Carlynton 4th Quarter rally stuns Freedom

 

It was a good one to start the day off, as Carlynton defeats Freedom 42-37. The game was close one, at the half the game was tied at 25 and it was anybodies game. But, despite that Freedom jumped to 8 point lead at the end of the third. But, it was not enough to keep Carlynton down as they outscored Freedom 15-2 in the fourth quarter to win the game. Freedom did not score a field goal in the fourth quarter and only made two foul shots. Despite the lost Freedom still has a chance to make the state playoffs. If Carlynton beats the winner out of Mohawk and East Allegheny, then Freedom can make state playoffs.
