He also had 26 receptions for 349 yards averaging 14 yards per catch. .

Dennis Shaver The McHenry Plaindealer John Clewis Only one junior was chosen to the squad. That was quarterback Greg Bradshaw of the Woodstock Blue Streaks. A total of six quarterbacks were chosen by the coaches. Country Invitational. Carby placed second with a time of 14:57 and Creutz was 16th with a time of 15:26. Last year, Carby finished 32nd at the state meet and Creutz was 72nd. Both runners plan to improve con­ siderably from that finish this time. Hutchinson says Carby is still bothered by the side ache which knocked him out of the lead last Saturday. He doesn't quite know what the problem is. After Tuesday's practice, Carby felt the ache coming on later in the practice. Creutz, on the other hand, is healthy and ready to go. "There will be a lot of runners and it's going to be pretty tough to get everything you get," said Creutz. "I'll have to be under 15:00 and I have not done that this year. I think I'll do a lot better at this state meet than last year. Warrior Fall, Sports Banquet The McHenry Warrior fall sports banquet will be held at the West Campus Thursday at 7:00. The event is sponsored by the Warrior booster club. . \ The program will start in the main gym. Later on, awards will be feraWSS1 will end in the caferteria for refreshments. Sports that will be honored will be girls' swimming, girls' tennis, girls' cross country, boys' cross country, girls' volleyball, golf and football. Two is better than none. While the entire McHenry Warrior team has to be disappointed in not qualifying for the state meet Satur­ day, at least Steve Carby and Chris Creutz made it. Creutz, a sophomore, continued his hot streak by taking third at the sectional meet at Schaumburg and Carby fought off a nasty side achq to finish ninth. Both finishes were good enough to qualify indiviudally. Carby is a junior. Coach Bill Hutchinson and his top two runners will drive down to Peoria Friday. Competition is Saturday at Detweiller Park. There will be three races; class A boys, class AA boys and the girls' race. The Detweiller course is a flat course and the Warriors have not done to well on flat courses lately. Both regionals and sectionals were held on the Union 76 Oil Company grounds in Schaumburg -- a flat course. The Warriors finished second at regionals without Carby and finished a disap­ pointing seventh place at sectionals. The two lone Warrior represen­ tatives will be ready, according to Hutchinson. "They should do pretty good," he said. "We're aiming for the top 15. Both are strong runners and if it's there day, they will do it. "Both will have to be under 15:00 for three IL will be moi* or less a straight foot race." !2jK Both runners have previous ex­ perience with the state meet and the Peoria course. Earlier in the.season, the Warriors competed against 43 other schools in the Peoria High Cross Warrior cross country runner Chris Creutz holds a slim lead over a pack of runners during the sectional meet at Schaumburg.

Ttw5-9165 pound senior end snared nine%asses for 199 yat-ds and two touchdowns. But his big play of the daVjjccurred in the fourth quarter tffcjP&e caught what appeared to be a oyePfbrown bomb from quarterback John Kapowicz that set up the Mustangs's final touchdown. With 8:38 remianing in the game and Montini back at the south 47, Kapowicz let loose as Westerkamp bolted down field with two Gator defenders matching him step for step. At about the 12-yard line Wester- camp suddenly burst ahead of the South secondary, leaped forward and pulled the ball in off his finger tips at the six yard line. Fullback Rob Gorccyca then broke through the South line on the next play for the score and a 20-17 lead. "That catch broke our backs," said Gator coach Bob Hight, whose team earlier railed from a 20 to 3 deficit to within striking distance of the host Mustangs at 20-17 just three minutes before Westercamps grab. Montini Coach Chris Andriano agreed, "that catch that Westerkamp caught took the heart out of them, at 20-17 we were very worried. That's why that one catch was the back breaker." "He's the best receiver to come out of Illinois ever. I know I will never see another like that." You don't know how lucky you are. I hope the Residents of McHenry County and the rest of the Chicago area realize the quality of high school sports played here. After over a month of covering sports in McHenry County, I have formed a opinion of being impressed. Comparing the three years of covering sports in Wisconsin and what I have covered here is comparing night and day. Now, I'm not downgrading Wisconsin high school athletics. But, the Chicago area is just so much more advanced. Where I see the most difference is in football. My basic football game in Wisconsin was one team executing 90 percent running plays and a pass here and there. I was shock to see a high school quarterback put the ball up over 20 times in a game. I just want to say one thing to the armchair quarterback who has been complaining of no football to watch with the NFL Players Association strike -- you missed the boat. Illinois high school football is an exciting brand of football. Of course, football isn't the only sport to be impressed about. I always wanted to watch a professional golf tournament in person. Well, I watched the next best thing in person -- the McHenry Warriors. I don't know what Coach Chuck Cuda's secret is in teaching golf, but I sure would appreciate some lessons. The Warriors, as a team shot a 290 in the regional meet. That means each golfer had to shoot in the mid 70's. Andguess what? It didn't cost a cent to watch that regional meet held at McHenry Country Club. The list goes on with other sports. And in my estimation, It hasn't been a bad fall. The football team did have a sub-par season, but the Fox Valley is a tough conference. The However, Coach Joe Schlender has to find a way to make those point after touchdowns. It's no secret that problem was a key ingredient in the Warrior sub-par season. The golf team wait on and captured second place in the state meet in an exciting season. The Warrior boys' cross country team kept on that same route until hitting a brick wall at sectionals. And the girls' were no -slouches either. The fate of Jay Jackson of Johnsburg and Steve Carby of the Warriors proved that certain circumstances such as injuries will hinder performances and there is nothing you can do about it. Healthy, Jackson would have gone to the state meet and Carby might have captured the individual championship at the sectional race. And we cannot forget the Johnsburg volleyball team and its success. The Johnsburg football team went through a long season. They ended up sharing the basement with Lake Zurich and Grant with one win. Their might be some hope in the future, however. Both Antioch and Warren are leaving the Northwest Suburban Conference and the sophomore team turned in a respectable season. Also, quarterback, Jeff Westerkamp wasn't the only hero for the Mustangs who travel to Rich Central for, a Saturday class 4A quarterfinal match. Signal-caller Karopwicz was 14 out of 26 for 266 yards, while Gorzzeca and tail back Dan Laskero combined for 130 yards rushing and had a touchdown each. Mike Lamb Sports Editor Lake Region YMCA will be starting another youth bowling league Monday at the Metro Bowl in Crystal Lake. The league is open to grades second through eighth. The league will run for 10 weeks. During the first three weeks instruction will be given and teams will be picked. The last seven weeks is a tournament and two games are bowled each week. Trophies are awarded at the end of ,the 10 weeks to the first place team and the most improved bowler. Registration $ ntty being taken at the YMCA. Warriors proved with their win over then undefeated Crystal Lake South that anybody can win on any particular weekend despite records. The Warriors, who dwelled in the basement for most of the season, were not really blown out in any game. With many key personnel returning and the addition of juniors who were undefeated as sophomores this season, the Warriors might be a team to watch out for in the FVC.
