STAFF PHOTO -- MIKE LAMB Warrior Wrestlers Finish A Disappointing Sixth At FVC ALGONQUIN - The McHenry Warriors wanted to place third at the Fox Valley Conference meet held at Jacobs High School Friday and Saturday, but the Warriors found out early that might be out of reach. The Warriors finished in sixth place with 68 points. Woodstock, Crystal Lake South and Crown jumped off early to claim the first three places. When it was all over, Woodstock was the champion with 205V;> points, South second at 182Vfe points and Crown third with 172'£ points. There was a two- way tie for fourth at 76 points between Cary-Grove and Dundee. Crystal Lake Central with 56 points and Jacobs with 41 points brung up the rear. The Warriors were only four points out of fourth place before the finals, but failed to win a championship match. Warrior Coach Marty Sobczak was not too pleased with the outcome. "Even though only eight points from fourth, the best we could have done, I'm not happy at all." Four Warrior wrestlers survived the first round and advanced and two made it to the finals Saturday night. Mike Love and Bob Sarabia both lost iheir championship matches to finish second. During the wrestlebacks, John Clewis won his match to take a .third and Tom Wrona took a fourth. "All the place finishers did an ex cellent job getting the job done," said Sobczak. Some of the wrestlers who should have done better, given ^another opportunity, could do better. I «don't see any lessening of their con fidence. Some of them are upset •enough to try harder. v "South really came in to win the thing and maybe we set our sights to 4ow."

Ludwig watched his Warriors battle back from a 50-46 third quarter deficit and several fourth quarter ties, to finally pull it out. "It was a fun game to coach," said Ludwig. "It was a real good one. The guys made some mistakes, but some honest mistakes." Yes, the Warriors did make some mistakes, while playing a very aggressive pressure game, but they didn't make any mistakes at the free throw line. The game was just about won and lost on the line. The Warriors had 19 free tries at the basket in the fourth quarter and made 13 of them. That was compared to the Blue Streaks nine attempts, making only two. Mike Bauml led the Warriors on the line, hitting on eight of the Warriors 13 free throws in the fourth on 10 at tempts. Bauml scored the winning points for the Warriors with two free throws. The Warriors made 25tfree throws on 31 attempts for 80 percent. "It was a real funny game," said Ludwig. "There were so many fouls called and so many substitutes. Our substitutes came in and did a good job." The game started as a low scoring affair. Jamie Eriksen shot at the buzzer put Woodstock just one point behind, 11-10, at the end of the first quarter. Eriksen continued to be a pain for the Warriors throughout the game as he scored 19 points for the Blue Streaks. Eriksen seemed to turned the tide for the Steaks, as they outscored the Warriors 10-4 to start the second quarter and took a 20-15 lead. The Warriors battled back the whole half, but Woodstock stubbornly held them back. The Half ended 33-30 Wood stock. The Warriors made several charges in the third quarter to challenge for the lead. A Mark Peterson shot put the Warriors within one point at 35-34, but Woodstock held and built up another four point lead. The Warriors came within one point again on Randy Lively's two straight baskets on fastbreaks to make the score 43-42. But, again Woodstock truned back the Warriors and built up a seven point lead. Jim Jablonski was one of the Warrior substitutes that helped during the winning surge. His basket at the end of the third quarter sparked a Warrior flurry that gave the Warriors the lead. Jablonski's basket immediately at the start of the final quater and one free throw and a basket after a rebound by Lively gave the Warriors a 51-50 lead with seven minutes left to play. After that, the game was tied up three times and the lead changed hands two times. The Warriors took the lead for good, 61-59, on two free throws by Bauml. Herrmann follwed with two free throws and Woodstock took a timeout with a 1:07 left and the Warriors up, 63-59. Herrmann connected on two more free throws before Greg _Bradshaw connected for Woodstock. Bauml made his winning free throws and Eriksen hit on a long jumper and the Warriors had a 67-63 lead with only 20 seconds left in the game. Warrior fans thought they had the game wrapped up, singing goodbye to the Blue Streaks, but it was too soon to claim victory. Eriksen hit on a basket and was fouled. He missed the free throw shot and the Warriors had a slim 67-65 lead with 11 seconds. During a loose ball scuffle, Peterson fouled Brad Hutter of Woodstock, putting him on the line. But, the 6-foot- 3 Blue Streak missed the one-and-one free throw attempt and Bradshaw fouled Corey Scott on the rebound with six seconds left. Scott missed the free throw, but the ball was knocked out- of-bounce by a Blue Streak player. Bradshaw then fouled Jablonski with two seconds left, but Woodstock failed to score after Jablonski's missed two free throws. Steve Babb led Warrior scoring with 15 points and Lively scored 14.

He went on to decision Kevin Madden of Dundee, 10- 2, but lost to Woodstock's Joe Rizzo in the championship match. The weekend action improved his overall record to 19-9-1. Sarabia was seeded second in the 126-pound weight class and that's were he finished. He defeated Randy Peshek of Jacobs 3-1 and Pat Hughes of Cary-Grove 8-3. He then lost to eventual FVC champion Bill Rich of Woodstock. Sarabia improved his record to 18-8. Clewis earned his third place in the heavyweight class, after having wrestled at 185-pounds for most of the season. He decisioned Jim Ohlinger of Dundee 8-3 in the first round, but lost to the eventual champion, Ed Holz- man of Crystal Lake South 4-3. In the consolation match, Clewis beat Dan Voltz of Cary-Grove 3-2 to capture third place. Wrona, a freshmen who only recently has been in the varsity lineup, pinned Shawn Londrie. of Crystal Lake South in 3:35 during the first round of the 105-pound weight class. He lost to second place winner Todd Borchardt of Woodstock, 8-0, in the next round and dropped down to the wrestle back lineup. There, Wrona won a 15-6 overtime match over Dan Prather of Cary-Grove, 5-2, and then lost the consolation match to Dan Schneider of Dundee, 7-4. "Both Sarabia and Love were a pleasant surprise," said Sobczak. "I expected them to be there and I was pleased to see them there. John Clewis was a real pleasant surprise. I thought he would do good. Wrona finishing that well was a real bonus for us. "You like to see seniors like Love and Clewis make it, being their last time, but it's real nice to see freshmen and sophmores make it because it sets you up for the next tournament and the next season." BARB ANSELL JOHNSBURG -- The Johnsburg Skyhawks came close twice to claiming a victory, but both times the 'Hawks watched the game slip through their hands. On Friday, a careless mistake cost the Skyhawks the game as Wauconda defeated the 'Hawks 57-55. Again on Saturday, the 'Hawks were held back by Antioch, losing 52-49. They are now 1-9 in the Northwest Suburban Con ference and 6-13 overall. Skyhawk Coach Ben Beck agreed Friday's game had its ups and downs, i "We shot very well in the first and fourth quarters, and then passed up good opportunities during the second quarters." Johnsburg did shoot well, capitalizing on Wauconda's missed shots. However, the Bulldogs stuck to the 'Hawks by scoring on several Johnsburg turnovers. But, it was an offensive rebound by Greg Sobiesk in the final second which put the Skyhawks ahead 17-14 in the first quarter. The change in the Skyhawks during the second quarter was not for the best. Not only did their shooting percentage drop, but the Skyhawks blew two shots on John Wharton's steals. The Bulldogs tied the score at - 17-17 and later moved into the lead on four trips to the free-throw line. At halftime it was the Bulldogs up 28-26. The third quarter wasn't much better for the Skyhawks. Coupled with poor shooting and multiple turnovers, the Bulldogs pulled ahead 43-36. Now down by seven points, the Johnsburg fans came to life. "The Johnsburg fans were fantastic. They got fired up and refused to let the guys quit," said Beck. With help of the hearty fans, the 'Hawks tied the score at 55-55 with only 1:22 remaining. The Skyhawks worked the ball using up the time left on the clock. But when Jeff Jayko attempted to put the ball in bounce with 36 seconds left, Wharton stepped back too far, giving Wauconda the ball on an over-and-back violation. Wauconda's Mark Morris proceeded to drive the ball down court to put up the final shot. The bucket broke the tie and gave the Bulldogs the win with only four seconds left in the game. Beck felt the Skyhawks took themselves out of the game. "Wauconda did not take our win away, we just didn't get things going early enough. We didn't survey the situation or read the defense well enough." Leading the Skyhawks effort were Jeff Preston with 16 and Tom Meehan 14, scoring four of the last nine points. Although the Skyhawks spent most of theit^game against Antioch down by nine points and then coming within five points, the drive once again came in the end of the fourth quarter. But the drive came too late. The Skyhawks switched to man-to man defense with three minutes left in the game. The close pressure forced Antioch to foul Johnsburg, sending them to the line. The free-throw op- portunties were used well by the 'Hawks who brought the score within three points. Antioch made a key interception from the Skyhawks with just 30 seconds left, but the 'Hawks battled back within two points as the clock ticked down to seven seconds. The 'Hawks fouled Antioch with six seconds left, hoping to take a rebound, but the first one-and-one shot was good to ice the Ram's win. Beck felt several problems hurt the 'Hawks thoughout the game. "Early in the second quarter we lost Jeff Preston to an ankle injury. We also missed several break-away layups and Jeff Fowler, who is normally our John Clewis earned a third place in the heavyweight class for the Warriors during the Fox Valley Conference meet • • r • • I • 1 •F , SALE ENDS ^ 1 F I % t J m C •• SATURDAY Mm MARCH 5th at Jacobs High School.

'Hawks Hurckes Fourth At NWSC Meet GRAYSLAKE -- Mike Hurckes at 132-pounds was the only Johnsburg Skyhawk wrestler to advance beyond first round action of the Northwest Suburban Conference wrestling meet at Grayslake High School Saturday. He scored all of the Skyhawks seven total points. The Skyhawks finished last in the meet. Antioch captured the NWSC championship with 206 points, followed by Warren 116, Wauconda 113%, Grant 81%, Grayslake 77, Lake Zurich 62% and Round Lake "We knew we be in the bottom bracket. We knew we wouldn't be too successful with our young wrestlers," said Don March, coach of the Skyhawks. Hurckes defeated Terry Boyd of Grayslake 6-1 in the first round. Bi^t, he lost to the number one rated 132- pound wrestler in the state, Tad DeRousse of Antioch 17-3. He rebounded from that loss and defeated Jamie Marchols of Round Lake 9-4. He was eliminated by Bob Mar- schewski of Lake Zurich 8-5. March was pleased with Hurckes performance, but wanted to see him advance further then he did. "It depends a lot oh seeding. He was seeded fourth and being in the top bracket he had to wrestle Tad DeRousse right away. I thought the best he could do was second or third, but he ended up with a fourth." Bulldogs Dominate Skyhawk Girls WAUCONDA - The Johnsburg Skyhawk girls' basketball team was crushed by the Wauconda Bulldogs 70- 15 during Northwest Suburban Con ference action Saturday. The loss drops the Skyhawk record to 0-8 in the NWSC and 3-10 overall. Skyhawk coach, Nancy Fahey, said the Bulldogs used a press until the fourth quarter to jump out to the large lead. Kathy Butler led Skyhawk scoring with eight points. JHS Pizza Sale Johnsburg High School, through the Athletic Booster Club, is having their second pizza sale of the year.
