January 27, 1978 — A big third quarter helps Slatington pull away from host Pocono Mountain for an eventual 70-54 Centennial League victory. Leading by just four points, Marc Benninger scores six points during a Bulldog 11-2 spurt that extends the advantage to 13. Benninger, who ends with a game-high 19 points, adds five more early in the fourth frame as the lead swells to 19. The winners, coached by Glenn Rissmiller, receive 13 points from Dave Oertner, 12 from Mike Fisher and 11 from Ron Breiner. After the contest, a mechanical issue forces the players to share a bus with fans back to Slatington.
