STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Warriors Take Two, Second In Fox Valley The McHenry Warriors vaulted into second place in the Fox Valley with a pair of wins over the weekend. On Friday night, they defeated Cary Grove 69-58, and on Saturday night they avenged an earlier defeat when they stunned the Golden Eagles of Jacobs 70-57. The hustling Warriors have now won six in a row to bring their seasons record to 12 and 6, while Crown continues to lead the Fox Valley with a conference record of 9 and 0, and 18andlonthe season. On Friday night, one would not have known that the Trojans were winless in the conference as they battled the Warriors throughout the first eight minutes to a 18-18 standoff. The Warriors had grabbed a 10-6 lead midway into the period but the pesky Trojans came roaring back, and defense was not one of the Warrior virtues during the first period. The teams matched basket for basket in the second period, until the Trojans found themselves with a four-point spread, 32-28 with 1:45 remaining. Then lightning struck the Trojan gym, and the Warriors went on a scoring spree.

Although the Skyhawks lost <6-62 to the Indians, Jakubicek had a good night, scoring 15 points. STAFF PHOTO-JOEL WAKITSCH 'Hawks In a closer game than the 86-62 dumping that John­ sburg suffered in December, the Hononegah Indians again beat the Skyhawks Friday, 66-64 to give the locals their third straight Shark Conference defeat. Four players from both teams scored in double figures, but it was a case of no two players getting hot at the same time for John­ sburg. Frank Jakubicek had the early sharp shooting, hitting 5 of 7 in the first half, mostly outside stuff. He also hit the only Johnsburg free throw of the half to record 11 points to lead the locals. Tom Pieper was 4 of 6 for 8 points in the first half in helping the Skyhawks take a 33-29 lead into the locker room at the intermission. Johnsburg started the with Rick Neiss and but Hononegah made 4 of the next 5 bucket with three of them coming from 6' 3" Brown Jakubicek hit a 20-footer from the corner to knot the at 8-8 and Tom Pieper other long one to keep pace with another Jim Brown bucket, but Hononegah went on to score five unanswered points on a Jeff Clemmons three-point play and play evened out with the Indians on top, 19-14 going into the second quarter. Johnsburg came back the second period, outscoring Hononegah, 19-10. After Jay Clemmons hit a 25-footer to start the period, Jeff Bart- mann hit a short one then Tom Pieper converted a steal and Johnsburg was down by 3 with a Hononegah time out at 6:55 of the period. Hononegah went on to miss three shots in a row and Johnsburg took the lead. 28- 27 on three buckets in a row. Neiss hit two bombs and Pieper hit an 18-footer. Frank Jakubicek followed two more Indian miscues in converting a three-point play Third Straight * TAKE THIS AD WITH YOU! IT'S YOUR INVITATION TO SAVE! and Hononegah finished the quarter with two free throws, cutting the John­ sburg lead to 4 at halftime. The Indians were on the warpath in the third stanza, however, tying the score at 35 at the 5:07 mark as Jim Brown (6 of 6 the first half) continued his hot shooting. The lead changed hand twice in the next three minutes with Jakubicek keeping Johnsburg in the game with 2 buckets. The Skyhawks took a three point lead as Rusty Beck nit a 20 footer from the right side, but Bob Anderson hit a layup in heavy traffic at the buzzer to cut Johnsburg's lead to one, 48-47. Tom Eicher was fouled on a drive to start the last quarter and sank two free throws to give Hononegah a one-point, 49-48 lead. Johnsburg would never again lead in the contest. The Indians went on to hit three buckets in a row, before Pieper would hit a 22- footer to bring Johnsburg within five. The Indians extended their lead to 7 before Johnsburg started their final surge. Johnsburg scored eight of the next 10 points and when Pieper hit two free throws with 2:20 remaining in the game, Johnsburg was within one, 61-60. Jay Clemmons, a 5'10" senior, did the most damage from here on out. He hit a picture-perfect drive off the first [day following the In­ dian timeout. He then hit two free throws after Rick Neiss was forced to foul him at 1:01 with time running out. Jeff Bartmann, hitting buckets when they were needed all night, put in a 12- footer from out in front to pull Johnsburg within three at 65-62.' Hononegah again tried the four comer stall and Rick Neiss made about his only good move of the day on a brilliant acting job which caused a charging call on Jay Clemmons. With 39 seconds left, Johnsburg had a chance to come back, but the Indians played it smart and clogged the middle. This forced Rick Neiss to take a 28-footer which missed, much like most of his shots all day. Steve Swanson pulled Warriors the lead, and Bryniarski, Costigan and Joe Bauml all hit the hoop. Bauml's bucket came with two seconds remaining to give the Warriors a 41-32 margin at the intermission. Bob Greve's three baskets along with Bob Bryniarski's bucket kept the Warrior scoring intact as they ran off 21 unanswered points for a 49-32 lead at the halfway point in the period. Things cooled off, however, and the Warriors led 55 to 38 going into the final period. In the final quarter Ludwig went to the bench and the Trojans closed the gap to 11, but that was as close as they came. down the defensive rebound for Hononegah and forced Tom Pieper to foul him with 31 seconds left on the clock. Again, Johnsburg had a chance when Swanson missed his charity toss, but the rebound glanced off Chuck Novy's hands and fell out of bounds to the Indians. Hononegah again called time. With 22 seconds left, Johnsburg put on a brilliant trapping press and forced a turnover into the hands of Frank Jakubicek. The big Skyhawk center rushed his p a s s , h o w e v e r , a n d J i m Brown was there to intercept the pass and draw another Rick Neiss foul. Brown hit one of two free throws and the game was all but over at 66-62. To end a miserable day, Russ Beck travelled in the lane with five seconds left and Pieper missed a long one at the buzzer as Johnsburg dropped its conference record to 4-5 and overall mark to 12-9. Hononegah played a smart ball game, letting Johnsburg take its low percentage outside shots then getting set for the bound underneath. Rick Neiss shot poorly, hitting only 7 of 18 shots and failing to follow up his long ones. Eight of Neiss's errant shots came from more than 15 feet out, and 4 of those were more than 20 feet. He did lead Johnsburg with 15 points however, but Jakubicek also scored 15 on 7 of 11 shots and Tom Pieper hit 6 of 11 for 14 points. Jeff Bartmann played a con­ sistent game, hitting 4 of 6 "and two clutch free throws late in the game to put in 10. Hononegah shot 55 per cent from the field with Jim Brown leading all scorers with 17 on 8 of 9 from the field and 1 of 2 on the line. Jeff Clemmons had 13 on a 6 of 12 day, while brother Jay Clemmons put in 12 on 5 of 13. The Skyhawks will take a breather from conference action on Tuesday, travelling to Jacobs, but then play South Beloit away on Friday. The Sobos were no match for Johnsburg earlier in the season, faUing to the Skyhawks, 76-58 on 31 points by Rick Neiss.

Bob Bryniarski hit two baskets, and Zeller, Greve and Costigan also hit as the Warriors jumped out to a quick 104 lead with 4:30 remaining, Bob Zeller slam dunked on a breakaway that brought the student cherring section to its feet in a standing ovation. Seconds later, Bob Greve's 15-footer gave the Warriors a 14-4 lead, and it looked as if the Warriors would run the Golden Eagles back to Randall Road. The Warriors became careless, however, and Ken Slimco's crew narrowed the margin to 3 at the period, 16-13. In the early going of the second period, the Eagles grabbed a short 21:20 lead, but Bryniarski's basket from the corner put the Warriors ahead 22-21 and that was tbeclosest the Eagles came the rest of the evening. Zeller and Greve along with Dave Smith hit the hoop and the Warriors led at halftime 34-29. After a good old fashioned chewing out at halftime, the Warriors came back to the floor ready to play, and play they did. The two "Bobs" (Greve and Zeller), hit the bucket, and then Mike Burgdorf got into the act picking up four quick Bryniarksi hit a couple and the Warriors points. Then were rolling to a 54-35 bulge at t outscored the visitors 20-6 during the buzzer. The Warriors J the period The final period took forever as the frustrated Eagles began to foul the Warriors. The Warriors went to the line 23 times in the final eight minutes. Bob Greve made seven charity tosses, but the Warriors did miss seven on the front end of a l and 1, that could have made the score a bit higher. In the closing minute, Coach Ludwig inserted Charlie Wegener into the Warrior lineup, and again the student body rose in an ovation for the little guy. An attempt to get Charlie a basket went amiss when a violation by a Warrior nullified a pass to the young lad. Joe Bauml's four free throws dosed the scoring and the Warriors won 70-57 and sole possession of second place in the Fox Valley. Bob Zeller's 20 points led the Warriors. The Warriors played a couple of good games over the weekend. Team play was quite evident in both wins, however, the Warriors do not have the killer instinct. In both games they had an early opportunity to put the opposition out of the way in the early stages of the games, but once they grabbed a big lead, they fell into a complacent pattern, and let both Cary Grove and Jacobs come roaring back. Free throw shooting must improve down the stretch, but I'm sure Coach Ludwig will see to that item. Friday, the Warriors travel to Woodstock to meet the vastly improved Streaks.
