Freedom and Heritage are an even 5-5 against one another since October of 2015, but not for long. The Falcons will challenge the Patriots at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have had a bumpy ride up to this point with three consecutive losses for Freedom and seven for Heritage dating back to last season.
Freedom is headed into the matchup out to prove that what happened against Antioch last Friday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. The Falcons took a blow against the Panthers, falling 60-6. The Falcons were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 32-6.
Freedom's defeat came about despite a quality game from Tah'Kai Edwards, who rushed for 85 yards and one score on only nine carries.
Meanwhile, Heritage was beaten by Pittsburg 55-7 on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Patriots can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 380th, while the Pirates are ranked 25th).
Even if they lost, Heritage's defensive line still kept up the pressure with three sacks. Aiden Harrington refused to say out of the backfield, picking up 1.5 sacks all by himself.
Heritage's loss dropped their record down to 0-6. As for Freedom, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-5.
Freedom ended up a good deal behind Heritage in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, losing 21-7. Thankfully for the Falcons, Mekhi Adanandus (who rushed for 109 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only 15 carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
