Football: Park View Comeback at Freedom Secures Playoff Spot

(Nov. 6, 2010) - Freedom High School and head coach Mick Mullins, a former assistant coach at Park View, did everything in their power Friday to spoil the Patriots playoff chances but Park View, down 19-13 at the half, rallied with 21 straight points in the second half to secure a trip to the Region II Division 3 quarterfinals.

Patriot linebacker Eric Palma's "pick six" from 33 yards out midway through the third quarter finally put Park View up and the Patriots then scored two insurance TDs, one on a Roger Smith run and the second on Ryan McCarter's second touchdown catch of the night from Alec Dombkowski. Smith finished with 161 yards on 22 carries and Dombkowski threw for 181 yards on 15 of 23 passing.

Eagles quarterback threw a TD to Patrick Donovan and rushed for a score in the first half as Freedom shot for a .500 season and the upset.
