v vt;K ti- PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY^ FEBRUARY 2M980 SPORTS Two MCHS Wrestlers Qualify For North Chicago Sectional Tourney EARL WALSH" By Lynne Sobczak Senior Ed Hughes and Brian Wrona, a junior, each took second place awards Saturday i at the Antioch District (tournament and therefore qualified for this weekend's sectional tour­ nament at North Chicago. There the top two winners in each weight class from the district^at Antioch, Buffalo Grove, Mundelein and No- thbrook will wrestle-off for the privilege of being on the mats at the state tourney the following weekend. Hughes started off right by pinning Nunn of Zion Benton in 1:31 in the preliminary round on Friday night. He went on to decision Garrett of Waukegan West in the semi-finals by a 10-4 score. In a very tough 167 pound championship match with Lindsey of Grant, Hughes lost a close decision, 7-6. To protect his second place standing, Hughes was forced to wrestle third place challenger Cepeda of Waukegan East whom he had not met during the two day tournament. A first per­ iod pin saved his second place standing A 27-3 record is keeping the whole Hughes family beaming these days. A quick 43 second pin over Woods of Waukegan West in the preliminary round sent 119 pound Wrona into the semi-final round against Beck of Warren. He pinned his opponent also and went on to face top-seeded Gibson of Antioch, who sported a 32- 1-2 record. The tough Warrior held off Gibson until the end of the second per}od, when he succumbed to the Sequoit pinning power. Besides his medal and his qualifying berth, Wrona left the tourney with a sharp 28-7 season record. Closing out their high school wrestling careers with third place district medals were seniors Dave Ramer and Mark Betan- court. In the 145 pound weight class, McHenry's Ramer met Knable of Zion Benton in the first round and topped him 8-5. Eventual second place winner Bessette of Antioch knocked Ramer out of top con­ sideration in the semi-final match with a 6-0 decision. Wins over Smyth of Grant and Derkson of Round Lake in the later rounds brought Ramer his third place standing and ended his season with a 23-9-1 record. Betancourt closed his season with a 21-6-1 record as he stepped up to receive his medal at Antioch. After beating Williams of Warren, he lost a decision to Bonds of Waukegan East in the semi­ finals. The 155 pound Warrior won his wrestle back over Habenicht of Zion Benton 5-4 and took the consolation match with a 7-1 decision over Bogarts of Antioch. Also wrestling for McHenry in the tournament were Mike Connors at 132 pounds and Vic Betancourt at 138. In spite of fielding only six wrestlers out of twelve weight categories, the McHenry team still managed to place fifth in the district tourney. They earned only one team point less than fourth place Round Lake who had 50. Top honors were taken by the team from Waukegan East with 148.5 points. Grant at 126 and Antioch at 100.5 took the second and third team places respectively. Trailing McHenry in team standings were Waukegan West, Warren and Zion Benton. At the DeKalb District tourney, the Fox Valley Conference produced five champions and qualified eight wrestlers for the Naperville Central Sec­ tional. Advancing closer to the state tourney will be Jim Layer (132), Dean Athens (145), Wallce (126) and Ylvisaker (155) of Crystal Lake South, Lance Bur- meister (132), Todd Patton (138) and Scott Detwiler (UL) of Woodstock and Tim Bartels (126) of Crystal Lake Central. Fox Valley Conference qualifiers from the Hoffman Estates District are Zin- selmeier (126), Zulpo (132) and Hall (185) of Crown, Horcher (98) and Yucuis (119) of Dundee and Byrne (132) of Jacobs. The Cary Grove team had no sectional qualifiers after the Mun­ delein District Tourney. Harvard Hornets Defeat Johnsburg Hawks 55-45 For three quarters the Johnsburg Skyhawks and the Harvard Hornets scored evenly. But the Hornets outscored the Skyhawks 16-6 in the second quarter, and the home team could never regain the momentum to turn around Harvard's 10- point lead. At the final buzzer it was Harvard 55 and Johnsburg 45. The Skyhawks galloped into an early lead Friday night in the Johnsburg gym. The score was 8-0 with 3:46 on the clock before the Hornets scored their first field goal. It took the Hornets only three minutes to tie the score at 12, and that's how the first period ended. In the second quarter only Tom Schoenig, Brett Zim- brick and Frank Jakubicek scored single field goals. Harvard went on a scoring spree and won a 28-18 half time lead. For the rest of LEAP YEAR CHILDREN Born on Feb 29. Call Joanne Eppers 385-1040 the game the Skyhawks maintained an even pace with the Hornets, but they could never manage to significantly lessen the Harvard lead.

John St McHenry 385-1072 So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR- Blue Streak Dim Warrior Title Hopes In 64-63 Win McHenry County Notre Dame Club Announces Smoker M e r v i n ' ' M i k e ' ' Schoenholz sent a card from Bradenton, Fla. to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schoewer to congratulate them on their 60 years together. Then came the typical Florida Chamber of Com­ merce propaganda -r "Saw by T V. that you got your first zero weather today. We got up to 72 degrees today and more tomorrow." That must have been a rebroadcast from last year. Zero -- here? Then our former Nor­ therner let it be known he played 21 holes of golf in his shorts that day. I wore shorts that day, too, but had a pair of pants over them. "Mike" is a former McHenryite who spent many years teaching in our schools. It was nice of him to remember the Schoewers. Bet he had no idea I would see that card. A valentine from a co­ worker : "Roses are red Violets are blue Sugar is sweet And so it this lollipop." --Betty Smith Yep. there was a lollipop attached. Just what I wanted. Ray Nelson of Pistakee Bay has invented a new hearing aid. If it proves successful, we will ask you to save your tin cans for him. Don't call him. He'll call you! Mentioning to one of my all-time favorite people that I have to pick *up any magazine or newsppaer in sight to read, she topped me with, "I'm the same way. If there isn't anything else in sight, I read the instructions on a bottle of milk of magnesia". j You may rate it a thriller - - that one point Warrior loss to the Woodstock Blue Streaks. Or you might call it a downer. Let it not be said that our Warriors didn't give it all they had. They simply couldn't put it all together as they have in recent games. Maybe they are entitled to a game like that. The Streaks are said to be 100 percent better than they were earlier in the season. They are what I call a physical team. They rear end you and get awa^ with it. When the Streak's coach gave his playmaker, Jim Limbaugh, a rest in the third quarter, the Warriors surged to a tie. The Warriors gave it the old college try in the last half after trailing by seven points at the intermission. Must say the officials were patient. Some of the well- meaning boys in the McHenry cheering section kept moving onto the floor and could have drawn a technical foul against the Warriors. That could have hurt. Those boys were "helping" the officials. So was the Woodstock coach, but evidently his "helping" remarks were gentlemanly. Pity the coaches. They suffer. Things you seldom see in these modern times. A Woodstock Cheerleader asked the visiting fans to be quiet when one of our players was at the free throw line. Maybe sportsmanship will return some day. Our Pom-Pon girls put on a Valentine dance or whatever you name it that went over big. "Fox Hole "red" sent a choice cigar to our table with instructions to save it for a bus trip next summer when the White Sox invade Milwaukee. "Red" announced that the wives will be included. That should keep the trip under control since some of the men want to start early so they can inspect the breweries. The _Woodstock-McHenry game brought back memories of many a battle between the two teams. Alvina and I headed for Woodstock one night when the weather wasn't fit for man or beast. The roadway was so icy we drove with two wheels on the shoulder. A little item like bad weather didn't stop us in those days. One night we were driving to an out of town game when a long line of slow moving cars puzzled us. It was Superintendent Ducker at the head of the line and student drivers were afraid to speed past him. Some McHenry High grads will remember. The face was familiar, but as usual the name escaped me. From way out in Bur- bank, California came Peggy Oeffling back to the old home town. And, whaddayaknow! Peggy is still a regular reader of the Plaindealer. We cover the waterfront and the whole country. Keith Foster, who dates back many moons, still has the old spirit. We met him Valentine's Day as he took his best girl out to dinner. Before we know it St. Patrick's Day will be here. BASEBALL * * * By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D. C. -- Looking back on the last World Series, one is still impressed that^good^iittin overcame good pitching, in sense. The Birds of Baltimore had the pitching. Of course, the Pirates came up with it too, in the last three games, and they also had the hitting. Yet' the Birds could have won in four straight, very probably, if Earl Weaver had sacrificed in the 8th inning of the 2nd , game, when he had two on, none out and a tie game with Jim Palmer pitching a strong game. That remains the big booboo of the Series. The Birds won the other three of the first four. Yet Willie Stargell and Co. just wouldn't be intimi­ dated by that good Bird pitching. It was Willie's year and the sports writers have awarded him the year in several ways--rightfully so. If the Birds had won in four straight, what would fans be saying today? They'd be saying good pitching al­ ways overcomes good hit­ ting -and also that the Pirates collapsed in the Series, not even winning one game! One errant decision by a manager probably made this difference-and what a difference! Now the Pirates are soon to begin spring training in Brandenton^ lha., and the O's in Miami. (Pitchers re­ port about Feb. 20.) Exhibi­ tion games begin March 8. and end April 8. with few exceptions. Odds are, his­ torically. both the Birds and Pirates won't be in the World Series again this October. They'll be the teams to watch, nevertheless. By Dick Rabbitt The McHenry High Warriors hopes for a Fox Valley title took a dim view on Friday night when the Woodstock Blue Streaks in a mild upset won 64 to 63. The loss coupled with wins by Dundee and Crystal Lake South left the Warriors in third place with a 8 and 4 record. Dundee is 10 and 2 and the Gators are 9 and 3. However, there is a slight possibility that the Warriors could emerge in a three way tie for the crown. South must beat Dundee Friday night, while the Warriors must win over Cary Grove, then on the following Friday both South and Dundee must lose while the Warriors whip the Tigers from Central. That would leave the three teams each with a 10 and 4 record. If these events do occur, it will indeed be the "Miracle of the f^ox Valley". The Warriors started out Friday night with three quick baskets, Jensen, Anderson and Zeller all making their shots, after a missed shot, Jim Johnson got into the act, and moments later Sroka hit the hoop, and the Warriors had all their starters in the scoring column early in the first period. Then the Warriors hit a dry spell and couldn't find the basket for the next 4:20, while the Streaks pulled up and forged ahead 15 to 12 at the end of the period. In the second period with ^Limbaugh driving the lane and Ritzert hitting from underneath the Streaks pulled away to a 31 to 24 margin at the in­ termission- In the early going of the third period the. Streaks continued their hot streak, and at the midway point built up their biggest lead 38 to 27. Then Tony Sroka got the Warriors off and running with two quick buckets. Bob Zeller followed with a charity toss to close the gap. Bob Greve then made a basket and a couple of free tosses, and with 15-seconds remaining Tony Sroka again hit a 15 footer to tie the game at 40 all at the end of the period.. In the final period the teams exchanged baskets, until Bob Bryniarski made two free throws to give the Warriors a 48 to 47 margin. Peters and Ritzert of the Streaks countered and the Warriors fell behind never again to catch up, and fell 64 to 63. It was a most disap­ pointing loss for the Warriors and their legion of fans. It was their poorest performance of the season. They missed numerous shots, in fact they hit only 34 percent from the floor. Their passing was ragged, their defense was awful, and they just didn't seem like they could get anything under way. Maybe the emotional win over the league leading Dundee Cards in overtime on Tuesday played a factor in their performance. Or maybe they took the Blue Streaks too lightly. Anyway the game is over, there are still two more to go in the Fox Valley, and there is that slight chance that the miracle will take place. On to Cary Friday night, Warriors, don't take them... lightly. They are due for a win, but let's hope it isn't Friday.

The Gators are undefeated in FVC play winning 10 straight. The Warriors fell behind early and trailed at halftime 31 to 20. However, in the second Jhalf the girls came to life and played the more talented Gator crew on even terms. The loss drops the Warriors to 3 and 7 in the Fox Valley.
