Coach Joe Schlender was pleased with the win. he didn't think it was one of the better Warrior games this season, but woukfci't complain about the win. The Crown eleven was the best Crown team I had ever seen. Coach Bob Carlson, former Woodstock Blue Streak, has done a fine job with the Crown program. With only 12 seniors on his squad of 45, Crown should be an improved team next season. Jeff McNish went out in the second quarter and didn't return, because of a shoulder injury as the the result of a good hit. Any Saunders, fine Warrior tackle, had a battle all day with his counterpart of the Vikings. It was something to watch these two lineman battling it in the trenches. Kevin Lavin had another fine day on defense along with John Doessel. Tim Klapperich saved a Crown TD by making a nice tackle. Rob Kalck picked off a pass that insured the Warrior win. Jack Jablonski was in the Viking backfield all day, and the ends Ritthaler and Haley stopped the Crown attack time and time again. The thrill of watching Dave D'Angelo getting his hands on the ball is something you won't forget. He is a threat to go all the way anytime from any place on the field Keith Belzer did a good job of leading the Warrior attack. Kelly Gartner had some nice punts that put the Vikes deep in the bole. Credit must be given to the key to the team center, Dan Freund. I don't believe he had a bad center all season, and that is a remarkable accomplishment. There were others who played an important part in the Warriors fine season, and as Coach Schlender remarked time and time again, "We are a team", and they proved it throughout the season.

NOVEMBER 5, If Warriors Attain Goal Of Winning A 49-yard pass from Keith Belzer to Dave D'Angelo with 3:10 remaining in the game gave the Warriors a 20 to 13 win Saturday afternoon in Crown Bowl. The Vikings had gone ahead of the Warriors early in the third period on a 25-yard pass play. It was a real rock and sock'em football game, as you could hear the crunch of bodies high in the stands. When needed, the Warrior defense heeded the call of Joe Schlender. It was a good high school football team.but the speed of the Warriors was just too much for the Viking eleven Only a series of unnecessary roughness penalties late in the game by Crown marred a good afternoon of football. The Warriors took the kickoff back to the Crown 38. A pass interference penalty gave the Warriors a first down on the 49. Rob Kalck picked up another first down on the Vike's 42. A perfect screen pass from Belzer to Kalck gave the Warriors another first down on the 19. On the second play, the Warriors fumbled on the 15 and Crown recovered. The Warrior defense held and Crown punted to the 41. A pass to D'Angelo was good on the 20. Another pass with an outstanding catch by Tim Klapperich put the ball on the 11. Kalck went to the 9. Three plays later Rob Kalck went l yard for the TD at 2:32 and the kick was wide, the Warriors led 6 to 0. After the kickoff the Vikings began a march that took them 65 yards into paydirt with Doug Frank running 23 yards off tackle for the score with 36 seconds remaining in the period. The kick was wide and the score was tied 6 to 6 at the end of the first period. Both teams were forced to punt and after a fumble recovery by the Warriors, Dave D'Angelo broke to his right, turned around and came back left and picking his blockers beautifully, raced 52 yards on a splendid fun for the TD. However, both teams were guilty of penalties at the line of scrimmage, and the ball was brought back to the original spot. This didn't stop the Warriors. They marched to the 2, whereby Belzer found Sean Haley all alone in the endzone for the TD. The run for the PAT failed and the Warriors led 12 to 6 at 5:07 of the second period. Later in the period, a Crown punt found its way into the hands of the speedy D'Angelo, and the young lad broke knee for a return of 43 yards to the Viking 27. Two plays later Belzer's pass was intercepted in the end zone ending a Warrior threat. Seconds later the dock ran out and the Warriors led at halftime 12 to 6. The Vikings, taking the kickoff on their own 34, marched 66 yards in 12 plays for a touchdown and when the kick was good the Warriors found themselves trailing 13 to 12 with 8:25 remaining in the third period. After both teams held one another without a first down, Belzer started to go to the airways. Two passes to Klapperich gave the Warriors the ball on the Vike's 28, but on the last play of the period the Warriors fumbled and Crown recovered on the 25. Using a solid running game and using up the clock, the Vike's began a march that took them to the Warrior 31, where the defense dug in and forced the Vike's to give up the bell. The Warriors couldn't dent the Viking defense and punted to the Crown 34. Again the Warrior defense dug in and forced the Vikes to punt short to the Crown 49. Then Belzer stepped back into the pocket, and with plenty of protection laid the ball into the hands of D'Angelo on the 42, and the speedy Warrior outraced his defenders and went unmolested into paydirt for the TD at 3:10. Rob Kalck ran for the PAT and the Warriors led 20 to 13. Seconds later the fine fullback picked off a Vike pass on the 35. A penalty put the ball on the Crown 20. Another penalty had the ball on the 10, and when the game ended the Warriors were on the 5 pushing for another TD but the clock ran out on them and they settled for a 20 to 13 win. The victory gave the Warriors a winning season with 5 wins and 4 losses, and also helped Woodstock enter the Season Plenty Of Protection Plaindealer LOTS OF TIME-resulted in lots of gain as Warrior quarterback Keith Belzer sends one downfield to Tim Klapperich daring third quarter action of McHenry's 20-13 victory over Crown last Saturday. Belzer completed six passes in 12 attempts for 119 yards on the day as Klapperich caught three tosses for 45 yards. Below, Rob Kalck broke up a sure touchdown pass at the goal line in early third period action, however, Crown scored on the next play to take a 13-12 lead at the time. Kalck scored McHenry's first touchdown on a 19 yard run and caught a 23-yard pass in the game. STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAYLORD Optimism Despite 60-14 Beating FOR RESERVATIONS AND INFORMATION CALL: PHO--t 815-471-1471 Always an optimist, Coach Bob Schmitt noted "We shut Marengo out, 8-0 in the fourth quarter. That's a nice way to end the season/' Schmitt's optimism didn't keep Marengo from bombing Johnsburg Friday night, 60- 14, dropping Johnsburg to 3-6 on the season and lifting Marengo to a playoff birth as the Shark Conference Champion. The Skyhawk chances at victory dwindled suddenly as quarterback Scott Valentin was rushed to the hospital after only the sixth play from scrimmage with a concussion. Rick Neiss, Johnsburg's top receiver, also was knocked from the game in the second quarter with a sprained ankle after cat­ ching three passes for 43 yards. Reserve quarterback Dan Williams did a com­ mendable job, however, hitting seven of 17 receivers for 83 yards and one touch­ down. Marengo wasted no time, scoring twice in the first jteriod on a six yard run by Klasing and a lb yard pass on a fake field goal attempt. The second quarter found Szumlas At Augustana Former Skyhawk all-conference football player, Rick Szumlas, has finished his first season as a member of the Augustana College varsity football team. Szumlas was one of 38 freshmen carried on the Augustana squad and saw plenty of action as a defensive bade on the Junior Varsity team which ended its season at 4-1. The son of Joseph and Dolores Szumlas of McHenry is a pre-med student at the Rock Island college. the Skyhawks scoring on a 22 yard pass to Neiss from Williams, but Marengo answered with three touch­ downs in the period, on a one yard run, a 46-yard fumble recovery, and a 55-yard gallop after Marengo picked off one of five interceptions in the game. Klasing kept things alive in the third quarter for Marengo, running 51 yards to paydirt. By this time Marengo had put in the second string, but Marengo was not through scoring, as the reserve halfback rushed for one yard after a 65-yard interception down to the one yard line. A 32-yard run later capped off the Marengo scoring late in the third quarter. Doug Wickman gave Johnsburg something to cheer about in the fourth period, racing 77 vards on a straight dive play with 2:25 left as Alex Bingman scored the two extra points to end the scoring. Johnsburg out-passed Marengo, as they racked up 86 yards on the day to Marengo's 18. Johnsburg also ran fairly well as 127 yards of their 185 total came from Doug Wickman on 10 carries. Pat Rorig rushed eight times for 31 yards while Alex Bingman ran 27 yards on three carries. Five Marengo in­ terceptions and a couple of co6tly fumbles by Johnsburg kept Marengo way ahead as the moved their conference record to 5-1 and overall record to 8-1 with the vic­ tory. Rick Neiss caught three passes for. 43 yards and Randy Wakitsch caught 2 passes for 15 yards for the Skyhawks. Schmitt was pleased with the season as a whole. "We won more games than ever before and more people are playing football here than in years passed," he said."We could have won a couple more games if we would have played with more intensity and if injuries did not take its toll on us." Joel Wakitsch State Bid For Hurricanes For the fourth time in as many years, the Marian Central cross country team will travel to the Class A state meet under the direction of coach Hans Rokus.
