December 23, 1989 — A fourth-quarter rally allows Marian to pull out a 63-60 victory over host Minersville. The Colts trail by nine points after the first quarter and by four entering the final frame, but Jamie Whalen’s five points early in the period forces a tie. After the Miners gain their last lead with 2:47 to play, Mike Makovec and Joe Marsilio both connect from the field to put Marian, coached by Sid Llera, in front to stay. Makovec adds another basket and Marsilio hits two free throws with 14 seconds to play to seal the victory. Marsilio ends with a game-high 20 points, while Makovec adds 13. Mark Coassolo contributes 12, with Whalen chipping in with 10.
