Stark unanimously won the titfe of 'man of thenour' in his offensive debut. Stark had been a starting defensive back all season, but Skyhawk coach Randy Oberembt explained the switch to the offensive side. •"He's worked hard all season, and he earned the opportunity to start on the offensive team as a running back," Oberembt said. Running was what Stark did best Saturday, collecting 66 rushing yards in the fourth arter alone, allowing John- Sto maintain excellent field an in scoring their final touchdown. "He aid a super job," Oberembt admitted. "It was by far Us best game." MANY OTHER senior Skyhawks, however, also had a McHENRY chance to share in the limelight Senior quarterback Mark DuRei worked some magic through the air, tossing for all three JHS scores and a two-point conversion. On the day, he was frfor-16, for 107 yards, bringing his season total to an out­ standing 1,025 passing yards. When DuRei was not throwing the football, the offensive line was opening holes for the Skyhawk running backs, as JHS compiled 187 rushing yards. THE PANTHERS had trouble doing almost anything during with their possessions. While Round Lake quarterback Andy Wysocki was 7-for-15 for 115 yards, four of his eight missed passes were Johnsbutg in­ terceptions. In Round Lake's second possession of the second quarter, an errant Wysocki pass was intercepted by JHS senior Harry Giovanni Taking the inside _ over on the Panther 25, Skyhawk seniors took Mike Suidak carried on to move the ball DuRei then hit Mark Dumelle on a 12-yard pass to place the ball inside the 10.

Again it was Stark coming to the rescue. Just when everyone thought Horn was in for the score, Stark nabbed the Panther before he could get into the endzone. "He saved the touchdown," Oberembt said. Round Lake would not get in to the endzone at all. Two illegal ocedure penalties pushed the anthers back to the 15. Wysocki's pass to Horn fell incomplete, and the 'Hawks held on to the 6-0 lead. / Despite the first half ad­ vantage, Oberembt said he felt the 'Hawks could have done better. "We had a lot of op­ portunities to score in the first half, but penalties took us right out of those opportunities. THE SKYHAWK defense continued to dominate Round Lake in the second half, as they set up the final two Johnsburg scores. "The defense did a fantastic job," complimented Oberembt. "The defensive coaches, Jim Briscoe and Mike Roberts, prepared the defense well." Oberembt cited Bubba Bentz, inside linebackers Dan Stefka and Giovanni and cornerbacks John Kegal and Brian Hauck as leading the stauch JHS defense. Johnsburg forced a fumble early in the third quarter, taking over on the Round Lake 44. A 25- yard jaunt by Kegel put the 'Hawks in perfect position. DuRei hit Dumelle with a three- yard scoring pass, and then DuRei tossed to Stefka for the two-point conversion, putting the Skyhawks ahead 14-0. Round Lake was again in trouble from the start of the final period, as Kevin Nielsen picked off aWysocki pass at the Johnsburg 38. But the Panther defense held, forcing a John­ sburg punt. On the next possession, Wysocki again was intercepted, this time t>y Hauck, and this time the 'Hawks made use of the opportunity. DuREI LOFTED a 38-yard pass to Dumelle, who stretched out just steps from the endzone to snare the toss for the score. Majercik's PAT was good, accounting for the final score, 21-0. For good measure Hauck stole another Wysocki pass,, intended for Horn, to put the game in the 'Hawks' pocket and the ball in their hands, as time ran out. The Skyhawks will wrap up their season Friday at Grant. The Bulldogs sport a 5-3 record, 4-2 in conference. Oberembt said his team will be ready to (day. "Grant is definitely Physically bigger, and quicker. But I think we've got a good shot at making this a winning season." Johnsburg is 4-4 overall, 3-3 in the Northwest Suburban Con­ ference.

McHenry then brought out the gadget playbook, as Hill gave to Dunne, who rolled to his right, and threw back across the field to Justen, who was brought down at the eight- yard line. • McHenry again got to the line of scrimmage in a hurry as Hill threw another to the sidelines to stop the clock. The officials ruled the toss a lateral and not a pass, however, costing McHenry six vital yards. ;• "I wish we'd have had a timeout or two left," Schlender admitted The Warriors used two timeouts during the Streaks' long drive. "We had to use the timeouts just to have a chance to score again," $chlender said. With four seconds to play, Hill eluded the WHS rush, and threw a SrMGai e Blue umph. the sig] end," Bradshaw admitted.

Wolschlager gdt the call, and outran the McHenry defenders around left end, giving the Streaks a 21-13 lead after 24 minutes of play. Neither team mounted much of a threat in the fast third period. Woodstock ran only eight plays to McHenry's 12, and while the Warriors were moving the ball better, they had nothing to show for it* ;McHENRY HAD STARTED arrive late in the third, but it didn't pay off until 2% minutes had elapsed in the fourth quarter. The Warriors would wish for those precious seconds back later in the contest. On the drive, Justen caught a 15-yard toss from Hill, putting the bill on the WHS 23.

Woodstock lineman P.J. Collins dived in front of |Htel to bat the ball away, preserving the two-point lead. •; "Collins is a defensive tackle," Schlender noted. "What he was doing on pass coverage, I don't know. "One point really wouldn't have done us any good. I knew we'd get another chance to score, I just didn't think it would be so late," Schlender said. But it was late. Too late. ! Woodstock then began its game-winning drive. Yes, the final score was 21-19. How could this be the game-clincher? Although jfoodstock didn't score, the Streaks chewed up over eight minutes off the clock. By the time McHenry got the ball back, only 1:36 Remained. ;• The star of this time-consuming, important drive was none other than Wolschlager. The senior carried 11 of the 15 plays. On the four plays he didn't touch the ball, WHS netted only nine yards. Of those 11 carries, three went for first downs. Wolschlager toted on the first eight plays, and on the drive, he gained 51 total yards. In short, a day's work in about eight minutes. THE WARRIORS finally got the precious football in their hands at their own 20, with 1:36 to play. Hill threw to Justen for a first down- it the 32. Two incompletions and a run brought a fourth-and-seven. Hill then lofted a pass down the left sideline to Dunne, who was interfered with by Brown at midfield.
