It started better than it ended for the Freedom girls basketball team as they drop a tough one against a team that was pretty much their equal ,  they split each with one win a piece against Shenango in the two games they played in section this year and they both averaged 55 points a game. It was a close game from start to finish with Freedom leading after the first quarter 12-11, at the start it was Julz Mohrbacher Bringing a rebound down and scored a basket then down under the hoop Morgan Keller stole a in bound pass and scored giving the Bulldogs a four to nothing lead, Freedom then went into a two one two zone to keep the Shenango Wildcats team out of three point range which was working. Shenango went in to a double team the Julz Mohrbacher defense and sometimes that was a triple team trying to keep here of the boards. Shenango was getting into foul trouble having 5 in the first quarter, Freedom  was ahead 23-22 at the half and 29-28 at the end of the third quarter, but with about 4:20 left in the game and the score tied at 34 Mohrbacher was called for her fifth foul of the game and had to sit the bench for the remainder of the game which didn’t help their chances much and that was the end of offense for the Bulldogs as the Wildcats dug in and took the ball to the hoop, it was a great game between to evenly matched high school teams final score Shenango 44 Freedom 34.
