With starters Tim Zeller and Len Jensen both on the bench in the middle of the final period due to fouling out, the Warriors staged a rally, and Bobby Zeller's twenty footer with 21 seconds remaining, put the Warriors in overtime. However, victory was to be denied as the Indians outscored the Warriors 12 to 8 to notch the win. Both teams started out running and gunning, but the ball would not drop through the hoop and with two minutes remaining in the period the Indians led 6 to 5. Action picked up in the final minutes and the score was knotted at the period at 12 apiece. With 6:30 remaining in the second period, the Indians ran off six straight points to jump into a 20 to 14 lead, and the Warriors never did catch up until Zeller's basket in the final seconds. At the intermission the Warriors trailed 29 to 25. In the third period the Warriors had the opportunity to make some headway, but poor shooting and miscues stopped them from going ahead and they trailed by two 39 to 37. The Indians jumped out to a 8 point advantage 47 to 39, but the pesky Warriors stormed back. Jensen and the Zeller boys narrowed the gap to 47-46, but the Indians McDonald coun­ tered with 2 pointer. Bob Zeller's two charity tosses again narrowed the gap, and after Kopkos made a free throw, the time was ripe for Bob Zeller's long one from the corner to send the game into overtime. McDonald and Zeller staged a two man show in the over­ time, but the former hitting the first 9 points for the Indians to get the better of the deal, and the Warriors went down to a 64 to 60 defeat that ended their season. It was not a well played ball game, miscues on the part of both teams, the Warriors were not up to par on their shooting. The officials played a big part in the game tooting the whistle for 50 fouls, 28 on the Warriors. The team came a long way this season. Starting out with no lettermen, they were a young and inexperienced ball club. They matured to some ex­ tent, and gave the fans some thrilling moments. They gave their best, and that is all we can ask of them. Woodstock will play Hononegah tonight for the championship, and the right to enter the Rockford Sectional next week.

The loss ends McHenry's season. Thomas scored ten points in the game. Bob Zeller (31) paced the locals with 20 points, including a shot that sent the game into overtime after the Warriors had rallied from an eight-point deficit in the final period. Hononegah outscored the Warriors 12-8 in the extra session for the win. Freshman Dirk Andreas, a graduate of Marian Central last year, is on the varsity baseball squad roster at Carthage college for the 1979 season. Andreas, who is listed on the roster as an outfielder, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Duane Andreas, who reside at 3920 Hillcrest. Carthage opens its season March 17, when it begins its annual southern trip during the school's spring vacation. The Redmen will play eight doubleheaders vs. colleges and university baseball teams in Texas. Oklahoma and Illinois during the trip, before retur­ ning home to open the College conference of Illinois and Wisonsin baseball season at Wheaton April 7. Andreas is one of 43 members to try out for the team, which has 15 lettermen returning. It's strictly a rebuilding year for Coach Augie Schmidt's Redmen, who dipped to a 9-17 record last spring. The 1978 campaign was the first year since 1964 Carthage failed to win ten games in a season. On The Sidelines By Dick Rabbitt March madness is upon us. For the next several weeks the only talk in the high schools around the state will be the state finals, who will be there?, and who will be the winner. Local interest has picked up, with the Skyhawks in the sectional, and the Warriors beginning play in the regional. Warrior and Skyhawk fans alike are wishing both teams the best of luck. Grumbling is already being heard in downsate Illinois, on the way the games are being played. The Chicago winner will have nine days rest, to prepare for their first game in the Assembly Hall. Whereby the downstate teams will play in the Super-Sectional on Tuesday and then head for Champaign for a game on Friday. In years gone by this was not the case. Both the downstate teams and the Chicago winner played on the same day, giving both an equal chance for the title. Two complaints that are being heard are, the Chicago winner will be able to scout the downstate sectional and super-sectional of their first opponent, several times, and that any injuries to a Chicago player, he Will be given the additional days of rest. I personally feel that the complaint is justified, no one team or area should be given an advantage in the manner of scheduling of the state series of games. Nothing will come of it this season, but I'll bet next year the change will be made so that all teams will play on the same day, to qualify for the finals at Champaign. With the growth and size of the schools in the Chicago area, I think it is time to add a third class to the basketball finals. The gap from 750 to 3,000 to 4,000 enrollments is too great for some of the schools. Schools in the fringe area of Chicago, namely the Fox Valley Conference, the schools in Central Illinois, and schools in Southern Illinois with enrollments under 2,000 really don't stand a chance to get to Champaign. There will be exceptional years when a team of that size will qualify. I don't know where the breakoff should be, but surely the I.H.S.A. could come up with a solution. Just look what the class sytem has done for football. With the five classes, interest has increased, the gate receipts are out of sight, more schools have a chance to be a state champ, and the coaches and players are delighted. Wisconsin has three classes, and Beloit Catholic who finished in the middle of the pack in the Shark Conference recently placed second in the state in their class. Although the interest at this time of year is great, think what it would be when another group of schools could aim for the state championship in a class that they could compete without feeling outclassed. Kaneland with an enrollment of just over the 750 breakoff point has to compete with Elgin Larkin, the Aurora schools etc. No way that they can compete year after year in that caliber of competition. My contention is break it up any way you want, but make at least three classes, instead of the present two classes for the state championship. Congratulations to Tim Zeller on being selected to the Fox Valley Conference team. Tim is in good company. Although I was at the meeting, don't agree with some of the selections, but the coaches didn't ask me to vote, so had to save my comments for this column. Tomorrow morning the coaches of the girls basketball teams in the Fox Valley will meet to make their selections. They will be made known next week. , S.I.H. is down in Florida helping the White Sox. Hope they let him in on the trades if they make one or two in the next few weeks. You can bet hie will have some wild stoires to tell when he comes back in a couple of weeks. Anyway we hope he doesn't get a sunburnt and has an enjoyable time. Len Jensen of McHenry looks for someone to pass to as Hononegah's zone defense appears to have everything bottled up. Hononegah defeated McHenry 64-60 in overtime in the Belvidere Class AA regional. Jensen scored eight points before fouling out in the fourth quarter. Tim Zeller (33) who also fouled out in the middle of the last quarter, finished the game with 12 points. Hononegah now plays Woodstock Friday night for the regional championship.

McHenry School League Palace Bowl 2-28-79 While waiting to see how March came in . . .lion or 1am- b...and the beginning Lent, we find some who really celebrated and some who gave up bowling as their sacrifice. The team standings are really getting close between fifth and eleventh place, and with just two weeks of regular bowling and then position, it is really fair game in the middle. Some of the better male bowlers were: R. Justen, 212 and 205 - 588; R. Homo, 185-513; D. Seaton, 178-477; R. Wiedemann, 169-490; W. Farrell, 168-494; B. Street, 161- 453; and P. Hoover, 171. Good bowling was not limited to the men as these women came thru quite well: E. Rogers, 186-499; B. Bitterman, 187-469; P Steinmetz, 185-462; S. Blume, 166-456; R. Justen, 177-455; and Mama Miller, 159- 460. Splits were easy for M. Kangas (4-7-10), L. Homo (2-7- 10), R. Justen (5-7-9), and C. Buittner (1-3-5-10). The real winner of the week was B. Novak who will have to have a 399 series next week as she bowled 20 pins below average each game. T H E S T R U G G L E R S "struggled" and won the pizza for next week.
