Coach Schlender and his staff sent forth a group of Warriors that are apparenty in top condition. They played hard . &nd showed they can take it. I don't have Dick Rabbitt's \feport at this writing, but am So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR. sure as we read the progress of the game unravel in his report, we will realize that our team showed the opposition some surprise moves. The visiting team lost enough yardage on penalties to win some games for their foes. The game was in suspense until the final second and nobody in the press coop could make that clock go faster. Not a chance with Timekeeper Rex Hester at the controls. Oh - boy! Will the Warriors be busy this week getting ready to pay a visit to the Woodstock Blue Streak field Friday night. FIRST LADY ~ It was quite a surprise when Larry Lund brought in' a pic­ ture and left a note on the sports desk telling about Mrs. Ray (Caroline) Nelson being chosen as the first lady ever chosen as Commodore of the Pistakee Yacht Club. PYC members chose a lady who is truly a FIRST LADY. All eyes were on the outcome of the big football game bet­ ween Woodstock and Crystal Lake Central Friday night. To the surprise of many, the Central boys roared on to a 28-7 victory. The title of Comeback Kids has to go to the Purdue Boilermakers in their 28-22 win over Notre Dame after trailing by a couple of touchdowns in the third period. The Miami Dolphins were too much for the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Chicago needs a winner in some sport. Herb Reihansperger insists that the Cubs and Sox will have to make a trade. He wants one of those great young left handed pitchers the Sox have been trotting out to the*mound. Of course, 01' Trader Herb wants to give up some of the fringe players on the Cub roster. He's all heart. Driving down Riverside Drive from Johnsburg a large figure, bedecked in green, jogged along at a merry pace. As we draw close, Alvina said, "That's Larry Huck". Sure enough. He has foresaken the bicycle for jogging shoes. McHenry School Legue 9-19-79 Raymond's After three weeks of bowling one would think that B. Bit- terman and C.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Warriors Rally To Defeat Trojans 15-14 By Dick Rabbitt The "Fighting Warriors" of Coach Joe Schlender lived up to their name Friday night as they rallied from a 12 to 0 deficit to nip Cary Grove 15-14. It was a game that was not decided upon until the final play when a Trojan dropped a pass in the end zone that would have in­ sured a victory. It was also the first victory for Coach Schlender as a head coach, and one he will remember for a long time. His Warriors did ever- thing he askedlor and more. If ever a team was determined to win a ball game it was the Warriors on Friday night. In the past two weeks the Warriors ended up short on the score board, but a very determined bunch of athletes were not to be denied victory on Friday night. The Warriors lost the toss and kicked off to the Trojans. With a little over seven minutes remaining in the initial period Neal Britt, fine Trojan quar­ terback, tossed a ihirty-one yard pass to Joe Villicana for the first score of the game. The PAT was no good and the Warrior trailed 6 10 0. Later in the first period due to penalties the Trojans had a 1st and 40. Two plays later a pass from Britt to Barrett was good for a first down on the Warrior 18. Dave Granger the workhouse of the Trogan offense went ot the 10. In two carries Granger went for the score and the Warriors trailed 12 to 0 with 11:58 remaining in the half. DEFENSE COMES ALIVE After the kickoff the Warriors could not sustain a drive and were forced to punt to the Trojan 38. The Warriors began to play a little defense and held, forcing a punt. Starting on their own 20 the Warriors proceeded to march 80 yards for a score. Jim Doessel picked up the Warrior first down of the game with 3:30 remaining in the half. The Warriors continued their march, and Tim Sabatka, senior quarterback/ found Dave D'Angelo all alone in the end zone with 23 seconds remaining for the T.D. 'Rob Kalck on a formation that had the fans buzzing at half time, raced into the end zone for the PAT and the Warriors trailed 12 to 8 at the intermission. The above mentioned for­ mation is something that will have future teams spending a few minutes a day trying to defense it. All I can add is, if you want to see it come to a Warrior game. The second half began when the Warriors took over on their own 25. Failing to gain, they punted to the Trojans 33. The Warrior defense held and forced a punt to the Warrior 42. A Sabatka to Mroz pass was good lor 29 yards 10 the Trojan 29. The Trojans held on a fourth down play and took over. After holding ihe Trojans, the Warriors after ihe punt took over on iheir own 35. A Sabatka pass 10 Jim Frantz was good for a first down on the Trojan 33. Bringing the ball! to the Trojan 14, with 23 seconds remaining in the 3rd period Rob Kalck romped off tackle for the T.D. Sean Haley's kick was good for the PAT and the Warriors led going into the final 12 minutes 15 to 12. On the first play of the final period Jim Frantz intercepted a Trojan pass on the Trojan 40. On 4th and short yardage the Warrior fake punt failed and the Trojans took over. The steller Warrior defense again held and the Warriors took over again on the Trojan 40. Jim Frantz's sensational catch was nullified by a clipping penalty, hurting the Warriors chance for another score. After a another outstanding performance by the entire defense, the Warriors took over the ball in their own territory. DECKER INTERCEPTS " Another exchange of fumbles gave the Trojans the ball in Warriors territory. Bart Decker ended all hopes of a Trojan score as he picked off a pass on the Warriors 10, with 1:54 remaining in the game. Three plays latei^Tim Sabatka ran into ther end 'zone for a automatic safety giving the Trojans 2 pts. but still trailing 15 to 14 with less than a minute remaining. (The trick play gave the Warriors a free kick). The free kick by Greg Mroz was downed around midfield, and the Trojans still had time to pull the ball game out of the bag. A interference penalty put the ball on the Warrior 30. And the last play of the game a pass MARIAN CENTRAL DEDICATES TENNIS FACILITY-Marian Central Catholic high school hosted dedication ceremonies at the recently completed Arthur Fallon tennis courts on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 16.

It was a great win for the Warriors and their fans. Trailing 12 to 0 in the early going, I'm sure a lot of fans thought it was all over. The Warriors and their coaching staff however were not to be denied. The plucky, gritty Warriors fought to the wire. Giving up size in the line, and speed in the backfield, once again the well disciplined, well conditioned, crew of Joe Schlender had their heads hanging high, as this time they walked off the field a victor. The popular coach had nothing but praise for this Warriors after the game. Coach Schlender mentioned, "The boys showed a lot of character, coming from a 12 to 0 deficit to win the game." He also said, "I think we beat them in every phase of the game." "The offense came of age tonight", he added. For the first time this year the offense had a couple of sustained drives, their blocking was better, they executed well, and from my view in the press box I would like to congratulate the defensive unit as a whole, but would like to comment that Tom Jablonski, Ed Hughes, and Kevin Lavin were the key to the defense last Friday night. The offense had a little more poise than in previous games, and with the first win of the season, the Warriors could cause some trouble in the Fox Valley this season.

The highlights of the game were three homeruns, two by Jim Jablonski and one by Pat Kagan, however all 20 players contributed to the offense.
