PAGE • - PI- % tM>E ALKR - FRIDAY. FEBRUARY tl, 1M1 Zeller Paces Win With 28 Plaindealer Battle For Second The Warriors will close out regular season play tonight when they travel to Crystal Lake to take on Gary Collin's Gators. You can bet that Collins will not take the Warriors lightly as he did earlier in the season. In that game the Warriors stunned the Collins crew 61-60 in what everyone would call a mild upset, except Ken Ludwig and his Fighting Warriors. In the earlier contest the Warriors never trailed and led at one time by 12 pts., only to see the Gators make a last minute run at them to no avail. With the im­ provement of the Murphy brothers, John and Steve to go along with the two standby's Randy Salerno the 6'6" center and Curt Waylor a 6'3" forward, the Warriors can expect to have their hands full once again. However, nothing comes easy for the Ludwig crew, and you can bet that again they will put on a good show for the fans. Then on Tuesday, the Warriors open regional play when they take on Hononegah in the opening game at 7:30 p.m The In­ dians of the Shark con­ ference are currently in second place with a 7-4 record and an overall record of 9-12 /""V From all reports, the Indians are ^-'like. the Warriors, entertaining and fun to watch. They run and gun, and Coach Willie Han­ sen has a big one to get the ball off the boards. Having lost last year in the finals to Belvidere by 2 points, the Warriors would like nothing better than to win their own tourney and advance to the Freeport sectional the following week. In the Wednesday night game at 7:30 between Woodstock and Belvidere. this should be another ding dong battle. The Streaks have been up and down all season, but have one of the hottest shooters in the area in senior Joe Leahty. Belvidere has had some discipline problems that has left their squad somewhat weaker than earlier in the season. The two winners will square off on Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. for the cham­ pionship and the right to advance to the Free port sectional.

Tuesday night, before a large Parent Night gathering, the Warriors defeated Crystal Lake Central, 62-57 for their 16th win of the season. As Coach Ken Ludwig said after the £me, "We just played a tremendous game ssecond half, both on offense and defense". It was a night when Bobby Zeller nut on an offensive clinic for the tens in attendance. All the young lad accomplished was 13 baskets and two free throws tor twenty-eight points. When he wasn't making a 15-foot jump shot, he was muscling his way to the basket for a l«vtm -- . . . . . . . . . . . i IK warnor utnense uiu an excellent jod in holding down the bigger Tigers, limiting 6'6" center Jim Teuber to a mere basket for the evening. Once again the Warriors started out with a bang and grabbed a 11-4 margin at the end of the mtitial period. Defense played a big part in the opening quarter as the Tigers were limited in their shooting from close range and had to rely on long range gunning for their two baskets. Zeller and Bryniarski put the Warriors up 15-4, and it looked as if the Warriors Were going to put the Tigers away early, but as in the past, they had a letdown and the Tiger crew scrambled back to a one-point deficit at the intermission, 24-23. The locals trailed 27-26 when Bob Zeller (at 4:46) put the Warriors ahead 28-27, and another basket by the senior center seconds later had the Warriors up by 3. They never trailed again in the game. Greve's two charity tosses put the Warriors up 38-31 with 1:20 remaining and the period ended with the Ludwig crew ahead 38-33. The final period saw 48 points rung up on the score board as each team made 24 points during a wild and frantic eight minutes of play The Warriors maintained that five-point bulge, and after each Warrior basket, the Tiger crew would come down and hit the hoop. With 2:25 remaining the Warriors 57-49, ck. Cibbed their largest lead of the t again the Tigers came roaring! The Warriors seemed to put it afi together Tuesday night. They had a crisp passing attack, their shot selection was great, and their team play, at times actually hurt them as one would pass up a good shot to pass off to a teammate. Tonight they travel to Crystal Lake South to take on Gary Collin's Gators, in the battle for second place in the Fox Valley. It should be a whale of a ball game.

Johnson scored 330 total points at McHenry last year good for a 12.7 per game average and second only to Len Jensen's 14.6 per game average. At Rapid City, the past Warrior has started in every Hardrocker game so far this season and is currently averaging 7.2 points per game and 6.7 rebounds, second on the squad. In conference play, he ranks sixth in field goal percentage and fifth in rebounds. Hardrocker coach Jim Kampen said of the McHenry grad, "Jim is a fine young man and is an asset to our school and basketball program." Johnson is a computer science major and will play a key roll in returning the Hardrockers to the top of the SDIC Conference. m. ' **- A CLEAN SWIPE-by Warrior Guard Bob Greve popped the ball out of the grasp of Dundee Forward Kurt Shuring during McHenry's recent win over the Cardunals. Greve and the scrappy Warriors came back again on Tuesday to beat Crystal Lake Central, and will tmsle with Crystal Lake South on Friday in battle for sole possession of second place In the Fes Valley Conference.

The two defenders weren't about to give Truckenbrod, s junior Marian forward from McHenry, a helping hand as he was crammed by one and fouled by the other. Truckenbrod made one of two free throws as a result and scored 9 points as the Hurricanes advanced with a 82-72 win over North Boone in the Harvard Regional. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD In a physical, fast-paced contest marred by fouls and turnovers, Marian Central beat North Boone, 82-72 at the Harvard Class A Regional Tuesday night. Both teams traded baskets in the early going, but with the score at 6 all. North Boone's Randy Kramer, a 6'1" guard, hit a breakaway layup and was fouled He missed a try for the three point play, but teammate Brian Crull stole the ball under the basket and put in a five-footer to put North Boone ahead early, 10-6. The quarter ended with little change in scoring patterns, and Marian trailed, 17-12 after one period. The Hurricanes changed the tune, however, in period two, outscoring the Vikings 22-13. Marian hit on 9 of 19 field goals in the period, minpg good rebounding and gafbage buckets by Brad Gregory, with some outside shooting by Carl Brown. "That's what Gregory does best for us," Marian coach Hans Rokus said. "He's the best defensive player we have and he picks up a lot of garbage on derneath." The Hurricanes tied the score at 22 on a five-foot driving shot by Don Roughan at the mid-point of the period. Roughan collected a charging foul alpng with the two points and Brian Crull hit two charity tosses to put North Boone back on top. Carl Brown was called for travelling, and after Marian regained possession, Matt Wheeler, a pesky 5'7" guard stole the ball from Marian and hit a layup. The Viking lead extended to four. Marian came back to tie the game at the 2:10 mark when Brad Gregory collected a nice hanging layup to put the score at 28- 28 Carl Brown then stole the ball at the charity stripe on the inbounds play and hit an excellent turnaround jumper to give Marian the lead 30-28 The Hurricanes held onto the two point lead until Brad Gregory extended the gap to four with a 8-foot jumper with 6 seconds left in the half. The intermission saw Marian ahead, 34-30. The third period marked the turning point of the game Both Brian Crull (6'3") and Tom Stimes <6'5") were called with their fourth fouls in the early goings of the third period for North Boone. Fouls worked against the Vikings as Marian hit 8 out of 13 free throws in the period. North Boone shot only two free throws in the same eight- minute span. Marian out­ pointed the losers 22-17 to take a 56-47 lead into the final quarter of the year for North Boone Hurricane all-conference pick Carl Brown, finally found a hot hand in the last eight minutes, pacing Marian with 11 last quarter points. Randy Kramer put in 8 of his game-high 26 points in the last quarter for the Vikings, but it wasn't enough to get his team back in to the game Marian outshot North Boone, 26-25, in the last portion as Brian Crull and Tom Stimes both fouled out of the game mid-way through the last period The winners only hit 44 percent from the field, (30 of 67), but the 22 of 36 free throws helped the cause North Boone managed 28 of 66 field goals for 42 percent and hit on 16 of 24 charity shots, nine of 11 in the last eight minutes. Carl Brown paced the Hurricanes with 19 points on 8 of 23 shots and 3 of 6 free throws, but coach Rokus thought of the Brown per­ formance as "not one of his best." "Sure Brown had an off night, but he was only 4 points off his average," Rokus said. "Most players would call 19 points a good night, though." Brad Gregory had 17 points on an 8 for 15 night and Jim Mayer managed 10 points, 8 in the second half. Other Hurricane scorers included Mike Sabatka and Scott Truckenbrod 9, Dan Roughan 8, Kevin Noonan 5, Tim Sherwood 4 and Joe Johnson 1. Besides Kramer with 26, North Boone's Kevin Kalk tallied 11 and Brian Crull added 10. With 4 teams left in the regional at Harvard, Rokus still balked at conceding a clear-cut favorite for the championship. "I think all four teams left are evenly matched," Rokus said. "Anyone still has a clear-cut chance to win it." Montini Wins Two LONCHOtN STEAK HOUSE FRIDAY: FRESH LAKE PERCH STYLE SHOW WEDNESDAY 12:30 • 2:30PM SATURDAY NIGHT SUPER SPECIAL!
