DISTRICT 11 HISTORY:
Jim Thorpe hosted their first night game on Saturday, October 12th, 1991. The booster club rented lighting from All Sport Floodlighting of Neptune City, NJ. After seeing Colonial League teams Notre Dame, Palisades, Salisbury, and Southern Lehigh use these lights the club decided to spend the $1,750 dollars for this game which just so happened to be homecoming.
Lights were also dedicated at Pleasant Valley in 1967 by their booster club. Their first night game which was also their season opener vs Notre Dame was played Friday, September 15th, 1967. Chuck Bednarik was the guest speaker during the dedication that was held on the previous Saturday night in front of hundreds of fans.
