PAGE fi - PLAINDE ALER - FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29.1978 Warriors Hang On To Win Defeat St. Ed's By 2 In Elgin Tourney By Dick Rabbit In a game that was not decided until the final gun. the Warriors edged out St Edward of Elgin, 52-50. in the opening round of the Elgin holiday tournament Wednesday night. With the Warriors leading by two with five seconds to play. St. Edward's guard Joe Snellgrove's desperation shot rolled off the rim to ensure a Warrior victory Pete Prust put the Warriors ahead 2-1 at the 5 minute mark of the initial period, but later in the period, the "Green Wave" took the lead and held it by a score of 12-10 at the period It was a slow first period, as both teams played catch and when open, were unable to hit the fyoop The opening minutes of the second period were a repeat of the first quarter, but a 3-point play by Jimmy Johnson tied the score at 15 for McHenry. The local crew grabbed a 19- 17 lead on Ttm Zeller's layup. but the Wave bounced back and led at the intermission 23-21. The third period saw the lead exchange hands four times, uijtil with four seconds remaining, Johnson s second 3- point play put the Warriors in the lead 40-37. That play was the spark the Warriors needed as they came f>ut in the final period with fire in their eyes. Johnson, Jensen and the Zeller brothers hit the hoop to put McHenry up by nine 49-40, with 5:45 remaining It looked as if the Warriors were going to run away from the Green Wave However, the Wave had other ideas With the Warriors throwing the ball away time after time. St. Ed's began to get back into the ballgame. In the last four minutes, Brett Thomas with a charity toss and a basket was the complete Warrior offense. However, when Snellgrove's shot rimmed the hoop at the buzzer, the Warriors came off the floor with a victory. It was a slow action game The officials let the boys push, shove . walk and run to their hearts desire. Both teams committed 13 fouls, and we are thankful the officials didn't call the game close, otherwise it may have been midnight before it all ended MCHENRY fg ft..pf tp T Zeller 4 0 3 8 Thomas 5 1 3 11 Johnson 4 5 3 13 Jensen 4 0 2 8 Prust 3 0 1 6 B Zeller 3 0 1 6 Conway 0 0 0 0 Bitterman 0 0 0 0 Totals 23 6 13 52 ST.

The small Warrior team started out in a zone defense, but because of the hot shooting on the part of the Jacobs five. went into a man to man, and out scored the visitors in the second half As Coach Schafer said. "We must try a zone to keep out of foul trouble, but maybe we will have to make some changes" Sharon Smith led the local attack with 24 points followed by Sue Hut­ chinson's 15 Becker of Jacobs led all scoring with 27 points The sophomores won their game 22 to 16 with Sue Smith's 10 points pacing the local team VARSITY McllENRY McHEA/ffV MtHENRY 385 0144 SPECIAL MATINEES FRI.

Bentz Stablizer As Johnsburg Wins By Randy Swikle The Johnsburg Skyhawks are still soaring, despite some turbulence in Tuesday night s action in the Northern Illinois Classic tournament at Hamp shire It was the fourth consecutive victory for the Skyhawks. as the team delivered a 55-52 upset to Jacobs high school Golden Eagles in a game marked by Harvard 21 N.

Throughout the night the win<d> blew in various directions with each team experiencing gusts and lulls in their performances Johnsburg recovered from an early R point deficit to take a 28-27 halftime lead but Skyhawk play was erratic with several careless turnovers and other costly mistakes. Jacobs, too. had its share of troubles Sparked by the out side shooting of Mike Hudson. Jacobs built first quarter momentum, but could not maintain it It was Johnsburg center Don Bentz who provided stability for the Skyhawks to weather the turbulent action. "Donny played a super ball game." said Skyhawk coach Bob Kies "It may have been his best game. His shooting was off. but he did well defensively and on the boards." Bentz. who with Chris Dixon were the team's leading scorers with 14 points, shot 50 percent from the field He is the ,am's most consistent scorer, usually tallying between 12 and 16 points a game "Don got some key rebounds and made some key free throws for us at the end of the game." said Kies "At 240 pounds, he doesn't get moved out of position very easily." Johnsburg's leading scorer, Scott Dixon, sat the benclT through most of the second quarter after having com­ mitted his third personal foul Despite the loss* of Dixon, Johnsburg gained the lead and held it into halftime Junior guard Brett Zimbrick was the instigator of the Skyhawk rally The peppy athlete returned from a Christmas vacation in Florida early, so that he could par ticipate in the tournament He went 011 to score two field goals and sparked Johnsburg's defense by causing a series of Jacobs turnovers With 9 seconds remaining in the final quarter, Terry Butler brought the Jacobs team within one point of Johnsburg, when he hit one of two free throws Bentz was fouled on the rebound of the second attempt and went to Johnsburg's line with the score at 53-52 with H seconds left on the clock The senior pumped in both free rr 1 1. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 OPEN YEAH ROUND Niirly an d S u n d a y * f r o m 2 p m I GENOA THEATRE G1N0A CITY AIS Jus! off 12 on Hwv>, HAH 2 North of kn hmond r'7i> 64ill UA) ailfc iV ITsT a»"w""-- JUST AND iNTIRI AD P A i A D M I T S O N i P I R S O N * SOt 0EC. 71 JAN 4 * »n4v lSawtt »*t «•*> »»»•».»i»j H •> pmy IUf. k4m.
