It was a typical Streak-Warrior game, a battle down to the final gun. With the hot shooting Scott Dixon, the Warriors jumped off to an early 10 to 3 lead, but the Streaks narrowed the gap to 16 to 13, as Dixon had 5 baskets in the opening period. Coming off the bench in the second period, Don Bentz picked up the slack and the big fellow canned four buckets, along with the help of Doug Oeffling and the Warriors led at the intermission 33 to 29. The third period was more of the same as both teams played even until in the closing seconds Schwebke of the Streaks made a turn around jump shot at the buzzer to bring the Streaks within 2, 47 to 45. In the early going of the final period the Warriors managed to keep a slim margin and after Partenheimer's free throw at the midway mark the Warriors led 54 to 50. With 2 minutes remaining Schwebke hit a short jumper to put the Streaks ahead for the first time in the ball game 55 to 54. Oeffling countered with a 15 footer to once again put the Warriors ahead 56 to 55 and with Bentz's two free throws with eight seconds remaining, Schroeder's basket for Woodstock at the gun was not quite enough and the Warriors had another win. Turnovers were plentiful as the Streaks had 24 to the Warriors 19. However, the smaller Warriors outrebounded the taller Streaks 28 to 24. S Andy Schwebke of the Streaks led all scorers with 25 pts. Scott Dixon led the Warriors with 16.

Finished a November 1976 magazine this week. Jim McAndrews phoned to say that "Spots" Thurlwell, former McHenryite, passed away in Arizona. "Spots" was a loose-jointed big fellow who could pitch baseball like you seldom see in a small community. He pitched for the "McHenry Bums" when many fans considered them the town's second team. Far be it from that rating. They were a rollicking group of local boys who knocked off some mighty good teams on Sunday afternoons. Bob Weber came to the rescue! For years he has been saving a certain type of weekly calendar for me. This year I was lost without my favorite week-at-a-glance number, but Bob came to our door with a good one. Now the year should run smoothly. Sports writers knock the Super Bowl football game as a fumbling, bumbling contest. I dunno. Those players don't simply drop the ball. The big giants on defense were tackling the ball all afternoon and slamming hard. Just try to hang onto a football when some big whopper hits you on one side and the other guy pulls your arm. In a real old time barn burner, the McHenry Warriors edged the visiting Woodstock Blue Streaks Tuesday night, 58 to 57. Coach Ludwig has enjoyed the luxury of some classy guards in recent years, including his own sons. This year the word was out that the guards were not up to the standard recently seen. Maybe Scott Dixon and Doug Oeffling heard those stories. They certainly played a game of basketball for their coach Tuesday night. Scott was a ball of fire as the game got under way and led his team out to a good lead.

Tim Byers and Mark Mayer did their part when needed. With only 8 seconds left on the clock and the Warriors leading by one point, Bentz sank two free throws with all the calmness of a veteran pro. It was March Madness in January at the final whistle. The unsportsmanlike conduct of hootin' and hollerin' when players shot free throws raised its ugly head again. We couldn't pin point this on the students. The Pom-Pon girls put on a half time show that brought a rousing hand from the crowd. & -- The ageless "Mac" McCracken saw the game and left with a big smile. Our friend and everybody's friend, Gary Collins, came up from Crystal Lake. The Mike Wiesers had to leave early and missed the wild finish. You should see Mike's big hat. Just give him his boots and saddle. Stopped at Bimbo's after the game and found it was Gals Night Out. Out bowling. As a finishing touch, Jo Rizzo passed a tasty Italian something (can't remember the name) that made mouths water. She baked the nameless dish herself. 'Twas darn good. ~ Jan. 16,1978 Dear S.I.H.: At the risk of becoming a "faithful contributor" I'm giving in to the urge to send along my grandson's latest gem: He phoned his boy friend to give him astonishing news.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD your "recent recollections" with interest and yes "How about Green St.?" You forgot to mention my dad who was the only tailor in town from 1920 after John Lodtz left; my father occupying first his shop - then Main St., where the barber shop is now and lastly in Pries' building the door left of the Office Supplies, that is now part of Varese's Rest. My father's name was Jos. Dittrich and we lived across the st. from your home on Broad and Green St. As a child I skated on the old Mill Pond and graduated from now called "Landmark" school. The Hoffmanns came the same year and opened a bakery that same year which was probably where Carey Electric is now or St. Regis restaurant, which burned down in 1926 the year we both left. My sisters took piano from Maud Curr and one was in the same class in school with Bernice Unti, whose father I remember (with an Uncle John) had an ice cream parlor on Green and Elm where they now sell jewelry and could have been after the one located where McHenry Drapery is now. My father did all the alterations for McGee's before and after they moved across the St. Because I helped in the store I was familiar with all the people you mentioned, perhaps a few before my time tho. I loved it so much here that after I retired I decided to "come home again" after 50 years. Sincerely, Barbara K. (Dittrich) Hoeh Dear Barbara: They all come home to McHeipy, although i must admijt that in recent months several have expressed regrets about McHenry growing too fast. When I tell them "That's progress," they have other names for it. Green Street has been my Waterloo. I missed a few. Sure - I remember your father as an excellent tailor. Glad to have you share so many fond memories and happy to know you read S.I.H. Warriors Travel To Libertyville Tonight By Dick Rabbitt Coach Ken Ludwig will take his McHenry high Warriors to Libertyville tonight for a North Suburban conference game. The Warriors are fresh from a win over Zion last Friday, their first of the season in the conference. The win broke a six game losing streak for the local team. The "Cats" of Larry Leon are 0 and 6 in the North Suburban, and haven't won a game in 14 outings. Coach Leon lost his complete squad by graduation last year, and to say the least he is in a rebuilding year. The "Cats" are led by transfer Mike Lischewski. a 6'2" forward who is averaging 17 'pts per game. Pete Schneider a 6'2" senior, Dave Czosek a 5'11" senior, Tom Cummins a 5'U" senior and junior 6'2" Jeff Romeo are other members of the starting five. Like other coaches in the North Suburban, Coach Ludwig is a bit wary of the Wildcats. One knows that a Larry Leon team can stay down only so long, and everyone is hoping that they don't break loose while they are playing the Cats. The Warriors showed some spark last Friday night. The zone defense kept the ZeeBees at bay for most of the game. If Jeff Partenheimer, A1 Reinboldt, and Scott Dixon can keep up the good work, along with Doug Oeffling, who had a bad shooting night at Zion, and Marty Deener can come up with the key rebound, the Warriors can notch up another win tonight. Coach Ludwig can go to the bench if needed and not be hurt. Don Bentz, Barry Paulsen, Tim Byer, and Mark Mayer have all contributed iir one way or another this season. It should be a good ball game. It is always an interesting game when these two old rivals meet. Tonight should be no different.
