Palmerton survives late scare to hold on to win 28-20

Coming into the game both teams have lost the previous week so both teams will look to bounce back.

Northern Leigh would strike first with a Garrett Smoyer touchdown pass to Colin Karetsky to make it 6-0. That would be the score at halftime also with both offenses not getting anything going.

After Halftime, Carson Eckhart would make it 7-6 with a touchdown run. After an Interception on the next try, Palmerton then took the short field and T.K Gursky punches in a touchdown to make it 14-6. Garrett Smoyer then gets a touchdown run to make it 14-12. Conner Lawless then has a 73 yard touchdown catch to make it 21-12. Garrett Smoyer would score to make it 28-20. The defense for Northern Leigh got a stop and had 2 minutes to drive down the field but a Cale Young Interception sealed it.
