Despite the close loss Skyhawk coach Ben Beck couldn't fault his team's effort. "The guys played a super first half. The Bears took us out of position. We had contained their big guy (six-foot-11 center Roman Miller) in the first half, but in the third quarter we didn't honor him. We tried to take the ball at him and that's where we got hurt. "But the guys did what we had practiced and worked on throughout the week and I can't ask much more than that," said Beck. Bill Fitzgerald 01 Shamrock Realty Says!!!!

That's pretty good for a team which had no NWSC wins ever coming into the 1983-84 season. "You can quote me on this," said a very happy Roberts. "As a team, we never wrestled better ever in the four years of (Johnsburg wrestling." Jphnsburg's last match of the season will be against Grayslake this Friday, a win will give Johnsburg a winning reconl in the NWSC. that would satisfy* Roberts even further. "Our goal before the season started was to finish at .500. To be over .500 would be very satisfying because we're so young," Johnsburg's overall record stands at 7-6-1.

V r* Lady Warriors lose to Cary, Blue Streaks Pat Wirtz feels his McHenry Warrior girls' basketball team has found its defense, but is still struggling with its offense. The Lady Warriors > continued to struggle offensively this weekend, losing to Cary-Grove 32-30 and Woodstock 43-26. The losses dropped McHenry's record in the Fox Valley Conference at 0-4. The overall record stands at 3-10. "I felt our defense did very well in both games. It's still our shooting which is getting us in trouble," Wirtz said. "We run our offenses well. We take the good shots. Execept for a few contests such as Dundee-Crown and Waucona ., our turnover* equaled the opposition. "Against Cary in the second half, we did not penetrate their half court trap very well. Although are shot charts show Cary took only five more shots. They simply put the ball through more times than we did." Sarah Prust's nine points led McHenry scoring. Andee Norton and Greta Larsen scored eight each. The Warriors were without the services of Renee Mezzano, the teams leading scorer, for both games due to an injury. McHenry jumped out to a 8-4 first quarter lead.

Woodstock streaked past McHenry 10-6 after one quarter and went into halftime with a 20-16 lead. Woodstock blew open the game in the second half, outselling McHenry 23-10. "Halfway through the third period we were down 22-18 and missed five straight op- portunites to pull within two points. That was the story. Hie ball would not fall," said Wirtz. "We really slowed the tempo down playing without Renee Mezzanp and Patty Johnson our main handlers. Kim Busche, replacing Mezzano, scored 11 points in her first varsity start.

"This is only Roman's second year in basketball and he does start for us. But we have been bringing him along and working on his abilities. There has been improvement and he gets better each game. However, we look to R a b e o r , o u r c o - c a p t a i n , f o r court leadership. When Rabeor plays well, the whole team plays with him.

L a k e ' s C a b l e v i s i o n , McHenry's Men's Park and Recreation Basketball doormat for the past two seasons, took a giant leap towards climbing from those depths. Cablevision did so by defeating a surprised Little John's 33-21 to notch its first victory ever in 20 games. Vic Santi, captain and leading scorer in the contest with 13 points, summed it up well when he said, "It's just like being in high school again." Lake Cablevision supporters were prohibited from cutting down the nets, but it did not queU the victory exaltation.

"Offensively, he isn't that much of a difference. Defensively he helps us out and just being on the floor," Ludwig wished Harris was in the game. Ludwig wasn't aware Harris was out for the game and had his team practice all week as if the 6-foot-6 center was in the lineup. With both teams not playing up to par offensively, the dif­ ference might have been McHenry's fast start in the first quarter. Jump shots over the Jacob zone defense by Corey Scott, Freund and Dunne gave McHenry an early 6-2 lead. Joe Lipinsky's jump shot narrowed the lead to 6-4, but the Warriors reeled off nine straight points for a 15-4 lead.
