Northeast (8-0-0)
On Thanksgiving, the host Vikings pulled out an 8-7 win over
Central to finish 8-0-0 and win their first title since 1955. Flat all
game, Northeast got a charge when Jim Duff made a one-handed,
off-balance, 38-yard reception of a pass that had been tipped by Ivars
"Max" Bilkins. With his son, Bob, momentarily groggy, coach Bill
Bernardo sent in backup QB Jim Sweetwood and the result was a TD pass to
Duff on fourth-and-goal from the 8 with 5:16 left. Following an offsides
penalty, Bernardo went 1 1/2 yards for the winning conversion. Central
and Roxborough were second at 5-2-1.
