The boys were out there giving us their best so that has to be enough until another season comes along. The Warriors had some players that rose to the heights at times. All the boys took their bumps and fought. They just couldn't put it all together. Maybe playing in a new con­ ference next year will be just what the doctor ordered. You rake those leaves and put 'em in a sack. Thfc very next day a new batch is back. Sunday morning we tried to back out of our driveway as cars came this way and that way.

QatttionrfCall: 312-385-6437 When a car stopped to give us a break, it was hard to react. A second look told us it was Bill Sheehan. There are still some good guys on the road. Bill Bruce tells us he met Mrs. Fred (Kate Niesen) Beller and her daughter, Monica, during his vacation in California. They are former McHenryites whom many of you wouldn't have known. No snow in sight. The weatherman says look for cloudy days and rain for several days. Couldn't he at least give us that old one - partly sunny, partly cloudy line. Larry Nimsgern came to our table in the Fox Hole to ask my opinion on some ball players, mostly the free agents. My opinions were as free as the players and all went well until .the subject of other players came up. When I started on some Cub players, Larry said, "That's enough." He didn't want any of my help with his team. Joe Sullivan introduced me to his young son at the Ringwood church dinner and immediately warned the boy that he was meeting a White Sox fan. Joe must be teaching that nice young boy Cub doctrine with his catechism. NOTE TO BIFF MEYER: We will be glad to have you and Esther come out to see us any time. Just don't figure on corn husking this year. Your popcorn seed didn't do so well in our back forty. Next year we will have to rotate our crops better. Old farmers never die. They just spade away.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD McHENRY TEACHERS LEAGUE 11-2-77 The upsets were evident this week as the Holy Terrors, not too gracefully, bowed out of first place and made room for the Foolers...a most apt name. Wonder if the crown is heavy? Sneaking in, the Fearsome Foursome totaled 2366 pins and polished off a pizza. Heard it was delicious. B. Thompson, again wowed them and rolled a 247 and B.

Benet Barely Escapes Marian Upset Bid 36-29 Unbeaten Benet Academy, third-rated Class 3A football team in Illinois, begins its quest Wednesday for a state championship and the right to be called the No. 1 team in the entire state. However, no matter how Benet does in the playoffs, there is one thing the Redwings cannot be No. 1 in. They can't be No. 1 in "desire". That distinction is bestowed on Marian Central, which Saturday afternoon did things to the Redwings that no other team had done all season, before finally running out of downs and time, succumbing to Benet 36-29. The game was closer than the score indicated. How close did Marian come to pulling off the upset of the year? Consider these facts: -Midway through the second quarter, Marian had a first- and-goal situation from the Benet six-yard line. The Hurricanes couldn't score. -Midway in the third period, Marian moved the ball to the Benet 34-yard line, where it had a foyrth-and-three situation. A run gained only one yard. -Late in the third quarter, the Hurricanes had a first-and- 10 at the Benet 32-yard line. Four plays gained only five yards and they lost the ball. Yet, despite the three missed opportunities to score, the game was still almost Marian's. The Hurricanes, stung by a touchdown on the final play of the first half, trailed after two periods 18-14. Going into Saturday's finale, Benet had given up a TOTAL of 13 points in eight previous games. Marian got 14 in the first two quarters. Down 18-14, the Hurricane defense buckled in the third period, allowing three lightening-quick Redwing scores, putting Benet ap­ parently safely ahead 36-14. That was when Marian showed the kind of team it is. Led by quarterback Jim Ringness, who played probably the finest game of his career, the Hurricanes tallied twice in the fourth period, and moved the ball to midfield on a last- ditch drive which was halted when a fourth down pass fluttered barely incomplete deep in Redwing territory. All in all, it was a memorable way to end the season, and the Marian fans showed their appreciation by giving the Marian offense a standing ovation as they left the field, thrawted in their bid for vic­ tory. ly, the game was r,when the Hurricane defefl^T yielded long scoring playTto the explosive Red­ wings in the third period. This has been a banner season for Benet Academy. Besides the varsity finishing with a 9-0 record, the Redwing sophomores also finished 9-0, defeating Marian 25-0 in their windup. Marian finishes 3-6 on the year, but not without a fistful of memories of what almost was on a chilly Saturday in November.

But for Warrior fans who witnessed McHenry's 42-22 loss Friday night in the season finale for both teams, this one may not have hurt quite as much as some of the other defeats. The reason? Rare indeed is the opportunity to see a high school quarterback give a flawless performance. Yet, that's what fans witnessed Friday night, when Crystal Lake quarterback Tom Pence gave an exhibition of bow the quarterback position is supposed to be played. All Pence did was complete 21-of-32 passes, good for four touchdowns, score a fifth himself, accumulate 312 passing yards, and give Crystal Lake a 42-7 lead in just three quarters of play, before Tiger coach Bill Made mercifully sent in the second stringers to close out the one-sided contest Pence, only a junior, was in command throughout, shredding the Warrior secondary with pinpoint accuracy to a fleet of agile receivers. McHenry, meanwhile, was completely thwarted in its attempts to move the ball. Until Mack sent in his second unit, the Warriors' only tally came following a fumbled punt by Crystal Lake deep in Tiger territory. McHenry quarterback Pete Prust floundered through his poorest performance of the season, completing just one-of-ll passes in the first half, and not consistently moving the offense until the contest was out of reach. For the game, Prust completed just seven-of-27 passes, four of them to Marty Nuss, who wound up with 42 receptions on the year. Two of Nuss' receptions were good for touchdowns, both coming in the final minutes when the issue was no longer in doubt While Prust was having trouble passing, the Warrior ground game was also ineffective. Tim Oakley, who rushed for over 100 yards in each of the last two games, was held to just 42 yards in 17 carries, although a 40-yard scamper early in the third quarter was nullified because of a penalty. Crystal Lake broke the game open late in the first half. Leading 14-7, the Tigers scored with 2:03 remaining in the second quarter when Pence drove his team 53 yards in seven plays. Then, after McHenry failed to make a first down on a fourth down play at midfield, Pence took his team 52 yards in six plays, fniminating the drive with 10 seconds remaining in the half on a six-yard pass to Mike Schafer. - Hie 29-7 halftone bulge was expanded to 42-7 before clean jerseys appeared for^rysSTLake and Prust connected with Nuss for Mro scores. McHenry ended the season with a 3-6 record, 2-5 in the North Suburban conference. In the sophomore finale, Crystal Lake scored late in the final quarter to defeat McHenry 0-0. The McHenry sophomores finished their season 3-4-2. I
