FREEDOM 31 AMADOR VALLEY 28

[Bluedog2]

Freedom shocked Amador valley twice tonight with a 63 yard bomb on the first play of the game from Sweeney to Gio Fauolo and then with only nine seconds left Sweeney unloaded another bomb for 62 yards on a catch and pitchout to the Don receiver who pitched out the ball to Dominic Dominguez and he was off to the races and the score was 31-28.. with 23 seconds left in the game, Amador Valley's McCullough barreled over from the two yard line to over take Freedom on what looked like the winning TD and just pulled ahead of Freedom 28-24....But the 62 yard pass play mentioned above followed AV's score which was the final blow to a wild four quarter of drama...
In between the first and the fourth quarter, both teams were busy pushing each other back and forth with Rivers doing the majority of the ground work for Freedom and McCollough and Jones for Amador Valley....In the first quarter, Freedom did not have one first down, but the 63 yard pass over shadowed that.

Now Amador Valley had a chance to score a second time in the first quarter, but Jones on a rollout to the left elected to pass inside the 10 yard line, but Freedom Picked off the pass and stopped a possible scoring drive.

Sounds like a fun game. Good bounce back for Freedom.

EBAL is going to be very interesting. Foothill looks like top team, but Amador Valley was supposed to be peaking and Monte Vista beat Pittsburg tonight.

Bananas...The Monte Vista QB is an accurate passer 2 and 3 step drops...quick hitters. Got to play their receivers tight on the line of scrimmage or he will pick you apart.

I'm looking forward to the Wood - Freedom game in two weeks. I think we will get a lot of answers about both team from that game.

Woodinsider.....After to watching Wood meeting Alhambra and seeing two Freedom games, I think we have a shootout coming our way.....The key to stopping Freedom, is getting the Wood defense back on track after the bishop O'Dowd game...Giving up 45 points will happen again if the defense doesn't get sharp....

I saw the Freedom touchdown on the "street football" play. Very reminiscent of the Boise State v Oklahoma Dig and pitch but in a tighter window. Hats off to Freedom for the execution of it, the catch and pitch was bang-bang and surrounded by AV defenders. Great game, great play!

MshNasty.....According to the guys in the stands, Freedom has been working on this play for a while just in case it would be needed, and it went so smooth and so quick, that the AV defenders were not in position as the guy that took the pitch out was in high gear and roared by the guy that made the pitch out and the AV defenders were on the other side and the ball carrier had a clear path to the end zone, a real exciting finish....
