The Warriors are 1-9 in the league, 1-16 overall. Second-place Woodstock is 7-4,11-8. McHenry played at Dundee- Crown Tuesday and will travel to Crystal Lake South Thursday, winding up the regular season. The Warriors will play host Johnsburg in regional play next Monday. Against Woodstock, McHenry trailed by just two -- 8-6 -- after one quarter, and tied the contest at 11-11 with 2xk minutes to play in the first half. But numerous turnovers and bad passes took the momentum away, according to McHenry coach Pat Wirtz, and the girls stumbled to a 21-11 deficit at the intermission. "Those things hurt us," Wirtz said. "The tempo switched to the Streaks. They scored the first two buckets of the second half, and we wredownby 14." McHenry did, however, outscore Woodstock 21-20 from there on, but it obviously wasn't enough. "We're talking about a 4^-5 minute letdown. Otherwise, we played them even," Wirtz noted. Woodstock's sensational sophomore Mary Jo Firnbach tallied 27 points -- including 11 in the second quarter -- to lead all scorers. The Blue Streaks enjoyed a whopping 43-19 edge in the reboun­ ding department. The Warrior claimed just two offensive boards all night. "Firnbach played better offen­ sively than she did in the first meeting," said Wirtz. "She was hot, her percentage was very high. She hit a lot of 15-18 footers." "We caused some turnovers during the second half, we did a good job on our press. It just wasn't enough to turn the tide." Patty Johnson had seven points to pace the McHenry effort. Peg ChUvers tossed in six, as did Bon­ nie Appleyard. Kim Busche and Kris Carlson added four apiece. starting. And like a car. that wastes a lot of gas. Almost half of every dollar's worth of natural gas you pay for. An electric heat pump, on the other hand, wastes nothing. Because unlike the gas furnace, it bums nothing. Creates no heat from scratch. It simply takes the heat from the sun that's already in the air outside and brings it inside. And unlike the gas furnace, an electric heat pump is most efficient when the temperature is above freezing. So efficient, in fact, that it gives you more BTUs of heat than you pay for. not less. Twice as many, on average. Considering it can do that most of the time, two out of every three McHenry Marlins finish season; fifth at conference meet ZION -- The Marlins swim team, represented McHenry well at the conference championships in Zion Saturday.

The Marlins' summer season will begin in June at Knox Park. Check with the park district for further information. It's no stranger. You let it in. Trusted it. Relied on it. Basked in the warmth it provided for years. And for years, it's been robbing you blind. You see, all gas furnaces waste money. And most of them waste a lot of money. Because most gas furnaces only work efficiently when the outside temperature is at or below freezing. But here in northern Dlinois, it doesn't get that cold nearly as often as yofl might think. Just thirty - six percent of the time between fall and spring. Which means that the other sixty-four percent of the time, almost two out of every three hours, your furnace has to do a lot of stopping and
