Northern Lehigh picked up some momentum by winning the Slatington Rotary Tournament last week and carried it through the Blue Mountain Gap on Tuesday night to hand Palmerton a 73-38 thumping as both resumed Colonial League action.
The Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1) exploded for 25 points right out of the gate and after Palmerton (1-7, 0-5) cut it to five with a little run to start the second quarter, the flood gates really opened.
