December 27, 1979 — Phil Zuber’s driving basket with one second to play breaks a tie and lifts Panther Valley to a 49-47 victory over Tamaqua in the PV-Tamaqua Officials Basketball Tournament. With the two teams knotted and five seconds showing on the clock, Ed Shubeck fires an inbounds pass the length of the floor to Zuber, who goes in for the winning bucket. Zuber finishes with a double-double, scoring 23 points while pulling down 14 rebounds. Gary Barna ends with 15 points and eight boards. The Raiders receive a team-high 15 points from Dan Smith.
