November 13, 1954 - Lehighton’s Willis Hough accounts for his team’s only touchdown and also provides the point-after to lead the Indians to a 7-6 Lehigh Valley League victory over rival Palmerton. After the Blue Bombers score in the second quarter on a 25-yard pass from Dave Jones to Dick Zimmerman, Lehighton’s Bob Barclay blocks the PAT attempt. Hough, whose playing time increased a few weeks earlier after LaMar Semmel suffered an injury, scores on the Indians’ next possession when he catches an 18-yard TD pass from Lowell Long. Hough then plows through the middle on the conversion to give his team the lead and the eventual win.
