Freedom continues to dominate on the volleyball court this season, as the Pates are one of a handful of programs in the area that remain undefeated.
The Pates (7-0) knocked off Stroudsburg, Easton and Dieruff last week, with the Rovers being the only team to take a game away from Freedom.
This week has four matches on tap for Freedom with a big one coming on Wednesday against Parkland (5-0).
Parkland is always a gauge for every team, as the Trojans are perennially one of the district title contenders each year. The Pates swept East Stroudsburg North on Monday night to kickoff their week.
Outside of Wednesday’s matchup, Freedom also has home matches against Liberty and Allen on Friday and Saturday to close out the week.
The Hurricanes (4-2) are coming off a loss to Bethlehem Catholic last week, but rebounded with a sweep over East Stroudsburg South on Monday. They have a tough week ahead with Emmaus and Freedom on Wednesday and Friday respectively.
Bethlehem Catholic is hoping they’re building some momentum, as the Hawks have won four straight since losing to Emmaus in five games on September 10.
After topping Pleasant Valley on Monday, Freedom has Central Catholic and Dieruff on tap this week. The Hawks should be able to push their win streak forward with this week’s slate.
