McHENRY Marian Football £ ense / • PLAINDEALER-PAGE 17-WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. 1979 The overall strength of the Marian Central Catholic high school's varsity football team will be their defense, according to head coach, Lew Miskowicz. • "We have more people coming back on defense," Miskowicz said. "Our offense is untested, but our defense should be good." The Hurricanes are counting on returning lettermen like senior Bob Sleconich, of Woodstock. Sleconich, at 6' 1" is one of the Hurricanes' starting tight end and defensive back. Last year's starting quarterback, Tom Balchunas, from McHenry, is out for the season with a broken leg, according to Miskowicz. Tim Sherwood, a junior from Crystal Lake, is scheduled to replace Balchunas at the helm. Backfield returning lettermen like Marty Krenger, from Woodstock and John Mayer, from Crystal Lake are expected to "do great things" for the Hurricane offense.
