PAGE 7 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, "Putting Life Into McHeniy's Title Dreams! Jim Buenzli didn't know it at the time, but there would have been no 225-mile trip to Springfield and no third place championship trophy if he hadn't made this putt. The birdie putt dropped on the eighteenth hole at McHenry Country club during the district qualifying tournament. All but the top three teams in the district were eliminated from further state tournament competition, and McHenry tied Crystal Lake for third place in the district. Buenzli followed up this clutch performance with a brilliant 73 in the sectional, and kept McHenry in contention during the state finals by shooting | 74 last Friday. STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAY LORD OVERTON CADILLAC-PONTIAC IN McHENRY North Chicago Opponent For Warriors' Grid Home Finale The McHenry Warriors close out the home portion of their 1977 gridiron schedule hosting North Chicago Friday night at McCracken field. The Warriors are coming off of a big victory over Crown last Saturday, while the Warhawks were stung by Crystal Lake 40- 13. McHenry is presently 1-4 in the North Suburban con­ ference, while North Chicago is 2-3. A victory Friday night, and another win over Crystal Lake next week could vault the Warriors over several teams and into the first division of the NSC. Tim Oakley was in­ strumental in the win over Crown, rushing for over 100 yards. Earlier this season, Oakley gained 95 yards rushing against Lake Forest, and is the leading Warrior ground gainer on the season. Marty Nuss, split end, has been the favorite target of junior quarterback Pete Prust throughout the season, having snared well over 25 passes in the seven games thus far. Prust, a southpaw, has im­ proved with almost every game, and he hopes to continue to team with Nuss in the North Chicago game. The Warhawks have been somewhat of a disappointment this season. Picked by many coaches in the league to con­ tend for the first spot, they have followed thetcourse of McHenry in many of their games--close, but' not quite. North Chicago had unbeaten league leader Zion-Benton on the ropes for three quarters, before the Zee-Bees pulled out a 13-9 win. In similar fashion, McHenry held Zion-Benton scoreless in the first half, before a pass interception and a fumble helped give the Zee- Bees ten points and a 10-0 win. In comparing scores of other games, McHenry defeated Crown 27-22 while North Chicago dumped Crown 18-14, Besides defeating Crown, North Chicago has also beaten St. Edward of Elgin 21-0 in a non-conference game, and Mundelein 6-0 in the NSC opener. Besides Crown, McHenry's other win came over Maine North 22-14 in double-overtime. The Warriors were edged by Mundelein 14-12 in the rain three weeks ago. The McHenry sophomores will open the evenings festivities with a 6 p.m. game against the Warhawks. The young Warriors have won their last two games in succession, having blanked both Zion- Benton and Crown. In last Saturday's 21-0 victory, the Warriors scored on a touch­ down by Greg Mroz, and two scores by Mark Szumlas-one on a pass from improving quarterback Mike Sabatka. SLO- POKES On Sunday, Oct. 30, the Slo- Pokes M.C. Ltd., will sponsor the last motocross race of the year, known as the winter wind- up. Close to 400 riders from Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana show up in rain or shine weather. Spectators line the slopes watching riders race across over a mile long track of natural terrain competing for trophies. These riders range from ages 8 to a few in their 40's, and from students to bankers. The Midwest is known to produce some of the nation's top riders. After the racing season ends, even though the track itself is open year round even to snowmobiles, many moto-crossers down their studded tires and head for the frozen lakes to compete in ice racing. Others load their vans and motor homes and head south to Florida for the winter circuits. Motocross is not limited to males alone -a 16- year-old girl from Greenfield, Wis., is really making some of these guys look bad on the line. Her hopes are to head for the Nationals someday! Let's hear it for Women's Lib! Slo-Pokes Motorcycle club is looking for additional members and holds meetings the third Monday of each month at Maplehurst at 8 o'clock. Their annual Appreciation banquet will be held Nov. 19 at 6:30 at Sasha's Crescent Bay Landing in Johnsburg. Racing will start at 10 Sun­ day, Oct. 30, rain or shine, with practice at 8:30. All classes from minis through open will run two motos, located at Maplehurst Cycle Park, Wilmot road, Spring Grove. For further information phone 815-675-2558 or 312-0724-0800. Marian Soph Eleven Nipped By Marmian MCHS Runners Prepare For District, Conference Tests Senior Mike Burmann will head the McHenry contingent in the state district cross country meet Saturday at Zion- Benton high school. Schools from throughout the area will be competing for the right to advance to the sec­ tional meet Saturday, Nov. 5. The top five teams in the district meet will advance to the sectional, as well as the top five individual finishers who aren't on a qualifying team. McHenry finished the regular season with an 8-6 duel meet record. The Warriors also finished second in the Wauconda Invitational, third in the McHenry county meet, seventh at the Maine West Invitational, and twenty-fifth in the Peoria Invitational meet. Burmann, who has been the top McHenry runner throughout the season, is among the favorites to win the district race. The senior placed in the top five in the Peoria Invitational earlier this month, a feet never by a before accompfished McHenry runner. He, along with Kevin Weisenberger and' Vince Linnane, give coach Bill Hutchinson a triple threat to capture individual honors in the district. Weisenberger has vbeen consistent throughout the season, while Linnane has, at various times, run as well as Burmann. Following the district meet, the Warriors will run Tuesday in the North Suburban con­ ference meet at Libertyville. Libertyville is the top-ranked team in the NSC, and along with Crystal Lake, rank as the favorites in the race for con­ ference honors. In competition against the other seven NSC schools, McHenry was 4-3, beating Crown, Zion-Benton, North Chicago, and Mundelein, while losing to Crystal Lake, Libertyville, and Lake Forest. Hutchinson's problem throughout the season has been a lack of depth. Almost without exception, the Warriors have lost because of a failure to have adaquate support for Burmann, Weisenberger, and Linnane. Perhaps Hutchinson will find some help from performances in the 21-team Crystal Lake sophomore meet which was scheduled for Thursday af­ ternoon at Veteran's Acres. Should a couple of sophomores, or some of the other varsity runners, find themselves either Saturday in. the district or Tuesday in the conference meet, then McHenry may pull a few surprises on some of the more highly touted teams. Carter will pay for trips on Atlanta bank plane. - By Chris Juzwik Marian Central's Sophomore football squad, vying for a conference title, was turned back 6-0° by the Marmion Cadets on Oct. 22. The only, score of the day came when Marmion intercepted a Hurricane pass and ran it back for a touchdown. That score came against the offensive unit though, and the Marian defense, which Coach Chuck Bilow is very proud of, still hasn't allowed a touchdown in conference play. Marian simply couldn't generate any offense and was shut out by the tough Cadets. The Hurricanes tried valiantly to tie it in the waning moments, and even a pass interference call against Marmion didn't help. The Canes still have a shot at the title with two games left, including a season con- cluder against Benet, who at the moment is at the top. Marian's record is 3-2 in the WSCC.
