IL PAGE C - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12,1983 Dayton's Stuff Adds Final Touches, On Warrior Loss MIKE LAMB CRYSTAL LAKE -- Crystal Lake South forward Tom Dayton seemed to have a message for the McHenry Warriors -- you can take your 4-0 Fox Valley Con­ ference record and your first place position and stuff it. His message came with 1:40 « left in the game. The six-foot-two Dayton calmy grabbed the ball on a pass from a teammate and jammed it through the basket to add insult on the| Gators 65-46 victory over the McHenry Warriors Friday Night at the South Gym. The loss was the first for the Warriors in Fox Valley play and ties them with South in second place with 4-1 records. The Warriors are 6v6 overall. Theliig story, however, for the Warriors was not being able to stop six-foot-four forward Butch Witt. The fifth leading Fox Valley Scorer poured in 27 points. He cfne in with a 15.7 scoring average in the FVC. jThe majority of Witt's points aid South combined came form tlje inside. J'He is the reason we played z£ied," said Warrior Coach, Ken Lfdwig. "The reason we played mian-to-man is that Peterson is a liftle slow in there. >"We got killed on the boards aid we quit hitting from the oitside. We just don't have a good iipside game. But, give Crystal l£ke South some credit. They tightened up the outside shooting wfth the zone. The key to the bftllgame was free throws and rebounding." >The Warriors only hit on six fjee throws on li attempts, while S^Hith made 11 free throws on 15 attempts. jThe Warriors took a quick 4-2 tyad, but South quickly came bjbck and took the lead at 8-4. The tyarriors came back and tied South at eight, but that would be tjke closest the Warriors would «jyer come to the Gators, r A couple Warrior turnovers insulted in a South 17-10 lead and t a Ludwig timeout. The quarter ended with the Warriors down 19- 10. Randy Lively hit on a basket at the start of the second quarter, but South continued to hold its comfortable lead. The Warriors went into half time behind 32-27. The third quarter was no dif­ ferent as the Gators outscored the Warriors 10-6 and took a 47-33 lead into the last quarter. "Hitting outside shots is our game and our second half shooting fell off. Along with that was ball handling," said Ludwig. "It was a good ballgame for three quarters." The good ball game turned into a route in the fourth quarter as the Warriors seemed to run out of gas. The Warriors did start the last quarter , with a small of­ fensive spurt. Eight straight points scored by Steve Babb, Gary Freund and Mark Peterson put the Warriors within striking distance at 49-41 with six minutes still remaining. But the party was over as South outscored McHenry in those remaining minutes 16-5. Included in that spurt was Dayton's stuff which brought on rousing cheering from the home crowd. Ludwig blamed the fourth quarter collapse on gambling. "When it turned into a 20 point game, we had to gamble. The only chance we had was to gamble." The Warriors did get beat soundly, but Ludwig doesn't believe his team is that inferior to the Gators and the next time around might be different. "I thought we could beat them. I thought we had a very good chance. I think it well be very different the next time around." Bill Herrmann was the only Warrior in double scoring with 10 points. Lively scored eight points and handed out four assists, while Steve Babb scored seven points and gave out six assists. The McHenry Plaindealer Lady Warriors Edge Jacobs In FVC Opener DICK RABBITT In a typical Saturday night ballgame, after both teams played a tough conference game the night before, the Warriors lost to Fremd, of Palatine, 48-36. Forty-three turnovers took place in the game with the visiting Vikings committing 23 to the Warriors' 20. Fremd beat Barrington 67-55 in " the Mid-Suburban North on Friday night, and the Warriors lost to the Gators of Crystal Lake South, 65-46. The Saturday night game at West Campus started out as if it would be a scoreless game throughout, but the Vikings got on the board and Billy Herrmann countered with two baskets and at 5:15 it wtfs a tie at four apiece. Then the Vikings ran off eight unanswered points to grab a 12-4 lead at the end of the period. Talk in press row, that there would be more turnovers than baskets in the game, proved correct in the final tally. Gary Freund came into the Warrior lineup and grabbed two quick baskets and Herrmann's four charity tosses were the only Warrior scoring, until Mike Bauml countered with two baskets in the last minute to keep the Warriors within eight, 24-18. The third period saw Herr­ mann with two buckets to keep the Warriors within reach and then the Warriors got the ball inside to Mark Peterson. The big guy had three quick baskets to pull within four at the 5:00 mark. Fremd then went into a four- corner offense, holding the Warriors scoreless the last four minutes of the--period as the Vikings managed a mere three points to lead 33-26. Still maintaining the four- corner offense , the Warriors managed to stay within striking distance and brought the margin within two with less than three minutes to play. A missed rebound shot led to a Viking basket and a surge that gave the (Continued on pogo 7) CALL US ABOUf OUR TOP QUALITY-BEEF SIDES, STEAKS, GROUND BEEF & ROASTS 5 LB.

Led by Greta Larsen's 10 points and Re nee Mez- zano'sr [tenacious defense, •. the Lady Warriors downed Jacobs 33-30. The game was exciting throughout as the lead changed hands numerous times. Jacobs outscored McHenry in the first and third quarters and the Lady Warriors captured the second and fourth. McHenry was, in fact, behind 4-10 at, the end of the first quarter... However, the second quarter showed vast improvement as the Lady Warriors outscored Jacobs 9 to 6, bringing the score within three points. Greta Larsen made three free throws and Terri Blume, Lynn Podpora and Andee Norton scored two points each. This • brought the Warriors within three points at the half, which ended 16-13 in favor of Jacobs. It was Jacobs' turn again in the third quarter as the Golden Eagles shot an 8 to 6 advantage Although the third quarter showed much im­ provement all around, it was not enough to give McHenry the lead as they trailed 24-19. McHenry's pressing defense kept the Jacobs girls off balance and did not allow them to expand their lead. Hie fourth quarter was a whole new ballgame for the Lady Warriors Renee Mezzano's outstanding defense caused at least a dozen turnovers, which greatly reduced Jacobs' scoring potential. The Lady Warriors outscored the Golden Eagles, 14 to 6. The outcome was still in doubt with less than three minutes left in the fourth quarter when Sara Prust connected with a three point play to jut ^Henry irvthe lead. From, there $n in it was all McHenry. * Greta Larsen was high scorer with 10 points, Terri Blume followed with seven, and Renee Mezzano, Deb Koerber and Sara Prust each had four points. Koerber was top rebounder with 13. The second game on Saturday was a different story as the Lady Warriors lost to the Dundee Cardunals. Playing behind a 25-point effort by the Car­ dunals' Dede Holt, the Warriors fell 66-31. The Lady Warriors fought gamely in the first half, at one point closing the gap to six points. Dundee's height, speed and overall strength proved to be too much for the McHenry girls, however. With the score showing 16-10, Dundee ran off 12 unanswered points and that was pretty much the game. The best McHenry could do was to score 18 points against the Cardunals, 32. The second half turned from a struggle to frustration as the Lady Warriors attempted to avert a complete disaster. The Warriors' shooting went cold. McHenry picked up only five points in the third quarter and a total of only 15 points in the second half as compared to the 34 recorded by Dundee. The Warrior rebounding was almost non-existent as Dundee out-rebounded them almost 3 to 1. "Other than shooting, the rebounding hurt us," said Coach Pat Wirtz. "Size for size, we were just no match for them." The girls' frustration continued as they continued, to pass to the wrong teammates, throwing the ball away and blowing potential scoring op­ portunities. "We've got to work On patience and execution. As far as shooting goes, we" need to gain consistency. I can un­ derstand the girls' frustration. Some things happened that weren't they're fault? but they must overcome this," Wirtz said. Although the Warriors lost this game, they showed improvement at certain points of the game, as they have in prevous games. "Overall, they're looking good and I can see areas of improvement in _ every game,*0 <-the coach said <; in Ljj summary. The Warriors will be back on the road this week, attempting to improve their .500 record, taking on the Vikings of Crown, at Carpentersville. They will return for a much needed break as they play a non-conference game on Saturday against Antioch. Central Survies Overtime Game With Woodstock Shaw Media News Service CRYSTAL LAKE--"I'm a little hot right about now," said Crystal Lake Central basketball coach Arnie Kay. It wasn't anger. It was nerves. The Tigers had just pulled out an overtime victory against Woodstock, 59-53. "We knew it was going to be a tough one," assistant coach Tom Wensch added. "Woodstock is agressive, they've got good defense and they can score." The Blue Streaks jumped out to an eight point lead early, but the Tigers battled back to within one point at the end of the first quarter, on the shooting of Jim Lerum and Rusty Beck. Lerum, a senior, 6-2 forward, collected 20 points on the night. Senior guard Beck, added 15. Woodstock led 24-19 at the half, thanks to great inside shooting by 6-4 junior Brad Hutter. But Hutter's aggressive play cost him fouls He played sparingly in the third quarter and only one minute of the fourttf ' quarter before fouling outT Nonetheless he contributed 10 points. Blue Streak coach Gordie Tebo said the loss of a second first-stringer was a major key to his team's defeat, A top shooter and point guard, senior Mark Rigby, is out for the season with a torn leg ligament.
