November 22, 1962 - Bill Heydt's blocked punt and recovery in the end zone lifts Palmerton to a 6-0 Thanksgiving Day victory over rival Slatington. Locked in a scoreless tie in the third quarter, Heydt gets free and knocks down Ed Kern's punt attempt. Heydt scrambles onto the loose ball for the game's only score. Heydt also finishes with 31 carries for 167 yards to lead the Blue Bombers offense. The Palmerton defense limits its opponent to just 55 yards and benefits from two Bob Barilla interceptions.
