Keenan Cooper had another great game (as he tends to do), rushing for 208 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.6 yards per carry. Those 208 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Freeland was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 285 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 214 rushing yards in four consecutive contests.

Freeland didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Wilson Huckeby. Freeland received some extra help from Tristan Comer, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Frankenmuth). They blew past Bridgeport, posting a 77-6 win. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.

Freeland's record now sits at 6-1. As for Frankenmuth, their record is now an identical 6-1.

Freeland and Frankenmuth were almost perfectly matched up when the teams last played back in October of 2024, but Freeland suffered an agonizing 21-20 defeat. Can the Falcons avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
