February 10, 1987 - Dave Brown hits a putback as the buzzer sounds to break a tie game and give Jim Thorpe a dramatic 54-52 victory over Bishop Hafey. After the Vikings use a 10-0 run to take the lead late in the fourth quarter, the Olympians’ Scott Lazorick hits two free throws to knot the score. Hafey runs the clock down, but eventually turns the ball over with eight seconds left. John Searfoss puts up a shot that comes up short, but Brown converts to produce the win. Brown ends with a team-high 15 points, while Searfoss, Lazorick and Mark Bennyhoff all end with nine.
