Knights Cop 5th Straight from Slaters 32-0 Never before in the long history of the Bangor-Pen Argyl football series has one team won five games in a row. That is until this past Thanksgiving Day when the Knights clobbered the Slaters 32-0. lim Seitz had a field day as the offensive line and blocking backs opened huge holes in the Bangor defense, enabling jim to pick up 180 yds. rushing and one touchdown, eaming him the outstanding player award for the day. 16 seniors played their final game for Pen Argyl: Center-Craig Dallyg linemen-Mike Manoway 1injured the last 3 games1, Kyle Parsons 1lost for the season in the Stroudsburg game15 ends-Craig Benn, Allen Tobias, and Alan Bellisg tackles-Bob Edwards 1team leader in tackles with 951, jim Hunter 13rd in tackles with 781, and Brian Tucker: guards-Tom Detweiler and Dave Lemleyg quarterback Roger Woolley: tailbacks-Rhys Williams 1leading ground gainer with 676 yds. and 7 TD1 and Gary Snyder 13rd in rushing with 254 yds.1, fullback Glenn Bray 1gained 119 yds. and 2 TD without losing a yd.1g wing- back-jim Seitz 12nd in rushing with 268 yds.1. Their outstanding attitudes and personalities will be sorely missed. The 4-6 record the varsity compiled was certainly mis- leading. For a team with only one 200 pounder 1Hunter1 the Knights played every team right down to the wire except Saucon Valley 1a bad day that day1. Even the scores are misleading as many of the points were scored when the Knights were gambling and playing catch up football. Perhaps the best effort of the year took place when the Big Green traveled to Parkland to meet what proved to be an unbeaten Trojan team. The huge Trojans scored a quick touchdown when safetyman jeff Sparrow slipped and Parkland quarterback Bill Williams flipped a 50 yard TD pass to Dick Piger. But the Knights, using a single wing the only time of the year, controlled the ball most of the first half and put together a 27 yard field goal by Allen Tobias 1the first ever by a Pen Argyl varsity player1 and a safety by Glenn Bray 1tackled Vince Quigg in the end zone1 to trail by only 7-5 at the half. Another touchdown and a safety in the 2nd half provided the I6-5 score. Parkland coach joe Gerenser went into the Pen Argyl locker room and stated that the Knights were the best team they faced all year. TOP LEFT: jeff Sparrow 1401, who led team in pass interceptions with 4, saved the day here when he batted down this Lehighton pass to preserve the Knights 6-0 win. TOP MIDDLE LEFT: jeff Sparrow 1401 retums a Naureth kickoff to the Pen Argyl 40 yd. line. jim Seitz 1ll1 is the blocker. TOP MIDDLE RIGHT: Linebacker Wayne Lugg 1211, credited with 62 tackles on the season, refused to let Lehighton runner loose and drags him down for a loss. TOP RIGHT: One of the top games of every year is the Nazareth game. Nazareth won this one 14-0 but not without a struggle. MIDDLE LEFT: Allen Tobias 1831 boots a PAT against Bangor. The holder is Roger Woolley 1101 and blocking are Gary Snyder 1421 and Craig Benn 1841. MIDDLE RIGHT: Kyle Parsons, lost at mid-season with a knee operation, cheers the team on at Nazareth. BOTTOM LEFT: Bob Edwards 1511 and Allen Tobias 1831 forced Catty quarterback to throw a bad pass on this play. BOTTOM RIGHT: Gary Snyder 1421 lunges over the goal for a 2 point conversion against Bangor. Other Knights on the scene are Craig Dally 1521, Craig Benn 1841, Bob Edwards 1511, and Jim Hunter 1651. 20
