September 19, 1981 - A blocked punt return for a touchdown proves to be the game-winning score as Lehighton edges Tamaqua by a 13-12 score. With the Indians trailing in the third quarter, Chris Fritzinger breaks through the line and blocks the kick. Phil Spohn recovers the loose ball and takes it seven yards to the end zone to give his team the lead. The Blue Raiders score a touchdown on a 2-yard run by Greg Hinkel with a minute to play, but a defensive stop - led by Lance Dietz and Scott Moyer - on the two-point attempt preserves the Lehighton win. The Indians, coached by Dave Parsons, also receive a TD from Dietz in the opening quarter.
