Water Warriors Pour It On In Second Half In any sport, a team has to score to win, but defense can be the difference in any close game. The McHenry Warrior water polo team proved it in their first game of the season and then last Wednesday. The Water Warriors broke 7-7 first half tie and defeated Evanston 13-10 at the West Campus pool. It was the Warriors second win of the season and their record stands at 2-1. The Warriors only loss came at St. Viator last Monday after two over­ times and a sudden death, 11-10. The Warriors were without their number one scorer, Bob Schaffer. The game was tied at 9-9 after regulation and 10-10 after one over­ time. The winning goal was scored three minutes into the sudden death. Darren Cepulis and Rich Miller led Warrior scoring with three goals a piece. Cepulis also had three assists and seven steals. r "Their top scorer only scored four fioals in the first half and was held to [two the last half. That really made a " ference," said Mike Shanahan on is team's second win. Evanston's big scorer was Andrew Alapolious. He helped his team keep ce in the first half with the Warriors. Miller scored the first goal jof the game and then Alapolious tied the score. But Miller came right back nd Alapolious repeated. The back- and-forth match continued in the first uarter, ending in a 4-4 tie. Again Miller scored the go-ahead goal, but Evanston came right back to tie it. Cepulis, this time got the Warriors the lead back. The last tie was at 7-7 and Cepulis' goal with about two minutes left in the half, gave the Warriors the lead for good. Cepulis scored one more goal before the half ended and the Warriors took a 9-7 lead into the second half. Evanston scored quickly in the third quarter, but Miller and Schaffer responded with goals of their own. Schaffer scored on a break-away. Evanston responded with a timeout with l :30 leit in the quarter. After the timeout, the Warriors went into a stall and the time ran out in the quarter. With victory in sight, Schaffer added some insurance with a goal to start the fourth quarter. Schaffer would score one more, to offset Evantson's two goals. The Warriors played without the services of their top defensive specialist John Clewis. Clewis decided to quit the team because of other commitments. "With Clewis gone we have to depend on Brad Shavers and Mike Fritz," said Shanahan. "They are not scorers for us necessarily. But they have to play very good defense." Shanahan said the big difference of the game was the steals and turnovers figures. The Warriors committed eight turnovers, but offset that with 18 steals. Cepulis led the Warriors in steals with six. Shanahan was also very pleased with effort of John Neumann who played the whole game at goalie. Against St. Viator, Neumann turned back 23 attempts. A Season Of Disappointment And ^H^art There was disappointment in the expectation department, but not in heart. That seemed to be the message given by all four varsity coaches Tuesday night at East Campus for the Sports Award night. All fouR coaches seemed to have had their share of disappointment and pleasure to tell. Boys basjretball coach Ken Ludwig headed the list of coaches. "We started out with a lot of hope and expectations. I think we set our expectations to high," said Ludwig on his 9-16 Warriors. "The thing for us in the conference, was we came so close to being co-champions." The game Ludwig pointed to which would have shot his team in that direction was the Jacobs game. It was a game the Warriors had plenty of chances to win, including two free throws with two seconds left. "If we would have won that one, three of us would have been in first place. No telling what would have happened after that." One bright spot for Ludwig was the play of senior Bill Herrmann. Not only did he garner a spot on the all-conference team and all-county team, the 6-foot-3 forward captured the teams most valuable player. Tim Schmitt. was honored as the mast improved player. Ludwig also pointed to a tough non- conference schedule. "We had the toughest non-conference schedule of any McHenry team We didn't put any patsies on has ever playe< the schedule." Ludwig ended by saying he firmly believed his team could have won the conference. » » » » » » » Girls basketball coach, Pat Wirtz, had his share of disappointments and pleasure. "In any season, any sport, any coacnj_ a coach must Sport Talk Mike Lamb Sports Editor look back at the season and look past the record." Wirtz said his team, despite key injuries and illness, collected it's share of wins and upsets. "They never gave up which a key to success." Wirtz added that the girls program is pointed towards the right direction. He reported that the freshmen and sophomore teams won more games this season than the past seasons combined. Terri Blume was picked as the Lady Warriors most valuable player and Renee Mezzano and Kelly Brough were picked as the most improved players. ******* Boys swimming coach, Mike Shanahan said he was very proud of his teams season. He reported that four of his swimmers were able to claim spots on the top 10 swimming events board. They were Tony Davis, Rich Miler, Rob Schaefer and Darren Cepulis. Rich Miller captured the most valuable player award and Greg Hall most improved. Marty Sobczak's wrestling team also had it's ups and downs. "Our season up to Christmas was very good. The fact we didn't have a very good season after that I will take the blame for it." " • If Sobczak is to take some blame for the poor finish, he should probably take some credit Tor the success of some of his wrestlers in the post­ season. Sobczak took five wrestlers from the regionals to the sectionals. Sobczak said that was the most Warrior wrestlers to go that far. Those wrestlers were Mike Lo/e, John Clewis, Russ Bunday, Tom Wrona and Ric Connor. Sobczak beamed when he said that only two those five were seniors and the other three are either freshmen or sophomores. Mike Love was the wrestler's most valuable and Eric Gaza was most improved.
