December 22, 1973 - Rich Reis comes up with some key plays down the stretch to help Jim Thorpe gain a narrow 53-51 victory over Weatherly. Reis tips in a missed shot with just under a minute to play to give the Olympians, coached by Randy Rabenold, a one-point lead. He then rebounds a missed Wrecker shot at the other end before getting fouled and making a free throw with 17 seconds to play. Reis finishes with 15 points, while teammate Billy Juracka ends with a game-high 19. The winners also receive 11 points from Charlie McGuire.
