»\UiK ft - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22,1980 SPORTS Skyhawks Avoid Overtime By Dixon 's 20-Foot Shot By Randy S^ikle Chris Dixon's 20-foot jump shot from the perimeter of the key gave the Johnsburg Skyhawks a 63-61 come- from-behind victory over the South Beloit SoBos Tuesday in the SoBo gymnasium. All but one second of time had expired as Dixon's field goal cleared the net and the SoBos hurriedly called a time out. A baseball pass to the South Beloit basket was intercepted by Johnsburg's big Frank Jakubicek, and the game ended with the advantage belonging to the Skyhawks. Johnsburg's victory was the result of the a come- from-behind effort by the Skyhawk club. Trailing 11-20 at the end of the first quarter, the erratic playing of the Skyhawks could best be summarized by the fact that the squad committed five fouls in the first 90 seconds of the ball game. Through most of the second quarter, South Beloit maintained a 10-point lead. In the final moments before halftime, however, a Johnsburg rally managed to narrow the SoBo lead to seven points. The teams went to the locker rooms with the score 27-34. Johnsburg's second rally of- the game was sparked by- junior guard Rick Neiss, who netted a 20 footer from the corner~with 1:31 left in the third quarter and then sank a pair of free throws to even the score at 46 for each team. South Beloit's Ben Green hit two free throws to give his team a two-point edge going into the final period. Johnsburg flirted with the lead throughout the fourth quarter but could never do better than tie the score until Dixon's final game-winning shot. South Beloit's greatest lead during the quarter was four points. The Skyhawks tied the score three times: on a 15- foot jump shot by Jakubicek with 4:50 left, on a 20 footer by Brett Zimbrick with 3:31 remaining, and on a fast break by Jakubicek with :40 left in the game. The SoBos tried to hold the ball, hoping for the ad­ vantage to have the last scoring opportunity. Zim­ brick fouled South Beloit's Tom Thornton with :16 seconds left, and Dixon snatched the rebound and called a time out. The Skyhawks possessed the ball on their side of the court and kept it until the Dixon basket. Johnsburg posted four men in the double figures. Jakubicek, who played an excellent game, led the Skyhawk scorers with 14 points. Neiss and Tom Schoenig each netted 12, and Dixon scored 10. Zimbrick, who sat out much of the game because of foul trouble, still managed to net nine points for his team. fhe Skyhawks travel to North Boone Friday for the last scheduled game before the Regional Tournament next week.

Going into the game both teams lead the conference with identical 8-1 records. Now Johnsburg is the sole leader of the Shark Con­ ference (9-1) with two more conference games left in the season. A slow start saw the Skyhawks trailing 8-0 as the game got underway. Only Jacobs and Dschida could manage to find the net, and the Johnsburg club was at the end of a 12-4 deficit at the end of the first quarter. "We were doing things right," said Skyhawk Coach Bruce Harbeck, "but our shots just weren't going through the bucket." The second quarter saw more balanced scoring for the Skyhawks, but only Jacobs managed to sink more than one field goal. The Johnsburgers trailed -- 16-22 at halftime. In the third quarter the Skyhawks literally exploded into a scoring spree, Dschida and Sue Dehn each sank three field goals and the girls outscored their SoBo op­ ponents 19-8 in the period. With a 35-30 advantage at the start of the fourth quarter, the Skyhawks kept the momentum. Dschida netted five more field goals (16 points for the second half). Ellen Q'Malley hit a couple of long shots from the corner, and Lora Jacobs collected three more buckets and a free throw. Jacobs pulled down 22 rebounds for the evening. Sally Oeffling and Sue Freeland also played a good game for the Skyhawks. The girls were scheduled to travel to Hononegah Thursday night, and they will meet Marengo on March 6. The Marengo game is at home and is designated as Parents' Night. To be assured of being the sole champion of the Shark Conference, the girls must win both games. If they win only one of the remaining games, it would be possible for another team to tie them for the championsip.

For my part, I'm busy enough trying to plan my own life. * Life would be complete if I could win a car. Must have enough invested by this time in those little tickets called donations to buy a car. Think I'll devote my ef­ forts in some other direction like winning ten thousand bucks a year for the next ten years. Seldom miss a wake when some friend passes away so it bothers a little to think of missing some recent ones when circumstances prevented going. Must admit I don't attend just to pray -- usually enjoy visiting with people we seldom see. Enjoyed meeting the Jim Browns of McCullom Lake. Jim grew up about a mile from Comisky Park so you know where his loyalty is directed. 'Twas little known nor long remembered that I did the bulk of the research on the oldest buildings in the area for the Bicentennial celebration, but can't remember using the following item from McHenry's Centennial booklet. "About this time" refers to the year 1837: "About this time B.B. Brown built his famed "Log Cabin Tavern" which be­ came one of the historic hostelries of the state, where the Riverside House now stands. It was a double log house with an "L" attached, part of the structure being two stories high. In 1845, John W. Smith bought this tavern, and later he and his nephew, David Smith, built the Riverside House." Benton basketball team is rated No. 12 in the Chicago area, I asked Dick Rabbitt and, Bill Day about their game with the Warriors this year. Learned what I forgot - - they edged the Warriors by only two points. Wouldn't know the statistics, but have observed some games in which rebounds gave the Warriors trouble. We need that extra- tall man. Like 6'8". When it comes to speed, the Warriors have it. 6 That amazing' DePaul basketball team must give Coach Ray Meyer the heebee-jeebees. Several teams have looked better than the Demons in the early stages of the game only to find the No. 1 boys putting on a splurge to pick up the marbles. Everybody seems to think each game will end DePaul's winning streak. Some think a loss would take the pressure off the team. Evidently the players have other ideas. Bet some young people never heard of a "baker's dozen". There was a time when 13 was the magic number when you ordered a dozen sweet rolls or doughnuts. Bertha Jager will remember it well. A fellow was com­ plaining about his bunions and didn't know what to do. Reminded him that Old Timers used to cut a hole in the shoe to let the bunion Noticing that the Zion come through. We don't hear much about this being Leap Year. Maybe the gals have forgotten that every four years they have the right to nail the poor, defenseless, unsuspecting males. Coach Ken Ludwig will take his McHenry Warriors to Cary tonight for a Fox Valley game against the Trojans. The Warriors after a disappointing defeat at the hands of Woodstock last week, will go all out against the Trojans in hopes of keeping their title chances alive. The Warriors won the first game 76 to 43 at Buckner Gym on Jan. 11. The Warriors have been playing good steady ball until their lapse last Friday night against the Streaks. However, they can't take the Trojans too lightly. Coach Jim Condill's crew is giving everyone fits in the Fox Valley, although coming up short on the score. Their 1 and 11 misleading from a score standpoint. Except for a few games, the Trojans have been in every game, but seem to fade in the final minutes. The Cary crew boasts of the conference's second leading scorer in Greg Meyer. The 6'1" senior is having another banner year from the field. He is averaging 22 pts. per game, and will be the one the Warriors must keep in line in tonight's game. Coach Ludwig will have his Warriors ready, with regional time only a short time away, teams are get­ ting ready for their so called second season. The Warriors are no exception.

John St. McHenry ttS>1072 | On The Sidelines \y By Dick Rabbitt J; $ The Warriors wiU try and get back on the winning track ij; & tonight at Cary Grove. The loss last week to Woodstock i;i $ Blue Streaks all but put the lights out on a Fox Valley title. -;i jiji: There is still a slim chance that the Warriors can tie for j|i the title. , Warrior fans will be pulling for a South win over Dundee $ tonight, and then hope that Jacobs and Woodstock can mill j:j an upset next week, while the Warriors are winning their, ijij last two games. It is not very probable, but neither is it j:j $ impossible. Stranger things have happened in high school j;i jiji; basketball. >$ The regional tourney opens on March 5 at Woodstock. i;i >:•: Belvidere plays Hononegah of Rock ton on opening nite. The Bucs were seeded first with the Warriors second. The iji •jijij Warriors play Woodstock on Wednesday, March 6. >ijij The winners will meet oh Friday for the championship, !;! ijij and the right to travel to Rock Valley for the Sectional. It is this time of the year when you hear reports about i;i iji: when is Illinois going to make a change and add another iji iji: class to basketball playoffs. With 750 the magic number iji ijij for the cutoff, it seems that there is quite a gap from that !;! iji: number to some of the larger schools in the suburbs. iji ijij Schools in the Fox Valley and the Northwest Suburban, i;! ijij just to name a few conferences, will have a hard time :• i* competing with the likes of Proviso East, the Public !•! !;•: League, Quincy, Galesburg, and a lot more larger S ijij schools. If football can be divided into five classes, why i;! iji: can't basketball at least have three classes. 1,500 to 1,750 would be a nice cutoff number for another j: ijij class. ijij The four team regional has lost some of its luster. i; ijij Maybe it would be a good idea to get back to the old eight i; ijij team regional. More interest would be shown, crowds •; ijij would be larger, and in this time of energy, it would save i; ijij on gasoline. Coach Marty Sobczak has two wrestlers who qualified ij ijij for the Sectional meet at North Chicago this weekend. Ed * ijij Hughes and Bruce Wrona both picked up a second place in ii ijij the districts held last week. The Warriors did fine, and ij i;ij had several near misses to qualify for the sectional. We, along with all Warrior fans, wish Ed and Bruce the ii iiii best this weekend, and hope they qualify for the state > ig finals next week. Matt Nierman a diver on Mike Shanahan's swimming i; iiii team picked up a sixth place in the district at Deerfield ij iiii last week. He was in some tough competition, and he too i; i$ has our congratulations. Gary Gray's girls team is having a bit of tough luck on :j !;i; the court. Maybe things will change, and the girls can pick •; jij; up a few victories. We take you to Woodstock for the County Tournament i; jiji held in 1944. The Warriors beat Woodstock 39 to 21.
