If you like exciting games that had two girls basketball teams playing a very competitive 2A basketball playoff game to advance in the state playoffs you would have loved this one. The Freedom Bulldogs trying to make it back to Hershey for the second straight year all most got one step closer but their  season ended with a 20 win 5 loss record, they can be very proud  of. Bishop Mcort jumped out to a 8 nothing lead , it seemed to be the story of the night with Freedom trailing most of  the  game , after one the score was the Crushers 15 the Bulldogs 12. Freedom was having some trouble solving the full court press and Bishop hit 3 three pointers in the first, and may have been just a little bit faster getting some open shots. Freedoms Olivia Henderson hit back to back three pointers, then Julz Mohrbacher took the ball the  down  the court to tie it at 21 then Morgan Keller hit a duce for the first Freedom lead 23-21. At half time it was the Crushers in the lead 31-Bulldogs 25. At the start of the 3rd quarter  Julz Mohrbacher hit a left handed Bob McAdoo half hook shot with 4 players around here to get the Freedom crowd back to life with a roar of thee crowd it carried over to the fourth quarter where a very loud freedom crowd was cheering their team on, the Bulldogs out scored the Crushers 19 to 8, and with 4.2 seconds on the clock Olivia Henderson a very gifted 3 point shooter hit a long 3 point shot to tie the game up at 52 to 52. Make no mistake every single one of the Freedom players that went in to the game all played well and contributed to their great performance, although it did not go their way, the Bulldogs  had a great season and another exciting game.
