Even travel conditions forced Jean Natoli s badminton team to cancel. Elgin was to visit West campus, but were forced to stay in the Watch Guy. Tbeannual McHenry County Basketball banquet was held Tuesdaynight at West campus, with over 200 in attendance. This is an annual event sponsored by the County newspapers. With the addition of the girls teams this year, the crowd was larger than in past years. George Lanaford, the sports editor of the Chicago Tribune was the main speaker. The native of Jot City, Tennessee spoke of his high School pi which were humorous indeed, as he claimed the number one bench warmer in the state. He spoke of something that will be of interest to county fans. He mentioned that the Tribune has taken a new attitude toward high school sports in the suburbs. Langford's Views,- First "Player of the Week" PAGE 7 • PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. APRIL I, lttt was example county would be covered on a page at least once a wc during the school year. He caught some flak about the poor high school coverage outside the city of Chicago. With only one full -- , -- report* coverage will be much better. We sure hope that he carries through with that idea. " He thought that in the very near future because of finances that the Cubs will have night baseball. He struck a favorable note with the crowd when he said, "Wrigley field is still the biggest babysitting area in the world". He went on to say that even though the Chicago Tribune owns the Cubs, the paper will still make comments of the unfavorable nature if the team plays poor baseball. Joe Schlender, the popular Atheltic director at McHenry high school was the emcee and did an excellent job. He talked a little longer than his halftime speeches, giving a profile of the athletes honored. If he doesn't watch out he will be in great demand on the banquet circuit. Congratulations are in order to three old friends who were honored Tuesday night. Gary Collins of Crystal Lake South was selected Coacn of the Year in Class AA. Linda Brady, coach of the girls team at Crystal Lake Central was honored as Coach of the Year in Class AA. And Hans Rokus of Marian Central, Coach of the Year in Class A. On behalf of the Warrior staff and athletes I would like to wish all of you a Happy Easter. Geotge Langford, sports editor of the Chicago Tribune and guest speaker at the All-McHenry County basketball banquet Tuesday night, offered an attentive audience his feelings on a variety of topics during a brief question and answer period. While he admitted that the coverage within the Tribune Sports pages had been restricted mainly to the happenings of the immediate city, he added that in the future the newspaper would try harder to reach the suburbs and their events. He also added that something else to look forward to would be a new typa face, sharper clearer photos, and a better grade of paper as a new printing process would go - into operation in a few months^ Langford also offered an idea that colleges should have set curriculums for their athletes to follow, citing that on occasions athletes have "graduated" that could neither read or write. These assigned curriculums would insure that the athlete would leave the university with a proper education and have something to look forward to in later life. Bullpen By Carl Moesche Regarding Notre Dame coach Richard "Digger" Phelps' comments con­ cerning some college's that issue as much as $40,000 to attract players to the school, Langford said that the problem is too great to handle. He mentioned that there are 20 or so federal in­ vestigators who seek these type of scandals, but they usually track down only the top 20 players in the country, those seen most in the public's eye. The rest of the athletes being paid under the tables go relatively undetected as there just isn't enough manpower to control it. Langford also defended his paper's objective coverage of De Paul's third straight collapse in the first round of the NCAA playoffs, despite the harsh criticism of Blue Demon coach Ray Meyer about the rough media treatment. He said that his writers had told it like it is, as with only one regular season loss, De Paul shouldn't have lost to Boston College and everybody knew it. Similar criticism will also be thrust upon the Chicago Cubs, should they perform less than expected, Langford said. Although the Tribune Co. owns the Cubs, the coverage will be treated as if they were owned by someone else, he added. Langford also felt that Bradley University should have received an Invitation for the NCAA tournament, and it proved it by waltzing through the NIT. Indeed, the Braves were an excellent team. Speaking of excellence, this edition marks the first in a continuing Friday series that a McHenry area "Player of the Week" will be spotlighted based on his or h e r o u t s t a n d i n g achievement from the previous week. The athlete chosen will be from our immediate cir­ culation area including athletes from the three high schools that we cover, namely McHenry, John- sburg, and Marian Central. While the Spring sports from these three high schools incorporate a total of 17 different teams, it is impossible that I will be able to see each team perform during the week. Therefore, it is essential for the coaches to turn in the information on their respective sports in order for their athletes to receive consideration. My inagural selection is senior Dave Smith of McHenry high school who was nobody's fool last Thursday, April 1 as he helped the Warrior baseball team to an 8-5 victory at Streamwood. A returning letterwinner who batted .293 on the varsity in 1981, Smith collected three hits in four trips to the plate to lead all batters. He was also the winning pitcher for coach Brian Wilson's club as he hurled five and one-third innings allowing four hits, one earned run, and one walk, while striking out four.

She converted 52 percent of her field goals and 84 percent of her free throws to lead the team, and she finished second in both assists and steals. She concluded her four-year varsity career as a unanimous selection to the conference and tl\e county teams. Dehn was the Skyhawks most prolific scorer as she poured in 455 points for a team leading 22.8 average and also established a new school record for points in a game with 47. The senior forward also led the team in rebounds with 196 and steals with 79. The four-year letterwinner. is Johnsburg all-time scoring leader with 852 points and was voted most valuable by her teammates. • Rounding out the first team were senior Tammi Dunker of Marengo, junior Lori Kramarczyk of Har­ vard, and sophomore Tiffani King of Richmond-Burton. Johns burg's Cheri Kofler and Marian's Debbie Liggett headed the second team selections. One of the best leapers and perhaps the fastest player in the SHARK conference, Cheri Kofler overcame a mid-season injury to help the Skyhawks to another win­ ning season. The senior center con­ tributed enough to rank second on the team in steals with 51 and second in rebounds with 124. She was also third in scoring with a- 10.5 average. The Johnsburg honorary captain was a second team All-SHARK conference selection. Probably the only player selected based on her defensive ability, Liggett was the stopper in the Marian lineup. While scoring at a modest 7.8 clip, the senior forward was in­ valuable leading the team in rebounds with 145, steals with 70, and forced jump halln as she tied up 43 op­ ponents. She also joined Kofler as a second team All-SHARK selection. Completing the second team of the girls Class A squad were Marengo seniors Michelle Hoeft and Jodi Hoch and Richmond-Burton sophomore Julie Moore. There were no honorable mention players selected in girls Class A. Tom Faber of Richmond- Burton was selected as the girls Class A Coach of the Year for leading the Rockets McHENRY -- McHenry high school's girls bad­ minton team made it a clean sweep against North Chicago last Wednesday as the varsity team won 7-0 and the junior varsity won 5-0. In number one varsity wingles, Donna Hoch won 1- 2, 11-6, 11-2 over the Hawks' Chris Haggerty. Julie Dowell, the Warriors' number two player, blanked Jean Paras in straight sets 11-0,11-0, and to their first-ever 20-win season. The remaining Class A girls coaches that were recognized included Mary Stoner and Bud Grover of Marian Central, Sharal Koenigseder of Johnsburg, David Swengel of Harvard, and Becky Weinhandl of Marengo. Carl Moesche at number three singles Char Einweck handled Erin Castro 6-11, 11-5, 2-0. McHenry's doubles teams were all victorious in straight sets. The Warriors' number one tandem of Valerie Boeldt and Kim Miller defeated Kathy Holloway and Kim Waggener 15-5, 15-2, while number two Sue Toussaint and Jonnie Jo Huhn defeated Mary Hall and Dana Williams 15-0, 15-7.
