H.S. FOOTBALL: Freedom shuts out Draughn on gridiron
Freedom’s Ty Adkins (32) carries the ball as Draughn’s Paxton Woodie (6) and Bryson Seagle (0) give chase during a varsity football game on Aug. 28 in Morganton. Adkins finished with 95 yards of total offense (50-yard touchdown run; two catches, 45 yards) as the Patriots (2-0) won by a 35-0 final in a contest that was forfeited by the Wildcats (0-2) at halftime due to numerous injuries in their program and a concern for player safety.
