broken play TOP DECK BRANOEO ON THE EOGE , IS VOUR GUARANTEE , ^OF SATISFACTION^ Every Weekend Take Me Along ...and it appears that Warrior guard Tom Jablonski is just along for the ride as Crystal Lake quarterback Graves tears down the side line with his passenger during Friday's win over McHenry. The Tigers rushed for 271 yards in their 14-0 win. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Warriors Bow 14-0 To Crystal Lake Tigers By Dick Rabbitt Once again Coach Joe Schlender's McHenry High Warriors came up on the wrong end of a 14 to 0 ball game to the Crystal Lake Tigers Friday night at McCracken Field. When the chips were down, Bill Mack's Tigers came through with the victory. Again the Warriors played a steller game only to fall by the wayside when the final* count was taken as the game ended. The steller defense of the Tigers held the Warrior attack at bay throughout the evening, and walked off with their fourth win in the Fox Valley, one behind the league leading Jacobs High School. The Warriors had a break on the kickoff as the Tiger kick went out of bounds, where the Warriors took over on their own 40. Unable to gain because of the tough Tiger defense the Warriors kicked to the Tiger 45. After a Tiger first down, the Warrior's Terry Packard forced a Todd Marunde fumble with the Warriors recovering on their own 31. A plus a penalty forced the Warriors to punt. Jimmy Wilson, Warrior fullback, then kicked a 72 yd. punt that was downed on the Tiger 20. Twelve plays later Todd Marunde grabbed a 23 yd. pass from Graves, the Tiger quarterback, for the first score of the game. Ratzert's ki£k was good and the Tigers led 7 to 0 with 1:54 remaining in the first period. (80 yd. march). Spectator's Delight On the ensuing kickoff An­ derson returned to the Warrior 27. The Warriors again failed to gain and punted to the Tiger 26. The second period was a spectator's delight. Although the Tigers picked up a couple of first downs, and the Warriors their first of the game, both teams played rock and sock em .football with neither team being able to gain substantial ground throughout the period, and the half ended with the Tigers leading 7 to 0. In the third period the Warriors kicked off to the -Tigers, and again held forcing a punt. The Warriors failed to gain and kicked to the Tiger 45. Then the Tigers took over and marched 55 yds. down the field for a score with Todd Marunde carrying over from the 3 with 8:22 remaining in the period. Later in the period Bart Decker recovered a fumble at the Tiger 23. After the Warriors gained a first down, a pass interception ended their threat and the Tigers were able to move out of trouble. The period ended with the Tigers on the long end of a 14 to 0 score. The final period was played between the 30 yd. lines as neither team could muster any Tkind of march, and the Tigers kept their hope alive in the Fox Valley with a 14 to 0 win. Coach Praises Team In talking with Coach Joe Schlender after the game the popular coach had nothing but praise again for his teaqi. The genial coach said, "The Tigers of Bill Mack have a fine team, they are well coached." He added, "Although we may not have won the game, a couple of breaks in the middle of the game could have made it a lot closer". The Warriors have played fine ball this season. Their defense has been outstanding. The record is now 1 and 6 for the season, and their total loss in points is 36 That is a touch­ down a game, and nobody can complain about the kind of a record. Again from a personal standpoint down on the field with able spotters, Jack Jablonski and Dave Ramer, I thought the Warriors played an excellent game. The offense is still lacking a breakaway runner. I would like to see a 6'2" or more and over 200 lbs. fullback move into the area in the next year. Then Warrior fans, we could gloat every Saturday morning as we visited over coffee and talked about the previous night's game.

Happy Homecoming As Johnsburg Skyhawks Defeat Valley Lutheran By Randy Swikle When the story of the 1979 Johnsburg football season is finally chronicled, chapter seven should be entitled "The Homecoming Heroes." It's been a long season for the Skyhawks £now 1-6). Many of Coach Mike Heimerdinger's top players have been sidelined v periodically because of in­ juries, most of the juniors are only now gaining their second year of interscholastic football experience, and several crushing defeats must have had some effect on squad morale. There have not been an ex­ ceptional number of gridiron stars at Johnsburg High. But in Saturday's Skyhawk Homecoming victory over the Valley Lutheran Ventures, heroes were in abundance. The Skyhawks, working a well- coordinated offense and producing a great defensive effort, smashed the Ventures 42-12. It was a BIG win for the Johnsburg club, and Coach Heimerdinger is hoping it will mark the turning point of the season. Rick Szumlas, who has been one of the most consistent standouts for Johnsburg this season, scored the first Skyhawk touchdown on a four yard run with 9:33 remaining in the first quarter. The touch­ down was set up after the Skyhawks blocked a Venture punt on the 20-yard line. A pass from quarterback Scott Valentin to running ace Brian Roberts was successful for the extra point conversion. Valley Lutheran scored on a 10 yard pass with the clock at 4:38. The extra point play was not successful. Play of the Game It was hardly a minute later when the "play of the game" brought cheering Johnsburg fans to their feet. Quarterback Valentin tossed a short side pass to senior Chris Dixon who in turn hurled the ball 40 yards downfield with pinpoint accuracy to Rick Neiss. The junior receiver scampered the additional yardage to the goal. It was a 75 yard touchdown pass for Dixon. A kick for the extra point was unsuccessful. Valley Lutheran scored its last touchdown of the game on a 20 yard pass with :36 remaining in the quarter. Their un­ successful extra point attempt brought the score to 14-12. The Skyhawks wasted no time in working to widen their margin of victory as they socred in the first 11 seconds of the second quarter on a brilliant 45 yard run by Roberts. A pass from Valentin to Szumlas was good for a two- point conversion. Midway through the quarter Doug Free and Ed Koch teamed to block a Venture punt from the 25-yard line. Free picked up the loose ball and carried it an additional 10 yards closer to the Johnsburg goal. It set up a 10 yard touchdown pass from Valentin to Randy Wakitsch. Szumlas carried the ball for l!" two-point con­ version. At halftime Johnsburg commanded a 30-12 lead. There was no scoring in the third quarter, but in the final seconds of that period Dixon intercepted a Venture pass to set up another Skyhawk touch­ down in the first minute of the fourth quarter. Again, it was Brian Roberts. First he carried the ball on a 35 yard run deep into Valley Lutheran territory. Then he scored on a six yard carry. The extra point kick was no good. The last Johnsburg touch- ° down was made by junior Doug Wickman who moved the ball three yards to cross the goal line. That score was preceded by a 30 yard pass from Valentin to Dixon. The extra point kick attempt was no good. The final score was 42-12. The Skyhawks connected oh 11 of 18 passes for 140 yards. There was one interception. Valentin threw 10 completions on 16 attempts for 65 yards, Dixon threw one pass for 75 yards, and Wakitsch missed on one attempt.-,,- Johnsburg gained 182 yards rushing. Roberts led the Skyhawk ball carriers with 103 yard on nine carries. Szumlas carried the ball ten times for 50 yards, Wickman ran six times for 21 yards, and Warren Moulis ran three times for six yards. Valley Lutheran completed seven of 21 passes for 83 yards and gained 63 yards rushing. The Ventures are now 2-5 for the season. Coach Hands Out Praise Heimerdinger was full of praise for the members of his team. "I thought it was Dixon's best game of the year," the coach said. "In addition to his big plays, he did a lot of things people probably didn't see. Chris threw a down field block that took two guys with him to clear the way for Roberts on his 35 yard run". On the next play Brian took the ball in six yards for the TD. "Lee Carpenter threw another key block on a long run by Roberts. He played a super game too." ° Heimerdinger said he felt the whole offensive line played real well. "Ray Gomoll blocked real well during the whole game. Mark Fluger played a super game and really put his ability to use. Doug Free play real well both offensively and defen­ sively." The Skyhawk coach noted that it was the first game that senior Jake Breit startedat tree safety. "I thought he did a great job for us," Heimer­ dinger continued. "Jake's also our punter, and in five punts- with a strong wind against him on three of the kicks-he managed to average 42 yards. He got us out of the hole." Kurt Valentin, who was slightly injured on a sack that sent the Valley Lutheran quarterback to the hospital for 11 stitches to the face, led the Johnsburg defense. "Kurt called all our defensive signals during the game," Heimerdinger said. "He was in on the first blocked punt (the second one for him in two weeks) and did an excellent job." Heimerdinger was very complimentary to Kurt's younger brother, Scott, who quarterbacks the team. "He did a real good job of running the ball club, and completing 10 of 16 passes is a very good percentage." For Randy Wakitsch, it was the first time the junior played at split end. Heimerdinger recalled that Randy told him prior to the game, "I'll catch the ball if they get it to me." He caught all three of the passes tossed to him, one for a touchdown. "Rick Neiss (a junior) has improved every week as a receiver," the coach said. "He's doing everything welK blocking, catching, and runnings hard." The coach said he was very happy with the playing of juniors Dan Zaremba and Dave, Mauer. He also mentioned ah outstanding performance by! senior Ed Koch. "Jim Boelens (senior) did a super job as defensive end^' noted the coach. It was the first time he started in that position, and he was in on some great plays." Junior Pat Schiffendecker • also saw plenty of action. He> was in on the first blocked punlv < and playing as linebacker hfe' was responsible for three key tackles that caused big losses \ for the Ventures. Win Helps Morale "The win should help team < morale and give the kids some *' confidence in themselves'?^ said Heimerdinger. "It's the,- first time the juniors have won y. in two years," he noted, "and the 42 points we scored is more > than they scored last year and V this year together." The coach said he had lots of > praise for the individuals on thie > team but that it was important to remember that it was a>£ "team effort" that enabled the .*• important victory. Heimef*^ dinger, in his second year of •% building a football program for; •-* Johnsburg, is hoping to betterU last year's 2-6 record. He has ̂ two regularly scheduled con->* ference games to do so. Saturday the Skyhawks takje > to the road to battle Beloit-* Catholic. The Crusaders have a season record of 3-5 and a ̂ conference record of 1-5. They beat South Beloit 20-14 for their single conference win. "They'll really be out to get us because of Kies," said Heimerdinger. Bob Kies is the assistant Skyhawk coach who taught and coached at Beloit Catholic before coming to Johnsburg. The game will be played in the afternoon. The Skyhawks host South Beloit Nov. 3 in a "parents Day" game. WHO KNOWS 1. Name the newest member of the United Nations. 2. How many members make up the United na­ tions? 3.
