Liberty and Bethlehem Catholic both suffered narrow losses last weekend in EPC football action.<\/p>\n
Liberty fell to Northampton 13-12 in another close matchup between the two schools. Zyaire Davis gave the Hurricanes an early spark, scoring twice on touchdown receptions. He finished with seven catches for 148 yards, including a 43-yard screen pass for Liberty\u2019s first score.<\/p>\n
Liberty took a 12-7 lead into halftime, but Northampton\u2019s Chase Kessler scored on a 1-yard run with 52 seconds left in the third quarter for the eventual game-winning touchdown.<\/p>\n
The Hurricanes had one final opportunity after intercepting Northampton late in the fourth quarter, but they were unable to convert a 4th-and-18, allowing the Konkrete Kids to get in victory formation.<\/p>\n
The loss dropped the Hurricanes to 1-3 on the season with a Thursday night matchup on the road at Whitehall this week.<\/p>\n
Bethlehem Catholic also dropped a heartbreaker, falling to Easton 20-14 on a three-yard touchdown pass from Zahviay McGurn to Justin Cosover on the final play of regulation.<\/p>\n
It was the first loss of the season for the Hawks (3-1) and a vitally important second win of the campaign for Easton (2-2).<\/p>\n
The Golden Hawks rallied from a 14-0 deficit to tie the game on two Justin Martinez touchdown runs, including a one-yard score that capped a 12-play, 70-yard drive early in the second half.<\/p>\n
Bethlehem Catholic quarterback Axel Burkart had a strong all-around performance, throwing for 176 yards and rushing for 121 yards.<\/p>\n
The Becahi offense was without star wide receiver Carter Vassa, who missed the contest with an injury.<\/p>\n
The Hawks should get back on track this week when they host Allen (3-1) on Saturday night<\/p>\n
