    Freedom Woodbridge vs DeMatha, Friday, September 8th.

    Deep, deep respect for a degree from Duke. I’m a MD grad (half century ago (!), but a degree from Duke, Stanford, Harvard, Yale and a few others can ensure a successful career.

    Their qb had an extraordinary year but I do not know their individual talent. Can somebody help with info about them?

    Freedom Woodbridge vs DeMatha, Friday, September 8th.

    DeMatha beat Phoebus 24-20 in 2013 in their opening game. I said SJB won in ‘21. I am only talking about Freedom vs DeMatha in a regular season game next year. I am not talking about Freedom playing anyone else. I am NOT talking about Freedom in 2021. And yes, I believe ‘96 Hampton would...

    Freedom Woodbridge vs DeMatha, Friday, September 8th.

    St. John Bosco (of CA) beat Oscar Smith 49-0 in 2021. Oscar Smith lost to Western Branch 28-14 in the VA playoffs this year. Then Freedom slaughtered Western Branch 69-14 in the state semifinals. DeMatha vs Freedom is special.

    No. That was a great OOS team playing a decent VA school. (See my note below) This is about a possibly legendary team playing the top program in the DC metro area for the last 40 years. MD vs VA, public vs private, best vs best. Freedom is far superior to Oscar Smith-only ‘96 Hampton can be...

    Can you imagine the parking lot before the game? It really would have the feeling of an NFL game . Incredible tailgating opportunity. Stadium probably holds 7 or 8,000 but temporary stands could also be erected to push capacity to 10,000. Of course, there is also Fed Ex field a hundred yards...

    I am not sure if the site has been confirmed but the field next to Fed Ex would be perfect.

    ESPN you need to look at what may be the biggest public vs private matchup of my lifetime. I am 76 and go back to 40,000+ in the stands at RFK stadium for city championships. This is now the Mid Atlantic but has national appeal. Freedom is in league with ‘96 Hampton and Ronald Curry (they...

    Freedom - Woodbridge

    Confirmed! Biggest game in the DC area in years. And it’s on a Friday night.

    Freedom - Woodbridge

    Again, I note the real pillaging may come from soccer going after the same athletes in the same school. And fans in the stands or on the sidelines. Many schools have fewer, perhaps far fewer players come out for a sport like football and many more for soccer. Freedom vs DeMatha is a chance to...

    Freedom - Woodbridge

    But it’s not an exhibition game. Freedom is in a DC suburb. So is DeMatha. At a time when soccer games have crowds as large as hs football it is important that the 12 year old know which sport he and his parents wants want him to pursue. Several hundred people in the stands (I live 50 yards...

    Freedom - Woodbridge

    Ask him how many touchdowns first team Freedom scored on DeMatha? And how many DeMatha scored on Freedom? I mention again: Mike Smith, head coach of ‘96 and ‘97 Hampton (Virginia’s best ever) wanted to play DeMatha very badly but the game could not be arranged. Mike Smith believed he would...

    Freedom - Woodbridge

    I would also ask him why he is not willing to play DeMatha in the regular ‘23 season since he scrimmaged them in August this year? DeMatha had one of their best defenses ever this past season…..
