Shooting Troubles Lead To Lady Warriors Loss IV - CINDIKINSALA CRYSTAL LAKE -- Plagued by -inconsistency and a poor* shooting ! percentage, the McHenry Warrior 1 girls' basketball team lost its third [game in a row, losing to Crystal t^ake Central 51-32. The loss drops the Warrior Fox Valley Conference record to 2-4 and 'thfe Tigers raised their record to 4-2. TJie Warriors are 3-9 overall. ' The shooting percentage of both teams proved to play a big part in the game as Central shot at 43 percent and McHenry at 28 percent. "We gave them too many easy shots and we did too much standing," said Warrior coach, Pat Wirtz. The first quarter was a good in­ dication of the outcome of the game as it ended with an 18-4 Tiger lead. The Tigers kept the Warriors from working to the basket as they threw the Warriors their tough Tiger full- court press. "They were (Tigers) were not in the first quarter," arrior guard Gary Freand iries 10 find a open teammate, while two Trojans arm around liim. Number 12 of the Trojans is Jeff Block. The Warriors efeaied the Trojans 73-60. STAFF PHOTO -- WAYNE GAYLORD LouverDrape Vertical Blinds NOW TIL Faint GLASS & WALLPAPER 3411 W. ELM- 385-7353 AiTlST SUPftHS-MHKOtS ^ explained Wirtz. It was not until after three minutes that the Lady Warriors could score. While trailing 6-0, Lynn Podpora opened up the game for the Warriors with a free throw. The Tigers followed with three more baskets and with only two minutes left, Cissy Pinkstaff added two points to the McHenry score. After four more points for the visitors, Pinkstaff hit again with a free throw, but the Tigers followed immediately with a basket as the first quarter ended. The second quarter looked like a brand new Warrior team took the court as Karen Karpavicious started Wftft two McHenry points. After one-and-half minutes, the Tigers scored, but Sara Prust played a fine defensive game as she stole the ball and went in for two more Warrior points. Again the Tigers followed with a basket to take a 12 point lead. Terri Blume added two free throws and was followed by Rennee Mezzano and Prust, who each made one. The Tigers did not score again in the second quarter, while Prust ended the half with a 15-footer to bring the Warriors within three baskets to the Tigers, 22-16. "We were doing a great job in the second quarter. We finally started to pull it all together," said Wirtz. Unfortunately, that was the closest the Lady Warriors would get as they fell apart completely in the second half. "We had took many shots and had no rebounding. And there were way too many passes," said Wirtz, commenting on the Lady Warriors 40 turnovers. The Tigers high scorers were Laura Jensen 15 points and Dianne Pilgard 14. "Except for the second quarter, the girls seemed to have many mental lapses as they were out of position too often. However, how can a team expect to win with only 11 out of 39 baskets," Wirtz said. Makin 11 baskets in 39 attempts figures to be an average of less than three baskets per quarter. The Warriors will travel to Crystal Lake again on Thursday and take on the South Gators. On Saturday, the Warriors will have the home-court advantage against Jacobs. Ice Fishing Derby The 23rd annual Chain-O-Lakes Ice Fishing Derby and Winter Festival will be held on Petite Lake, Feb. 12 and 13. The event is sponsored by two non-profit organizations, the northern Illinois Conservation Club and the 885 Civic Club of Antioch. Proceeds from this Derby are utilized for civic and conservation work. While the rest of the Warrior team is struggling, center Mark Peterson has been on a hot streak, scoring 50 points in the last three games. He sewed 20 in this game, against Cary-Grove. Both Rick Vordermark of the Trojans and Peterson go after the rebound. Jeff Block is the Trojan looking on. STAFF PHOTO -- WAYNE GAYLORD Grapplers Lose Another Close One For the fourth match in a row, the McHenry Warrior wrestling team lost by only seven points or less. This time the Tigers of Crystal Lake Central topped the Warriors, 33-30. The Warriors held a early com­ manding lead, but lost the match in the last three weight classes. The Warriors lost two of the matches and Central edged by. The match was the Warriors final Fox Valley Conference battle. The Warriors finished with a 2-5 mark, tied with Jacobs and Dundee for fifth place. It was the first win for the Tigers in the FVC, who finished with a 1-6 record and finished last. The Warriors will prepare for the FVC meet this weekend. "It was another one of those," said Marty Sobczak, coach of the Warriors. "Not that we are getting used to it, but you have to give credit to Crystal Lake Central. They wanted to win it very badly." Only two Warrior wrestlers pinned their opponents, compared to four Tiger pins. John Keevil at 105 pounds pinned Scott Roza in 3:23. Keevil, a senior, now has an 8-11 overall record and 4-3 in conference. Another senior, Mike Love, also pinned his opponent, Greg Scot, in 1:37. Holding down the 132 pound spot most of the season, Love has an 16-7-1 overall record and 4-1-1 conference record, with eight pins. "Some of the kids didn't plan very far ahead to think on what they had to do," said Sobczak. "We had another freshmen wrestle, at 98-pounds. Chris Schwann was a little tentative. He didn't know if he was ready, but he told me if we needed him, he would wrestle." Schwann was pinned by Joe Crammer at 1:31. "The upper weights just can't sit back while the other kids wrestle. We are waiting for them, while the lower weights improve their records. It sounds repetitious, but the lower weights are over shadowing the upper weights performance. I'm really proud of them." Eric Gaza and John Clewis won decisions for the Warriors. Gaza, at 119 pounds, defeated Geoff Scot 15-9 and holds an 8*8-1 overall record and a 5-1 conference record. Clewis °decisioned Bob Halter, 7-2, raising his records to 6-5 overall and 4-1 in the FVC. Vfcv. Earning team points through for­ feits were Ric Connor at 112 pounds and Bob Sarabia at 126 pounds. Sarabia has a 16-7 overall and 4-1 conference record. ****** The freshmen and junior varsity teams both defeated Crystal Lake Central last Thursday, with winning scores of 59-9 and 40-16. Grayslake Turn Back Skyhawk Wrestlers GRAYSLAKE -- Still looking for their first Northwest Suburban Conference win, the Johnsburg Skyhawk wrestlers didn't find it Friday against the Grayslake Rams. The Rams defeated the Skyhawks el­ s' The loss drops the Skyhawks NWSC record to 0-7 and 5-13-1 overall. The only win for the Skyhawks came from Guy Bazilwich at 98- pounds. He defeated Eric Russell 15-2 on a superior decision. "Hurkes (Mike) dropped to 132- pounds agaisnt Steve Babuta and was beaten 9-4. This was a major disap­ pointment, but he believes he has the capability to take it all the way to the floor of the Assembly Hall (state meet)," said Don March, cbach of the Skyhawks. Hurckes lost to Babuta by a 9-4 score. All of his losses have come to double A wrestlers according to March. The Skyhawks were also plagued by four forfeits, but that didn't bother March. "I feel that the shift in em­ phasis to our lower levels has payed off. We have been successful in winning the frosh level contests on both the last conference matches with Lake Zurich and Grayslake," said March.

I "Ken Ludwig, coach of the Jvarriors, was not a happy man after the game. "Our defense was just plain terrible," said Ludwig. "The way we clayed defense tonight, they must l&ye shot 100 percent. It wasn't a good basketball game. We won, but at this time of the season we should be playing better." Randy Lively's two baskets and a pair by Bill Herrmann put the Warriors up 14-6 and they hung on to lead at the buzzer, 18-13. Early in the second period, Corey Scott's basket put the Warriors ahead 25-15, but the pesky Trojans came roaring back, holding the Warriors scoreless for 2:45 and crept to within four, 33-29 at the intermission. Both teams shot near the fifty percent mark during the initial half and although the miscues were lower than in previous games, it was not a real good brand of basketball. In the third period, with Lively and Bauml getting the ball to Peterson, the big guy began to hit the tur­ naround jump shot. His four baskets helped the Warriors to a 50-43 third quarter lead. Midway in the final period, the ' Warriors began to increase their margin to 13, 63-53 and then traded baskets with the Trojans the rest of the way for the victory. Bill Herrmann and Mark Peterson scored 16 points each to lead the Warriors. Rick Vodermark of the Trojans led all scorers with 18. The loss to Dundee pretty much squelched any Warrior contention The McHenry Plaindealer hopes in the FVC with 6-3 record. All Ludwig could say after the game was, "It just wasn't in the books for us to win." The Warriors and Cards battled ick and forth in the first period, to Bill Herrmann's three baskets. And it was 14 all with one minute remaining, when the Cards came up with two baskets to put them ahead 18-14 at the end of the period. Mark Peterson's three baskets brought the Warriors to a 21-20 deficit and at the 4:45 mark, Gary Freund's basket still left the Warriors trailing 23-22. But disaster struck. The Warriors were held scoreless for the remaining time, as Colon Kelly and crew ran up 14 unanswered points for a comfortable 37-22 halftime margin. The Warriors had the shots, but they just wouldn't go in the hoop. The Cards made seven of 10 shots during that span and were only called for three fouls during the first 16 minutes of play. At the 3:30 point of the period, the Warriors on Randy Lively's three point play (the Warriors first time at the charity line), came within 10, 47- 37. A minute later, Peterson's basket got the Warriors to their closest margin, 49-40. But the Cards hit the hoop again and the Warriors trailed 55-42. In the final period, the Warriors again hit a cold spell, going three and one-half minutes without a score as the Cards raced to a 59-42 lead Then Peterson and Livley began to find the range, but it was too late. Peterson was one bright spot over the weekend. He has scored 50 points in the last three games, 20 of which came on Saturday night.
