' *-•> EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR. McHenry sports fans are all aglow after the Warrior hard- earned victory over Rockford Auburn Tuesday night in Sectional play. Rockford Auburn has an aggressive team built around 6'10" Thompson. They had us on the run for a while, but couldn't run with Coach Lud- wig's boys. We heard they play it rough in that Rockford league. Now we believe it. As Ed Datz said, some of those panty-waist fouls are called while jabs in the back go unnoticed. "Radar" Reilly put on a great show with his 27 points and great floor play. His running mate, Tommy Ludwig was also in great form in set­ ting up the scoring and un­ selfishly getting the ball to the open man. Tommy was strong on defense as usual and had to play out the string with four fouls hanging over his head. Steve Koerber got fired up and showed us one of his best games. He's a marked man in every game in the Ludwig pattern of offense. But, he scores! This time Steve combined with Brian Lund on defense to wear down the big man, Thompson, in the last half. This was Brian's biggest assignment of the season and he met the challenge with his best performance. It hurt when the rugged Brett Decker fouled out although he had the job done before he left. Brett is a tower of strength under the boards.

Brian Miller, who will be back next year, gave it his usual dash and added 5 points that looked big at the finish. Bill Hurckes, a fine ball handler did his share when called upon by his coach. We think many teams could have used Bill this year. Competition for guard posts was tough in the Warrior camp. Coach Ludwig, one happy fellow, cleared his bench at the finish to get all of his boys in the box score. The Warriors played it smart with a control game in the last couple of minutes. A great game. Not one for a fan with a weak heart. Now the Warriors meet Rockford Guilford in the finals this Friday evening. A win will send them to the Super- Sectional at DeKalb next week.

A TIME OUT - Coach Ken Ludwig gives his players some words of wisdom as they retain a four point lead over the Knights of Rockford Auburn. The words of the coach were carried out by the players as they increased their lead to nine, winning the sectional game 72-83.

The Warriors will be looking for number nine In a row as they return to Rockford tonight for the sectional championship game. (STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) Warriors gave them the victory they so greatly desired. Brian Lund who played his greatest game as a Warrior got the locals on the board at the 7:30 mark to knot the score at 2 all. For the next six minutes the Warriors continued to play outstanding ball and led at the 1:00 mark 21 to 13, when the big man Thompson hit a couple of 5 footers to pull the Knights to a 21 to 19 deficit at the end of the period. In the second period the Warriors continued to play good ball, but Thompson was getting the easy shot, using his height to great advantage he made several layups and at the «4:45 mark the score was tied at 31. Kelley and Mannerly then hit from the outside and it looked as if the route was on, but Koerber and Miller countered to pull the Warriors within five, although they trailed 42 to 37 at the in­ termission. Midway in the third period, with the Warriors trailing 48 to 43, the "Radar" got on target and in the span of two minutes hit four in a row to knot the score at 51 apiece at the two "minute mark. When you talk of pressure shooting, this was it. Koerber hit a 10 footer, and Reilly countered with two free throws, and at the buzzer Decker's basket put the Warrior on top 57 to 53 a lead they did not relinquish the rest of the game. In the final period it was all Koerber and Reilly for the Warriors in the scoring column, but the rebounding of Lund, Decker and the fine floor play of Tommy Ludwig helped the cause. Koerber's quick five points put the Warriors ahead 62 to 56, and Reilly made two charity tosses for another two, and Koerber likewise stood calmly and put two more free throws much to the disgust of the Auburn rooting section. At the five minute mark the Warriors went into their four corner offense, and it was all over but the shouting. On a dazzling display of speed, Reilly caught the Auburn defense napping and went in for a layup unmolested at 2:15 for a 68 to 61 lead, and the Knight fans began leaving the gym. The Warriors played out the string to the tune of the large McHenry rooting section, and when the final buzzer sounded there was bedlam in the gym as the McHenry fans could contain themselves no longer and well all over the floor. The "Radar" led all scorers with 27 points, Thompson the 6' 10" Auburn center had 21, only 7 coming in the last half, when the Warriors with a sagging defense completely bottled up the big guy. Early in the third period a technical foul was called against Steve Koerber. This was the turning point in the game for the Warriors. The big fellow really got mad, and from that time on he played like an All American, sweeping the boards, and getting the good shots for the basket. He wound up with 20 points and 14 rebounds in the game. Brian Lund's three baskets in the first quarter got the Warrior started, but his rebound in the closing minutes was the biggest one of his life, as he literally went over the rim for the rebound that saved the day. Brett Decker had a tough job, guarding Thompson and until he fouled out in the closing minutes, kept the big boy under wraps the second half. Again Reilly was the spark, give him a chance and you know its two points. His four for four in the third period even had Knight fans wondering what to do to stop him. Tommy Ludwig was all over the court, and the quarterback of the team did an excellent job of getting the offense in high gear. Doug Hertel came off the bench, along with Brian Miller and Billy Hurckes to play just super ball for the Warriors. The Warriors played inspired ball, spurred on by the large following of fans, they didn't let their backers down. Tonight its another tough one at Rockford. Its not too late to get on the bandwagon, lets all get out and support the Warriors, one more win and its SWEET SIXTEEN and on to DeKalb. Nothing wrong with going to DeKalb next Tuesday, lets get out and cheer them on to another win. DOWN BY TWO - Warrior Steve Koerber attempts to shoot over the reach of 6'10" Lester Thompson in the third period of the Rockford sectional. This basket failed, but Steve didn't miss many as he connected for 20 points in the win over Auburn. (STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) SECTIONAL tance.
