store for next season. ]]> Thu, 28 Oct 2010 19:10:09 GMT
