A look back at Lehigh Valley sports stories over the years from April 13.
2000: Panther Valley senior Lacey Gonzalez is named to the AP’s Small School basketball all-state second team. Pius X’s Steph Merlo, who broke Michelle Marciniak’s area freshman scoring record by averaging 22.8 points a game, is named to the fifth team.
1990: Central Catholic junior Michelle Marciniak is named the state’s player of the year by USA Today, which also places her on the first team of its AllAmerican squad. A day later, Marciniak is named a firstteam all-state selection on the Pennsylvania Girls Basketball Coaches team.
1986: Electing to run the final 40 laps without a stop, Nazareth’s Michael Andretti holds off Al Unser by .38 of a second to win the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach and capture his first career Indycar victory. Andretti, who turns 24 in six days, earns $94,546 for the win and keeps the trophy in Andretti hands — his father, Mario, who finished fifth, won the previous two Long Beach races.
1969: Future Big 5 stars
Mike Bantam (23 points, 12 rebounds) and Craig Littlepage (11 points, 11 rebounds) lead East Penn to an 82-72 win over New York City and the championship of the 10th Allentown Jaycees Schoolboy Basketball Classic at Rockne Hall. Future pro stars Brian Taylor and Ernie DiGregorio, along with future pro coach George Karl and Ohio State AllAmerican Luke Witte, also take part in the classic, which draws small crowds over its three days and leads to speculation that the tournament might move to another city in 1970. 1959: The Eastern Pennsylvania Scholastic Basketball League tables applications from Phillipsburg and Notre Dame for membership to the league, which will add its seventh member — Dieruff — for the 1959-60 season. League officials are concerned that in the event the two proposed members and Central Catholic finish a season as the league’s top three teams, the EPL would be represented in the District 11 Class A tournament by its fourth-place team.
