FROM DEAN BEERS

Jordan Gray’s three touchdowns and Maxwell Wasilewski two scores help Nazareth  in overpowering Pleasant Valley, 31-9, on the opening night of high school football in the Lehigh Valley.

Nazareth (1-0) running back Jordan Gray (17 carries, 98 yards, 3 TD) led the charge in the first half with two touchdowns – one rushing and one receiving as his team took a 13-0 lead into halftime at Andrew Leh Stadium in Nazareth.

The Blue Eagles then extended their lead to begin the 2^nd half of play, when Wasilewski (4 rec., 69 yards) would return the second half kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. Nazareth 19-0.

About 1 minute and half a later, it would be Wasilewski again, this time he’d be on the receiving end of a 47 yard touchdown toss from quarterback Spencer King (11-17, 263 yards, 2 TD).  Blue Eagles 25-0.

Mountain Valley Conference favorite Pleasant Valley (0-1) would get on the scoreboard, when the snap went thru the end zone for a Bears safety, 25-2.

The Bears would score again assisted by a kickoff return of 55 yards to the Blue Eagles 7 yard line. Then Austyn Borre (4 rushes, 36 yards) would finish off the scoring drive on a 7 yard touchdown run, Nazareth 25-9.

Gray would erase any thoughts of a Pleasant Valley comeback with 3:14 left in the game, with a 25  yard scamper to the end zone.
