“We played well tonight. We eliminated some mistakes. We played a quality team in Lehighton. I thought on defense we made some plays that can make us a tough team to beat when we play like that.” Pottsville coach Tom McGeoy stated.
Pottsville came out receiving the second half kickoff and wasted little time sending the game into mercy rule status. Taking possession at their own 26 yard line, Snowell connected with DiCello, who raced through the Indian secondary before being taken down at the 19. Walchak capped off the two play drive by barreling his way to the end zone to make it 35-0.
