Skyhawks shut out Wauconda , WAUCONDA - The John- sburg Skyhawk football tearii raised its record to 3-4 with a 14- 0 shutout over the Bulldogs here Saturday. The Skyhawks, 2-3 in the Northwest Suburban, will host Round Lake Saturday, and close out the season against Grant in Fox Lake Nov. 2. Wauconda, which dropped to 1-4,1-6, was never reaUy in the ballgame, as a staunch Skyhawk defense picked off four Bulldog aerials and limited the home team to negative-16 yards rushing in the second half. "WE PLAYED outstandin defense," Johnsburg coac Randy Oberembt said. "They (Wauconda) just never could get going." The Skyhawk mentor cited the play of Bob Bentz, who dumped m$ Wauconda signal-caller 9&ind the line of scrimmage on --three separate occasions. Offensively, Johnsburg rebounded from the loss of standout wide receiver Bill Brown, who was lost last week with a knee injury. But the loss of the leading Skyhawk receiver didn't deter quarterback Mark DuRei from tossing the football at Will. The senior quarterback was 13-foF20 on the day, for 160 yards and two touchdowns - both to Mark Dumelle. DuRei has thrown for 918 yards on the year. The first was a seven-yard strike in the first quarter. Mike Majercik's point-after gave Johnsburg a 7-0 lead. In the second stanza, DuRei hit Johnsburg didn't turn the ball over at aU, his PA ^ame points "IT WAS A good win for us," Oberembt said. "We had been down a little bit (after a 14-10 homecoming loss to Grayslake), but this was a nice victory to get. We had a good day." The Skyhawks limited Wauconda's passing attack to 6- for-15 on the day, with four in­ terceptions. The Bulldogs could muster just three first downs in the game. On the other side of the coin, as Dumelle helped the cause by gathering in nine DuRei passes for 82 yards. "He really picked up the slack," Oberembt said. "We really should have scored more points," he admitted. "We blew a couple chances to really put them away. But we feel real {good about this win. We needed Oberembt admitted two more wins, which would give John­ sburg a 5-4 record, would make the Skyhawk season. "We'd feel we had a good year if we could win these last two. After last season (when the Skyhawks were 7-2) when we did so well, we were looking for consistency in the program. A 5-4 record would be great." Great, but not easy. "W '̂ll have to beat Round Lake first. (The Panthers are 0- 5, 1-6). And then look toward Grant," Oberembt said. Grant's only-conference loss was suffered at the hands of Marian Central Friday night, 40- 18. The Bulldogs are 5-2 overall. Richmofid remains unbeaten PUMwUw-Hcrald Newt Service SANDWICH -- Don't give Craig Komar the speech about playing hurt, or playing when not feeling up to par. Richmond-Burton's senior jrback knows all about McHenry tennis coach Gary Gray admitted it hurt. He ad­ mitted it wasn't easy for the four participants. He admitted it was painful. But, he noted, the Warrior tennis squad would take "It" was a championship doubles match at Saturday s McHeniy Sectional between the Warriors' number one team of Sara Bird • Kris Wolff and the number two unit of Geri Haner - Michelle Landis. Both duos had already qualified for the state tournament, which will begin Thursday, so the outcome didn't end anybody's season. But, there was a certain sense of pride - and pain - as Landis and Haner outlasted their teammates in a marathon match,,7-6 (8-6), 4-6, 64. Woodstock won the sectional with 8% points. McHenry was second with 8. "THEY EACH had a hard time," Gray said. "The cir­ cumstances were difficult for all of them." Bird and Wolff were the sectional's number one seeded doubles combination, while Haner and Landis were the third seeds. . "I'm not surprised," Gray said. "Haner and Landis have been improving all season and they are very consistent. At the seeding meeting, I said they could beat anybody in the tournament.

They felt bad. It was a really tough thing." ' Gray said that before the sectional, he had hoped the two teams would meet in the championship. But, as the 'dream match' progressed, it wasn't as fun as he thought it would be. "I just hated it," Gray said. It was painful for the girls, for the parents and for me as a coach." BUT, THE bottom line is both tandems will be competing in the state tournament, which will begin Thursday at Prospect "WE DID what we thought we could," Gray said. "The girls were faced with a lot of ad­ versity. It hurt them all. They took the court to practice at 7:45 a.m.," he said, "and they didn't finish the day's play until 7 p.m." It was really an en­ durance test. Fatigue played a big part." Landis and Haner played 94 games on the day, while Wolff and Bird competed in 90. "The cream came up and stayed there," Gray said The Warrior coach said in looking at winners from other sectionals, he noticed many teams the Warrior doubles units have defeated this season. "We like winning at state, but just getting there was our goal. The rest is gravy. But we're gonna work hard this week," he said. "We're gonna fight like beck. Somebody's going to have to beat us. - In singles action, the Warriors' Melissa Rhode lost to Antioch's Dawn Biasing 6-1, 6-2.
