P \r,E fi PLAIXPKALER - WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22,1S80 Neiss, Wickman Pace Skyhawks Rick Neiss hauled in two, touchdown passes of 27 and 17 yards, and Doug Wickman scampered for seven and one-yard touchdown runs as the Johnsburg offense hammered South Beloit last Saturday, 33-6 at home. Although five fumbles and three interceptions infested the Johnsburg offense, it didn't stop Skyhawk quarterback Scott Valentin from completing nine of 18 passes for 140 yards and three touchdowns. Doug Wickman has his best performance to date with 97 yards in 15 carries and two touchdowns. The Johnsburg attack had early opportunity after forcing a Beloit punt on its first possession. From his own 37, Valentin unleashed his first pass of the day to Phil Kalsch for 15 yards to the Beloit 36. Alex Bingman recovered his own fumble and Valentin kept for 1 yard before a personal foul call moved the ball down to the Beloit 15. Runs by Bingman and Wickman moved the ball to the one yard line when coach Bob Schmitt implemented a new offense. On third and fourth down, Valentin tried to connect with Neiss in the endzone and South Beloit took over on the one as the overload offense proved fruitless. Schmitt explained, "We are using a new overload passing offense from the 10 yard line which incorporates four pass patterns for each of three receivers. The flooded-zone offense has 12 different looks to it." At the one, South Beloit fumbled the ball on second down and Pat "Rocky " Rorig came up with the ball at the seven.

Rob Schmidt kicked the extra point and the Skyhawks took the lead at 3:42 of the first quarter. After a Beloit fumble, a Johnsburg interception by Dave Brenner to cut off a South Beloit rally, a Scott Valentin fumble i and a Beloit interception, Johnsburg took a punt at its own 31 and proceeded to score with 40 seconds left in the half. A personal foul call moved the ball from the 31 to the 46, when Bingman carried twice for five yards and a pass to Neiss at the 43 resulted in a first down. Valentin ran for four yards, Rorig collected three and Doug Wickman came up one foot short of the first on a third down surge. Valentin kept again on fourth down and moved the ball through a big hole down to the Beloit 27, before unleashing a 27 yard toss to Niess who grabbed the ball away from the defender for the 13-0 lead. The extra point was wide and the half ended at 13-0. The third quarter was entertaining, but proved futile for both teams as Valentin was intercepted, Beloit recovered a Skyhawk fumble, Paul Smith of Johnsburg hauled in an interception and Moulis fumbled on his own 15 yard line. "We won big, but I'm still not pleased with my offense," Schmitt admitted. "Three interceptions and five fumbles is not good football. It's hard to cure bad habits that the seniors have had for four years and I'm running out of remedies such as ball-handling drills." Johnsburg took over early in the fourth quarter and finally converted it into its third touchdown of the day. Wickman took a short punt to the Beloit 37. After an incomplete pass, Rorig ran for three yards and Rob Schmidt took a reverse to the 17 yard line for a first down. Neiss then caught his second touchdown pass of the day to the right side of the end zone and Rorig jammed his way through for two extra points as Johnsburg extended the lead to 21-0 at the 10:24 mark of the final stanza. Again, Johnsburg scored at the 7:00 mark on a 15-yard pass to Rob Schmidt and the extra point snap was high which kept the score at 27-0. Beloit South punted after three plays, Johnsburg fumbled to Beloit and Scott Zalke intercepted a third-down South Beloit pass at the 41 of Johnsburg to set up the fifth and final Johnsburg touchdown. On first down, Wickman picked up 25 yards on a good romp before Phil Kalsch caught his second pass of the game, a 29- yard toss over his head to the five yard line. Moulis'then ran four yards to the one before Wickman dove for one yard and the touchdown at the 1:47 mark. Neiss booted the extra point and thoughts of a shutout lingered in the minds of the Skyhawk defense. South Beloit had other ideas, however, as they took the kick at their own 45. John Davis took first down mail to the Johnsburg 38 on a 17- yard surge. Pat Rorig then tipped a first-down pass into the air and Tommie Thornton grabbed the ball and ran in for the score with only 22 seconds remaining in the game. The extra point was wide and low and Johnsburg ran its record to 2-3 in the Shark conference and 3-4 overall with the 33-6 win. For the 0-4 South Beloit team, Tommie Thornton caught 9 of Beloits 25 pass attempts for 105 yards, as 19 of the 25 passes were directed his way. For Johnsburg, Neiss caught four passes for 62 yards, Kalsch grabbed 2 for 41 yards, Rorig had one for four yards and Rob Schmitt caught 1 for 15 yards. Behind Wickman's 97 yards rushing, Alex Bingman ran 10 times for 35 yards, Moulis, five times for 26 yards, and Neiss carried once for 15 yards. Rorig had six yards in 2 carries while Pete Barroso had 14 yards in two carries. The Skyhawks did accumulate 17 first downs despite the numerous turnovers, while South Beloit gathered 10 first downs. Johnsburg will travel to Salem Central next Friday. Joel Wakitsch RICK NEISS--reaches high in the air to snare this pass for a 17 yard touchdown in the early goings of the fourth quarter. Neiss (84) took this pass away from defensive back George Harris of South Beloit, who the Johnsburg Skyhawks handily defeated Saturday at home, 33-6. Niess caught four Scott Valentin passes on the day for a total of 62 yards and two touchdowns. STAFF PHOTO-JOEL WAKITSCH Warriors Falter, 3-0 Coach Joe Schlender's McHenry Warriors lost a heartbreaker to the Tigers of Crystal Lake Friday night by the score of 3-0. A fourth quarter field goal by Jim Ratzer with 7:10 remaining spelled the defeat for the local team. Earlier in the game the Warriors had the golden opportunity to score, with a first and goal from the four yard line, but the Tiger defense held, and late in the game the Warriors were again pounding on the door, when a pass interception snuffed out a march at the goal line. It was a typical ball game whereby both teams had an outstanding defense and although both teams had an explosive offense, they were shut out by the opponents, except for the fourth period's 32-yard field goal by Ratzer. After the Warriors received the initial kickoff, both teams struggled during the first period as the defenses prevailed with some hard knocking, and both teams punted twice, as neither team could generate a march of any kind toward the opponent's goal line. Much of the same took place during the second period, when late in the second period a Crystal Lake punt travelled 10 yards to their own 22. It looked like the Warriors were in command at this time. Belzer found Dave D'Angelo open and completed a pass on the Tiger five yard line. It was at this time the Tiger defense has to be commended. In the next four plays, Rob Kalck, Warrior tailback cracked the line, and wound up six inches short of the goal line and a Warrior lead. The Tigers in two plays ran out the clock and the half ended scoreless. To the fans who questioned the call of Coach Schlender in giving Kalck the ball on the four plays, he added after the game. "You go with your best back, behind your best lineman". In the third period, the Tigers taking the kickoff on their own 18, marched to the Warrior 25, where the Warriors took over, and Kalck's run to the 46 gave the Warriors excellent field position. However, after another first down, the Warriors were forced to punt, and the Tigers took over on their own 21. They started a march with John Simon and Scott Overby carrying the mail and marched to the Warrior five as the period ended, with the game still scoreless. On the first play of the final period, Jeff McNish hit the ball carrier, and Sean Haley recovered the Tiger fumble on the Warrior nine. The Tiger defense again held and a Warrior punt was downed on the 32. Simon raced off tackle to the Warrior 20. The Warrior defense was again called to the task, and responded for three downs, but then Jim Ratzer kicked a 32 yd. field goal to put the Tigers ahead 3 to 0 with 7:10 remaining in the game. A side note is that the play prior to the field goal, along with the field goal, for once during the evening, the flag dropped around the pole. To clarify this, it was quite a windy night at McCracken field. The Tiger kickoff went out of bounds and the Warriors had the ball on their own 40. Then Keith Belzer, who is proving to a lot of people that he is quite a quarterback, connected on four straight passes, three to Dave D'Angelo and one to Tim Klapperich, that put the ball on the Tiger eleven. A pass interference penalty gave the Warriors a first down on the 7, Kalck got to the five, and then a great interception by defensive back Matt Quinncy snuffed out a Warrior touchdown when he dove and caught it at his bootstraps in the endzone. Taking the ball on their own 20, the Tigers in four plays ran out the clock for a win. For you fans who sat home to wateh the World Series, you missed a good high school football game. It was a battle of the defenses, and although the Warriors lost the game 3 to 0, there is still many who attended will say "the best team didn't win". Rob Kalck and John Doessel although listed as halfbacks played splendid defense. Playing a good game was linebacker Kevin Lavin, who made tackle after tackle. Jack Jablonski, Jeff McNish, Mark Schiller, Dan Freund, Vic Betancourt, Scott Schmitt, Pete Ritthaler, Sean Haley, Tim Klapperich played a good game, along with the punter Kelly Garnter. Next week the Warriors face Jacobs in the last game of the season. The World Series should be over and a lot of fans should be expected at McCracken field. I
