It was the Lady Skyhawk's who captured the cham­ pionship, defeating Richmond 36-26 in the fourth annual Girls Varsity Basketball Tournament over the weekend It was not only the first win of the Lady Skvhawks' season, but the first time Johnsburg had won' the tournament Johnsburg hosted the "round robin tournament" which included Alden- Hebron. North Boone and Richmond. But, when the final match came on Saturday night, it was the rivalry between the Richmond Rockets who had a 10-2 record coming into the tournament against the Skyhawks, with both teams having 2-0 tour­ nament records. Earlier in the day, both Johnsburg and Richmond had decisive victories over their opponets. Johnsburg rolled over Alden-Hebron 55-28 and Rich­ mond dumped North Boone 53-28. In the opening round action Thur­ sday night, Richmond pounded Alden- Hebron 52-18 and) Johnsburg downed North Boone 43-^8 The final gsme became a contest of determination and endurance. Fahey felt the win was well earned. "The girls are improving. They've come a long way by working hard and they deserve to win." The three wins for Johnsburg, raise their overall record to 3-5. The battle to the top was not an easy one for the Skyhawks who were forced to take a back seat early in the first quarter. Although the 'Hawks Kathy Butler scored the first two points in the game for Johnsburg, Richmond responded with a three point play by Donna Klien. The Rockets promptly proceeded to shut down the Skyhawks' offense until the final minute of the quarter and out-rebounded the 'Hawks three-to-one. This allowed Richmond the first quarter lead 10-7. Reversing the mistakes of the first quarter became the Skyhawks second quarter goal. The first change was seen as the Hawk defense began to" clamp down with Jean Pierce making sure Richmond's Klien was guarded closely at all times and kept out of the lane In the meantime, Johnsburg's Theresa Hauck clambered to the boards for the many needed rebounds and then used her rebounds to basket the ball twice. Hauck also assisted Michelle Swartzloff on her drive to the basket, where Swartzloff was fouled and made one of her two charity tosses. Despite the improving Skyhawk efforts.it was still the Rockets who possessed the slim 17-15 half-time advantage. ' The key to the game became the defense," said Fahey. "We had to make sure we kept the pressure on Klein and shut down the base-line shots." The half-time strategy worked as Hauck tied the game at 17-17 in the opening minutes of the second half. Richmond again equalled the score at 19-19 when Carolyn White drove in for a lay-up on a pass from Nancy Weber with under four minuje^ remaining. Yet the Skyhawks'were not to be outdone. With almost two minutes to go in the quarter, Swartzloff in­ tercepted a pass from Richmond's Lisa Miller and then took it all the way down for the bucket and the 21-19 lead. * The 'Hawks defense allowed the Rockets just three points on six shots and only four defensive rebounds. Richmond was unable to connect on any field goals and the Skyhawks held them to only five attempts during the entire fourth quarter. Skyhawk's Jane Pecucci and Hauck each added four points in the final quarter Breaking the lead from Richmond's grasp came when Hauck drove intfT the lane where she faked putting the ball up and instead passed off to Pecucci who made the layup in­ creasing the Skyhawk lead to 32-25S Finally, with 47 seconds left in the game. Hauck again drove into the lane alone against three Rockets and not only made the field goal, but also the bonus shot to ice the victory. Fahey said her team displayed more patience and accuracy in their shooting than in their early afternoon game. "It was a total team effort oh defense and Jean Pierce did an out­ standing job." Fahey added her bench played a critical role. "The bench playd most of the afternoon game agains Hebron to allow the starters a break >o they could do their best in the final'game. "And they gave the moral support needed to urge the girls on the floor on The McHenry Plaindeoler 5ports Warriors Raise FVC Mark, But Lose To Zion Zee-bees DIOCRABBITT The McHenry Warriors ran their Fox Valley Conference record to 5-1 with a victory ove^Crown last Friday night by the score "df-65-53. The win enables the Warriors to stay tied with Crystal Lake South for second place, one-game behind Friday night foe Jacobs, who has a 6-0 FVC record. The Warriors playing a team their size, waisted no time after the tipoff, as Randy Livley's quick basket at 7:50 put the Warriors on the board. Mike Bauml and Bill Herrmann began to hit the 15-fpoters and the Warriors led 12- 6 with 3:00 remaining in the period. Then the local crew hit a dry spell and the Vikings came back with a bucket and a charity toss to narrow the margin 12-9 at the period. On Saturday night, the Warriors ran into a hot shooting Zion ZeeBee team and came home on the short end of a 79-60 score. The Warriors'playing a good brand of basketball, could not stop the 70 percent first half shooting of the Zion crew. The hosts rushed out to a 25-12 first period lead and had the Warriors down 46-21 at the in­ termission. "We don't have the killer instinct," said Warrior Coach Ken Ludwig after his defeated Crown. "With a 20 point lead we should have put them away. Instead we let them back in the game when they came to within eight. "I would have liked to clear the bench so all the kids would have a chance to play." Gary Freund's basket, followed by Jim Jablonski's two pointer, put the Warriors up by seven. But Crown came back quickly, until Mark Peterson found the range and then Herrmann, Freund and Bauml all hit the hoop to help the Warriors grab a 10 point margin at intermission, 27-17. Amaiingly. the Warriors held onto the 10 point lead making only 12 of 36 field goal attempts for 33 percent. In the third period, Steve Babb's two baskets that went along with Stocker and Pearson's baskets gave the Warriors a 31-21 lead. Mark Peterson and Bill Herrmann each hit two baskets along with Mike Bauml's 10-footer and at the midway mark in the period, the Warriors increased their lead to 20, 41-21. Peterson then hit on a three point play for the Warriors biggest margin, 44-23 at the two minute point*in the period. Herrmann and Bauml finished the scoring in the period, as the Warriors led 48-30 The fourth qaurter was not one of the Warriors best this season. Mark Szcepanski. the senior forward of the Vikings, began to find the range. He was held scoreless in the first half. The Vikings, behind Szcepanski narrowed the lead to eight, 53-45. Herrmann and Freund were able to get the Warriors back on track with a couple of buckets, then, for several minutes, neither team could muster any scoring until the Vikings began to fofi) to gain possession of the ball. Bauml and Lively each hit two free throws and Gary Freund two baskets in the closing seconds which finished the Warrior scoring with a 65-53 victory. The Warriors did manage to im­ prove their shooting, hitting on 27 field goals on Q5 attempts for 42 percent. Saturday's game was a different strory for the Warriors. After the ZeeBees took the 46-21 halftime lead, the Warriors out-scored the home team 15-12 in the third period and 24-21 in the final period. But the 25 point margin was just too much to over­ come. "Ludwig, however, was pleased with the Warriors. "We played the best offensive team we met this season, their first half shooting was unbelievable. We played them close, but everything they threw up went in the basket." "Outside of some poor shot selec­ tion. I think the kids did a real good job. We played a lot better tonight in losing, than we did last night in beating Crown." Ludwig was also pleased with a few individuals. "Mike Bauml had a good weekend of basketball, but Randy Livley seems to be in a slump. We just can't seem to be consistent. If we can get everyone playing at the same time, we can be tough. "John Wegener came off the bench and got seven points for us which was a big help, and overall I am satisfied with our performance over the weekend. Now we have to prepare for Jacobs next Friday night." The Warriors play at Jacobs Friday night.

CINDIKINSALA The Lady Warriors dropped two games this last week, losing 55-41 to the Crown Vikings on Thursday and 59-41 in a non-conference battle with Antioch on Saturday. The Warriors dropped to 1-2 in the Fox Valley Conference and 2-6 overall. Crown is still unbeaten in the FVC with a 3-0 record. Thursday nights conference title could be best described as two mini- games. The first half being game one, the second half game two. "Our playing has got to be more consistent," said Warrior Coach Pat Wirtz. "We have to play the second half as well as we play the first half. "We played well enough to win, except for free throws." The first half featured Terri Blume's eight point surge as she immediately gave the Warriors a 2-1 lead in the opening seconds. Crown regained the lead, 5-2, before Greta Larsen hit two free throws at the two minute mark and Debbie Koerber followed seconds later with a fine YOUNG HONS KARATE INSTITUTE SPECIAL FUR UEUINNERSI 3 MONTHS SELF-DEFENSE ond UNIFORM, BELT ONL RATE LESSONS, .rt anytime!

At 3:30, Blume hit to tie the score at 9-9 and again with three minutes left to play, to put the Warriors up 11-9 The Vikings then hit for a basket and a free throw before Larsen dunked a basket with a minute left and returned the lead to the Warriors 13-12. Crown hit again with 30 seconds left, but Blume's two pointer at the buzzer gave the Warriors a 15-14 first quarter lead. The second quarter was more of the same, except both defenses tightened up. The Warriors managed only seven points, but their occasional press and 1-2-2 defense held Crown to only 10. The first minute of play was scoreless until Blume hit again at the 1:15 mark to give the Warriors a 17-14 lead. Two-and-half minutes into the quarter, Andee Norton followed a Viking basket with oneof her own to retain a 19-16 advantage. Crown regained the lead before Sara Prust made a great steal and passed to Lynne Podpora. Podpora sunk the layup and a free throw for a three pointer and a 22-22 tie. McHenry then went into a 3-2 defense and the final two minutes of the half showed only one basket by Crown as game one (first half) ended. Crown 24, McHenry 22. Unfortunately, second game (second half), had yet to be played. And unfortunately, that has marred the past Warrior games. "Our board strength is what killed us and we still have not learned to work inside," said Pat Wirtz. The Warriors are missing all-county and all-Fox Valley center, Karen Karpavicius who is still sidelined. Immediately into the second half, Crown scored 10 unanswered points and led 34-24 with four minutes left in - the quarter. McHenry closed to within eight points at 4:15 of the third quarter and that was as close as they could come. At one point in the half, the Vikings built a 17 point led as McHenry never could make up for the 10 point Viking surge at the beginning. Greta Larsen's 12 point offensive surge and Terri Blume's all court play gave Antioch all the^ could handle. McHenry showed a balanced offense with Prust hitting for seven and Renee Mezzano and Terri Blume con­ tributing six each.

Back to free throws, the Warriors showed a dismal eight for 23 irom the line. This is really not even a true picture as numerous attmepts were one-and-one situations and the Warriors couldn't get the second chance. The Warriors hit only eight points in the first quarter to fall behind 17-9 at the start. However, Mezzano, Larsen and Prust scored four points each m the second quarter as McHenry. scored 15 to end the first quarter, -trailing 31-24. The Warriors returned for the second half with Larsen again con­ tributing four, along with Terri Blume's four and closed within five points by the third quarters end. However. McHenry's chances for victory were never.better than in that quarter. The Warriors had narrowed the lead to 35-31 with three minutes left in the fourth. Within the next two minutes. Antioch ran the score to 41-31 as McHenry missed seven consecutive free throws, sinking only two of li for the period.
