The Hawks were trailing at half 13-24, but as soon the second half started rolling all the momentum was in their favor. Three unanswered touchdowns put the Hawks up, but the Vikings created a few turnovers at the end of the 4th quarter to put themselves in position to try and make a comeback; with just 2 minutes left Quarterback Patrick Cahill threw a deep bomb to Jonathan Bechtel to put the game at 34-31. Bethlehem recovered onside kick but were soon stopped on 4th down to give the ball back to the Vikings with just under a minute left, but Allentown CC\u2019s comeback hopes were short lived as a sack followed up by a fumble secured the game for the Hawks. Bethlehem Catholic will take on Southern Lehigh next Thursday in the championship game.<\/p>\n<p>Follow PA Football News on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pafootballnews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">@PaFootballNews<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tagged under: District 11, Game Photos-Videos, Gameday Hub, News, pfn, Playoffs Jordan Gillis | November 7, 2025 Bethlehem&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27958,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[153,155,154],"class_list":["post-27957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
