Week one in high school football on Beaver County Radio featured a close matchup between the Ambridge Bridgers and the Freedom Bulldogs at Ambridge High School.

The first half, Friday evening was a hard fought battle for both teams. Ambridge nor Freedom were able to put any points on the board before halftime. In the second half Ambridge was the first to strike, with a rushing touchdown giving the Bridgers a 7-0 lead. Later in the half Ambridge jumped out to a 14-0 advantage. The Freedom Bulldogs refusing to fold, scored a late touchdown cutting the lead to 7. Freedom would also catch a break after Ambridge turned the ball over giving the Bulldogs good field position. However, Freedom was not able to capitalize on the mistake and dropped their week one game against Ambridge by a score of 14-7. Freedom will start getting ready for their upcoming game with Beaver. While Ambridge will travel to Neshannock next Friday.
