No Liberty letup; the Hurricanes win big for the second straight night

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER Stroudsburg's best hope for a win over Liberty tonight in Bethlehem was that the Hurricanes, coming off an impressive win over Easton last night, might come out flat and looking ahead to Friday's game against Freedom. No dice. Liberty (4-0) further established itself as the area's best team with another blowout victory over a decent Mounties squad (2-2). The Hurricanes led 20-5 after one quarter and never looked back. Pat Donnelly led a balanced attack with 14 points.
