Although as a team the wrestling Warriors placed last owing to two forfeited weight classes, individual successes were what Coach Marty Sobc- zak was looking for and is proud of. Senior Mike Zimmerman, wrestling up a weight class at 185 pounds, decisioned his Mundelein opponent 9-6 in the first round, scored a major decision over his Libertyville foe 10-1 in the second round, and won the class cham­ pionship over Mike Garbe of Crystal Lake by a 5-2 score. Zimmerman now boasts an 18- 5-1 season over-all record. Tom Hughes, another of the four seniors still on the Warrior squad at season's end, claimed a third place medal at 138, winning three out of four matches during the two day tournament. During his win­ ning matches, Hughes allowed his opponents no points, win­ ning by 1-0, 5-0 and 6-0 scores and losing to the second place Seymour of Crown by a low 2-1 score. An impressive 16-4-0 season record has now been compiled by Hughes Fourth place medals were awarded to Warriors Bruce Brda and Junior Rivera. In a tough 112 pound weight class, sophomore Brda pinned his Libertyville opponent in 1:43, lost to champion Adley Parker of North Chicago 11-0, scored a superior 16-2 decision over his Lake Forest opponent and lost to third place winner Randy Delara of Zion-Benton by a 5-2 Dance Lessons AT THE WATERFRONT STAGE 3312 N.

At one time the young Warriors trailed 17 to 3, early in the second period, before a rally brought them to within 6 at halftime 23 to 17. The Warriors blasted the Tigers 14 to 2 in the third period, and outscored their rivals 33 to 13 in the second half for a 50 to 46 victory. Tim Zeller led the attack with 18 pts, and Bob Greve had 14. Mark Schiller and Gary Guetzloff controlled the boards for the Warriors. The Warriors are now 9 and 4 for the season. Booster Club Plans Pancake Breakfast The McHenry high Booster club held its monthly meeting last Thursday at the American Legion hall. Dan Boland, head track coach at McHenry high, spoke on the coming season and explained the various events which number seventeen that he has to cope with this spring. In another money making project, the club decided to hold a Pancake breakfast on Sun­ day, April 2 at the Legion hall. The purpose of the Booster club is to help raise funds to aid the Athletic department at McHenry high school. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.hi. at the American Legion on ftingwood road. All interested fans and parents are cordially, invited to attend these meetings.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Lake Forest Scouts Nip McHenry Warriors 55-54 By Dick Rabbitt Lake Forest high school's basketball team held on in the last seconds to defeat the Warriors here Friday night 55 to 54. The Warriors held a 54 to 51 lead with 2:45 remaining, but the Scouts scored to bring it 54 to 53. With 1:30 remaining a bad pass on the part of the Warriors gave the Scouts possession, but Grab, their leading scorer, committed his fifth foul with 28 seconds left, and once again the Warriors had control of the ball. But fate was not with the Warriors, as after only eight seconds elapsed, a Warrior committed an offensive foul, giving the ball back to the Scouts. Three times in the last fifteen seconds a Scout went to the line, and missed a free throw, and three times the Warriors could not take ad­ vantage of the situation. With seconds remaining on the clock, Scott Dixon drove the length of the floor, and his shot rolled around and off the rim, giving the Scouts the victory. The Scouts jumped off to an early 4 to 0 lead, and it took the Warriors 3:10 before Jeff Partenheimer made two free throws. The Warriors did grab a 14 to 10 lead, but two quick baskets by the Scouts had the teams knotted at 14 all at the buzzer. The second period saw both teams going for the basket, and A1 Reinboldt took command for the Warribrs All that the big fellow did, was to gather in 13 pts and 4 rebounds in the second period, but the Scouts led however 37 to 35. The third period saw the Scouts go into a stall. No reason has been given for the stall, as they were making basket after basket against the Warrior defense Using the four corner offense to almost perfection, the Scouts passed and passed, finally getting three baskets during the period. The Warriors, when they did get their hnads on the ball, made good use of the opportunity and scored 7 pts to trail by one 43 to 42. The last period saw the Warriors finally forge into the lead, until the 2:15 mark and then disaster struck the home team. The Warriors showed some improvement from the game on Tuesday against Crystal Lake. Again the mistakes were too numerous to mention. Their shooting was a mere 38 percent, although they battled ttje Scouts even on the boards. With tournament time just around the corner, the Warriors are going to have to get their act together. Cutting down on the numerous tur­ novers is a must, ana they are going 4o hare to be more patient with their shooting After the Mundelein game last night, there are only five more games left in the regular season.

The top team stretched its lead over second place, but the bottom stayed the same. Guess like water, it sought its level . . .can water run uphill? R. Justen really outdid himself, and everyone else, when he rolled high games of 232-192-242. W. Farrell (188), G. Lofgren (187), and W. Coari (185) did admirably. R. Justen (naturally) had high series with a 666 and W. Farrell was close behind with a 487. It was closer with the women: E. Rogers (193), B. Thompson (185), M. Teuber (184), and J. Hamilton (179). E. Rogers had a great 503 for high series and B. Thompson did well with 492. Everyone on the team helped R. Justen and The Foolers won the pizza. Splits and prizes were easy for B.

Junior Rivera, wrestling 145 pounds for the Warriors, decisioned his Lake Forest opponent 8-1 then lost to second place Devon Buckle of Zion-Benton (who had a 22-0-0 pre-tournament season record) 5-1. In the wrestle back rounds, Rivera won a very tough overtime match against Jim Mack of Crystal Lake 8-6, then lost a difficult 7-0 match to Tate of North Chicago The junior Warrior has a 4-10-1 season record now. Other McHenry wrestlers participating in the conference tournament were Pat Fer- brache. Bill Cheatham, Jeff Musielak, Mark Zizsik, Jeff Hurckes and Marty Nuss. With Barrington finally out of the conference this year, the way was clear for North Chicago to capture the team championship. The Warhawks had seven wrestlers in championship matches but ended up with only three championships. Nevertheless they still showed a 166' 2 point total in comparison with second place Crown which had ex­ pected to take this year's tournament based on their undefeated conference season record but gained only 110 points. This is the last year the wrestling Warriors will be participating in the North Suburban conference tour­ nament Next year will be the first tournament for the newly formed Fox Valley Conference. As this marked the final indoor conference athletic activity for the school year, school banners were returned by host Liber­ tyville to the three teams leaving the conference-Crystal Lake, Crown and McHenry. The first step of the state wrestling tournaments, districts, will be held at Antioch this Friday and Saturday. Again Coach Sobczak will be looking for individual wins and places rather than team scores. The top two wrestlers in each weight class will advance to the sectionals the following weekend at Barrington. Fan buses for Antioch leave from East campus at 6 p.m. Friday and at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. All adult and student fans are welcome to ride the bus and cheer on the wrestling Warriors.

Good Advice If you are wrong, you can't afford to argue and if you are right, what's the use? G8 -Republican, Toronto, EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR That Jim Curran! He phoned to check on my report of Kathy Mercure bowling 170 over her average. Of course. I meant 170 over her series average. But. that wasn't the way our friend Jim interpreted it.

We don't know if our Warrior basketball team is snake bit or where the trouble lies. Anyhow, when you lose so many games by one or two points, it is a revoltin' development.

They hope to stage some matched with everybody en­ tered as a heavyweight, 195 to 203 pounds - and upwards.
