PAGH to - PLAINL>£AL1£R - FRIDAY. OCTOBER 30, 19*1 Hornets Rip Mundelein Back On Track At 33-0 FIGHTING FOR THE BALL - are three members off McHenry's field hockey team in Tuesday's tournament game against totf ranked DeKalb. Aggressive play kept the Warriors in the game, but in the end the more experienced On The Sidelines By Dick Rabbitt Congratulations to Bill Hutchinson and his "Running Warriors" for winning the Fox Valley conference meet last week at Crystal Lake. This in addition to the McHenry County meet has added some hardware to the trophy case. Another bouguet to Wade Cepulis for winning the individual title. The senior Warrior showed his heels to a lot of runners last week, and did an outstanding job. Just the thought of running in Veterans Acres is enough to want one to sit down and think about it. Tomorrow theWarriors host the I.H.S.A. District here at West campus. Teams entered are Antioch, Cary Grove, Grant, Conant, Hoffman Estates, Lake Zurich, Round Lake, Streamwood, Wauconda and the host Warriors. Should be a fine meet and here is wishing the Warriors success from a lot of Warrior fans. Joe Schlender's football Warriors have hit a snag the past couple of weeks, and are hoping to snap out of it tomorrow at Jacobs. You can bet the big fellow has had the team working hard this week, and I think the Warriors will be ready for the Golden Eagles tomorrow. With the football playoffs only a couple of weeks away, now is the time that a lot of schools are wondering where they should send their scouts. Several schools quite a distance from here, have inquired on the status of the Fox Valley. Even though the Crystal Lake Tigers are in the driver's seat, Cary, Crown and Jacobs all have a shot at the title. It is going to be a race right down to the final game. Must put a plug in for an area school. The Richmond Rockets are rated fifth in the state in Class 2-A. The Rockets are undefeated in seven games. Would be nice if they could make the playoffs. The crystal ball is almost smashed to pieces, the way I'm picking them this year. The Fox Valley is a dog eat dog conference this season. Anyone can beat anyone on a given day, which, is good from the schools and fans standpoint. This week I'm going to pick the Warriors to pull a mild upset in beating Jacobs. The Warriors have the ability to play with the best of them in the Fox Valley. Cary to defeat the Streaks, everyone has wondered what has happened to Bob Bradshaw's team this season. Central to defeat Crown in what could be the best game of the season in the conference, if Crown has any nope of winning it must stop the Tiger passing attack. Dundee to beat South in a close one Marian to wrap up the Shark conference with a win over Hononegah, and Harvard to trip the Skyhawks. Marian, Johnsburg Harriers Win Meets Tuning up for the Burlington Central District meet, both the Marian Central and the Johnsburg high school cross country teams recorded victories on their final regular season meets of the year Monday night. Marian Central improved its record to 13-2 by scoring a perfect 15-50 home course victory over SHARK op­ ponent Hononegah. Hans Rokus' Hurricanes are currently ranked 15th in the state in the Class A Power ratings. Marian finished in the top seven places in the three mile race to win easily. Senior John Wottreng was the event medalist with a time of 17 minutes and two seconds. He was followed by teammates Jay Chapman, second in 17:24; Bob Hart- mann, third in 17:38; Tom Wottreng, fourth in 17:41; Yun Kim, fifth in 18:10; Dave Cotteleer, sixth in 18:16; and Greg Alblinger, seventh in 18:22. Also running on its home course, Johnsburg defeated both Harvard and St. Ed­ ward of Elgin in a triangular meet at Glacial Park. The Skyhawks won 18-45 over the Hornets and edged the £reenwave 28-29. To com­ plete the scoring, St. Edward topped Harvard 20-43. Junior Jay Jackson led Bob Texidor's Skyhawks with a first place finish in 14:50, while senior Mike Steck finished second in the event with a 15:29 clocking. Joe Kalisek finished fifth for Johnsburg with a time of 15:58, and was followed by Mike Lawrence, 10th in 16:49; Paul Metzger, 11th in 16:56; Mike Dodge, 12th in 17:01; Chris Tennison, 13th in 17:15; Jeff Nichols, 17th in 18:17; and Ken Schoenig, 23rd in 19:49. Skyhawk senior Lydia Oakley was the first girl harrier in as she finished 26th in the same race with a time of 20:33. Twelve schools will compete in the District meet held Saturday morning. Besides Johnsburg and Marian, Harvard of the SHARK conference will also be participating Marian won the District last year.

A week earlier, Phil Thome's team had ap­ parently lost a 6-0 game to Winnetka. But later when it was confirmed that a Winnetka player had illegally switched jersey ibers, the Hornets were {warded a 2-0 forfeit victory. The Hornets (6-1) have recorded three shutouts in their last three contests, and have five whitewashings to their credit this season. McHenry has outscored its opponents 129-13 in those seven games. The Hornets will be seeking their fourth win in a row this Sunday when they travel to Round Lake for a 2:00 p.m. contest. A g a i n s t M u n d e l e i n , McHenry displayed a balanced running attack and put the game away early by scoring on three of its first four possessions of the first half. The first time the Hornets had the ball, they drove 67 yards in only four plays to score. Fullback Mike Schultz carried for seven yards on the first play from scrim­ mage. After a Mundelein p e n a l t y , q u a r t e r b a c k William Cameron connected with Schultz with a 37-yard pass to put the ball on the 18- Plaindealer yard line. Halfback John Diedrich, the Hornets' leading ground gainer this season, then carried for three yards on the next play. After McHenry was penalized five yards for illegal motion, Diedrich ran for 20 yards and a touchdown. Schultz's extra point kick was good and McHenry led 7-0. On the Hornets' second possession, it took only three plays to score. Diedrich ran for seven yards, Schultz picked up 20 on second down, then Diedrich ran for a 37- yard score. Schultz's kick w a s a g a i n p e r f e c t a n d McHenry led 14-0. The Hornets managed only four plays on their next possession when Diedrich fumbled the ball away, but the defense quickly got the ball back. Four running plays and a 10-yard pass from Cameron to J R. Wright put the ball on the eight-yard line. From there, Schultz scored his first touchdown of the af­ ternoon just before the first half ended. The extra point kick was no good, but the Hornetrs led 20-0 at in­ termission. In the first half, McHenry completely dominated play with 203 total yards. Cameron's two passes ac­ counted for 47 of those, while Diedrich and Schultz chewed up most of the 1S6 yards gained on the ground. Mundelein was held to a mere eight yards in the half. In the second half, Schultz scored his second touchdown of the afternoon on a 52-yard run. The extra point failed, but McHenry's lead was extended to 26-0. Near the end of the half, Diedrich ended the scoring with his third touchdown of the afternoon on an eight- yard run. It was the thir­ teenth time this season that Diedrich had crossed the goal line. Schultz was per­ fect on his final extra point attempt and McHenry wrapped up its 33-0 win. The Hornets gained 95 yards of total offense in the second half giving them 298 on the afternoon. Schultz rushed for 106 yards in eight attempts, while Diedrich had 89 yards in 10 attempts. Joe Podpora's defensive unit held Mundelein to 47 yards for the game, while intercepting four passes. Randy Hawley had two thefts, while Schultz and Mark Jinga had one apiece. Carl Moesche DeKalb team prevailed 5-0 and eliminated IVIcHenry from the playoffs. Fighting for the ball are Care Jepsen (69), Cindy Byron (8), and Tammy Sproull (background).

The Warriors had played the Huskies even in the opening minutes of the first set as West, Iacullo, and sophomore Andee Norton served for three points to knot the score. But Harlem then served eight points in a row to take a commanding 11-3 lead. One point by Jaskoviak and two more by West couldn't contain the Huskies' momentum as they went on to win 15-6.

Chapel Hill *d., Johnsburg *>5-1475 sets which turned the season around. The Warriors would go on to win five of their next six games, playing their most consistent volleyball of the year. Included in that string was a third place finish at the Zion-Benton tournament. But following the tour­ nament, disaster struck as Chesler injured her leg in a physical education class; and Stelmack injured her wrist three games later. The Warriors then split in their last two games to finish at 5-9 in the Fox Valley conference, before traveling to Hononegah. "It's been a frustrating season " said Shaffer. "We had our moments when we really looked great on the court, but we had our share of problems too." Next season, Shaffer will have the nucleus of Jaskoviak, Norton, and Jodi Werhane, to build on in addition to a number of underclassmen that will be required to fill in. "It's too bad that our season ended so quickly," concluded Shaffer. "But I think we learned that there is a lot that we can work on for next season."
