On Jan. 16, the Stroudsburg Varsity Boys’ Basketball team fell to Freedom High School with the final score of 71-57. Stroudsburg has yet to pick up a win in the new year. Freedom came out of the gates guns blazing going on a 13-0 run at the start of the game. Back-to-back three-pointers from Alex Pacitti, ’25, and Jarel Jackson, ’27, added six points to the scoreboard. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 24-15 in favor of Freedom. The second quarter brought more of the same, bringing the score to 38-21 going into the half. After a back-and-forth third quarter, the score was 57-35. A competitive fourth quarter brought the final score to 71-57. “ This was a great team, but we were better, if we played them again, it wouldn’t be close. We could perform much better than we are, and I believe we will.” — Marvin Dorvilus, '25

Mike Mancuso, District Attorney just posted on Facebook details on Clover Road Emerald Lakes Homicide.  Read the content of his post here: Last Sunday January 12, I left home during the Eagles Packers playoff game heading to a murder scene to help the Pocono Mountain Regional Police. Prior to arrival I contacted Detective Mario Orlando from my office and had him coordinate with Pocono Mountain and head to St. Luke’s Medical Center because two male gunshot victims had arrived there along with three young females. All were Venezuelan nationals speaking little to no English. Detective Orlando speaks Spanish and would prove to be very helpful to the investigation. I also reached out to our Investigative Assistant Maria Rosa who is fluent in Spanish and could help with communication and interaction with the females. Maria was glad to help.
