Can you say rematch???

Freeland stomped Essexville Garber in Round 2 of the districts and will head to Round three regional action in a re-match vs Ovid Elsie. Freeland decisively won that game 55 - 35 on 10/10.

Re-match should happen in Freeland, at 7 pm on 11/14. Whatcha gonna do hunters???

Tailgate at 5:00 in the HS parking lot.

Freeland Wins!!

Freeland rolled over Swan Valley, 49 to 22. The first quarter was tense, as SV went up 14 - 0. Nail biter until the second, when Freeland began their march of 49 unanswered points.

Freeland will play Essexville Garber next Friday, November 7th. Location and time TBA.

Are you following the brackets? Go here.

Stay tuned.

Welcome!

Welcome to Freeland 411. It's been a few weeks since I had to relocate from an expensive server that did nothing, so sorry for the delay. We'll use this format until I can find something better (and the time) to host a whole website again.

I'll try to keep up to date with events in Freeland - including school functions, community news, sports, etc., but I need your help! Send me tips and pictures and I will upload them ASAP! There is a lot that goes on in our small town that deserves more recognition than it gets. This is a way to help.

Send me stories, events and whatever else is relevant to Freeland!

Thanks,

Tina Musial
