September 23, 1966 - Loren LaRose scores a pair of touchdowns and also throws for one to help Lehighton post an 18-14 upset victory over Nazareth. The Indians, coached by Mike Ebbert, get on the board first in the opening quarter when LaRose hits Gerry Nansteel for a 70-yard TD pass. After the Eagles take the lead, Lehighton later responds with a 76-yard scoring drive. A 22-yard pass to Ted Krieger sets up Larose’s 3-yard tally. A sack by Ted Dougher on Nazareth’s next possession and a fumble recovery by Randy Longacre leads to another LaRose score, this one from the one-yard line.
