Emmaus Boys Fall to Parkland 39-36
Parkland Trojans now advance to the 4A basketball final on Saturday. Emmaus will get to play one more game too.
The Emmaus Green Horntets lost to the Parkland Trojans 39-36 Wednesday night in the District 11 4A boys basketball semi-final game at Freedom High School in Bethlehem.
The Trojans had fallen behind early in their latest meeting with Emmaus but took the lead by halftime.
Emmaus battled back from a double-digit deficit in the second half to come within a free throw of tying the score with less than a minute to play. But the free throw was missed and Parkland held on for the win.
