Last weekend the McHenry Hornets saw their three-game winning streak snapped by a strong Nor thbrook squad by a score of 6-0. For the first time this season, Phil Thome's squad was outgained in total yards. Northbrook accumulated 159 yards compared to the Hornets 120 >• The game was as close as the score indicated, but perhaps McHehry was its own worst enemy. Missed passes, five fumbles, and five penalties for 35 yards, all led to the Hornets defeat. One of those penalties may have also prevented a tying touchdown late in the fourth quarter. McHenry found its offense going nowhere in the first half fumbling the ball away fy three times and failing to sustain any drive of more than two first downs. About the only bright spot was the 76-yard punt by the Hornets' Mike Schultz that took them out of the hole and put North brook back on its own 20- yard line. McHenry quarterback William Cameron had Schultz wide open on a long pass pattern in the first quarter, but he overthrew him on what apparently was an easy score. But even with their own mistakes, the Hornets had also shutout Northbrook in the half by forcing two punts and also two fumbles.*. Defensive coach Joe Pod pora's string of consecutive shutout quarters was ex<i tended to seven. But in the third quarter, the string broke. Nor thbrook struck early in the period as runs of 30 and 35 yards put the ball on the orie- yard line. From there the fullback bulled his way over for the only score of the game. The attempted extra point was unsuccessful as the Hornets stopped an off tackle run. McHenry again failed to sustain a drive in the third period, but late in the final quarter, running back John Diedrich carried for a 25- yard gain down to the North brook 15-yard line. But the play was wiped out on a peculiar 15 yard penalty. Cameron, the quarterback, was called for a face masking penalty, which put the ball back into the Hor nets half of the field. Northbrook got the ball back following a missed fourth down attempt and sat on the ball to finish the Same. Schultz was the leading ballcarrier for the Hornets with 59 yards, and he also starred on defense with three sacks from his linebacker position. Mike Burrell also had three sacks for the Hornets. "We got beat by a Teal good team," said Thorne. "They forced us to change our plays several times because they anticipated what we were going to do. "But we really beat ourselves," he continued. "The penalties and the fumbles really hurt. For tunately Northbrook is in the Southern division. I think we'll see them again in the playoffs." ,-j, v, McHepry will have a bye this weekend, and in tyo weeks will play at Fox Lake on Saturday,(Oct. 10 in a 8:00 p.m. contest Carl Moesche The Johnsburg vol team was busy last week winning two of three mat ches and improving^ its record to 5-4. The Skyhawks opened the week losing to conference rival Harvard in three sets 11-15,15-8, and 7-15. The loss lowered their Shark con ference record to 0-2, but coach Kathy Bull looks at her team's situation without worry. "Noteam in the con ference is playing real consistant, at least not yet," she said. "I don't think that first place is out of our reach." Wednesday night the Skyhawks played with that consistency as they defeated Grant 16-14, 8-15, and 15-11. "It was at complete tur naround to win a game like this," said Bull. "It was important that we didn't come back to beat our- . selves." • \ Grant led in the first game 10-4 before Cheri Kofler served three straight points bringing Johnsburg closer. But the Bulldogs came back with four points of their own to take a 13-7 lead. Then after trailing 14-10, the Skyhawks rallied for an amazing comeback behind Sue Dehn's six straight points and Kofler's fine defense to win the first set. In the second set, Grant - led 6-2, before Norine O'Neill's ace served Johnsburg within one pdint at 6-5. But then the Bulk took control of the game and went on to win 15-8. In the deciding third game, Dehn took matters into her own hands by ser ving the Skyhawks to a 7-1 lead. Kofler then added four more points on serves giving Bull's team a 11-3 lead. During that time, Patti Haag unleashed jiar^e spikes, two ' of those being kills. Grant came back to within 11-8, but Diane Jleard boosted Johnsburg's lead 10 13-8 with a pair of spikes and then Kofler and Heard put the game aWay with some line drive serves. In the third set, Haag led the Skyhawks with eight spikes while Heard had seven. Dehn was respon sible for many of these as she,had Hi sets. Friday night at Wauconda, Johnsburg was a little better winning in three sets. Although Bull's team dropped the opening set 12- 15, they came back to take the next two by identical 15-4 scores. k O'Neill and Dehn were the big guns for Skyhawks against Wauconda. After hosting Marian Central on Thursday, the varsity will travel to Marengo on Tuesday, Oct. 6 for a 6:00 p.m. match.

The Warriors won their third straight game of the season before a loyal legion of law who braved the elements at Crystal Lake last Friday night To say conditions were impossible is nutting it midly. Defeating first time innistc the Gators for the time story, and under adverse weather conditions to top it off was imply great. And to eased Wilbert off a small wager to Ned Neyjijan, McHc put the frosting on the cake I witnessed'Wilbert Hecht, former McHenry resident, now living to < Crystal Lake sd Neuma President on the outcome of the game. Wi bet from the Crystal Lake resident is like breaking bank at Monte Carlo. Hutch's "Harriers" are at Crystal Lake tome, the Annual Grant-Crystal Lake Invitational. The of Crystal Lake Central are some kind of a team season, and the local crew will have their hands ft trying to win this big event. Chuck Cuda's golfers will be at the Lake Focjpt Invitational tomorrow, and from all reports it will be a fine field of the better teams in the area including a lot of the suburban schools. This meet is sometimes a prelude to the State meet held later in October. The crystal ball got broken last week when Jacobs upset Crown, and Marian defeated Hononegah. We don't mind when a McHenry area team breaks the old ball, but an outsider, it really hurts. TWs week I'm going to stick with the Warriors again over the Streaks. It will be a tough contest, but Coach Joe has promised me a good game from his squad.
