The lack of an offense early and turning the ball over six times kept Palmerton from getting off on the right foot on Friday night.
Notre Dame of Green Pond capitalized on a couple of breaks and rolled to a 26-6 victory over the Blue Bombers in the Colonial League opener for both.
The Crusaders scored two TDs in the first quarter and answered the bell with another at the start of the second half and the Bombers never recovered.
