Johnsburg Lulls Winnetka To Sleep PAGE 7 - PLAINPEALER - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1881 In t game that displayed all the dullness of a mid-season non-conference battle, the Johnsburp Skyhawks defeated North Shore Country Day of Winnetka, 67-36 in Tuesday's Harvard Regional. Winnetka, suffering from a worse case of "smallitis" than the Skyhawks, featured no ptayer more than 6T\ Johnsburg took advantage of the boards, 35-26 and pulled double figures out of three players, while Winnetka managed only one player with more than 10 points.

The l- 1-2-1 press that the Johnsburg defense applied during most of the game resulted in two consecutive Rick Neiss buckets and Johnsburg led 8-0 before Ken Sacks put a quai Tun corner shot through for North Shore. The Sacks basket marked the only points of Winnetka's first quarter as Johnsburg poured in 20 first period points. Rick Neiss hit 5 out of 6 in the initial eight minutes.

The first and second string shared duties in the final eight minutes, holding North Shore to 6 points while gathering 18 to insure the victory. Tom Pieper and Rick Neiss teamed for 21 and 18 points, respectively, a good night's work for three quarters of play each. Chuck Novy also played his consitent game, putting in 10 points and pulling down 11 rebounds. Other Johnsburg scorers included Erank Jakubicek, 4, (with4 rebounds), RussBeck, 4, and Gary Guetzloff, Jeff Bartmann and Bob Baker with 2 each.

Rick Neiss and Pieper both were 9 for 16 and Novy hit 4 of 6 to bolster the Johnsburg average. Johnsburg will have to cut down on the turnovers and find some rebounding for their Thursday night game against Marian Central, who beat North Boone, 82-72, also on Tuesday night.

Joel Wakitsch *Qn The Sideline With Dick Rabbitt The Warriors won a pair of games this past week beating Dundee and Crystal Lake Central to run their season record to 16-7 and 94 in the Fox Valley. S.I. H. and his better half even found their way across town and took in the Tuesday night win over the Tigers. The Warriors continue to thrill their legion of fans on their hustle and desire. When they start their fast break it brings a roar from the crowd. Bobby Zeller put on a good offensive show for the crowd Tuesday night. They are will be held getting ready for the regional that leld here next The Warriors open up against Hononegah on Tuesday, ilvidere D the Freeport sectional. and Woodstock and Be. with the winners meeting next square offon Wednesday, Friday for the right to go to I'll have to put in a plug for the Crown Vikings. They rated Uth in the UPI poll made up of writers are and sportscasters, and 16th in the coaches poll. One area newspaper last week took the Vikings to task because of their weak schedule. They may not play the Quincy's, the Lincoln's or teams in the West Suburban conference, but their caliber of competition is in line with their enrollment of around 1,000. One has to remember that quite a few times this season Coach Jim Hinkle has had his regulars on the bench at half time because of a big lead. They may make it to the state finals, but their record of the past three seasons does merit some consideration in the state polls. I can't see running down an area school with a 22-1 record. I guess I still have some of that old sectional loyalty in me, and I am one that is going to pull for them to go as far as they can in tournament play. Appreciation to Billy Walker, Warrior manager this seaaon, for all the help ne has given me. He is a vital cog in the Warrior machine and saves the coaches thousands of steps during the season. Good student managers are hard to find these dsys, and Ken Ludwig has come up with a good one. Don't forget the Booster club's big evening tomorrow night At 6 p.m. the Alumni game will get under way with the Odd years vs. the Even years. These old grads have a lot of fun, and bring back memories of their good old days. After that is the attraction of the evening. The "Honey Bears" will play several games of volleyball, and then do a dance routine. I understand that Bob Mortell and Tom Pender have been using s tennis net for practice. The varsity and Jr. varsity Pom-Pon squads from MCHS will also perform. It should be a gala evening, and it is for a good cause. - - - - - - I go in his was in the 1964-65 seaaon in a game with Libertyville, when Rick Soda sank two free throws after time ran out to insure a Warrior 62-61 win. the teams were tied at 42 going into the final period, and with time running out Soda was the buzzer sounded and the Warriors down by a Our good friend Joe Schmitt, asked that I go back in the files and dig out a game that stands out in his memory.

Marengo, who had beaten South Beloit two weeks prior to move into a tie for first with the Sobos, hit 50 percent against Johnsburg,(24 of 48), and an amazing 18 of 21 free shots (88 percent). John­ sburg could managed only 18 of 65 field goals and 2 of 6 from the line in losing their eighth conference game against 2 victories. The Indians wasted no time showing the Skyhawks who was boss by taking an 18-6 first quarter lead. They kept the 12-point, 30-18 lead going into halftime. "We did come back to within six during the early third quarter," Dan Stanowski said. "They (Marengo) got hot right back, however, and started shooting their eyes out." The Indians moved into the last quarter with a 46-32 lead and proceeded to out- score the locals. 20-7 in the last eight minutes to claim the 66-39 victory. For the Skyhawks, both Sue Dehn and Inge Dschida hit for 12 points. Cheri Kofler had 6, Kim Grenman 5, Jane Peccuci 2, and Theresa Hauck and Joan Pierce hit a free throw each Johnsburg is now 6-11 overall and will end the regular season against North Boone on Monday at home (make up game), and Beloit Catholic on Tuesday at home. Joel Wakitsch EARL WALSH' So I Hear After writing columns for more than 45 years, a fellow sometimes gets the idea the time has come Unhang up your tools. Then you meet people like Dave Benrud and Ken and Lynn Bruce, readers who spur you on to further effort. When Ken and Lynn say they want more of the old time years about McHenry, you wonder what you can dig up next. Of course, a fellow sometimes repeats stories he has probably told before. One person said, "Don't worry about that. There are hundreds of new people in the community." A little encouragement gets a fellow off and wingin'. Old time years will ap­ pear, but a variety is necessary to please our readers. For instance -- How can I give up my feud with Cub fans? Tried to rib Herb Reihansperger with a story that Harry Caray will be announcing Cub games this year. It didn't bother him a bit. In fact, he thought it might be a good idea. Have those Cub fans lost their spirit and hope? Herb and Marilyn have gone so far as to hitch on to a wagon train, go west and stake out a claim in Tucson. Not on a permanent basis. Herb tells me the population of Tucson is 400,000. The way our friend "Zeke" told it. he goes down to the Post Office every day to get his mail and chat a bit with Fred Smith's daughter from Johnsburg. Sounded like small town stuff. I thought Tucson was another Tombstone. l "" Did you ever try to work a crossword puzzle wifh a ballpoint pen? I di-V " s back to the pencil. Hope TV in schools will ci more for the studen than some programs on the air, both TV and radio. The King's english is being murdered. Today I heard, "They are awful nice people". I rushed to Mr Webster's dictionary and found awful is awful Nice people. Reminded me of one of my old stories about the girl who returned home from a visit and reported: "They are Irish -- but they are nice people". Read something that reminds me of my birthdays at a very young age. My Godmother, Aunt Maria Muldoon, lived in Whiting. Indiana. So, it was in order to write to her < at least once a year). The letters went this way: Dear Aunt Maria, How are you? We are all fine It doesn't seem possible that my birthday is only two weeks away. Love, Your Godchild Earl Basketball fans are still talking about that last second Notre Dame win over top ranked Virginia. Larry Huck was one of the lucky fans in the gym and brought us a program. They really put out a lot of in­ formation in those programs. Real class After missing several basketball games, we took in the Tuesday night whing- ding in which the Warriors beat Crystal lake Central 62- 57 . It wasn't a game the home team won going away. It was a real battle after the visitors shook off their slow start. Big Bob Zeller put on quite a show in scoring a reported 28 points and sweeping the boards with power. I would just as soon be in front of a tank as to face Big Bob when he drives in to the basket. The Crystal Lake boys had the edge in height, but not in speed. When Coach Ludwig decides to send his teams into a full court press, they are really something to watch. Like all Ludwig teams, stamina is the middle name. ^ Art Beck, former MCHS athlete, has a son, Scott, who - is the playmaker on the Central team. Scott is a Junior and should hit his peak next season It looked like old home days as we entered the press section and saw "Mac" McCracken and Joe Schmitt. Those two have been around since the Indians pitched teepees in this area The Warriors have faced teams with the all-important height advantage all year, but have amassed a remarkable record The players and the coaching staff must be doing something right. We are glad in more ways than one that our team won Had we brought bad luck. Dick Rabbitt would have locked the door on us next time. UP AND IN-was the result of this drive by Rick Neiss of Johnsburg during their 67-36 regional victory over North Shore Country Day of Winnetka. Neiss scored 18 points on the day.
