October 28, 1966 - Palmerton receives touchdown runs from three different players, including a long one from Rod Berger, to give Palmerton a 20-7 Lehigh Valley League victory over Emmaus. Walt Konek gets the Blue Bombers on the board in the second quarter as he completes an 84-yard drive with a 2-yard burst into the end zone. The winners expand their lead later in the frame when Berger escapes down the left side for a 90-yard TD run. Palmerton, whose defense twice stops the Hornets in the red zone, adds an insurance tally in the final period as Connie Rehrig ends a 15-play march with a 2-yard scoring run.
