“Thru the Eyes of Sly Washington” Charleroi vs. Freedom Round 1 of the WPIAL Play-offs, 11/1/19

(Freedom, Pa.) It was a perfect brisk fall evening for round one of the WPIAL Play-offs. Last season the Freedom Bulldogs were the surprise team of the season and this year the favorites to advance to the finals before the season started. The Bulldogs finsihed tied in second place in the tough MAC conference with New Brighton but by beating the Lions a few weeks ago the Bulldogs got the home game over the LIons.

The Bulldogs were matched up against a tough Charleroi Cougars team and the stage was set for one of the best games of of round one of the Class 2A WPIAL Play-offs. Beaver County Radios Tom Hays and JIm Fredricks had the call on 1460 WMBA and the Trib-Live High School Sports Network. The Freedom Bulldogs season will continue as they defeated the Charleroi Cougars 21-14. Both teams came right out of the gate running the football as both offences traded touchdowns in the first quarter. Later in the second quarter the Cougars Legend Davis scored on a 21 yard reception giving the Cougars a 14-7 lead, only to have the lead shrink moments later. As the Cougars kicked off the to the Bulldogs, the Bulldogs took the kickoff over 80 yards to the house tying the game at 14 heading into the half. Freedom’s offensive and defensive lines came out the second half on fire, dominating the point of attack. The only touchdown of the second half came from the Bulldogs, after that the Bulldogs defense kept the pressure coming. The Bulldogs defense made a critical stop late in the fourth quarter securing the win for the Bulldogs. Freedom remains undefeated at home and play Washington next week who defeated Shadyside Friday night 21-7.
