Ezekiel Academy and Freedom C are an even 5-5 against one another since October of 2016, but not for long. The Ezekiel Academy Knights will head out on the road to take on the Freedom C Cowboys at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
