Liberty’s four-year golf run may have reached its crescendo.

The Hurricanes recently ended their season with a loss to LaSalle. However they had a momentous run over the past four years, claiming four consecutive East Penn Conference crowns and three District 11 titles.

Matt and Michael Vital along with Jase Barker advanced to the state tournament.

Matt Vital shot a second-round 71 to finish tied for 19th place, and Michael Vital fired a 78 to finish 39th. Matt Vital finished one stroke shy of receiving a medal even though he had a triple-bogey on the last round. Jase Barker had to withdraw due to a migraine.

“I struggled a lot with my irons, and my short game wasn’t able to save me,” said Matt Vital. “A few blow-up holes early in the day spoiled the round.”

Both Vitals and Jimmy Barker will graduate, leaving Jase Barker, Matt Ronca, Trent Stahley, Paul Erfle and Adam Unangst as the returning core for next season.

Both Vitals will attend and play at Temple next season. Matthew Vital plans to study science, while Michael will matriculate in computer science.

“It is close by, and my brother and I can go to the same school,” said Matt Vital. “The head coach owns the course, so my brother and I can play anytime. They have a great program and facility, and I think it will greatly benefit us.”

Looking ahead, head coach Steve Bradley already is optimistic about next season.

“We could have three guys shooting in the 70s,” he said. “Trent Stahley is lefty with a good swing and Paul Erfle is a good golfer who could do some good things. Adam Unangst was shooting in the 80s, but I know he will put in the work, and will get better.”

Bradley believes his team next season can be in the running.

“There will be some good teams,” said Bradley. “Nazareth, Northampton, and Emmaus will be good.

“I expect us to be in the league tournament again. If we really play well and work hard, we will have a very good shot at making districts.”
