/ PAGE 7-PLAINDEALER-WEDNE SDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1973 Warriors Lose Two Games Start McHenry Junior To Zee Bees, North Chicago Youth Baseball League Z-B MAGIC » s*nd it may well be the nickname for the Zee-Bees Billy McKinney. In the above photo, what was to be an easy basket for Warrior Habich, McKinney performed his magic as he ap­ peared from nowhere to block the shot. Mr. Magic also scored 35 points in the Zee-Bee win over the Warriors. (STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) By Dick Rabbitt Any chance the McHenry Warriors had of winning the North Suburban championship this year went down the drain Friday night at Buckner gym. The ZeeBees of Zion literally ran them out of the gym. Paced by Billy McKinney, perhaps the finest all around player in the conference, the ZeeBees jumped out to a quick 7 to 0 lead and increased the lead to 23 to 10 at the quarter. McKinney hit on 13 out of 22 and 9 for 9 from the free throw line to lead all scorers with 35 pts. He not only did an out­ standing job on offense, but he dogged McHenry's star guard Roger Ludwig all over the floor, limiting the Warrior guard to only 6 baskets. It must be said however, that the Warriors never got untracked, as they missed their first 12 shots, and it was too much to overcome. The Warriors did pick up the tempo during the second period and managed to narrow the ZeeBee lead down to a 44 to 37 half time margin. During the third period the Warriors managed to creep within three, 48 to 45, at 5:52, and then some loose defensive play let the ZeeBees score three quick baskets and increase their lead to 68-57 at the three quarter mark. In the 4th period it was all Zion, their speed and rebounding ability began to take its toll on the weary Warriors as McKinney hit from all over the floor. He picked up 18 pts in this quarter alone. Rog Ludwig got 10 of his 14 pts in the 4th quarter. The great Warrior defense collapsed during the game. Limiting their foes to an average of 54 pts per game, they just couldn't contain Zion. That along with the inability to hit during the first quarter proved to be their downfall. On Saturday night the Warriors traveled to North Chicago and were defeated 59 to 58. North Chicago, who was defeated by Crystal Lake on Friday night by a score of 66 to 47, was not to be denied. The Warhawks started fast and jumped off to an early lead of 13 to 2. Once again the Warriors couldn't find the basket, missing on their first eleven shots. The Warhawks led at the quarter 17 to 6. During the 2nd period the Warriors managed to creep with 7, but North Chicago held on and led at halftime 31 to 20. It was a poorly played first half. The Warriors seemed dead on their feet, and perhaps the Zion game of Friday night had a great effect on them. In the third quarter the Warriors managed to close the gap to 5 and trailed 39 to 34 at the end of the period. The 4th period was a wild one indeed. McHenry kept pecking away and with 1:28 remaining Bentz' basket tied it up at 56 all. Then the Warhawks went into a deep freeze playing for the last shot. With 4 seconds remaining Petric shot, made the bucket and was fouled. He made the free throw putting the Hawks ahead 59 to 56. The Warriors managed to get the ball to Ludwig at midcourt and he went unmolested to the basket and scored at the buzzer making the final score 59 to 58. Ludwig with 18 pts led all scorers. This past weekend the Warriors were not the team of old. Their passing was poor, their shooting was awful, their defense went to sleep at crucial times, and they weren't rebounding. Let's hope that the slump is over. Tournament time is approaching and the Warriors if they are to repeat as regional champs must shake it off. Woodstock comes to town next Friday, this would be a good time to get back on the winning track. Let's go Warriors, you're a lot better team than you showed this past weekend. Let's get back on a winning note against the Streaks.

Gagewood Lions Club Snowmobile Derby March 4 MCHS Girls Basketball To Lake Forest Where "A" Team Lost, "B's" Won Last Thursday, Feb. 22 the MCHS girls basketball teams, both A and B, traveled to Lake Forest to challenge the home teams. The A team competed first and although their defense was excellent, the offense couldn't pull it off. All during the game A team had to play catch-up. Lake Forest com­ mitted many fouls, but the free throws weren't falling in for McHenry. They were beginning to rally in the fourth quarter, but Lake Forest managed to hang on to the lead. This defeat gives A team a 1-2 record which they will take to Waukegan. In the second game B team came back with a victory. Again defense was superb, but this time offense combined with defense and victory was im­ minent. B team went ahead in the first quarter and was there to stay. The final score was 19- The fourth annual Gagewood Lions Club snowmobile derby, which has been featured as a family affair, is scheduled for Sunday, March 4, at the College of Lake County. Three major events-ofie- eighth mile drag, clover leaf, and an endurance race-are planned.

Hurckes Loses In Sectional Mat Meet Lawyers are people work with a will. who By Dick Rabbitt Steve Hurckes, McHenry's 145 lb. District champ, lost out in the sectional wrestling meet held at Belvidere last weekend. In the first match Friday, Hurckes drew a bye, and then lost to Dave Powell of St. Charles by a score of 15 to 0. Powell later won the cham­ pionship and will advance to the State Finals in Champaign this weekend. On Saturday afternoon Steve lost to Rod Hotek of Freeport by a score of 4 to 1. Earlier Powell had pinned Hotek in the first period. The Belvidere Sectional was a good one for North Suburban teams. They won 5 cham­ pionships. To show you how tough it was, Carmel of Mundelein the State's third ranked team had two boys previously undefeated, who lost their matches. Hurckes wound up the season with 20 wins and 11 losses. Our congratulations to Steve on a fine season, and with the local lad returning next season are hoping for a state champion in 1974.
