One of the greatest shooters in Montgomery County basketball history was a blond-headed whiz kid from little Alamo High School . . . Lawrence Reath, Jr. . . . known to everyone as "Whitey." When the county's leading scorer, Alamo's great Charlie Bowerman, graduated in 1957 and headed to Wabash College, Whitey took over right where Charlie left off. As a 5'11" forward on the Warrior team, Whitey led the county in scoring during both his junior and senior years. In 1957-58, the Alamo bomber poured through 440 points for a fine 23.1 average, and was named as the team's MVP. Many of you might recall that this was the year that Alamo almost knocked off the mighty Crawfordsville Athenian team during the Sectional tourney. The Athenians won the game in overtime 64 to 62 on a last second shot by Joe Krutzch . . . and subsequently won the tourney . . . and proceeded on through the other rounds to become state runnerup in the IHSAA finals!
