Liberty gets complete effort in coming from behind to beat Emmaus, 42-33

Posted on by

When a team scores six touchdowns and racks up 417 yards of offense the way Liberty did on Friday night, it can be easy to forget about the defense and special teams.

But make no mistake, the Hurricanes wouldn't have posted a 42-33 Eastern Pennsylvania Conference win over Emmaus without those units delivering.

While the offense certainly had enough big moments to delight a sizable Homecoming crowd at Bethlehem Area School District Stadium, the defense shut out the Green Hornets in the fourth quarter.

And a punt that rolled to a stop on the Emmaus 3 led to the pivotal turnover and subsequent clinching score as Liberty reached the halfway mark of the regular season at 3-2 and in the hunt for a postseason berth.

"We've got to give effort all the time and if we do, we can play pretty good football," Hurricanes coach John Truby said. "We got down tonight, but we kept playing."

Emmaus, which had two guys rush for more than 100 yards in Wyl Miller and Andy Davidson, seemed unstoppable at times.

And when Miller got loose for a 66-yard TD run on the Green Hornets' first play from scrimmage in the second half, it created a 27-14 deficit for Liberty.

However, Liberty gamely fought back and gained the upper hand in the back-and-forth battle thanks in large part to its defense, which got stops on four of Emmaus's final five possessions.

The key stop came after Michael Lehman's punt rolled dead on the Emmaus 3 with 4:25 left and the Hurricanes protecting a 35-33 lead.

The Liberty defense swarmed on Davidson, popped the ball loose and Justin Soimes recovered. Two plays later, senior Ryan Lawrence had his third rushing TD of the night and the Hurricanes were on their way to a bounce back win after a disappointing 56-20 loss to Whitehall last week.

WASHINGTON Prospective Republican presidential candidates are expected to promote "religious liberty" at home and abroad at a gathering of religious conservatives, rebuking an unpopular President Barack Obama while skirting divisive social issues that have tripped up the GOP.

The annual Voters Value Summit opens Friday in Washington with speeches from several potential presidential candidates, including Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. The speaking program features ambitious Republicans with positions on social issues across the spectrum from the libertarian-leaning Paul, who favors less emphasis on abortion and gay marriage, to Huckabee, a former Southern Baptist pastor whose conservative social values define his brand.

But evangelical organizers of the event largely expect participants to unite around what they call Obama's attack on religious liberty, according to Tony Perkins, president of the host organization, the Family Research Council. Perkins cited an Obama administration rule that compels health insurers to cover female contraception in addition to a foreign policy he says doesn't do enough to protect Christian values around the world.

"Without religious freedom we lose the ability to even address those other issues," Perkins said of social issues, declaring that "a fundamental shift" is underway toward religious freedom but that evangelical voters would not forget conservative values such as traditional marriage come Election Day.
