Captains for the Freedom and Patton varsity football teams meet at midfield prior to Thursday night’s season-opening contest — which was moved up a day because of forecasted thunderstorms on Friday night — between the Burke County rivals. The visiting Patriots ultimately won by a 33-0 final in a game that was called early in the third quarter due to lightning. Freedom also won Wednesday night’s home JV contest by a 35-0 score.
