1996
On Sept. 20, 1996, North Pocono beat Dunmore 26-21 in a Big 11 game. The Times-Tribune’s Sept. 20, 2026, lookback, in the items from 30 years earlier, says Garrett Swartz led the pass rush. He returned an interception 15 yards for a touchdown and a 26-14 lead, and he scored on a 5-yard catch. The photo caption has Nick Butler moving in on Dunmore’s Dan Pigga.
After Joe Ralicke hit Paul Gianzanti for a 44-yard touchdown, Dunmore got inside the 30 twice in the fourth quarter. Swartz batted down a third-and-6 pass and rushed the passer twice, forcing two straight incompletions. The last drive ended on downs at the North Pocono 21 with 13 seconds left.
