Kies Quits Cage Post Bob Kies, Johnsburg's head basketball coach for the past three seasons, has resigned from that post Kies will be the head basketball and golf coach at Quincy's Notre Dame High for the 1961-82 school year The 42-year-old Kies compiled a record of 117-58 in his seven-year coaching career, including a 54-29 mark at Johnsburg The Skyhawks finished 17-11 last season. Kies' best season at Johnsburg was 1978-79, when the Skyhawks posted a 23-6 record and won the Shark Conference crown with a 10-2 mark. He earned conference and county coach of the year honors that season. He was a colorful coach at Johnsburg. In order to stir the emotions of his team prior to one game, he led the boys onto the court while wearing a huge foam rubber cowboy hat. After earning a technical foul in that contest, he removed his necktie and tossed it into the stands Kies has piloted teams to two conference co- championships, two outright crowns, four regional titles, a state super regional championship and one state title He was the head coach at Beloit Catholic from 1974- 78. winning the Wisconsin Independent Schools Athletic Association class B crown in 1977. In addition to his basketball duties, Kies was the head tennis coach at Johnsburg The Beloit, Wis. native will move to a slightly larger school next year. Notre Dame's 1980-81 enrollment was 728, compared to 654 for Johnsburg. He win teach physical education at Notre Dame Kies is a graduate of the University of Dubuque, with a bachelor's degree in physical education. He is married and has five children Johnsburg has not yet named a replacement. The school will consider ap­ plicants from inside and outside the school. It's a well known fact that kids love to run. All of that pent-up energy needs an outlet, and running seems to be a youngster's favorite way of burning up that energy. Chris Creutz is a typical youth. He gets a lot of pleasure out of running between two and five miles a day. The difference is Creutz can run that distance a lot faster than other kids his age. Creutz graduated from Parkland Junior High last week but certainly left his mark behind. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Ron Creutz won two state track cham­ pionships, a state cross­ country crowns and set a state record as well. Creutz won the Illinois Elementary School Association (IESA) class B mile championship. He covered the distance in 4:54, a class B record time that still stands. He captured the cross­ country crown by running a hilly two-mile course in 11:31, then returned to the IESA state meet two weeks ago "It was a lot easier this time." the youngster ex­ plained. "I was in better shape and was used to being at state." Creutz outran 30 other youngsters and won the championship in 4:41.7. the third-fastest time ever recorded in the meet. To top it all off, Creutz recently won the Chicago half-marathon, running a 13.1 mile course in 1 hour. 15 minutes and 26 seconds. The junior division competition included youngsters aged 14 and under All of this began, says Creutz. when he and a friend "just wanted to get in shape " He had little idea that his fitness program would turn into a virtual goldmine. He runs as far and as often as he can. and his parents encourage and sometimes prod him to get his running in «,•: Like most distance run­ ners, Creutz has no preference between the one- and two-mile. He does like cross-country better than track, however. "I like cross-country because of the hills and trees. It's gets kind of boring just running around in circles But in cross-country you at least see some scenery." he said. Creutz is anxiously awaiting the time he can run for McHenry High School. And he has already given some thought to post-high school competition. Three Warriors Honored Senior pitcher Sue Haddick of McHenry earned unanimous selection and two other Warrior athletes were chosen for post­ season honors in the Fox Valley Conference. Haddick and sophomore shortstop Karen Karpavicius were named to named to the all-conference softball team and senior pitcher Jeff McNish earned FVC baseball honors. The selections were made by conference coaches. The Warrior softball coach is Mary Osterman and the baseball coach is Brian Wilson. Karpavicius and Haddick helped the Warriors to a second- place finish in the FVC. McHenry played extremely well in the IHSA regional tournament but were defeated by Woodstock in the semi-finals. McNish was the most consistent pitcher for the Warrior boys. McHenry finished with a subpar record but showed promise at the end of the season. McNish led the team with a .355 batting average on the season. The respective conference champions led the selections. Cary-Grove had five girls named to softbaU honors and Crystal Lake South placed five on the baseball team.

Wayne's made it look easy as they beat the only other undefeated team in the ea&ern division. King's Row. by a 12-0 score. The winners sat back on their six-run first inning lead until a five-run fourth inning, highlighted by Pat Burke and Wayne Roewer's back to back home runs, put the game out ot reach. Burke had three singles besides-the home run with three RBIs and three runs scored. Roewer added another home run in the first, a single and four RBIs. Kevin Horner went three for three while Tom Prudden, Terry Hovseth and Rick Weigman added two hits each Hovseth included some great defense with a couple of sliding shoestring catches in right field. Wayne's outhit King's Row 19 to 7 as the losers managed only seven scratch singles. Only two runners ever reached third base during the whitewash while two double-plays stopped any possible rallies in the final two innings Old Bridge Tavern won its second consecutive game by dumping Whale's Tail 19-7. For three innings the game was close as the Bridge held a slim 9-7 lead However, a seven run fourth iced the win for Old Bridge. Doug Freund and Gary Gilpin led the winner's 19-hit offense with three hits each Gilpin included his fourth home run of the season.

The winners batted around in both the first and second innings as they built a 14-run lead The Tap's Don Bentz went ihree for three, drove in five RRIs and included his fourth home run of the season. Ron Miller also went three for three with two RBIs and three runs scored. Myron Rentz had two hits, two RBIs and included a leadoff home run in the second inning.

In ad­ dition to collegiate aspirations. Creutz added that he'd love a shot at Olympic competition. Before any of that hap­ pens. however, he'll have to find a way to fit study time into his busy running schedule. Creutz admitted that he was an average student, but put in long hours in an effort to improve his grades. "I wanted to keep on running, so I worked hard to keep my grades up." he said. It is this kind of dedication that has made Creutz a superb runner. In addition to participation in track and cross-country, Creutz was a pretty fair wrestler. He was a member of Parkland's state tour nament team this spring "Wrestling's too much work." he said with a smile "I'd rather run." Somehow that's not sur­ prising. One should do what he does best. For Chris Creutz,.that means running AN OLD-FASHIONED SLUGFEST • so common to 16-inch softball • was the order of the day Monday at VFW Park.
