November 15, 1974 — A defensive score and extra point stand up for Pleasant Valley as it holds on for a 7-6 victory over Marian. After a scoreless first half, the Colts fumble on their first possession of the second half and Dave Zinkler recovers and returns the ball 12 yards for a touchdown. Guy Morfesi adds what turns out to be a crucial extra point for the Bears, coached by Tony Caracio. A 37-yard pass from Bill Bonenberger to Mike Janowiak leads to Marian’s only tally — a 1-yard TD run by Pete Albano, but PV stops a two-point attempt to maintain the lead. Late in the game, Dan Marchese intercepts a pass to seal the win.
