With a 13-5-2 regular season record Freeland earned a first round round bye and hosted Gladwin in district semi finals. Set to replaced the field after this season the Falcons boys came in looking to shine on the final game of the historic pitch. Having not played a game since October 7th it didn't take long for the Falcons to find their stride. In the 3rd minute a corner kick by Ian Harden found his twin brother Cole for the 1-0 lead. 4 minutes later Ian stepped up for another corner and deflected it off a Gladwin defender for the 2-0 lead. In the 27th minute, winger Nathan Anaya carried the ball to his right and struck back to the left for the bottom corner of the goal and 3-0 lead going into half. Second half started much like the first. In the 42nd minute Sam Moeller pressured a defender and deflected a clearance into the back of the net. 4-0 falcons. Nathan Anaya repeated his first half move and made it 5-0 shortly after with the assist coming from Cole Harden. Moeller continues to work hard, earning a foul in the Gladwin goal box. Defender Brady Vandaele stepped up to take a PK, scoring his first goal of the year and the 6-0 lead. In the 57th minute CDM Jackson Puvalowski was played the ball from Freeland winger Reed Bandlow. He took a couple touches to the right and struck the ball to the top left corner and the 7-0 lead. As the final goal of the game, Puvalowski gets the unique honor of scoring the last goal on this home turf. The defense and keeper Sawyer Prast held strong and secured the clean sheet and 7-0 victory. The Falcons play for the District championship on Saturday at noon in Standish-Sterling versus Tawas
