Liberty Beats Freedom

Police: fans well behaved during rivalry.

It was billed as the "showdown at high noon" in Bethlehem, but the atmosphere did not go beyond traditional fanfare.

Cheers came from both sides of Frank Banko Field, and some students took their shirts off to spell out their school's name.

Liberty High School ultimately beat Freedom High School and won the District 11 championship 28-14.

There was increased security due to raucous behavior earlier this month when the two rivals played.

Liberty now advances to the PIAA state tournament playoffs.
