The Scots overcame a nine- point halftime deficit by out- scoring Harper 43-31 in the second half to escape with a 67- 64 win. The first round victory in the Section V tournament ad­ vances the Scots to the title contest against host College of Lake County at 3 p.m. Wed­ nesday. "All of a sudden, we decided to go to the basket, to be aggressive, and that we were not going to be pushed around anymore," MCC Coach Bob Edwards said. The Scots trailed 33-24 at halftime as Harper's Hawks Johnsburg boys start slow, lose to Grayslake GRAYSLAKE -- Another slow start doomed the Johnsburg High boys' basketball team Friday night, as the Skyhawks dropped a Northwest Suburban Conference battle to Grayslake, 64-53. The Skyhawks scored just 12 points in the entire first half, allowing the Rams to race out to a 27-12 edge at the intermission. "We just shot real poorly," said JHS coach Ben Beck. "There was nothing wrong with our shot selec­ tion, we took good shots, it was just that nothing would fall in for us." Johnsburg finally got around to scoring in the second 16 minutes, as the 'Hawks rattled off 18 tallies in the third period, and 23 more in the fourth, but Grayslake kept pace, with 14 and 23, respectively. "The kids came back real ROUND LAKE strong in the second half," Beck said. "We cut the lead to nine with about a minute left in the game, and they (the Rams) had to put their starters back in." The Johnsburg comeback was keyed by juniors Mike Toussaint and Bill Dust, and sophomore Frank Husak. Toussaint, playing in just his second game after an arm injury, scored all 12 of his points in the second half. Husak tallied 10 of his 12 during the span, as did Dust with all nine of his tallies. . "Those three really turned it around for us. It's nice to see Mike the red-hot shooting of the Rams, who shot almost 60 percent from the floor, Beck said. "They shot free throws pretty poorly, but they were on fire from the floor," he added. "Especially back in there and doing a good job. Frank had a nice floor game, and Tom Walsh played a good, ag­ gressive game too," Beck noted. The Skyhawks were dazzled by in the first half, they were really shooting the lights out." Grayslake's accuracy from the floor didn't carry over to the free throw line, however. The Rams were a pitiful 10-for-31 from the charity stripe. The biggest culprit was 6-foot-7 center Gary Link, who had what you could call an off-night at the foul line. Link was 5-for-18. "They jumped on us early," Beck said, "thanks to their shooting. But we kept comin' at them, kept playing hard. We got the shots we wanted, but we couldn't get them to go in." The loss drops Johnsburg to 3-10 Tm Walsk in the league, 7-16 overall. The Skyhawks are mired in last place in the conference. First-place Grayslake is 10-3, 13-10. One of those losses came at the hands of Johnsburg earlier in the season. (Continued from page 20) Warriors to a lead, and with 29 seconds left, reserve Greg Haukereid was fouled and given two shots. He missed the first, and sunk the second to give the hosts a three-point lead, 62-59. With the clock still stopped, Haukereid fouled Round Lake's Jim Ronayne, and the little guard hit both to make it 62-61. After a McHenry missed shot, Ronayne again was hacked, and with just eight seconds remaining, he hit both to give the Panthers the win. GIRLS "Round Lake's a good team," Ludwig said. "Their defense isn't that hot, but they can score. We missed four one-and-ones and the front of a two-shot foul all at the end. That's nine possible points. And our shooting was terrible. We took the most shots we probably have all year, but we only shot 34 percent (24-of-70)." The Warriors streaked out to a 16-11 lead after one quarter, but the going got tough for the locals in the second stanza, as 6-foot-7 center Greg Kreitner got the Pan­ thers going with some easy lay- ups. The visitors took the lead, but the Warriors charged back en route to a 32-29 halftime edge. A tough Warrior defense held the Panthers in check for most of the third quarter, but McHenry sloughed off in the late going, and clung to a 44-43 lead after three. Both teams had a bad case of the turnovers in the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, and the two teams exchanged buckets until a Haukereid bucket at 1:30 left McHenry ahead 55-53. But Horn nailed a 10-footer with just 15 ticks left, and the game went Into overtime. "We're 2-6 at home now," Lud­ wig said, "and that really sticks in my craw. Round Lake lost a tough game Friday night at Marian Cen­ tral, but they came back and won, and they played on the road the whole weekend. "The ball just isn't bouncing our way," the veteran coach con­ tinued. "But the kids have to have a positive reaction. We can't worry about it. We won some close ones, too." (Continued from page 20) three periods, but still the coach wasn't relaxing. "Even with a 10- and 12-point lead, I still told the kids to keep taking it at them, and they really did. A few shots were dropping out in the fourth quarter, and that made me a little nervous. Had those shots fallen, it could have been a real blowout," Wirtz add­ ed. "We missed six free throws -- three one-and-ones -- in the fourth quarter, but still outscored them (9-8)." Patti Johnson led the Warrior effort with 13 points, while Cindy Gaines tossed in 10 and Peg Chilvers nine. Chilvers also cor­ ralled 17 rebounds. "The girls played like they were possessed," Wirtz commented. "It was fun to watch. The fast break was really working well in the first half, and that helped get us going." Doubling the coach's pleasure was that the triumph was the first ever for the McHenry girls over South "That made it especially nice," Wirtz said. "They've always beaten us, and to end this 30-loss streak against them, it's great, "I was frustrated during the whole thing, but it could have been worse. It wasn't as frustrating knowing fhe girls always gave 100 percent, always. That was the en­ couraging thing. I always knew they Were trying. "All the injuries, and the sicknesses, and the girls missing because of vacations, none of it matters now," Wirtz said. "And all the hard work has paid off. And it wasn't a 'gimme' game either We were aggressive, and we won handily." McHenry dropped a non- conference decision to Jacobs Thursday in Algonquin, 43-30. "Part of the reason for the win over South was the way we played against Jacobs," Wirtz noted. "We led 14-12 at halftime, but just couldn't hold on. Jacobs made a couple baskets in the third qu&rter, and we got behind and couldn't play the type of defense we needed to. Plus we shot 20 per­ cent from the field, that didn't help." Gaines had eight and Bonnie Ap- pleyard six to lead that effort. But all the waiting ended Satur­ day. "Peg Chilvers wafv totally dominating the board* against South," praised Wirtz. "She and Cindy Gaines were excellent. And Bonnie had only six points, but they were real important baskets. Monique Betancourt had an outstanding performance as well. She always hustles, but against South, she was diving all over the floor. It was just great to see." It was the first time in 31 games that Pat Wirtz had a sincere smile on his face after a game. He hopes it doesn't take as long for the next one. Reports from the Plaindealer- Herald News Service added to this story. dictated the tempo, forcing poor MCC shots. "We were just too tentative. It was like we were playing not to ' lose," Edwards said. Harper did its part in the MCC comeback by missing 19 of their first 20 shots in the second half. "We did not beat them. They beat themselves," Edwards said. The Scots needed clutch free- throw shooting to pull this one out and advanced to the sec­ tional championship game for the second straight year. Dianne Pilgard, who shared MCC scoring honors with 20 points along with Sue Hopp- mann. sank 4-of-5 free throws in the final 65 seconds. Joyce Bealmear added another. The .win gives MCC a 19-10 mark, seven straight wins and its 10th win in the last 11 games.
