February 25, 1969 - Bob McMichael scores a game-high 17 points as Panther Valley clinches the North Schuylkill League second half title with a 50-49 victory over Saint Clair in a tiebreaking playoff game. McMichael hits three straight field goals midway through the fourth quarter to turn a narrow one-point lead into a seven-point advantage. PV’s lead shrinks down the stretch but a free throw by Bob Polinsky with 38 seconds remaining proves to be the difference. Joe Dietz finishes with 13 points for the winners, coached by John Harkins, while Polinsky chips in with nine.
