Confirmed. Biggest public/private game in decades in the mid Atlantic.
Bosco played at Oscar Smith just last season. At the time that was probably a bigger game than this one. Bosco was ranked top 3 in the nation and Smith was top 50 at the time. Dematha finished 56th and Freedom 100th this season. Still a big game though, especially for Freedom.Confirmed. Biggest public/private game in decades in the mid Atlantic.
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.Bosco played at Oscar Smith just last season. At the time that was probably a bigger game than this one.

You do know that that Bosco game was last year? Smith also destroyed Battlefield 49-10, the team Freedom lost 24-7 too. Smith was down this year you can’t play that year by year card to try to grade this freedom team. Mater Dei & Bosco are on a different level an I know Freedom is good but your implying that Freedom can beat either team that’s definitely not happening. Dematha if I’m correct struggled with a down Phoebus a few years ago I wouldn’t expect it to be so special. I’d dare even say it’ll be overhyped that’s just my opinion thoSt. 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.

DeMatha vs Freedom is special.
The freedom QB has ZERO OFFERES! He’s only 5’10. His numbers were against a VERY WEAK SCHEDULE! Like it or not,Freedom’s national ranking was THIRD BEST in VA! They have NO highly recruited players. A bunch of Low D1 & D2 players. I believe Overton just got a Duke offer,but that’s about it. They will be drastically outmanned vs a D1 loaded Dematha.Their qb had an extraordinary year but I do not know their individual talent. Can somebody help with info about them?
Tristan Evans has ZERO OFFERS. Overton just got his first power 5 from Duke.IN addition to their outstanding QB - Tristan Evans - RB Jeff Overton is the other name I hear very often:
Freedom’s Jeffrey Overton Jr. looks to add third state title to family legacy
Jeffrey Overton Jr. isn’t the best high school football player from his family. Not yet anyway.www.insidenova.com
They had a DL sign with Liberty this year and a DB sign with Ohio. But it seems their RB Jeff Overton Jr. is their biggest prospect right now. He's only a sophomore but has offers from Maryland, JMU, Duke, and VT so far. WR JuJu Preston has on offer from Maryland.Not that it specifically matters but who all on the freedom roster are being recruited and highly ranked. The numbers they put up were astronomical but are there any young prospects to keep an eye out for?
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.They had a DL sign with Liberty this year and a DB sign with Ohio.

Overton will have plenty of offers in the next couple years. QB is an excellent high school player but probably too short to have major recruiting interest.Tristan Evans has ZERO OFFERS. Overton just got his first power 5 from Duke.
If DeMatha played Dinwiddie in 2013 they would have been rolled by about 30-40 points and would have been fortunate to get a field goal. When you match opponents between Phoebus, Dinwiddie and Freedom they are even on the final point spread. With Freedom not having a legacy it is difficult to say where they will fall. Many of the other schools have multiple championships and others have even more finals appearances. This Freedom team was blasting weak opponents. Western Branch/Oscar Smith are even with both teams falling to Freedom and Phoebus by 55/56 points respectively. I do not see the benefit for Freedom in playing DeMatha. It certainly did absolutely nothing for Phoebus in 2013. They lost their best player to Dematha’s recruiting arm.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 have beaten Freedom.
Freedom may be better next year than this. Stone Bridge was Freedom’s closest game this year and they still won by 18 points.
I know nothing about Freedom before the ‘22 season.
I have closely followed DeMatha since 1962.
