Guards Ken Haldeman and Tom Popovich connected on several outside shots on key passes from Greg Halverson to pull MCC within three points of the Trojans, 41-38 at the half. As the second half got underway, it was the sharp shooting of Halverson which kept the Scots in the Bme. And while Halverson bucketed three back-to-ck field goals, Rob McMahon worked the ball into Geary Smith for several back-door lay-ups. But desite MCC's consistency and patience on offense, the defense was held at distinct disadvantage. "We rebound well against the tall Trojan team," said Harbecke. "Our five players slowly wore down and allowed Rock Valley to dominate the final minutes of the game," said Harbecke. "But we mentally played as a team and enjoyed ourselves while we were doing it." Halverson led the Scots in double sewing with 21 points, followed by Popovich with 16, Haldeman 14, Smith 10 and McMahon 10.

BARB ANSELL HARVARD -- The Johns burg Lady Skyhawk basketball team closed out their season with a painful loss to the North Boone Vikings 35-27, in the first round of Harvard's girls basketball regional*. ? • , Despite the eight point difference in the final score, not only did the Sky hawks dominate much of the game, but they also led until the final minutes of the fourth quarter. 'We hit the panic button in the last quarter," said a disappointed Skyhawk Coach Nancy Fahey " That panic caused us to break con­ centration and force us into making costly turnovers." Johns burg had gone into the fourth quarter ahead of the Vikings 26-22, but found themselves unable to follow thru on the. attack. Instead, the Vikings rallied to throw the Skyhawks plans into chaos. A key steal from Skyhawk Kelly Hart, by North Boone's Shelley Dowel] turned into a three-point play. Dowell passed off to her teammate Val Myers, who drove the ball in for the lay-up. Myers' bucket was good and so was the bonus shot, which put the Vikings within one point of the Skyhawks' 26-25 lead. Myers again assisted in the next Viking possession when she passed to Viking Wendy Reimer for the shot which gave North Boone their first lead of the game 27-26, with five minutes left to play. While the Vikings' offense picked up steam and accuracy, the Skyhawks began to loose control as they were unable to connect on any of their field goal attempts from the floor. Skyhawk Sheri Scavo managed to score the only Johns burg point of the fourth quarter on tho second shot of a two shot foul. The 'Hawks one and only point came with less than two minutes to go, and was not enough to match the Vikings 13 points. Fahey said a lack of adjustment by the Skyhawks added to the downfall, "North Boone made a defensive change for the second half and we just didn't adjust. "We need to penetrate their zone and work the ball inside, but we simply didn't execute," she added. The Skyhawks opened up the game looking as if their were ready to sweep the contest without an argument. The 'Hawks stepped out in front with a SI.

And while the defense continued to shut down the Vikings from the floor during the second quarter, mounting fouls against the Skyhawks gave North Boone their first chance to threaten ~the 'Hawks. But ih{ Skyhawks held together to take the 16* 14 half-time lead. Neither the Skyhawks or the Vikings were able to obtain an outstanding shot percentage from the floor. The Skyhawks shooting 23 nercent and the Vikings with the help of their fourth quarter effort managing only 25 percent. The biggest difference came in the free-throw catagory which saw the Skyhawks sinking three-out-of-four shots from the charity stripe. While the Vikings made only nine buckets on 23 attempts. Leading the Skyhawks in their scoring efforts were Michelle Swartzloff and Theresa Hauck both with six points each, and Cindy Guetzloff and Kathy Butler adding four points. The Vikings Myers led all scorers with 14 points. Hauck and Guetzloff were Skyhawks leading rebounders, with 12 and nine rebounds respectively. Fahey praised the outstanding effort shown by senior Cindy Guet­ zloff. "Guetzloff played a very solid game, both on offense and defense. She got out there and hustled and fought for her rebounds. I wish I had more girls with her dedication and effort." Fahey admitted the season had been tough, as she concluded her first year as head coach with a 5-15 overall record, but says she is already looking towards next year. "We are a young club, and we have had plenty to learn this year. But we've come a long way and it has been a building year." Fahey hopes that with continued practice with the girls throughout the summer at camps and clinics, next year's team will be even better. Correction In last Friday's issue, it was incorrectly stated in the Johnsburg girls' basketball story that Theresa Hauck made the winning shot against Grayslake. Kathy Butler actually made that shot and Hauck was credited with the assist. The Romans named the Mediterranean Sea.

Karpavicius was an all-FVC performer last season and the whole team was looking for a big year out of her. The injury, according to Wirtz, '^took the wind right out of their sails. A couple players came in and tried to fill in for her, like seniors Debbie Ifoerber, Terri Bhnne. Kelly Brough Cissy Pinkstaff and Lynne Podpora. • Fate was not exactly in the Warriors favor drawing South in the first game of the regional. The Sfamors did get a trial run, playing two games. The Warriors only made 10 of 34 free throw attempts. Monday, the Warriors made 10 of 13 attempts. "South is a good ballchib. They're quick." Wirtz added that Karpavicius did a great job scoring and rebounding from the inside. * Sooth blew the game wide open earlyun the third quarter.
