DECEMBER 3,1980 Warriors Second In Tourney DONT FORGET THE GOLFER ON YOUR LIST I First Time In Annual Sycamore Classic © OFF OUR ENTIRE STOCK I IZOO- Sweaters & Shirts JAYMAR & NAMAR-Slacks Coach Ken Ludwig's McHenry High Warriors finished second in the Sycamore Holiday tourney over the weekend It was the first time ever that the Warriors advanced to the finals of this fine tourney. Even the great teams of 1974-75, 1975-76 did not reach the finals of the tournament. In 1974, West Aurora beat the Warriors • in the semi-finals, and that great team of 75-76 lost in the opening round to the same Blackhawk squad. The Warriors lost to Sterling 69 yo 51 in the final game. It is a tribute to the coaching staff and the Warrior squad, short on experience and height that they were able to go as far as they did in the tourney.The Warriors according to pre- tourney information, were to put in an appearance and go back home satisfied with competing in the tournament. But the surprising Warriors, playing a stellar pressure of defense, raised a few eyebrows including those of Warrior fans in attendance at the tournament. In the tourney opener against the highly rated DeKalb Barbs, the Warriors (after trailing 4 to 0 in the early minutes) grabbed a 10 to 8 lead at the midway mark on John Costigan's basket, and were never headed the rest of the game. The Warriors led at the end of the period 22 to 16. The second period saw more of the same, as the Warriors continued to match the taller, more talented Barbs basket for basket, and led at the intermission by four, 33 to 27. With Zeller, Costigan, Haley and Freund all hitting the hoop, the Warriors opened up their biggest lead of the day, 45 to 35 at 4:45 of the period. The rest of the period saw the Warriors slow the tempo and lead 53 to 45 going into the final frame. In the final period, the Warriors seemed a bit confused as the Barbs put on a full court press that seemed to bother the Ludwig crew, but Bob Greve, Zeller and Costigan hit the hoop for a fine Warrior win 68 to 61 over DeKalb, and advanced to the semi-finals against Belvidere. WIN IN OVERTIME On Saturday afternoon the Warriors came from behind to defeat Belvidere 51 to 44 in overtime. In a poorly played game during the first half, the Warriors trailed 21 to 15 going into the locker room in Sycamore. After a few words of wisdom from A LITTLE HELP--to the basket is given to Skyhawk guard Tom Pieper who scored two of his 18 points to pace the Johnsburg attack in Friday's loss to Fenton. The 5' 9" Junior scored 46 points in the tournament and led Skyhawk point- getters with a 15 points-per-game average. Giving Pieper a lift on his shoulder is Daniels of Fenton who scored 14 points including two crucial free throws to preserve the victory. STAFF PHOTO-JOEL WAKITSCH OPEN SUNDAYS TIL CHRISTMAS 1210 5! coaches Ludwig and Partenheimer, the Warriors looked like a different ball club. John Costigan's four baskets in the opening half kept the Warriors in the ball game. With Bob Greve leading the charge and with able help from Bob Zeller, the Warriors looked like a different team as they narrowed the gap 35 to 31 going into the final period. In the final period, the Warriors still within reach and with 12 seconds remaining Joe Bauml calmly stepped to the line and sank two clutch free throws to tie the game. On the in­ bound pass Bill Boeka, who did a great job of rebounding, grabbed the inbounds jxass to snuff out the Buc rally, and Greve's shot with 4 seconds remaining bounced off the rim, the game went into overtime. In the three minute period it was all Warriors as they outscored the Buc's 10 to S to advance to the finals. LOSE TO A GREAT TEAM In the finals on Saturday night the Warriors were simply out-classed by a super team. The Sterling crew could run, shoot and rebound at both ends of the floor, the mark of a good team. The Sterling five measuring 5'10", two, 6'3" players and a 6'4" and 6'5" player were by far the smallest the Warriors played in the two days of the tourney. After the early minutes of the first period the Warriors were simply outplayed and went down to defeat 69-51 and picked up the second place trophy. In talking with Coach Ludwig, he had nothing but praise for his squad. "We went with the idea to play as many games as possible, and we wound up with three, which gave our kids good experience" he said. He also was impressed with the composure his team had in the opening game against DeKalb, when the Barbs made a run late in the game at the Warriors, and also their come-from-behind win against Belvidere in the Saturday afternoon contest. He was pleased with the physical condition of his team in the finals, after going into overtime in the afternoon, came back to press the whole game in the finals. As Coach Ken said, "We really hustled in the final game." He commented on his players as he said, "Bob Greve and John Costigan had steady play during the tourney, and Bobby Zeller showed a lot of spark at times." Sean Haley played well grabbing numerous rebounds, and Bill Boeka and Mike Burgdorf came off the bench to add strength to the Warrior attack. In fact, Ludwig mentioned "Bill Boeka did a splendid job in our Belvidere game and actually was responsible for us winning the game." Joe Bauml did a fine job and the young lad can put in those free throws when they are needed. Chris Freund and Bob Byrniarksi played a fine support role, and after they get rid of their "jitters" will be a big help in the coming season. DickRabbitt ' The victory gave Marian a 3-0 record in 1960 and the tourney championship, as they beat Alden Hebron, 69- 48 last Tuesday and Nor­ thwestern Military Academy on Wednesday by a whop­ ping, 100-39 score. In the final game, Coach Hans Rokus was pleased with the overall balance of the team so far, and excited about Carl Brown in par­ ticular. "He just had an overall real good game against Richmond," Rokus said. "We seem to be getting quite a few players in doubje figures, so the balance is there." Brown added 9 points from HISTORY'S SCRAPBOOK DATES AND EVENTS FROM YESTERYEARS December 4, 1945 -- Senate approves U.S. ^participation in United Nations.

FOR CHRISTMAS SELECT GROUP OF MEN'S A WOMEN'S SKI JACKETS LIMITED QUANTITY INTEREST DOWN - COST UP Are you waiting until in­ terest rates drop before you buy a home? Do you think that this will save you money? The home you have your eye on will cost you more in monthly payments two years from now - even if the interest rate drops one percent. For example, take a home that costs $80,000. With a 20% down - payment and financed with a 25 year, 14% mor­ tgage, the monthly payment would be $904.96. But two years from now. if the price rose at 8% per year, the now $80,000 home would likely cost $93,312. If the interest rate decreased to 13%, not only would the down payment be $2,662 more, but the mon­ thly payment would increase to $1,009.13. If the interest rate stayed at 14% the payment would come to $1,055.41. So, it's obvious that the overall value of the home - not the interest rate - makes the biggest impact on your mon­ thly payment. Since there is no indication of property values decreasing, the moral of the story is - Buy now or pay more later. 9|c3|e9|c)|c3|ca|e>|e9|c If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or stop in at CENTURY 21 CARE REAL ESTATE, Rte. 120 - across from Jewel Foods - McHenry, Phone: 344-1033.

By a convincing 72-47 score, the Skyhawks shook off a disturbing 62-59 loss to Fenton on Friday, and handled the Wauconda five as Rick Neiss scored 16 to pace the Skyhawks. Wauconda had no one in double figures as Coach Bob Kies was pleased with his teams' defense. "The defense did Marian Central Defeats Richmond To Take Thanksgiving Tournament Forward Carl Brown pumped in 32 points on 7 field goals and 10 out of 12 free throws as Marian Central rapped up the three-day Thanksgiving Tournament at Marian, 88-79, over Rich­ mond Burton Friday night. Tuesday and 15 on Wed­ nesday for a Tourney total of 56 points for an average of 19 points per game. Scott Truckenbrod tallied 17, Brad Gregory, 14, Mike Sabatka, 12, Jim Mayer, 11 and Don Roughen, 2 in the final game against Richmond. Marian rarely found themselves behind against Richmond, leading 24-20 after period one, 44-35 at halftime and pulling away, 66-51 at the end of the third quarter. Against Alden-Hebron on Tuesday, Truckenbrod led Marian with 16 points and Mike Sabatka tallied 12 in a 69-48 beating. Marian led 33-20 at half- time, and upped the lead to 20 points midway through the third period as Rokus "tightened up the press a little bit and got fresh kids off the bench." The Hurricanes used a press the whole game, ac­ cording to Rokus, and the coach was pleased that the press wourked at times and that "we found the open man." Then, on Wednesday night, the Hurricanes put all 12 of its players to good use, as each pleayer scored at least 2 points in demolishing Northwestern Military and Naval Academy, 100-39. Five of the Hurricane cagers were in double figures as Don Roghen led the onslaught with 16, and Carl Brown and Scott Truckenbrod each put in 15. Brad Gregory pumped in 12, George Hartmann had 10, while Joe Johnson and Kevin Noonan tallied nine. Scott Spengel and Mike Sabatka each scored four points and Tim Sherwood, Tom McMahon and Dave Rickert all pushed in 2 points each. Marian will travel to Aurora Friday to take on Marmion. Joel Wakitsch everything I asked them to do," Kies said. "(Chuck) Novy and (Frank) Jakubicek dominated the boards with 13 rebounds apiece and our fast break as a result really worked well." Novy and Jakubicek scored 12 points each to go with their rebounding, while Tom Pieper added 11. Other scoring for Johnsburg in­ cluded Russ Beck, 6, Jeff Bartmann, 4, Tom Popovich, Randy Wakitsch, Scott Valentin and Gary Guetzloff all added two each. Unlike the tourney final game in which Johnsburg scored a total of 24 points on 23 Wauconda turnovers, the Skyhawks were unable to take advantage of 20 Fenton turnovers on Friday as they only converted on five of them in a nail-biting loss. On the other hand, Fenton converted 14 of Johnsburg's 23 turnovers, scoring 28 points. "We outshot them from the field and the free throw line, but still lost the game because of careless tur­ novers," the coach ad­ mitted. "We didn't have the experience against their press which turned things around for them." . Things turned around quick too. Johnsburg dominated the game totally throughout the first half as Neiss and Pieper teamed to score 19 first half points and carried a 39-31 lead into the intermission. Chuck Novy and Jeff Bartman showed good inside moves the first half also, each tallying 6 points, mostly on rebounds and tip- ins. In the third quarter, however, Johnsburg had trouble with full-court pressure by Tanzillio, Norton and Daniels of Fenton, and Johnsburg only led by 6 at the end of the third period. The Skyhawk offense fizzled as only Tom Pieper could generate any scoring clout, hitting for 10 points in the second half including two clutch free throws. But Fenton took over at the 3:00 mark of the last period as they converted on two travelling calls plus two steals and would never trail afterwards. Johnsburg did put on a late-game surge, however and came within one point on a 25-footer by Pieper to put the score at 60-59, but Pieper failed to call a time out with 13 seconds remaining and Rick Neiss was forced to foul Daniels of Wauconda with eight seconds remaining. Daniels hit two free throws and the game ended 62- 59,thus eliminating them from the championship. In game one on Wed­ nesday, Round Lake gave Johnsburg a tough match as Garcia tallied 18, Cheeks 14 and Wallen 12 for the host Round Lake squad. Round Lake led after one quarter, 12-8, but at the half pulled to a 36-30 lead as Johnsburg scored five baskets in six possessions, while Round Lake only converted once. "They went cold, and we just hit a hot spurt," Kies said. Johnsburg never trailed after that as Round Lake came within one point at the end of three quarters, 42-41. Pieper was hot the second half, adding 10 points to the cause as Chuck Novy also poured in 9 second-half points. Pieper led Johnsburg in the game with 17 points, followed by Novy with IS and Neiss with 12. Beck and Jakubicek both added six, while Jeff Bartmann had 4. Johnsburg will host North Boone Friday, and Coach Kies expects a very physical game- North Boone is 1-2 so far in 1960, losing to Oregon and Burlington, while handling Eerie in their last encounter.
