January 21, 1972 Marian builds a lead and then holds off West Hazleton for a narrow 55-54 Anthracite League victory. Wally Yext paces the Colts with 17 points while Joe Balascik and Mike Prekopa each contribute 13. The winners, coached by Bob Fulton, watch a 12-point advantage shrink to two late in the fourth quarter but free throws from Yext and Prekopa help seal the win. Balascik also chips in with 10 rebounds.
