A PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 9.1980 Warriors Defeat Streaks 66-53 IT'S ALL IN FUN-but they fought for real. , Ed Hughes of McHenry brings Ron Readel of Woodstock to the mat. Both wrestlers had won their weight classes by forfeits, so to gei into the action, Hughes (167 pound class) and Readel (185 pound class) put on an exhibition where Hughes won by a pin. Hughes is one of the Warrior's leading wrestlers with a 13-2 record* STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Skyhawks Breeze To Easy 67 To 53 J By Dick babbitt Tne<^Fighfing Warriors" ̂ got baclc on the winning * track in the Fox Valley last Friday night when they defeated the Woodstock Blue Streaks 66 to 53 at Wood­ stock. * Playing before a packed house, and Warrior fans were there in large numbers, the Warriors played hill and valley before putting the Streaks away in "t^e final minutes.; \ The game started out slow with neither team doing much in the way of scoring, until midway in the period Jim Johnson's two baskets gave the Warriors a 8 to 4 lead and they increased it to a 14 to 6 advantage at the end of the period. At this time it looked as if the game were going to be a runaway, as the Warriors were playing great ball, and the Streaks were just so-so. After Jensen's basket at 5:30 gave the Warriors a 8 pt^ bulge, and they maintained that margin until the final minutes when the Streaks with a spurt, narrowed the gap to" five at the in­ termission 30 to 25 in favor of the Warriors. In the third frame the Streaks never did get any closer, - however, the Warriors were unable to pull away as both teams had numerous turnovers. The Warriors did, however, increase their lead back to 8, 48 to 40 at the buzzer. Bob Zeller was the spark in the period grabbing 5 baskets during a four minute stretch. The Streaks early in the final period made one last attempt to catch the Warriors, but Jimmy Johnson's basket at 5:15 ignited the Warriors and in the closing minutes the Warriors had a parade to the foul line, making 8 of 9 to insure the win. It just seemed like the Warriors wouldn't let the Streaks off the hook. Several times in the early going it kicked as if the game were about to turn into a rout, but then a misplay. or turnover would turn the tide in favor "of the Streaks. Although Coach Ken Ludwig was happy with the win he mentioned, "We didn't play very con­ sistently". He saidjt all. The Blue Streak gate receipts took a big sum, as Warrior fans were there in full force. It was one of the largest Warrior crowds at an away game that I have seen in several years. The Rowdies were in full force, ^d jU- seems that every game meir number is increasing. Maybe one of these days we can open the upper gym for a game, because of an overflow crowd.
