FROM KEITH GROLLER
The latest state boys basketball poll was released late Sunday night by the Harrisburg Patriot News and Liberty's back-to-back losses knocked the Hurricanes from No. 3 right out of the top 10 among 4A teams.
In fact, Liberty is not even listed among in the honorable mention category after losing to Nazareth and Pocono Mountain West.
Allen is still in the top 10 -- seventh -- even after its loss in the Lehigh Valley Hoop Group Showcase to New Jersey power Gill St. Bernard's.
Probably the team that deserves some recognition and not getting much at the present time is Easton. The Red Rovers have the best record among District 11 4A teams at 13-1, but are not ranked. Admittedly, Easton has not played a difficult schedule of late. Its last three wins have come over teams that have combined for seven wins.
That figures to change soon with games against Allen, Nazareth and Liberty all upcoming.
In 3A, Central Catholic, Saucon and Wilson are all on the honorable mention list.
In 2A, Notre Dame and Salisbury have surfaced in the top 10 for the first time all season. And, in the case of Salisbury, maybe the first time ever -- at least since the Antoine Hubbard era.
The Crusaders are eighth and the Falcons 10th.
In 1A, no District 11 teams are mentioned.
Here's the list courtesy of the Patriot-News and Michael Bullock:
