Over the course of three months Freedom has competed against schools such as Riverside, Rock Ridge, Potomac Falls, Stone Bridge and Cologan. This was a major change from many schools leaving the 5A region.
This season was a transition. With coach Karen Langrock, on maternity leave, coach Christopher Weeks stepped in as head coach along with coach Alison Gittelman as assistant coach.
