Freedom came from behind two weeks in a row against Osbourn Park and 2006 state champion Osbourn to join Hylton, Forest Park and Manassas Park as the only 2-0 teams in the area.

By our logic, there was just too much talent in Prince William County this year for a year-in, year-out cellar dweller to emerge in 2013, a year supposed to be dominated by Hylton and Stonewall Jackson with an outside shot for maybe Battlefield, Potomac and someone else to make some noise.

So you can imagine our surprise when Freedom came from behind two weeks in a row against Osbourn Park and 2006 state champion Osbourn to join Hylton, Forest Park and Manassas Park as the only 2-0 teams in the area.

And here's the crazy thing: if Freedom upsets Battlefield at home in Woodbridge on Thursday like Forest Park did in Haymarket on Friday, and the Bruins fall against another strong program stunned by defeat last week in Stonewall Jackson, the Eagles would have the best record locally, period.

That's because Hylton and Manassas Park are both off this week.

"Freedom's been one of the best kept secrets in the state of Virginia when it comes to talent," said Wortham last week in the first of two interviews.

In the program's 10-year history, Freedom had never held a winning record, let alone claim victory on opening day.
