Wrestling Notebook: Freedom Posts 6-2 Mark at Highly-Competitive Loudoun Valley Duals

(Jan. 27, 2010) - The Freedom High School wrestling team had another strong outing last weekend at the Loudoun Valley Duals. The Eagles improved their overall record to 24-3 with a 6-2 finish over the two day tournament.

This tournament was chalked full of quality AAA programs and the Eagles held their own over the course of the two day event losing only to AAA powerhouse Westfield, and Maryland elite Urbana, who are both ranked as top 10 teams in the Metropolitan Area by the Washington Post.

Though Freedom started out the tournament by dropping consecutive matches -- to first Westfield (49-13) , and then getting edged out by Urbana (37-34) -- the Eagles rebounded by defeating a tough North Stafford team. The North Stafford Match began what was a six match run for the Eagles, culminating in a 57-12 Victory over Heritage.
