No area team has played better lately than Phillipsburg.  They were looking to cap off a perfect summer in Lehigh Valley action.  The Bethlehem Catholic Golden Hawks are a seasoned group and they certainly weren't going to go down without a fight in the Forks Summer League Divaz Finals.  Click here to check out all the playoff action in Forks, the final championship of the summer.

Bethlehem Catholic already has a strong Divaz team.  Check out the Rumor Mill to see who arrived to strengthen the ship and keep it pointing in the right direction.

Most of the Divaz summer action has concluded.  The Forks Summer League finished up their regular season this week and LVBR was on hand for some of the games.  The Phillipsburg Stateliners were missing a number of key pieces, but still continued their impressive run.  They finished the league up undefeated after sweeping through the Holy Family Tournament a month ago.  Nicole Pritchard stepped her game up for the Stateliners this week.  Here is a recap of this week's action.

The Dunmore Bucks won the Battle of Scranton in the Sportsfest Divaz Finals.  Although there weren't any Lehigh Valley teams battling for the crown, there was still plenty of our local teams in action at Cedar Beach throughout the weekend.  Our busy LVBR staff took in 22 games in the Divaz tournament over the last 4 days.  Check out our coverage here.

7/19 The Liberty Hurricanes were looking for two titles in one day in Divaz action on Wednesday.  The Northampton Konkrete Kids had something to say about the matter though at the Catasauqua Summer League Finals.  Easton is off to a strong start in Sportsfest.  Check out our coverage of action from Catasauqua, Cedar Beach and also Holy Family!

The Northwestern Tigers have been busy this weekend, playing the Stellar "Catch a Rising Star" Tournament, as well as the Holy Family Tournament.  They went undefeated at Stellar to capture the crown, but things haven't been as easy in Nazareth.  They are battling for a playoff spot and need some big wins on Tuesday to make it that far.  LVBR was on hand most of the day Sunday as well as Monday afternoon, to bring you Divaz action.

What can Brown do for you?  Parkland's Olivia Brown delivered in a big way as the Trojans survived in the consolation bracket of the Stellar "Catch a Rising Star" Tournament on Saturday.  The second Holy Family Tournament of the summer got underway as well this weekend.  LVBR was there to take in Divaz action at both events.

The weather is heating up and so is the action with tournaments all throughout a busy July.  Check out our Divaz coverage featuring action from the Stellar "Catch a Rising Star" Tournament as well as AAU coverage of the USA Invitational. Sabrina Mertz of Northwestern led a balanced attack as the Tigers advanced at Cedar Beach.
