iFAf.F « - PI.AINDFAI.FR - WEDNESDAY. MARCH 22. 1978 # • BIJG BEAR - Dennis Lick wasted no time getting into the scoring asjbe gets his weight off the floor for this basket in the first period. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD AND THE GALS CHEERED - every time Doug Plank made a basket. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD EARL WALSH 7--* That was the week that was. With corned beef, cabbage and basketball coming out of my ears, it is time to start on a new track. Those beautiful cards, visitors and phone calls will set a fellow up for St. Patrick's Day. Sharon Klontz baked a cake with green coloring. "Red" Winkel, as per custom, brought Irish brew. The boss, Larry Lund, left a package of Irish tea on our desk. A plant of the day from grandchildren. Clyde Blackwell sent a note saying he grew up in an area here he hadn't heard of St. i airick until he was 23 years old: Ffe wore the wrong color and learned the hard way. I I^at and Bill Miller's card had thi^ on the outer cover: Don't read this St. Patrick's Day card until you sober up. And inside: Happy Easter! Arnold Rauen, a St. Joseph The Worker fan, received a beautiful card, then turned it over to use since he doesn't make much fuss over the 17th of March. (Heard he wore the green, thcyigh). i And so it went. Must read every one of those cards again. Eddie Buss was pulling for Dej^aul against Notre Dame in I Hear _ SPORTS EDITOR that much heralded basketball game, but called the shot. Notre Dame simply wore 'em down and Coach Ray Meyer's boys went cold on their shots in the last half. Jeff Schaefer, young son of the Gene Schaefers, was one happy fellow when his Notre Dame team won. Jeff is as much a Notre Dame fan as Grandpa Pete is for the White Sox. The high school state tour­ nament at Champaign brought out some great play as Lock- port proved to be the class of the group. It looked like Collinsville had a great chance for the title, but close doesn't count except in a horsehoe game. Glenn Draper obs^pved that coaches played a big part in several games as the men were separated from the boys. Some pull the right strings. One thing was evident in some games when the trailing team had to purposely foul in order to get the ball. The team in control can't dribble the ball. They have to pass it as soon as they get it. That's when teammates have to move in to take the pass instead of standing flat footed. Can still hear Coach Stringer yell, "Meet the ball". Thursday started festivities last weekend. Mass in the morning. The Chicago Bears - McHenry faculty basketball game in the evening with a bit of activity in between. r Those husky Bears looked mighty big against our faculty team, but the home boys hit from outside enough to stay in there. The Bears won a real barn burner 85 to 83. (That's what the scorekeeper said). The 17th started with break­ fast with Tom and Nora at Murphy's Corner in beautiful downtown Volo. It ended with a nosiy, happy crowd at Bimbo's. That's enough for another year. Fred Meyer looked a bit tired Sunday afternoon after steering the annual Forester state basketball tournament to another successful conclusion at West Campus. It's a big job. With McHenry and John- sburg courts sponsoring the tournament for many years, it has been an outstanding event. Duffy and Tobin were there as always, with Duffy wearin' the green. I wore my green tie to keep him company. Karen Lescher, who has done a bang-up job of reporting: bowling for her school grouf), sends a nice note of ap«. preciation for "airing" the news on this sport page. Hope to have you back again next year, Karen. Told John Stangarone that I was going to call on his dear mother many moons ago. Somehow, I never made it in spite of good intentions. Now she has left this earth. If I ever make it up there, you may be sure I will keep the promise. Lois Crouch celebrated her birthday Sunday and "Fox Hole Red" baked a cake. Unlike the old song, he must have known she was a - comin'. So -- we come to the end of the trail. Tune us in again Friday. Libertyville "Cats" Sink Water Warriors 124 To 54 By Dick Rabbitt Coach Jim Gorman's Libertyville Wildcats defeated the McHenry High "Water Warriors" 124 to 54 at West Campus last week.

PALACE McHenry School league 3-15-78 The season officially ended, but not on a sad note for we "rolled" out with a FUN NIGHT. Teams were arranged alphabetically and game No. 1 was regular bowling. Team one, composed of S. Blume, A. Boeldt, C. Buittner, and J. Cammelot, was the winner and really "ate up the prize"... a delicious pizza. Keeping the same teams, Scotch Doubles was the rule for game no. 2 and P. Jenkins and R. Homo, with a 'total of 327 pins, can be seen all over town sporting their prizes of St. Patty's Day toppers. For a truly "fun" finish, game no. 3 was Progression Bowl and a marvelous score of 50 won A. Boeldt a prize that is most "reflective" of his prowess. All that is left is the banquet, the prizes, and a lot of great memories. We'll look forward to next year and another sensational season. K. Lescher AVELLINI CONNECTS for a two-pointer as three members of the MCHS faculty are in no position to defend. The game between the Chicago Bears and the high school faculty drew a large crowd and most of the seats in the upper portion of the gym were filled. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Bears Defeat Faculty In Benefit Cage Game By Dick Rabbitt As expected the Chicago Bears basketball team defeated the McHenry High faculty last Thursday night in a Junior Class sponsored game at West Campus. The score on the board at the end of the game registered Bears 83 - Faculty 81, due to the ATHLETES AWAY TERRY RE1LLY Terry Reilly, sophomore guard on the Rocky Valley Junior College Basketball team has been named to the second team, All-Conference and also second team All-State for Junior colleges in Illinois. The Rocky Valley team compiled a 12-20 record and lost in the state tournament to College of DuPage who eventially became National Champions. During his year at Rocky Valley, Terry broke a number of records for the school. He broke the assist record for one game (15), had 261 assists for the year (old record was 137), and averaged 18.5 points per game for the season. He was the 4th leading scorer in the conference and averaged 50 percent from the field. Terry is being recruited by a number of schools for next year. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Reilly of McHenry. BRIAN MILLER Another starter on the Rock > Valley squad from McHenry was freshman Brian Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. "Hezzy" Miller. Brian averaged 12.5 points per game and plans to attend Rocky Valley again next year. Brian will also be quarterback for the Rocky Valley football team next year. fact that Mike Mroz keeper of the scoreboard kept adding points for the home team. In reality the score should have .rea^LBears 83 - Faculty 55. It was the wishes of the Bear management that Mike keep the score close, and he didn't disappoint the management The large crowd on hand were treated to some fine basketball on the part of, the Bears. Bo Rather split end was a deadeye from the corner. The lefty really had the crowd cheering, but almost brought a heart attack to the Bear coach when he fell and had to leave the game. However, Earl "Doc" Cooper, Warrior trainer, administered ice and Bo returned for the second half Big Jim Osborne showed why quarterbacks fear him, as he muscled his way to the basket for numerous rebounds. Gary Fencik former Barrington star, received a nice ovation, and the 6' 1" 190 pounder looked like a midget at times in the Bear huddle. The big middle line­ backer,Tom Hicks, was a barrel of fun on the floor. He almost put Jim Blum out for keeps as he landed on Jim going for a rebound. Poor Jim is still feeling the effects of all that weight on him. . Dennis Lick looked awesome on the court. One can see why Walter Payton gained so much yardage, as the big 6' 5" 265 lb lineman can really move up and down the court. Allen Ellis with his quickness showed why he was an All Pro defensive back. Virgil Livers, a very likeable fellow, amazed the fans with his jumping ability. Bob Avellini. the quarterback of the Bears, is also quite a basketball player. Bob made twelve baskets most of them from the top of the circle. Although he didn't come on too strong with the fans, you do have to admire his athletic ability. . .' . . Last but not least was the clown of the team, and a very personable fellow to chat with before the game. Doug Plank won the hearts of the girls, when he rushed up into the stands and kissed a very lovely sophomore gal. From that time on, it was all Plank in the hearts of Warrior fans. The hard hitting defensive back plays basketball with the same vigor that he displays on the football field. It was no secret that these fellows are good all around athletes. They displayed courtesy to the faculty and to the fans attending the game. They stayed around after the game and signed autographs until the last one left the gym. Friday we will give you some of the chit chat of the locker room before and after the game. have a nice weekend.
