at Freedom?

Above is a look at the three trophies to be presented to the champs, and, no, those are not hoagies in the wrappers. Those are the gold and silver medals to be awarded:

There were no medals or trophies at stake in the 4A boys consolation game, just a ticket to the PIAA tournament. Stroudsburg (16-11) advanced with a 67-64 victory over Liberty, ending the Hurricanes season at 13-13 and denying Chad Landis' program of reaching states for the eighth time in nine years.

Senior Jacob Battle not only became the 1,000-point scorer in Stroudsburg history, but he also hit the go-ahead jumper with 17 seconds left and sealed the game with a pair of free throws with 1.7 seconds remaining.

Deshawn Oyeniyi was a dynamo for Liberty, scoring 17 of his team-high 24 points in the second half. His desperation, halfcourt heave at the buzzer hit off the backboard.

Liberty, though had 15 turnovers in the second half and the last one cost them a chance to either tie or go-ahead after Battle's jumper gave Stroudsburg a 65-64 lead.

Here's the box:
