The Chase Trojans are taking a road trip to challenge the Freedom Patriots at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Chase is looking for their season?s first victory.
Last Thursday, Chase was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 34-28 to Draughn.
Despite the defeat, Chase got top-tier performance from Zac Frashier, who rushed for 311 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry. Frashier also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making three total tackles and defending a pass.
Meanwhile, Freedom fell victim to Gaffney and their airtight defense on Friday. They took a blow against the Indians, falling 31-0. While losing is never fun, the Patriots can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 135th in North Carolina, while the Indians are ranked fourth in South Carolina).
Chase's record now sits at 0-3. As for Freedom, their record now sits at 2-2.
Chase came out on top in a nail-biter against Freedom when the teams last played back in September of 2023, sneaking past 23-20. The rematch might be a little tougher for Chase since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
