Early in the fourth quarter, the QB from Central Bucks West, tossed a 43-yard TD strike to Craig Scheffler of Northern Lehigh to pull the East to within one, 21-20. The East went for two and got it when Norley passed to Ryan Priest of Mechanicsburg.

The West had a chance to win it, but Chris Jelic was wide right on a 43-yard field goal with just seven seconds to play. Serra Catholic teammates Rich Bowen and Roy Jenkins gave the West a 7-0 lead on a 10-yard pass. The East tied it late in the first period on a 20-yard pass from Norley to Berwick’s Doug Hinderliter. After Jelic ran a yard to make it 14-7, Hinderliter grabbed a 12-yard pass from Berwick teammate Mike West for a 14-14 tie at the half.
