PAGE 24 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 7.1963 let's talk McHenry drops FVC opener to Cary Sarabia sets pin mark in Warrior sweep The results are usually better when a team is more prepared. That is exactly what happened to the McHenry wrestling squad. Last weekend, the Warriors lost a pair of matches, mostly because of forfeits, the Warriors were not prepared, according to coach Marty Sobzcak. This weekend his Warriors were prepared and the result was ^ three wins. Friday, McHenry swept a double dual at Cary-Grove, defeating the Trojans 48-15 and whipping Hampshire 55- 12. Ttie Warriors came back on Saturday, hosting Stevenson, winning 31-28. McHenry is now 4-3 overall on the season and 1-0 in the Fox Valley Con­ ference. In the Stevenson match, 132-pound McHenry wrestler Bob Sarabia broke a-echool pin record. Sarabia pinned Scott Gallego in 16 ^seconds. The old record was 19 seconds, made by Mike Zimmerman in 1978. "We're a little better prepared this time," said Sobzcak. "If we would have had kids at weight last weekend it would have been different. But that's water over the dam. The lineup is starting to solidify." Sarabia's pin of Gallego was one of three pins for the senior on the weekend. The three pins raised his record to 7-1 on the season. He pinned Craig French of Cary-Grove and Eric Kingsburg of Hampshire. "He was aiming for it," said Sobczak on Sarabia's pin. "At the weigh-in he asked if he could go for it. I Mid yo. but aa.lopfl as be didn't get himself on his back." In all, the Warriors recorded 14 pins on the weekend. Besides Sarabia, four other Warriors raised their overall winning records of the season. Eric Gaza lost his first match of the season to Stevenson's John Cam- stabilco, 6-0. He was 6-0 before that match. He had pinned Ric Stauffer of Cary- Grove and won on a forfeit against Hampshire. Chris Mann, a sophomore, raised his record to 6-2 with three wins at 98 pounds. He pinned the Trojans Eric Jacobson, while defeating Jeff Ellig of Hampshire 11-1 and Mike Vece of Stevenson 10-2. Russ Bunday at 105 and Dan Mohnen at heavyweight both raised their records to 5-2. Bunday pinned Greg Swanson of Cary-Grove and Tim Latftrop of Hampshire, but lost 11-4 in the Stevenson match. Mohnen gained two wins by pinning Bob Mar- chinkowsiri of Hampshire and receiving a forfeit in the Cary-Grove match. He was pinned by Frank Flood in the Stevenson, match. Ric Conners (126), Dave Sarabia (138), Roland Hunt (155), Dave Hawley (167) and Jeff Greany (185) all won two or more matches for the Warriors. Conners defeated Doug Hughes of Cary and Vince Smith of Stevenson. 12-8; Sarabia pinned John Evert of Hampshire and Mike Bewley of Stevenson: Hunt pinned Tom O'Shea of Hampshire. and Kelly Gonzales of Stevenson; Hawley pinned Mac Brumwell of Cary and Tim Ellis of Hampshire; and Greany pinned Gary Nat- trass of Cary, defeated Bob Brown of Hampshire and won on a forfeit against Stevenson. By Dick Rabbitt The McHenry Warriors opened Fox Valley Conference play on a sour note, dropping a 63-57 contest to Cary-Grove Friday night. On Saturday night, the Warriors traveled to Fox Lake to take on the Bulldogs and came home with their fourth loss of the season, 54-45. McHenry is now 0-1 in the FVC and 0-4 overall. Cary-Grove, the doormat of from last year," said McHenry coach Ken Ludwig. "Other teams make mistakes and we don't take advantage of them, while our mistakes result" in good things for other teams." The Warriors were actually beat at the free throw line, making five, while the Trojans made 19. McHenry outscored the Trojans 26-22 from the field. Corey Scott's basket at 7:30 put the Warriors ahead 2-0 and the Fox Valley last season, are * midway in the intial period, Pat fU/\ w i W»»H«A MAMMAE r\**n«%A^e fiiiA KaelrAle ffntiA 4UA the surprise team this season, sporting a 5-1 record. With five starters back from last year, Trojan coach Jim Condill is looking for better things this season, and so far he has not been disappointed. It was a game of miscues. The Warriors committed 22, while the Trojans were marked for 24. "Inexperience is still hurting us. They have five starters back Dunne's two baskets gave the Warriors a 12-8 bulge. The Trojans rallied and Voder- mark's basket at the buzzer tied the score at 16. Mark Peterson was the big gun in the Warrior attack in the second period, as his three baskets gave the Warriors a 27- 26 halftime lead. In the third period, baskets by Peterson, Dunne and Craig Hill kept the Warriors ahead 35-34 at the three minute mark. But the Trojans began to get some easy baskets and opened up an eight point lead until Dave Toussaint's basket with seconds remaining gave the Trojans a margin of 46-40 going into the final period. In the final period, Scott Freund hit the bucket, followed by Scott to narrow the margin to two. Toussaint and Bindi of the Trojans traded two baskets a piece. Peterson's basket at 3:45 put the Warriors ahead 54-53, and at the 3 minute mark Scott's basket gave the Warriors a 57-54 lead. But then the Warriors went scoreless, while the Trojans put nine points on the board for a 63- 57 win. The Warriors did show some improvement on the floor against Grant, committing only 12 miscues, six of them in the McHenry Lady cagers escape past Round Lake By Cindi Kinsala The McHenry girls' basketball team played their season opener Saturday against Round Lake and the Lady Warriors defeated the non-conference opponent 44- 42. The whole game was not as close as the score indicates, however, as the Warriors carried a big lead until the fourth quarter. At the end of the third quarter, McHenry was ahead 42-22. McHenry coach Pat Wirtz said he made sure "everyone played before the first half was over," to let the girls gain experience and confidence before the conference opener. Renee Mezzano was the leading scorer with 16 points. Theresa Bentz of Round Lake scored 15. The fourth quarter proved to be somewhat of a disaster for the Lady Warriors.

Free throw shooting and rebounding were still problems. The Warriors missed some easy shots in , crucial moments that could have made a difference in the score. * "Our defense isn't that bad. The kids are working hard, and I see a lot of good things hap­ pening with our team," said a disappointed Ludwig. "Team shooting free throws against us are hitting at least 70 percent, while we are shooting free thows less than 50 percent. Our floor game has improved each time, with only 12 turnovers tonight. We also need improvement on our shooting and rebounding." Mark Peterson's three point play at 7:50 got the Warriors off to a good start, and his second basket, followed by Dunne's gave the Warriors a 7-4 lead midway in the first period. Dunne and Peterson again hit the hoop, but Kohl's basket with second remaining put the Bulldogs ahead 16-14 at the end of the period. The Warriors hit a dryspeU in the early going of the second period, and Scott Freund found the hoop to bring the score Grant 20, Warriors 16. The Warriors did manage to close the gap within three, 25-22, at the in­ termission. In the first half, both teams had trouble finding the hoop. The miscues were few and far between, but Grant got into the one-and-one early and took advantage of some Warrior fouls to make 11 charity tosses. In the early minutes of the third period, it looked like the Warriors of times gone by. With Scott's basket, followed by Hill's free throw the Warriors knotted the game at 25. Again Scott found the hoop, and then senior guard Tim Schmitt hit two 15- footers and the Warriors went ahead 31-25. The local fans, and there was plenty in attendance, were on their feet cheering on the Warriors. The Warriors, in a short span, had nine unan­ swered points on the board. Peterson's basket gave the Warriors a 33-26 lead, and the big guy hit another 10-footer. The Bulldogs, however, cameback to close the gap to three and the Warriors led 35-32 at the buzzer. The final period was disaster for the Warriors. The Bulldogs took every advantage of Warrior mistakes, making 12 free throws and went on to a 54-45 victory. "The officials should have got more control in the final period," said Ludwig. "Our kids are coming along. Not as fast as I expected, but improvement is being shown every week. One of these days we are going to put it all together and keep it there." The Warriors draw the bye in FVC play this Friday, but will host the Grayslake Rams on t * Saturday night.
