Minney-Gratz, one of the elite return specialists in all of DII football, sparked the Bald Eagles to victory Saturday at East Stroudsburg, thanks to an 84-yard punt return for a touchdown in the second half. The Bald Eagles won after trailing 14-0 in the first quarter, 17-13 at halftime and 27-13 early in the third quarter. The Minney-Gratz TD return came late in the third quarter as LHU rallied for 31 second-half points. Minney-Gratz's punt return touchdown was the first for Lock Haven since the Bald Eagles recorded a punt return for a TD after a block, back in the 2016 win at East Stroudsburg. Minney-Gratz also caught a TD pass in the fourth quarter and the wide receiver finished with two catches for 45 yards. He scored on a 24 yard catch-and-run pass-play.
