PAGE C - PLAINDEALER • FRIDAY. MAY 27.1863 Double& Team Sets Goal At Four For State Tennis in the Chicago area is very competitive. So competitive, tennis players jalify for the nigh school state meet r set goals of number of wins, rather than a champion. Kevin Burgess 'and Scott Rhode are representing McHenry at the state tennis meet at Arlington Heights this weekend. They qualifed by taking the number one doubles sectional title at Crystal Lake. Their goal is set at a certain number of wins. The most wins a McHeriry tennis player or players have ever earned at the state meet was tour. Burgess and Rhode, as well as Coach Gary Gray, would like to match that accomplishment. "If they go out their and play loose, they can do it," says a confident Gray. This will be Rhode's, second appearnace at state, while Burgess' first. Like last year, Rhode played singles all' season until the and then switched to doubles. This number one single the sectionals at Crystal Lake. Gray, like secti year, Rhode played ies until e in the past, made the singles-doubles adjustments as a strategy of earning more team points and giving the Warrior players a better chance in qualifying. Burgess played number one doubles all season. One might think a lot of adjusting has to be done between a singles player ana a doubles player who was use to a different partner. Gray Athletes Of The Week Kevin Burgess Scott Rhode admitted a lot of adjustment is needed, but both players compliment each other so well, it's worth it 'Scott is an experienced doubles player and a smart player. There are pluses and minuses," said Gray. "Kevin has a left hand sleek style serve ana sets up Scott at the net. Scott has a powerful serve. He sets up Kevin who is very quick. They really compliment each other. Both cover the court very well." Both players are seniors and both said they understand each other's game and have been working together with no problems. Taking the doubles tide at the sectionals proved that. "We've went out in sectionals with ability more or less," said Rhode. "We have been practicing together. He knows my weaknesses and I know his." Rhode said his big strength is the forearm and the bade hand cross court. Rhode says those strengths compliment's Burgess, N>»ause it lets him play around the net be eels more confident. "lvly weakness is the backhand," said Burgess. "Scott tells me to move around. Other teams key on my backhand." Rhode plans to attend the University of Nevada-Las Vegas next fall and major in hotel management. Rhode says he will attempt to try out for the team: If he doesn't make it, he will tryout for the badminton team. Burgess has his sights on Southern Illinois University and will also tryout for the tennis team. Burgess And Rhode Only Locals To State Congratulations to Scott Rhode and Kevin Burgess of Gary Gray's McHenry High Tennis team, who qualified for the state doubles this weekend at Arlington Heights. Although the Warriors placed second to defending champion Crystal Lake South, these two were the only locals to get to the state finals. Although the competition will be tough, Warrior fans wish them the very best this weekend. Pat Wirtz's Lady Warriors after an opening round win over the Skyhawks of Johnsburg, will meet Jacobs here tomorrow night in the second round of the Johnsburg regional Softball tourney. If the Ladies continue tneir fine play, they could meet Crystal Lake South again. This would be a game you would not want to miss. Brian Wilson's baseball Warriors were at Rockford Boylan for a regional game on Tuesday. The winner would play at Rockford Guilford on Thursday. The Warriors were greatly improved over last season finishing rath in Pox Valley play, and only a few seniors on the squad. We expect great things next season. The Softball situation at McHenry is very promising for th" "oming years. Gary Trembley's frosh-soph squid went undefeated this past season. With only two seniors on Wirtz's varsity, maybe a Fox Valley Conference championship is in order for next ear. The Warriors just missed out this season one game. Coach Dan Boland, who I personally think did a fine job this season with boys and girls track teams, did not have a state qualifier. Several of the members of both squads had the opportunity to qualify, but with a lot of people competing in the sectionals, it was just too much to ask this season. However, next year should be a different story, as experience will be a big Warrior factor. ****** A big change in the McHenry County track meet will take place in a couple of years. For years some of the coaches, including Dan On The Sidelines By Dick Rabbitt 5 Boland, has said the meet should be held at an earlier date. It has been held for many years on the Monday following the district. The meet was held last Monday with the Warriors in a very disappointing sixth place. In 1985, the meet will be held four weeks earlier. In the Monday meet, athletes were just going through the motions. Those who qualified for state, were worried about an injury, and those who didn't qualify, couldn't care less. It was simply poor timing for a track meet, but in 1065 it should be like the good old days when everyone pointed for the county meet ****** I sincerely hope this is not going to be a one man crusade, but if it is, so be it. I am talking about McCracken Field. Since the field was named after the GAND OLD MAN OF MCHENRY ATHLETICS, nowhere is to be seen a sign honoring this fine gentleman at any place in or near the field It has been in thje vicinity of 25 years since I was invited to the dedicatiohof the field in honor of "Mac". As of this writing, a stranger would think it was just another football and baseball field in the community. I think it is about time some groups in the community stand up and be noticed about this misgiving. Former Warriors, service dubs, the present Booster Club, the school board, and friends of "Mac", let's get die ball rolling. Surely we can do something about this miscarriage of justice during the past 25 years. There are signs at Crystal Lake honoring Owen Mectalfe, at Woodstock honoring Larry Dale, at Harvard honoring Dan Home; let's get one at McHenry honoring Leonard McCracken. I will help in any way. Just give me a call, but let's get the job done before the next football season. 5 !'• if. ' ,r, '• The McHeriry Plaindealer 2 \ if • . ^ t i l ! anaig fii ' ??

While she was performing so well, on the hole ahead, number 17, Bettie Rode was having one of her golfing only other base hit for Jack's Snack Shop. Little John's 15 Taylor Made Golf 5 Little John's used an eight run sixth to put away Taylor Made Golf 15-5 and remain in second place.

Not too many of the gals it M t nice thittgs ^Wfere' hav­ ing, Kathryn Bolger was spotted iding quite a lot of time in and aroundUie water on number eight and Mary Mutchinsky was tilting at the water pump on number 12. Liz Nolan found some of her troubles in the sand traps, while someone else found hers in the tree tops and trunks. It was reported to be Betty Phalen, since she was seen crying quite a bit. | Nicer notes from the Nifty Niners show that Dorothy Flynn was the winner in their five-best-holes event, followed by Gloria Sprague in second place. Low putts were rolled in by the three Lorraines; L. Gausden with 15, L. Young with 16 and L Loeb with 17. L. Young also had a nifty chip-in on number seven from thirty yards out. Now, why can't we all do that? The voice of doom and gloom records that the traveling team went to Bonnie Brook in Waukegan on Friday, and ate a very large piece of humble pie. A resounding defeat of one to eight gets their loss of the season out of the way so they can concentrate on being winners in the ensuing matches. The next scheduled match is this Friday at Lake Bluff. Go, team, go! Monday, Peoria Country Club hosted the annual Tournament of Champions, fielding 72 women from the Northern Illinois area who are or have been champions at their respective clubs.
