Freedom plays like Bulldogs On Defense But Fall ON Offense

The Freedom Bulldogs Played great defense but they just could not get the ball to go through the net enough and fell short of the WPIAL title. They kept North Catholic on their heels most of the game always keeping it within reach. Freedom will get a home game in the state playoffs so the lady Bulldogs can build on that great performance and go after the state.
