FROM KEITH GROLLER
Just in the nick of time, Liberty got in the game -- and win -- it needed to qualify for the District 11 4A tournament.
The Hurricanes defeated Phoenixville on Wednesday afternoon, 49-45. Jaevon Dobbins had another big game with 20 points and 12 rebounds and Deshawn Oyeniyi was solid with 15 points and 12 rebounds.
The win puts Liberty at 11-11 and keeps alive the program's streak of qualifying for the district tournament, now nine straight years.
Liberty, the No. 9 seed, will play at No. 8 Whitehall when the District 11 4A tournament begins Wednesday with preliminary-round games. The other Wednesday night matchup in 4A will have No. 10 Easton playing at No. 7 Allen.
