A look back at Lehigh Valley sports stories over the years from Feb. 15.

2002: Adam Lane scores 25 points and grabs nine rebounds to help Parkland finish the regular season unbeaten (25-0) after a 63-57 win over Pocono Mountain in the Mountain Valley Conference championship game.

2002: Needing to win the East Penn Conference title to qualify for the District 11 playoff, Allen does just that, capturing its 24th league title and the final one in the conference’s 77-year history by beating Bethlehem Catholic 48-43. Ray Barbosa scores 22 points for the Canaries, who enter district play with an 11-13 record.

1986: Phillipsburg snaps a 21-game boys basketball losing streak with a 57-43 win at Freedom.

1986: Whitehall (23-1) completes a perfect 22-0 girls basketball regular season in the East Penn Conference with a 39-32 win over Central Catholic. 1977: Northwestern wins its first girls basketball championship when Kathy Hughes’ three-point play with a minute left lifts the Tigers (19-2, 16-0) to a 49-48 Centennial League victory over Palmerton.

1967: Coached by Lafayette grad Pete Carril, Lehigh (10-7) snaps a seven-game losing streak to the Leopards, ties its biggest margin of victory in the rivalry, and reaches the 10-win plateau for the first time since the 1954-55 season with a 6037 men’s basketball victory. 1966: Notre Dame (14-3) edges Central Catholic (4-14) 59-58 for the Crusaders’ first win over the Vikings in their nine-year history.

1966: In only his 46th varsity game, senior Tom Superka joins Larry Miller in Catasauqua’s 1,000-point club, scoring 19 points to up his career total to 1,011 in a 91-63 win over Emmaus. 1962: The Limeport Athletic Association confirms that Limeport Stadium, built in 1935 for $35,000, is for sale. If sold, the stadium, which helped the small southern Lehigh County village earn the nickname as

“the Biggest Little Baseball Town in America,” would likely be cut up for building lots.
