Mr. Bungard has had three years' experience in his line, being employed at Hebron hardwares. Defeats Woodstock In Final Game At • Marengo Saturday Night; Hebron Third. : t, Crystal Lake won for the second consecutive year the McHenry county basketball championship in a stellar game played between Crystal Lake and Woodstock Saturday night ending in an 18-15 score. Hebron won third place from Huntley. Woodstock put up a whale of a game against the Lakers, but they were partially handicapped as the result of illness of four of the members of the Blue and White squad, who, although suited up, etc., were not able to do tiheir very best. Crystal Lake, however, played good basketball throughout the entire tournament and really merited the crown which they received. McHenry wis eliminated in the very first encounter they went into, sad to say. Crystal Lake held the lead in the score over McHenry during all the last three quarters, and, with the exception of a few spurts by McHenry had nothing to worry about. The errand finale arrived with McHenry four points behind the Lakers', the score being 23-19. Needless to say this defeat in the first evening of the three-day tournament rather took the pins out from under the McHenry fans and the team itself. However, the shining side of the defeat is that the boys aren't worn out for the district tournament this week, by having t6 play the strenuous games of the county tournament. Coach Stringer still has lots of hops for his squad and is relying on them to overbalance the ignomy of last week's defeat by playing some stellar basketball on Friday, (tomorrow) when they will meet Harvard in the opening encounter for McHenry in the District tournament. The game by quarters: Kinsala started things rosily for McHenry by making one of his usual nifty rimmers, the first basket in the quarter. Red Fay shortly after gained one free throw. This kind of iarred the nerves of the Lakers and thev accordingly took time out and decided upon a drastic plan of action. And in they came and piled up two baskets and two free throws under McHenry's nose after no Jittle action. McHenry brought the ball down through the opposing ranks exceptionally well but just didn't have an eye on the basket, for they missed uninterrupted shots while close to the basket, baskets which they usually make without a quiver. And again many attempts at long shots were ruined by a lack of "English" on the ball, as they fell one to two feet short time after time. The first period ended 6-3 in the Lakers' favor. Joe Barbian made the only real honest-to-goodness sensational basket of the game by rimming a beautiful long shot covering over half the distance of the floor. Jimmie Fay followed this by another appreciated basket. And again Joe Barbian stepped in and landed a second sensational basket before the wondering eyes of Crystal Lake. This raised McHenry's score up to nine. In the meantime the Lakers piled up two baskets and one free throw, which gave them still the lead of two points as their total was eleven. Beginning of second half time was started off by Zookie Kinsala sinking in the one and only basket of the quarter for the Orange and Black. This tied the score 11-11 and the rollicking hopes of MlcHenry were brought up to a high pitch, the fans wishing frantically for another basket to give them the long lost lead, but their wish didn't come true and Crystal Lake forged ahead, scoring three baskets. End of the third quarter time found the score 17-11 in the Lakers' favor. Bob Conway scored one basket and two free throws, Red Fay and Kinsala each one basket in the opening of the final round. This brought McHenry's score up to 19. But again the Lake team ran up still a higher score by making two baskets and two free throws. McHenry fought desparately for a gain, but to no avail as they just couldn't make the basket when they did get their hands on the ball. And, therefore, the game ended 23- 19 in favor of the Lake team. Announcement of the schedule for McHenry in the District tournament - • I Taxes!
