SEPTEMBER II. 18*1 The Skyhawk defensive sauad did all they could last Saturday in Johnsburg's opening loss to Grant 14-6, but it proved to be too little. Pete Barroso, a returning Johnsburg letterinan, led the way for the defense with 10 <;olo tackles and six assists. Paul Smith, while also playing outstanding defense, provided the Skyhawks with its lone touchdown. The Skyhawks' offense fumbled the ball on their first possession, almost as an omen oi how things were to be for the rest of the afternoon. Johnsburg's offense managed only 27 yards of total offense for the entire game. Dan Williams, the senior quarterback, com­ pleted only two of 13 at­ tempts for 18 yards. The ground game accounted for only nine yards on 16 at­ tempts. "1 was very dissappointed in the offense," said John­ sburg coach Bob Schmitt. "I was very pleased with the defense, however, as I thought they played a fine game." Grant scored first on its second possession of the game. Quarterback John Corrigan tossed a 29-yard to Dave Jensen to put the ball on the three yard line. Graig Gismaar scored two plays CAPTURING WINS - in the ladies division of the McHenry Country Club recently were, from left to right: Carol Cooney in Class A, Gloria Otth in Class B, Trish Sayler in Class C, and Jackie Victor in Calss D.

Johnsburg's defense came right back to put the Skyhawks up on the scoreboard as well. After a 42-yard punt by Johnsburg's Rob Schmidt, Grant took over possession at its own six yard line. Two plays later. Paul Smith hit Grant s quar terback in the end zone jarring the ball loose Another Grant offensive lineman picked up the ball but he also fumbled when John Miedzianowski hit him. Smith finally fell on the ball for the Skyhawks first score of the season. The extra point was missed and Johnsburg trailed 7-6. Grant added one more touchdown in the first half on a one-yard touchdown run by Joe Myers to make the final score 14-6. "Next week at Grayslake there will be a lot of changes in the offense," added Sch­ mitt. Paul Klein, the Skyhawks center, will miss next weeks game as a result of a knee injury. Johnsburg will travel to Grayslake on Saturday, Sept. 19 in a 2:00 p.m. con test.

MAIN S 385-6219 • OPEN DAILY 7pm-1 lpm Coach Joe Schlender's McHenry high Warriors won their season opener at Stevenson on Saturday af­ ternoon by the score of 20-2. With an alert defense taking advantage of the Patriots miscues, the local squad had an easy time in winning their first victory of the current campaign. The Warriors lost the toss and kicked off to the Patriot 40. After a first down, senior safety Mike Connor picked off a Patriot pass on the Warrior 42. Failing to move the ball the.Warriors punted to the Pat/25. The Warriors dug in and forced Stevenson to punt to the Warrior 38. Then senior Doug Mullen in his first varsity start found Scott Schmitt on two suc­ cessive passes to bring the. ball to the Patriot 37. The Warriors failed in making a first down on the 32, but held the Pat s and forced a bad kick back to the Stevenson 49 as the period ended. In the second period neither team could advance the ball and an exchange of punts took place until late in the period when John Clewis fell on a Stevenson fumble on the 15 yd. line. A Mullen pass to Tom Zynk was good for a first down on the 3. Two plays later Mullen carried in from the one, and then kicked the PAT and the Warriors led 7-0 with 2:18 remaining in the half. Neither team could make any headway in the final minutes and the Warriors led at the intermission 7 to 0. After the Warriors received, in the third quarter an intercepted pass on their own 44, looked like trouble, but seconds later Mike Connor recovered a fumble to take the Warriors out of the hole. A Mullen pass right on the button was dropped by a Warrior receiver (it was a TD all the way). After holding the Pats, the Warriors took over on their 30. Then the Pats got carried away and the Warriors took advantage. A roughing the kicker penalty gave the locals a first down on the 48.

STAFF PHOTO - WAYNE GAYLORD Lack Of Punch Spells Johnsburg Defeat 14-6 Saturday, Oct. 17 is the Homecoming date listed on Marian Central's football schedule. But as far as Don Penza is concerned, his Homecoming was last Saturday when his Hurricanes defeated St. Edward 7-6 in his first coaching duty since 1967 "It's good to be back in the game." said a jubilant Penza. "The kids responded real well." Indeed Marian Central had outgained St. Edward in txjth passing and rushing \ardage, but the Hurricanes started out in big trouble as the Greenwave recovered their opening onside kick. But Marian held it's ground and sacked quar­ terback Brad Beck on the first two plays from scrimmage giving the Greenwave an early in­ dication of what was in store for the rest of the afternoon. The Hurricane defense did not allow a point in the contest and in the first half almost completely shutout the Greenwave offense. In the first half, St. Ed­ ward attempted to establish a running game, but 16 at tempts gained only 11 yards. The only pass attempted was completed, but it went for no gain The Greenwave had no first downs and were forced to punt three times in the half and on two other oc casions when they elec ted to go for it on fourth down, they didn't make it. Both times their running backs were thrown back for losses. The first time Marian got its hands on the ball in the first quarter, senior quar­ terback Don Rickert drove his team 72 yards in 14 plays for a touchdown With 3:46 remaining in the quarter, he found end Scott Spendel in the corner of the end zone, and after Spendel converted the extra point, Marian led 7- 0 The Hurricanes had a chance to score once more before the half ended when Chuck Hartlieb hit Pete Sandall with a 47 yard bomb putting the ball deep in St. Edward territory. But on the next play Marian fum­ bled, St. Edward recovered, and soon after the clock expired with Marian still holding a 7-0 lead at the half. In the second half, the Greenwave came to life rushing for four straight first downs after taking the second half kickoff. But once again, Marian's defense rose to the occasion and took control of the game. In the third quarter Marian defensive end Jim Huemann sacked Beck forcing a fumble which defensive tackle Bill Blume recovered The next time St. Edward got the ball back, Mike Borman intercepted a pass as the quarter came to an end. After getting the ball back on a punt, St. Edward started the fourth quarter the same way they had started the game, by giving the ball the fullback Chris Maher. Maher wound up as the game's leading groun- dgainer with 23 carries for 81 yards. After again coming up short on fourth down, Marian took over on downs when disaster struck. On second down and long Hartlieb was looking for a receiver running a deep out pattern when Greenwave cornerback Jim D'Amato stepped in front of him, made the interception and raced 65 yards untouched down the sidelines for a touchdown. With almost five minutes to go in the game, St. Ed ward elected to go for tnfe' two-point extra point But on the attempt, Marian's John Taylor broke through the line and again sacked Beck The Greenwave had one final chance to score when they were halted on the 22 yard line with a minute and a half remaining Once again Taylor made the tackle with help from Mike Borman Hartlieb then ran out the clock giving Penza his victory. Penza's gameplan was to mix the runs with the passing plays to divide the yardage evenly. "We'd like to use either 50-50 or 60-40 on the runs and passes," he said. For the game, Marian had 94 yards rushing and 104 through the air. Penza also substituted freely alternating quar- tebacks and using many backs. Rickert hit three of six passes for a touchdown, and his backup, Hartlieb connected on one of six and suffered two interceptions. Tom Pappas, Justin Traver, and Phil Brown started in the backfield, but Jeff Cynchner, John Jarvis, Dave Kubacki, and Sandall all carried the ball. "The thing that was great about this game was the psychological aspect," said Penza l*The kids just never quit. " « ? "Let's hope my debut indicates a better future for Marian," he continued. "My first game at Wisconsin Rapids we lost, but went on to a 68-12-2 record." The Hurricanes will be looking for their second win in a row when they travel to Crown on Saturday, Sept. 19 for a 2:00 p.m. game.

A pass in­ terference gave the Warriors the ball on the 21. Tom Wagner then ran up the middle to the 11. With fourth down on the 9, a fake field goal with Mike Love tossing to halfback Denny Deja for the T.D. The PAT was no good and the Warriors led 13- 0 with 3:52 remaining in the third period. On the first play after the kickoff, Scott Schmitt picked off a pass and returned to the Stevenson 26. Wagner then bulled his way to the 9. A Stevenson penalty put the ball on the one, and then Wagner ran it over and Mullen's kick was good for a 20-0 lead with seconds remaining in the period. In the final period the Patriot's made a march to the Warrior 17, where the Warriors took over on downs. Failing to gain, the Warriors went in punt for­ mation, and when the center snap went over the kicker's head into the end zone, a safety resulted putting the host school on the board with two points. The remaining minutes saw neither team sustain a drive and the Warriors walked off with their first win of the season. SCORING McHenry 0 7 13 0 20 Stevenson 0 0 0 2 2 McHenry: Mullen 1 yard run (Mullen kick). Deja 9 yard pass from Love (kick no good). Wagner l yard run (Mullen kick). Stevenson: Safety, tackled punter in end zone. The Warriors didn't look too bad for their opener. The inexperience of signal caller Doug Mullen showed up several times, but give him a few games and he is going to be good. The quickness of the Warrior line was evident over the bigger slower Patriot front. The defense was alert, picking off five interceptions and gathering in two fumbles. To single out any individual stats would be unfair to the team, but some credit should be given to Tom Wagner on his running up the middle, Scott Sch midt, Denny Deja, and Mike Connor for their defensive backfield play, and to Doug Mitsven, Kelly Gartner, Curt Rehberg, and Tom Lynk for their fine play. It was a good team effort, and Coach Joe Schlender had nothing but praise for his squad, and commented on the fine play of the boys who were in their first varsity game. As we mentioned last week, con­ ditioning will pay off, and the Warriors proved it Saturday afternoon, and we hope they remember those long hot sessions in August provided them with a victory on Saturday.
