Raiders still perfect

And then there was one!

Tamaqua is the lone remaining undefeated team in the TIMES NEWS coverage area.

Northwestern's loss to Wilson on Friday night eliminated it from the ranks of the unbeaten.

In this week's OVERTIME lead we'll discus why the Blue Raiders are still perfect through three weeks of the season.

OVERTIME will also look at a productive Bulldog back, a versatile Bear, a long distance hookup by the Tigers, and several other interesting area football facts.

Remaley runs past SV

Northern Lehigh head coach Joe Tout knew it was just a matter of time.

Junior running back Cody Remaley, one of the premier players in the TIMES NEWS area, was due for a breakout game.

Trailing 26-21 last week at Saucon Valley, Tout stuck with his game plan and Remaley finished the night with 208 yards rushing on 33 carries for three touchdowns, leading the Bulldogs to a 41-32 triumph.

His effort enabled him to earn the third TIMES NEWS Player of the Week honors this season.

Momentum on the line

It has been a while since Lehighton and Tamaqua entered their annual rivalry off of Opening Night wins.

The last time both teams were victorious to kick off the season was in 2002, when the Indians, then coached by Bill Brong, knocked off Panther Valley 37-12 and Tom Bonner's Blue Raiders edged Jim Thorpe 7-6.

Opening wins may or may not set the tone for the season, but when the Raiders head down Route 443 Friday night for their non-league clash with the Tribe, both clubs are hoping to continue the momentum.

Hunter sets Indian record

It was a record that stood for 40 years.

But it stands no more.

Last Friday night, Lehighton's Kyle Hunter picked apart Marian's secondary in leading his team to a 35-13 victory.

The senior quarterback completed 10-of-13 passes for 296 yards and a touchdown.

While no one knew it at the time, a little research discovered that his performance set a school record for most passing yards in a game.

The 296 bettered the mark of 285 set by Terry Wogenrich on Oct. 12, 1968 against East Stroudsburg.
