Johnny White, Freedom-Woodbridge mature into a tough team to beat

Johnny White felt anything but liberated when he arrived at Freedom-Woodbridge three years ago as a freshman. Hed been part of an undefeated season at nearby Rippon Middle School the previous fall and was also accustomed to success in the Dale City Sports Club and Boys and Girls Club programs.

The Eagles, however, were at a different stage in developing a program the stage where you lose big.

I wasnt used to losing the way were losing, and so, my attitude was really bad, said White, now a senior and four-year starter at quarterback. If something bad happened on the field, Id take my helmet off. I needed to change my body language and how I approached the coaches and the players.

White says he made the change during a season-ending loss to Gar-Field in 2012.

We were always getting run over by these teams, and we basically saw some light, he said. Of course we didnt win, but we actually had a game. It was fun. There were no conflicts or arguments.

If that was a glimmer, the Eagles (2-0) flipped a switch last season, earning the programs first playoff berth. Theyve opened 2014 with two 30-plus point wins, over Osbourn Park and Osbourn. Freedom will travel to Battlefield on Friday, at 7:30 p.m. to take on the Bobcats (2-0). Last week, Battlefield routed Forest Park, 34-13, behind Matt Gallaghers 191 yards and two passing touchdowns.

This isnt your older brothers Freedom. Junior defensive end Kyree Campbell has sprouted to 6-foot-5, 270 pounds and received his 16th Football Bowl Subdivision offer last week from South Carolina. Steve Spurrier, the Ball Coach himself, called to offer Campbell, said Freedom Coach Gary Wortham Sr. Josh Anderson, a senior transfer from Tennessee, runs a 4.4 40-yard dash. And 95 percent of the teams roster comprises seniors.

One of those seniors, Quentin Wallace, is a team captain along with White. On Friday, the two hooked up on a touchdown reception inside the red zone, when Wallace beat his defender with a zig move and ran a seam route. Wallace missed much of the 2012 season with broken tibia and fibula bones. When he returned to the field last year, he could sense something was different.

Character was built throughout the whole team, Wallace said. The selfishness went away we removed it from the program. We became a family, instead of just a team. I cant even fathom what we did last year.

Educational freedom

Posted on by

What is the first word that comes to mind when I say America? It could be one of many words, but I consistently hear the word freedom.

The Oxford dictionary defines freedom as the power or right to act, speak or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. According to this definition, one should be able to do, say and think what they want without political limitation or punishment, but I want to reassess this definition in context with American college campuses and against foreign counterparts.

We can dispute the fact of our choice to attend colleges these days, but regardless we are not required by law to attend a university; thus, it is our choice to attend college. The choice to attend or not emulates freedom, but colleges limit that freedom once were in. At this point we should choose how and what we want to learn. Generally speaking, were not given many choices about our education throughout the first eighteen years, so college often seems our only option.

Unfortunately, universities in the United States still want to hold your hand throughout the process. Busy work due at each lecture or weekly online assignments evidence this. It provides professors with the confidence we are doing our work, and I understand its value and purpose, but its too much control. Im not saying that weekly busy work is pointless, but Im saying it should not be necessary. It implicitly says that professors dont have confidence in their students to learn the material by themselves alongside weekly lectures.

Society wonders why students come out unprepared and without the self-discipline, time-management and prioritization skills to succeed in a workplace. Universities are supposed to be a glimpse of the real world, but if they keep holding our hand, so to speak, and controlling our studying, they prolong the life lessons.

Foreign counterparts have different traditions when it comes to university level education. First, students claim control of their education starting at a younger age. Once in a university, they are fully responsible for their own learning. Professors report which chapters will be discussed in each lecture and maybe recommend some outside academic papers alongside helpful exercises, but none of that is checked in each lecture. There might be one to two larger group assignments throughout the semester, but most of the course is graded by one or two exams. If a student is struggling with the material, he or she is in charge of meeting with the professor and asking for clarification. Students have the freedom to learn how they want. Schools place the responsibility of education on the students and let them choose if they want to learn or not.

This is real educational freedom. The material is all the same, but the method of attaining the knowledge is completely open to interpretation. This type of freedom would be overwhelming to the average American student. Give most American students three hours of class time a week per class without weekly benchmarks, and watch what they do with the rest of it. This method doesnt supply a road map to get from point A to point B, but drops you off at A and says find your way to B; thats freedom.

Freedom Rock coming to Cedar Falls

Posted on by

CEDAR FALLS | The Freedom Rock is coming to Black Hawk County and Cedar Falls.

Greenfield artist Ray "Bubba" Sorensen II, who started painting, and repainting, a huge roadside boulder near there with patriotic images annually since 1999, said he's accepted a proposal from Cedar Falls American Legion Post 237 members Sid Morris and Tom Hagarty to locate and paint a Freedom Rock here, possibly late next year at the earliest.

Sorensen has launched a Freedom Rock Tour to locate and paint a rock in each of the state's 99 counties, with local support.

That is being headed up here by Morris and Hagarty, both veterans and former members of the Cedar Falls City Council, who will endeavor to raise about $5,000 to cover Sorensen's expenses for the local project.

"There's a lot of rich veteran history in the county," Sorensen said. "I'm excited to explore the options of what they will want to portray."

Morris and Hagarty said a committee will be formed to propose a number of themes or ideas to Sorensen, who will come up with a final design.

The Freedom Rock near Greenfield, just off the Greenfield-Guthrie Center exit on Interstate 80, took on a Black Hawk County theme in 2012, as Sorensen painted it with images of Waterloo's five Sullivan brothers killed during World War II. It also featured quadruple-amputee sailor Taylor Morris of Cedar Falls, Sid Morris' grandson, disabled in a bomb blast in Afghanistan.

The elder Morris said he's happy the rock is coming to Black Hawk County and Cedar Falls.

"Bubba Sorensen is quite good, and it's been very popular," Morris said. "A large number of counties have applied to be recipients of the rock. I admire his work. It gives us an opportunity to to recognize the veterans who have served in each county, and the value the veterans have given to this state."

In all, Sorensen said 72 of the 99 counties have applied for and been accepted for a Freedom Rock and, of those, he's been able to complete 20 so far. Black Hawk County is among the latest counties to apply and be accepted, Sorensen said. He said applications are accepted on a first come, first served basis, including a down payment for his expenses.
