MCHS CAGE TEAM BEATS LAKE GENEVA Little Warriors Continue Their Winning Ways By Juck Pepping Last Friday night the McHenry Warriors took on Lake Geneva on our home floor and beat them to the tune of 51-36. Coach Fulton's boys were running all the way as they played fine team ball. Stan Aim continued to show everyone a fine brand pf ball as he hit from both inside and out for 14 points. Another big factor Was Ron Ford, who found his mark with his jump shot and also kept up his work on the boards. The first quarter showed the Warriors fast-breaking and Geneva couldn't keep up as the quarter ended 1M with McHenry out in front \ WARMOftS Ut HOT-SHOTS VI MOTLEY HVE Win First Game1 Of County Meet By 71-46 Score : , Last Saturday night in their first county tournament game the Warriors romped ov<|r Huntley by a score of 71-^6. The Warriprs played their best game of the season as they displayed fine team ball and dead-eye shooting. Last Saturday's game saw the Warriors run up their highest score of the season. All the Warriors showed their stuff as the scoring was well divided, although this time it was big Ron Ford who led the barrage. Ron's jump shot was burning up the nets while his rebounding was "par excellence". The Warrior press seemed to confuse Huntley from the start as they played sloppy ball and threw the ball away on numerous occasions. Then, also, there was our fast break, which Huntley couldn't seem to stop. The Warriors were unstopable as they burned up the nets for a 26 point total in the first quarter and the quarter ended with the Warriors on top 2ti- 7. • Pressing Uame „ In tbe second quarter theWar- When the thi Lake Geneva looked Bob Walters has been . a surprise package all the way.

The Warriors were faced with beating a team rated eighth in the state when they faced Hebron. Hebron took off to a strong lead before the McHenry boys could get tlie range. However, they found the margin narrowed in the second quarter and led 35 to 23 at the half. McHenry wasn't outfought, but faced too many big guns in the Hebron attack.

The Warriors played their finest game of the season as they never let down for a minute. Marengo was a high flying bunch who expected an «asy trip to the semifinals and were greatly surprised by, a peppy Warrior five. The Warriors jumped to an early lead as Lawrence took the opening tip and drove in for thj score, but the Warriors didn't stop there as they hit on their first 7 shots and 11 of their first 12. Stan Aim scored 9 points in the first quarter and John Lawrence 6. As the firat quarter, ended the. Warriors; had built up . a 1&- 12 lead. , - .. In the second quarter the Warriors rolled on as Lawrence hit 6 -more and big Ron Ford scored 7. Marengo still could not keep up with the Warriors and its the half ended the Warrio^ built up a 36-25 lead. Marengo Closes Gap " j. i. .... --..- TBasKKawsigsMi* In the third quarter the Warriors' output dropped and Marengo began to close the gap. Fear struck in the hearts of Warrior fans as they began to wonder if the team would let down as they did in their last meeting with Marengo. The Warriors held a slim 42-39 edge us the final period began. In the final quarter Marengo played their best ball aud the Warriors were beginning to surge back again. The entire gym was in a frenzy as Marengo moved closer arid closer. Marengo finally caught us as the score was .deadlocked 43-43. Then Marengo fought into a 45-43 lead, but the Warriors came back to knot it up at 45 all! Now it was the Warriors turn to take -charge as Ford tallied two free shots and we led 47-45. Time began to run out and the Warriors clung to a slim 55- fi3 lead as the clock showed 45 seconds left to play. The Marengo Indians then brought the house to its feet as they scored to even it up at 55-55 as the buzzer sounded. Walters Sinks Big One The Warriors entered an overtime and the rest became history. Bobby Walters took a long 35- foot set shot to score. The Warrior fans leaped to their feet rejoicing over a 57-55 lead. &till the Warriors refused to quit. Lawr» ence scored a free throw and so did Ford, making the score 59-55. The Warriors stalled out the last quarter to win as Marengo failed to score when it counted, in the overtime. John Lawrence led the scoring as he hit for 17. Stan Aim, who was a sparkplug in the attack, was a close second \gith 15 and Ron Ford scored 13. Another achievement of big Ron was the way in which he stopped Fox cold. In our last meeting with the Indians Fox scored 22 - points. Tommy Huemann of the Warriors also Bcored 8 points. The victory enabled the Warriors to enter the semi-finals against mighty Hebron. LINKUPS WRESTLING News - MX.H.S. Bill Peschke McHmrj Huemann, jf Lawrence, "t Baldwin, f Ford, c ' . Aim, g v.

Tike McHenry wrestling- tl'in was defeated by Zion last Wednesday by the score of 27 to 17. Zion had the advantage all the way. Our heavy weight, Bob Krickle Was ill so we had to forfeit that match. As the match started, we were 5 points behind, due to forfeit. Sonny McDermot, our 112 poi^nder, lost by a pin. SoAny is only a freshman so we are counting on him for the years to come. Charles Green a 112 pounder who did a wonderful job of wrestling won by a pin. Ken Crook, who also could wrestle in 112 class, wrestled in the 118 class. Ken, who had the advantage in weight, tied. The score was now 12 to 7, in lavor of Zfon. Eugene Hughes really had to wrestle in 127 class. This was a close match, too close because the match was also a draw. Arnie Petersen, who is about our trickiest wrestler, lost on a decision. Gil Mercure, who wretles in 138, made up for the loss and won on a decision. Now herp is where the trouble comes in. If you have never seen Zion's 145, 154 and 165 pounder, you have really missed something. These boys are really built, and they had experience. Cliff Walters lost by a pin; this is Cliff's first year at wrestling. Don Theil, our 154 pounder, won by a pin. If our 165- pounder could pin his man, we could tie, but Dick Widen was sick, so Joe Peschke, a 154 pounder, wrestled in his place. Joe tried hard erven though he was out-weighted, but lost by a pin. The final seoro 27 to 17. f - ^ Wheatoa Match On Monday, December 12, the team traveled to Wheaton. Wheaton is about the toughest team we are matched up witji. Sonny McDermot lost by a pin. Charg^ Green, a Junior, won a decision by the score of 4-0, Ken Crook, who was wrestling out of class again lost on a decision, fiugen* Hughes who always puts on a good match won by. a pin. Gil Mercure, a strong and crafty wrestler won by a pin. The score is now 13 to 8 in McHenry's favor. Arnie ^Petersen, whose matcl are always exciting lost by a cision. At this point the roof teemed to cave in on us. Cliff Walters lost by a pin. Don Theil lost on a decision. I would like to mention that this is Cliff's and Don's first year at Wrestling and they really are working hard. Joe Peschke who wrested oat of his weight class again, lost by a pin. Bob Krickle, our heavy weight, had the same mlsfortUM of being pinned. The final sco* 13 to 29 favoring Wheaton. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you of our next match on Wednesday, Dec- 19 at MeHenry, our opponents being Waukegan. The matches start at 7:30 p.m.i and we'll be looking for you.
