Weathering the storm of competition and moving into the finals In the senior division were none other than Johnsburg and McHenry. When the smoke of a great battle was over, the coveted championship went to the Johnsbnrg! team by a final scora of 61 to 58 J - The early part of the game J brought out some of the hottest basket shooting of the entire tournament. The Johnsbnrg five went into a 7-2 lead in no time and held the edge 17-15 at the first quarter ' mark: ' McHenry fans rested much easier by the time the first half ended and their favorites had begun to click to move into a 35 to 28 lead. McHenry Bogs Down The second halt hadn't gone very far before it wag apparent that the McHenry five was bogging down. Their shooting was way off, aeveral shots falling far short of the basket, In the third period the new champa out-scored McHenry 21 to 11 to move into a 3-point lead of 49-46 that held up at the finish. While the game was hard-fought, It did not produce the fouling one might expect. The game was decided On field goals. Lloyd Freund was hotter than a firecracker in sinking* 8 field goals and 1" free throw. Bud Miller was another to give MoHenry fita as he swept down the middle to sink 5'shots while the Jackson brothers spread McHenry's defense with maneuvers toward the sidelines. Art contributed 13 points, Joe 12 and both finished strong in protecting their slim lead. Giant Connie The giant of the series, Connie Miller, played the game of his life. His rebounding, contnol- of jump balls and all-around1, play combined as a big stumbling block In McHenry's attack. *' Peterson, Larkin and Nelas, McHenry's big front line, dtd a good job of pointmaking as they have in many a gafrfe. But, this time it wasn't enough. Heline, speedy little marksman, took the fancy of the orowd during bis stay in the game. Hfs four baskets sparked McHenry for a while. McHenry's Bud Miller and Carl Neiss both suffered charley-horses that gave Manager Fred "Meyer a headache. Thus, a fine team that has merited top honors for the past three years was tumbled from the throne by a spirited new group of champions. The game was close, hardfought and crowd-pleasing all the way--a rouging finish to a' big event. Congratulations . to ths new champions.
