In Freedom High School’s football home opener, the Eagles hosted Heritage High School’s Pride on Thursday, Sept. 8. After a close first half, the Eagles took the 42-21 win. It was the first win of the season for the Freedom, after the season opener at Loudoun Valley ended with a 0-28 loss.
The Eagles started the game against the Pride a little unsteady, turning the ball over and allowing a Heritage touchdown at the beginning of the game. At half-time, the game was tied 14-14.
During the third quarter, Freedom scored 14 more points to Heritage’s zero. Freedom scored again in the fourth quarter with a touchdown and field goal, ending the game with the Eagles first win over the Pride in the last four meetings.
On Friday, Sept. 9, Freedom moved their record to 2-1 with a 28-7 win over Colgan.
Freedom will celebrate homecoming on Friday, Sept. 16, when the Eagles face the Gainesville Cardinals.
