January 28, 1966 - Pete Steigerwalt’s driving basket with three seconds to play lifts Palmerton to a 69-68 Lehigh Valley League victory over Stroudsburg. After scoring 11 of his 24 points in the third quarter, Steigerwalt is forced to leave the game due to an anke injury. The senior, however, returns in the final frame to deliver the winning shot. Dean Schott tallies 13 of his 24 points in the fourth period for the Blue Bombers, who had dropped a 24-point decision to the Mounties in their previous matchup. The winners also receive seven points from both Mike Samok and Connie Rehrig.
