' p^ "" J : ' ' £&MW-m »r«S'i-:-' W'$ -• 833"$"" :\\ mi^m •®Wli THE •?:';'3^Sr • y }••«•??;-'-- By: E»rl Witt i Had a real nice letter from the Paul Mandlis with Christmas greeting. Paul wants to &y hello to MCHS students lind boys whom he coached when in our high school a few years back. We saw our Warrior basketball team play Libertyville last Friday night and have little to brag about. It wasn't the same team that beat the highly favored North Chicago five. We talked with several fans after the game and all agreed that our boys looked ragged, lobbed slow passes and failed to come out to meet those passes. , When we said the team looked burned out, one close follower , asked if we didn't know the flu bug had hit the team. NO. Wfe didn't know and haven't asked anybody. Might sound like .all alibi and neither the coach nor the team would want it that way. We d? have a young team that may look like world beatfcrs one game and not so hot the next time out. We'll just go along watching and hoping for better games, libertyville showed us sonic good shooting and was a Wetter team -on this occasion. /Let's get even when we go to their stamping grounds in February. SUDDEN THOUGHT: If each of us would practice common courtesy in driving, there woyld be more joy in this holiday season. It has taken time to get us in" the Christmas spirit this year. Perhaps it has been the lack of snow. Perhaps we forgot that one has to do something for others before he can get that old spirit in his heart. We love to receive Christmas cards and read every one carefully. 7 : Warrior Wrestlers AL SALLUSTIO Pictured above is A1 Sallustio, the Warrior's 138 pound wrestler. A1 has a 4, win, 3 loss record this season. He is a junior and with more experi e n c e a t t h e v a r s i t y l e v e l should develop into a real impressive Warrior on the mat. One of his most impressive victories was a 7 - 3 victory over Louis Richards of North Chicago. Pictured is 145 lb. senior Earl Hansen. Earl is a very strong wrestler and has achieved a 5-2-1 record. He has improved and has not lost1 a.r match in his last five outings. WARRIORS DROP (6-53 6AME TO LIBERTYVILLE, SODA AND EVANS • It is a great time of year to look back on childhood days, then follow through the long memory trail of life. , We love the spirit of Christmas especially because we love everybody, when the spirit hits Us. If we see faults in others through the year, those faults "disintegrate into thin air and we hope others see us in the jsame light. If we have cares and worries, we awaken to the appreciation that God has given •us shoulders to carry; the load. When the spirit hits us, we 'tingle u4'th/t|ie'jingle that fills [the air. • The Warrior quintet lost its fourth conference game of the season to a well drilled Libertyville squad last Friday night on the Warrior home court. The Warriors played on even terms wfth Libertyville during the first and third period. but dropped behind eight points in the second stanza and five in the last. The loss put the Warriors in seventh place, one game ahead of WINLESS Dundee. Ron Pfenning was Libertyvine's big weapon as he totalled IS points for the winners and also played excellent defensive ball. Craig Schwerman helped his team by contributing 12 points. Big guns for the Warriors were Rkh Soda and Tom Evans. Soda collected 11 points and Evans netted 13. The Warriors looked ragged at times and turned the ball over to Libertyville by tossing too many bad passes. Not only did they look poor in the mechanics of the game, Libertyville added to their problems with some good outside shooting and strong rebounding. Libertyville made 29 baskets from the field compared to 18 for the Warriors. McHenry hid a big edge from the charity line tossing in 17 while 8 were m a d e by L i b e r t y v i l l e . B o t h teams demonstrated well balanced scoring. Kilday had 4 points, Reinboldt, had 5, Lossman chalked up 9, and Carstens added 2 to complete the Warrior scoring. For Libertyville, Jones netted 12, Jordan 10, Nutting 2, Mellon 8, and Konefes 2. A n o tfh et Christmas approaches1 and we wish each and every one of you the spiritual joys and peace of mind that this greatest of all birthdays brings into our lives.

Pictured from left to right are A1 Kreimer, Jim Laursen, Coach Mesching, Tony Wagner, and Don Voit. McHenry wrestlers split a pair of matches during the week. They traveled to Grant and . lost 19 - 27, but redeemed themselves against the Tigers of Crystal Lake 33 - 20. McHenry found Grant a rough host as the Warriors met defeat for the second time this year. Terry Morrison and Tom Koleno tied their opponents, Jim Zvonar, Sam Lamont, A1 Sallustio, Earl Hansen, and Tom Dougherty won on decisions. Almost all of the Warrior losses were due to pins which helped Grant pile up such a large score. Jim Zvonar has come along well as the season progressed and won both of his matches t h i s w e e k . A g a i n s t G r a n t , Jim's opponent was M. Pringle. The first period was scoreless as neither boy could get a take down. Starting in the up position, Zvonar lost a point to Pringle as the Grant matrpan escaped for a point. However, in the last period, Zvonar also escaped for a point. Then Pringle got a takedown for two more points and led Zvonar 3-2. After another escape and tieing the score, Zvonar got a take down to win the match 4-3. Jim looked good and hasn't lost a match since ho dropped a decision to Phil Parker of North Chicago. Crystal Lake couldn't match the Warrior strength and lost t o o u r m a t m e n . M c H e n r y looked as though they were going to make a route °of the entire match as the first four Warrior grapplers, Morrison, Hennenberg, Zvonar, and Bamont pinned their opponents. Other Warrior winners were Hansen, Laursen, and Dougherty. Carl Perrino fought to a draw. Tom Dougherty, junior heavy weight, has done a good job for Coach Bill Hutchinson this year. Tom toppled his Crystal Lake opponent 10 - 1. Tom got a take down for two points in the first period then in the final period he reversed his man for two more points. After the reversal, Dougherty almost pinned his man twice for two near falls and 6 more points. Next year, with even more experience, Tcm and the rest of the Warriors should be a potent threat to all opponents. McHenry (19) vs. Grant (27). Morrison (McH) tied Hansen 3-3.

The Blades did all the scoring in the first period. Mike Phalen led the attack with thnee goals. He was assisted by Mike Mecko, Rich Albright, and Dave Wekiel. The Blades put a lot of pressure on the Aces' goalie with 15 attempts at the net. Rich Albright started the Blades' scoring again early in the second period.. Rich flicked the puck from eight feet out for the score. Mike Mecko assisted. After a goal by the aces, John Sawkiw broke away and on a one on one situation beat the aces' goalie for his teams fifth goal. The aces scored again and the period ended 5-2 in favor of the Blades. Due to a defense lap by the Blades, the Aces tallied three times in the last period. However, the Blades also managed a score during the period. Rich Albright assisted Mike Mecko for the score. The final goal belonged to Mecko, this time assisted by Albright. Barrington is the next opponent for the Blades. This should be a good, rough game, making for some action. Admission is free and the game starts at 8 p.m. ST. PATRICK'S DEFEATS LEADING CONTENDER 43-42 St. Pat's won their ninth game by beating a tough Wayside team 43 - 42. In the first quarter the fighting Irish fought their way to a 9 - 6 lead. The second quarter was even closer than the first with only 25 points being scored, 13 by Our Lady of the Wayside and 12 for St. Pat's, so the Irish went in at half-time with a 21-19 lead. In the third quarter St. Pat's started off on the right tract with Blenner scoring 2 points on a fine pass by "Ringelstetter but" the Irish were still outscored 13 - 12, but they were still winning 33- 32 starting the final quarter. The fourth quarter was fought hard by both teams and when the final buzzer sounded it was another victory for the Fighting Irish who now remain in first place all alone. The high scorer for St. Pat's was Blenner - 17, followed by Merkel - 13, LaFontaine - 6, Ringelstetter - 5 and Larkin - 2. The high scorers for Our Lady of The Wayside were Foreman - 14, followed by Cullen - 10, Danis - 5, Monschein - 5, Kirkhan - 4 and Ciaccio - 4. The junior varsity game was fought just as hard as the varsity, going into overtime, but coming out on top was Wayside 22 - 21. Jay Doherty and Tom McAndrews shared high scoring honors with 5 points apiece, followed by Carey - 4, Miller - 4, and Bolton - 3, all for St. Pat's. 0 Outdoors by Jack Walsh The law governing transportation of firearms in autos has been changed.
