That would be the end of Mahanoy’s scoring for the game as Pen Argyl ran away, scoring another touchdown in the 2nd quarter to take a 21-13 lead into the halftime break.
With 9 minutes left in the third, Pen Argyl score again, this time attempting a two point conversion, which was successful.
Two more scores in the 4th quarter, both with traditional point after attempts, would give Pen Argyl a 43-13 victory.
