PAGE • - PLAINDEALERFRIDAY. MARCH S. 1976 Warriors Swamp Hononegah Indians, In Finals Tonight By Dick Rabbitt Coach Ken Lud wig's McHenry High Warriors ad­ vanced to the finals of their own regional tournament with a victory over HonOnegah, 94 to 60. It was simply a mismatch between the Indians and the Warriors. The highly favored Warriors started the scoring when the "Radar" at 6:30 hit a 15 footer, and they never trailed thereafter. Leading 10 to 6, the Warrior hit a cold spell, but with 1:15 remaining two baskets by Ludwig, followed by baskets by Hertel and Reilly had the Warriors on top at the end of the period 18 to 8. In the second period the Wfcrrior machine began to roll. With the famous press, and the rebounding1 of Koerber and Decker, along with Brian Miller, the fast break (bund the Indians left standing at the tepee. The Warriors romped and played to a 42-30 halftime margin. Only lapses in the Warrior defense let the Indians stay within so-called striking distance by the time the teams went to the locker room. In the third period the Warriors defense began to tell on the outmanned Indians. Going without a basket for the first five minutes of the period, the Indians were a confused ball club, as the Warriors rebounded and shot with almost perfection. At the 2:45 mark Reilly hit Lund with one of his famous passes that brought the crowd to its feet and a 54 to 34 margin, that increased a 65 to 40 going into the final period. In the final period Coach Ludwig used his bench and they came through with flying colors. (Christy started the scoring with a 15 footer, and Hurckes followed suit with one from the baseline. Eager to show their stuff before the large following of Warrior fans, they did not let up and hustled and scrapped to the end. Billy Meyers, senior reserve, hit a 20 footer from the top of the key, VARSITY „ MCHENRY 18 24 23 29 »4 ii "'V* ' HONONEGAH 8 22 10 20 60 MCHENRY (94) FG FT PF TP Koerber 9 0 4 18 HONONEGAH (60) Decker 0 4 1 4 FG FT PF TP Lund 2 0 3 4 .

For the second time in the last six years the Wayne's Lanes team has captured the McHenry County Bowling Association tournament. Their 3,118 score bowled on games of 977, 1,114, 1,027 in­ cluding handicap was 18 pins above the Werner team from Island Lake. The Werners finished second with a 3,100 score.

All in all the 12 man squad all came through in the scoring column, and it was a happy group of Warriors at the final horn. In talking with Coach Ludwig after the game he commented "It was tough for the boys to get up for the undermanned In­ dians". I agree with him. Playing a school you are ex­ pected to beat easy, makes it tough on the coach to get his players ready. You can bet that they will be ready tonight for either Woodstock or Belvidere. Let's get out and support this fine team. BASEBALL MEETING Len Spencer, president of the Wonder Lake Boys baseball league, announces a meeting of all Major and Minor League managers, board members, officers and all interested parents, to be held March 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the eastside firehouse, Wonder Lake. Notice Sports Pictures Since previous notices (starting last fall) have not been noted, this will be run from time to time. Being unable to use the many group pictures sent in, a decision was made to discontinue all league groups except cham­ pionship teams. Pictures taken by our staff photographers of athletes on the high school level will be selected as to their importance. Individual pictures of various sports will be appraised as to their newsworthy value and available space. It was a flood of group pictures last year that made this decision by the management necessary. 184 - 508; V. Steege 168 - 493; C. Kern 194 - 487; V. Brzenk 171 - 482; J. Grischeau 168 - 471; K.

P.S. Blackout - Before the gals started bowling there was a complete blackout and for a second we all thought we were in New York, and what a relief when the light went on again. What a weird feeling that was, and not a man in the place. HA HA HA.

(STAFF PHOTO) EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR Being out of circulation for a while has required sorting through a stack of new releases. A lot of paper is wasted. Anyhow, let's try to pick up the pieces. Our special nurse has had the added duties of running copy between the Plaindealer and home in order to put together a sport page. BOAT SHOW-- McHenry being a boating center, we presume many local enthusiasts will attend the 7th Annual Midwest Boat Show, March 5-14, at the Arlington Park Race Track convention Center. Local dealers will be there to answer questions. LAKELAND PARK LITTLE LEAGUE - Trust you boys and girls, ages 8-12, saw previous notice. Register March 13-14 if you want to play. C.O.F. BASKETBALL- McHenry Foresters will again sponsor the state basketball tournament, star­ ting March 14 at West Campus. Teams and followers come from near and far for this exciting entertainment. HORICON-- Goose use of the vast Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin has reached such proportions that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Wisconsin Natural Resources are studying ways to reduce the numbers. "Reducing the peak con­ centration -- ' not the population" seems to be the aim. Many people from this area have driven up to see the sight of thousands of those big honkers swooping in from Canada. RELEASES -- Several small colleges, some large, send out press releases each week from their athletic departments. It they don't include a name from our area, it hardly seems they would stir up much reader interest. We do want news about former local athletes and have that cozy little section called ATHLETES AWAY for such items. % Rain, fog, dreary -- this weather must be discouraging even for a duck. An impatient child asked his dad, "Will we have to wait much longer for Mother to come out of the shoestore?" "No," said the father. "They've just taken the last pair of shoes out of the win­ dow." Where but in the United States could overpaid comedians make fun of our President on TV programs? At least the President ought to have equal time. Seems funny. Winkel has his garden seeds. Our shipment hasn't arrived. Never a doubt as our Warriors swept to a 94-60 win over Hononegah Tuesday night in the Regional tournament here. The visitors trailed by only 12 points at the half. Then came the avalanche even with the first string Warriors on the bench. Those McHenry subs came to play. Seems like some fans forgot the tournament games start at 7:30, or else they couldn't make it on time. The gym filled real good as the game progressed. Now for the finals Friday night. Let's put it away, fellows.
