A spirit of happiness prevailed and also ohe of relief for all who had just wit nessed this thriller. The Warriors were playing their finest ball and everyone knew it, especially Marengo. >uuengo was hot, too, making 50 percent of all their shots and it really took something to beat that. The main heroes were Ron Ford, whose 29 points we couldn't have done without and John Lawrence. who sank the winning bucket, but it wasn't just two stars who did it, it was the whole team Everyone was working together to win. The Warriors started out On the right foot as they took command in the first quarter. It was a running game all the way, give and go. All five of the Warriors showed their scoring ability in the quarter. Stan Aim led the output as he scored 6. At the close of the quarter the Warriors enjoyed an 18-11 lead. Bolger Sinks Lohg One In the second quarter Marengo was at their best as Dave Fox led Swabbies * -- f^i»w Hounds, 1,^^ ^ point spurt, when he hit 11. J. Herdrich, 613. Thtf Warriors were still playing two big free throws to tie it up. Ron Ford tallied: to give us a 2 point legd. What a game! The clock showed 5 seconds tp go. when Volkman, of Marengo, swished one through the nets to tie it up 73-73. The game now entered a two, minute, sudden death overtime. In which tile first t*am to score 2 points would win. Rebouad and Zip, Zip Marengo took control of the ball and worked it around for a good shot. The shot was missed, Chuck Johnson grabbed the rebound und i zipped a pass to Ron Ford/ in mid- j court, Ron. spotted John Lawr- ) euce under the basket and heaved it to him. John hooked it lip ,for the score* and the game! Pandemonium! The largest crowd ot the season was rejoici&g over'ilie 75-73 win. 1 doubt if many hearts would be strong enough to stand up under another affair such as this. The Warriors rolled up their highest total of the' season. It was a tough one for Marengo to lose, but it was plain to see that our Warriors wanted no part of defeat. It was team ball that paved the way to victory and coach Fulton's boys really deserved to win. Everyone was in the scoring mood. Ron Ford paced the offense as he hit 29, John Lawrence had 12, Stan Aim celebrated his return to the lineup with 11, John Bolger scored 10, Tom Huemann 8, and Craig Baldwin 5. This proved the fact that we have a well balanced offense. Captain Dave Fox led the Marengo scoring as he scored 25. The Warriors will travel to Lake Geneva tonight in another SWANI conference game.

J * McHENRV METS CRYSTAL LAKE IN REGIONAL Tournament Opens March 3; District Meet At Richmond.. Announcement this week tells us that McHenry will meet the classy Crystal Lake five in the regipnal basketball tournament at Elgin, starting March 3. Crystal Lake gained a prominent place in state ratings following their victory over Hebron a couple of weeks ago. They will be favored over McHenry, but teams are fast learning that you can't sell the Fulton boys short. Elgin meets Grant and 'tis said that Grant has both sise and kuow-how. Dundee, the possible dark horse in the meet, is paired with Antioch. One reads that Dundee Isn't as strong as in past years, but one wonders. Woodstock will face the winner of the district meet to be held at Richmond starting February 25. If Hebron isn't the winner in this tourney, you pick one. 8t. Edward's of Elgin appears to.be the only serious threat. The likes of Huntley, Richmond. Capron and St. Mary's of Woodstock hardly figure to upset the dope bucket. Dundee and Elgin are ife the same bracket this year so a variation in the finals is asured.
