Freedom Golf Sets School Mark but Falcons Cool Off Eagles

The Freedom Eagles have been burning up the links this month and are giving Dulles District leader Loudoun County a run for their money.

The Eagles just missed by a stroke catching LC in the second district mini tournament, giving the Raiders a clear advantage towards a regular-season district title. Freedom needs to win the dual meet season and hope that LC falters into a finish of third or lower.

So far, Freedom has posted a school record score of 153 -- led by a trio of 38's! -- in a 18-stroke win over Broad Run last week at South Riding Golf Club. Freedom's title hopes, however, suffered a blow Monday when rival Briar Woods, with Jon Howard shooting a 35, got the best of them in dual match.

The Eagles would have had to duplicate that school record 153 to catch the Falcons so lets not count out Briar Woods come this postseason. It should be a great Dulles District tournament in September.
