Freedom at Washington

Records: Freedom is 5-5. Washington is 9-0.

Class: 2A

Winner plays: Either East Allegheny or Mohawk

Who to watch: The Washington offense is clicking as a whole, especially after adding wide receiver Dan Walker, who became eligible at midseason after a transfer, to the mix in the middle of the season. Walker has added another weapon for sophomore quarterback Zack Swartz, who has completed 69 of 117 passes for 1,420 yards and 20 touchdowns for the Prexies.

Noteworthy: After already clinching Class 2A playoff berth, Freedom was in search of a new coach with only two weeks left in the regular season when Tom Liberty resigned. Russ Barley, who was an assistant on the staff, has served as the Bulldogs’ interim coach for the final two weeks of the season. … Freedom has lost four of its last five games. … Washington running back Nick Welsh has 1,554 yards and 21 touchdowns. … The Washington defense is allowing only 70 rushing yards per game.
