DECEMBER 17.1982 direak Match Now More Than A Rivalry The rivalry between McHenry and Woodstock has always been com­ petitive. But this season and the next three years could be a little more difficult for McHenry Warrior Wrestling Coach Marty Sobczak. His son. Lance is a wrestler on the Woodstock freshmen squad. The Warriors travel to Woodstock to take on the Blue Streaks in a dual wrestling match tonight. Starting time is 6:30 at the Woodstock High School gym. "It's going to be tough to be ob­ jective," said Coach Sobczak about his son wrestling for the other side. "He (his son) is going to be wrestling some kids who I helped wrestle. It will be a strain, especially in the next couple years. There will be more pressure. You want to see him do well, but you don't want your own kids to lose." While Coach Sobczak keeps one eye on Lance, the veteran Warrior coach will try to keep his varsity squad on the winning track in Fox Valley Conference action against Woodstock, www. the Warriors and the Blue Streaks have unblemished FVC records at 2-0. While the Warriors had an easy time with Dundee 44-15, the Blue Streaks crushed Cary-Grove 52-12. With both teams off to a good start in the young season, Sobczak expects another good Woodstock-McHenry wrestling dual. Johnsburg Skyhawk 185 pound wrestler, Brian Ella seems to have the situation under controL He defeated the Richmond opponent 84 Tuesday. Elia also pinned his Marengo opponent, Brian McClernon at 3:11. STAFF PHOTO -- MIKE LAMB "It will be a flip flop situation," said Sobczak. The winner will be the one who is going to get the most points. "They (Blue Streaks) have a lot of young people, but a lot of them have experience. Where they don't have a lot of years, they have people with determination. Our people are the same way." According to Sobczak, both squads will use the match as a tune up for the always tough Harvard Invitational on Saturdav "It (Woodstock match) will be a high pressure situation, and they might as well get used to it." Sobczak expects all the matches to be tough, but he mentioned four matchups which will be the highlight of the evening. At 105 pounds, John Keevil with a record of 7-1, takes on Todd Bor- chardt; at 119 pounds, Ric Conner takes on Bill Rich; Bob Sarabia 5-2 at 126 pounds wrestles Dan Stewart and Mike Love will take on Joe Rizzo at the 138 pound contest. Dan Mohnen has the task of wrestling Carnell Washington at heavyweight who has won eight straight matches. Mohnen is 4-2 so far. The success of Coach Jim Patton and his Blue Streaks is probably due to five varsity wrestlers return from last years team. They are Borchardt, Rich, Stewart and Rick Drabek at 138 pounds. Those five combined for a record of 32-7 last season. JOHNSBURG -- Anxious to prove how good a wrestling team they are after losing 69-0 to Antioch, the Johnsburg Skyhawks handily defeated both Marengo and Richmond in a double dual Tuesday. The Skyhawks defeated Marengo 45-17 and Richmond 39-25 and raised their overall record to 5-3-1. "They were anxious to go out there and prove how good they are," said Skyhawk Coach Don March. "When people ask if they won or lost, they usually don't take in consideration who they lost to. They took a lot of guff by the students in the halls." March said the win was like a breath of fresh air for the wrestlers. "The biggest shot in the arm for us was that we won with such a young varsity squad consisting of only two seniors, three juniors, four sophomores and three freshmen." The wrestler March was the most impressed with was Mark Dumelle at 155 pounds. He pinned both his op­ ponents. He pinned Tom Amettis of Richmond at 3:24 and Bob Rieck of Marengo at 5:24. "He (Dumelle) really came through for us," said March. "He is our bad luck wrestler. He has lost several matches by two or three points. But he never gives up and he showed what he is made of against Marengo and Rich­ mond." March named Dumelle wrestler of tli€ W66k. * 96 pounder Guy Bazilewich also recorded two falls. He pinned Dwight Hogan of Marengo at 1:35 and Kinsch of Richmond at 1:16. Other Skyhawk pins were scored by Shawn Kee over his Richmond op­ ponent, Joel Rowland over his Rich­ mond opponent, Mike Hurckes over Dan Martinez of Marengo at 3:55 and Brian Elia over Brian McClernon of Marengo at 3:11. Rowland also defeated Dale Bradt of Marengo in a superior decision, 18-2 and Dave Haisma scored a 12-2 major decision over Loran Durling of Marengo. Other winning decisions for Johnsburg against Marengo were scored by Mike Cahill over Jon Brunchan 14-8 and John Payne over Dan Martinez 10-9. Against Richmond, Brian Elia decisioned Maxwell 8-6.

Buenzfi is now the number one golfer a I the University of Illinois. STAFF PHOTO -- WAYNE GAYLORD MIKE LAMB Golf is a big part of McHenry's Jim Buenzli's life. How big? Big enough for the fifth year senior University of Illinois varsity golfer to have dropped his previous major in landscape architecture in favor of physical education so he could concentrate on his golf game. Buenzli was a member of the 1977 McHenry Warrior golf team under the guidance of Coach Chuck Cuda that placed third at the Illinois High School Association State meet. That was his senior year. He played golf on the varsity for 2Vfe years. The 22-year-old now helps the varsity Fighting lllini golf team compete in the Big Ten. But he just S!!!iiLfrom rhigt *** Ten "I skipped my freshman year because I v, skipped my freshman year Decause l w; good enough to play," said Buenzli. "He (Illinois golf coach at the time, Ladd Pash) just let me practice and play free hoping something would come out of it the next year." But things didn't turn around for Buenzli until the present coach, Ed Beard, came to Illinois two years ago. "He came here and I did better. I'm finishing higher and learning a lot more. He gave me more confidence." "I learned a lot through golf. I hope to use it in the future" Buenzli had a successful fall golf season in 1982. He placed third individually at Iowa with a 76-69-75- 75. The Fighting lllini placed second overall. He also captured sixth at Ohio Stjate with a 76-75-75. At the tough Buttle National tournament, Buenzli carded a 75-79-77 for ninth frface. Illinois took a trip South in early November and he carded a 76-79-79 at a course in Georgia. Now with a little break until spring. Buenzli and his teammates are working on lost time at their studies, but they still work on the golf game. Buenzli says they can practically play year-round in Champaign. Even though it will be his last chance to compete for the Fighting lllini in the Big Tenrhe has not set any goals, "i don't really set any goals myself. I just go out and give it my best effort all the time. I don't look back and say I could have done that or this -- I just try to look over my mistakes and don't make any mistakes twice. *- "Hopefully I will do better this spring. We take a few trips south. We have a tough February, playing in tournaments in North Carloina. We are also taking a trip to California in March. The last seven to eight weeks we play Big Ten schools." The key to his late success, according to Buenzli, has been the weight lifting program Beard established in the golf program. "I was really small when he came. I can hit the ball a lot longer now. "When I played in the Butler Invitational, I played with UCLA's Jay Delsig. From everyone I nave talked with, he is supposed to be the longest hitter in golf and I didn't nave too much trouble keeping up with him. "The closer I get the ball to the green, the easier it is to get it on the,green. Sometimes it just pays to " get it on the fairway, but on a longer course, it pays to hit it longer and on the fairway.'?'!:"'.- ' Buenzli says his weakness that he has to work on is his swing. It's not quite where he wants it to be. "I need to generate more power. Sometimes I can hit it long and sometimes I can't. I would like to hit it long all the time. It's just a matter of practicing." According to Buenzli, his strength is around the green -- chipping and putting. "All last summer coach was trying to make me hit 50 yards away from the green. All summer that's what I practiced on. Over the course of the season, it saved me 100 strokes." • Changing his major to physical education from Landscape architecture altered what his future occupation will be. Does he have any second thoughts? "I learned a lot through golf. I hope to use it in the future. During the next coming spring I don't have a heavy load (classes). The last eight weeks I have only one class. Hopefully I will drag myself out mi the course and give it ail I got. Next summer I'm going to try to play in as many big tournaments as I can. After that I will sit down and evaluate what I can do." Buenzli does nave &uine mougius aDout professional golf and if he does decide to try it he says he will have to make a trip south. "I'll defintely have to go south and find somebody who could help me with my game. I have a roommate who is going on the mini-tour. I guess I will talk with him and find out what it takes to succeed down there in professional golf. "That will be ideal. But sometimes things don't work out the way you want it too." And what if it doesn't pan out? "I'm really not too sure. I have a degree in teaching grades sixth through twelfth. But that's illy my first opt: be involved with golf. not really my first option.

Girls Are Ready SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE JACK MCCARTHY WOODSTOCK -- Marian Central's unbeaten girls basketball team faces one of its toughest tests of the season Friday as it hosts Benet Academy, a West Suburban Catholic Conference power. But coach Don Penza believes his squad will be up for challenges posed by Benet ana other WSCC teams. "Benet is one of the stronger ones," he said. "I think we'll be able to compete with them." Unlike Marian's boys team, the girls are competing this season as WSCC members. The boys uad does not have a full league schedule and is lying as an independent. So far, everything has been upbeat for the 4-0 Hurricanes. Marian swept past Huntley and Johnsburg last week, rallied from a 12-point deficit to defeat league rival Montini last Friday and knocked off previously unbeaten Harvard in Monday's home opener. Penza, in his first year at the girls' helm, has three talented returning starters along with four others that form the core of his 13-person team. Lost to graduation were last season's standout starters Jackie Weber and Debbie Liggett as well as reserve Maggie Monson. *• Returnees include Holly Ryan, a 5-9 senior forward-center who is "probably our most effective ballplayer," Penza said. "A good, steady, consistent player" and team leader, Ryan can play any court position. "She's real flexible," the coach said. Nancy Walsh, a 5-6 returning junior guard, has emerged as the Hurricane's primary ball handler. "We Took to her when we need to bring the ball down. Walsh, a good shooter, is also a key player on defense. Beth Penza, the coach's daughter and the third returnee, is a 5-8 guard-forward. "She's a good jumper," the elder Penza said. When at the forward spot she can pull down needed offehsive rebounds while at the guard position she can provide effective ball handling and outside shooting Two other seniors complete the basic starting lineup. Sarah Traver, a 5-6 senior guard, who saw had a lot of court time last season, is a player with "some excellent skills," said Penza. Traver is a good ball handler who has scoring potential. Laura Franks, a 5-8 senior, is back at Marian after spending a year in Scandinavia as a foreign exchange student. Although she missed a year of basketball, Penza said she is improving every game, Her talents include good defensive rebounding and shooting. . . Althougn not necessarily starters, the Marian coach said two other players have already and will continue to log plenty of court time. Beth Lango, at 6-2 the tallest Hurricane, has seen plenty of actum in the middle, while Teresa Griffin, a 5-9 junior center- forward, has played well inside and can also hit 10- • 15-foot jump shots. Others on the squad include: Kim Schuler, Kim Kuper, Diane Zyskowski, Chris Ferrero, Marian Asfled and Leslie Vanderkarr. All are junior^ "Overall, we're a good defensive balldub, better than expected," Penza said He also praised his squad's intelligence in adapting to and playing well under his new systeip.
