High School Boys Basketball: Holiday tournament review

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER We gave you league rankings early last week. We won't change them at this point no matter what happened in the holiday tournaments because everybody plays different competition and teams that went 0-2 -- and there were a few -- might have played much more difficult foes than teams that went 2-0. But here's how the teams in the Lehigh Valley Conference fared in order of how they were ranked last week: 1. Liberty (5-2) -- lost to Rancocas Valley 53-50, lost to Archbishop Carroll 59-55. 2. Easton (6-2) -- lost to Wilson 50-49, defeated Phillipsburg 55-32. 3. Freedom (4-4) -- lost to St. Pallotti 65-58, lost to Coatesville 58-54. 4.
