Wit and wisdom at Liberty ** ‘Canes’ distinguished staff combines heavy dedication with a decidedly light touch. ** PIAA 4A Title Game: Liberty vs. McKeesport – 7 p.m., Saturday, Hersheypark Stadium

They made jokes, lots of them. They will do so again tonight, and maybe even on Saturday before making the first-ever trip to Hershey for a Bethlehem Area School District team to play for a PIAA football championship. Pressure, you see, is easier to deal with when you share…

Frankford hoping to rebound after Turkey Day loss ** Pioneers, playing third game in eight days, face Liberty tonight.

Frankford did not tune up for its first-ever PIAA Class 4A quarterfinal appearance the way coach Mike Capriotti had hoped it would on Thanksgiving Day, losing to previously winless North Catholic, 12-0. But the Pioneers woke up Friday morning a renewed team, Capriotti said. They…

Liberty’s 48-10 victory over Easton last Friday earned the Hurricanes their third District 11 Class 4A Championship, and gave them a 10-win season for the third time in school history. It also finally got the monkey off the ‘Canes’ backs. They had lost nine straight to Easton,…

Liberty breaks free at last ** Hurricanes romp from start to finish, win District 11 4A title. ** District 11 Class 4A: Liberty 48, Easton 10

Liberty opened fiercely, especially on defense, and continued to emphatically erase memories of past failures against Easton in the PIAA District 2-4-11 subregional semifinals Friday night. It seemed easy, especially every time Hurricanes linebacker Evan Bauer charged into the…

Red Rovers dog Liberty again ** Easton scores all 28 of its points in the fourth quarter. ** Game of the Week: Easton 28, Liberty 21

Go ahead, if you will, and think of Easton as just some undersized, offensively-challenged team that wasn’t supposed to be within tail-light distance of Liberty Friday night at Cottingham Stadium. But don’t forget about Easton’s storied past: About the 718 all-time victories,…

Getting mentally up for Dieruff on Sept. 16 at J. Birney Crum Stadium was no problem at all for Liberty, even though the Hurricanes knew they had major advantages on both sides of the ball. Liberty played Dieruff with the same tenacity it expects to have against Easton (5-2,…
