FEBRUARY 11.1961 Wrona Grapples FVC Championship Adding another three victories to his impressive season record. Warrior wrestler Brian Wrona took the championship in the 119 pound weight class at the Fox Valley Conference wrestling tournament last weekend at Crystal Lake South high school. Senior Wrona now holds a 29-2-1 season record with 7 of those wins in falls. On his. path to the first place medal, Wrona scored a heavy 20-1 superior decision over Lietza of Jacobs who refused to be pinned, decisioned Loving of * Crystal Lake South, 7-6 and won the championship over Rizzo of Woodstock by a 7-1 decision. In an upset unexpected by most of the conference coaches, Dundee easily took the first place team trophy. Crystal Lake South and ' Woodstock who were ex­ pected to be vying for first place, had to settle for second and third place respectively. McHenry, who entered only eight wrestlers, tied for sixth place with Jacobs, behind Crown and Cary Grove and ahead of Crystal Lake Central. Also winning medals for McHenry were Rick Connor and Joe Mullen with third places and §teve Carby and Bob Sarabia with fourth places. Connor (105), Carby (98)and Sarabia (112), all freshmen, have filled in the much need lower weight spots for the Warrior varsity with good results this season and should be increasingly valuable varsity wrestlers in the next three years. Mullen (145), a steadily improving senior this season, decisioned Gengler of Crystal Lake South in the first round 13-8. Going on to meet Downing of Woodstock in the semi-final round, Mullen was pinned in the second period by the eventual class champion. Wrestling his way back, Mullen defeated Brezenski of Crown 11-4 and took the consolation match 5-4 over Irwin of Dundee. MuMen ended this weekend with a third place medai and a 16-11 season record. This weekend the local matmen participate in the District tournament at Woodstock, the first step on the way to the state mats at Champaign. AH eight of the Fox Valley Conference school plus Barrington and Wauconda will be at Woodstock, vying for the top two spots in each weight class who move on to tional action the following weekend. Preliminaries are at 6:30 Friday, with semi­ finals at 1:00 and finals at 7 p m on Saturday. Lynne Sobczak Johnsburg Can't Break Habit Warriors Extend Streak Over Streaks qqk Hrmtft'c free throw with five seconds rem^inir.^ in the second overtime enabled the Warriors to defeat the Woodstock Blue Streaks 49-48 in a Fox Valley game Friday night at Woodstock. It was a game that had the standing room crowd on their feet most of the evening as the teams traded shot for shot throughout the contest It was not basketball at its best, however; as the Streaks committed 35 miscues to the Warriors 29. Teams having played 20 games or more should not make that many mistakes during a ball game. Mike Burgdorf got the Warriors rolling with a 15-footer and seconds later the Warriors built up a 5-0 lead. During the next several minutes Costigan, Zeller and Bryniarski increased that lead to 13-4, and it looked as if the Warriors were going to run the Streaks out of their own gym Then Joe Leahey, fine Woodstock guard, took over and began to fire at the hoop. At the quarter, the Warriors found themselves ahead by three, 16-13. During the second period, the Warriors hit a dry spell on offense, and made numerous mistakes of defense as the Streaks began to nibble away at the lead.Finally after Zeller tied it up at 22 with 1:00 remaining, the Streaks Plaindealer nroKKn^ tV*r lir»lr nnintc rr\v o Ot OO intermission. The third period was all Bob Zeller and Bob Bryniarksi for the Warriors. They combined for all the Warrior scoring as the local crew narrowed the margin to a mere point. 35-34. going into the final period. The final period saw the student sections from both schools on their feet. The noise was deafening as the two teams continued to battle Bob Bryniarski's basket at 5:15 tied it at 36 apiece, and 30 seconds later Bob Zeller's basket gave the Warriors.t^e lead for the first time since the second period 38-36. Then the turning point of the game took place. A Streak player stepped over the line on a successful free throw, That free throw would have narrowed the margin to one. and may have made the difference, as the game was tied at the end of regulation Back to the game, the Streaks made two baskets and the Warriors hit a dry spell until Bob Bryniarski's basket with 0:30 remaining brought the Warriors to within two, 44-42 A Woodstock pass out of bounds gave the Warriors the ball and with just two seconds remaining, Bob Zeller, surrounded by Streak players, tied the game at the end of regulation at 44 all. In the first overtime. John Costigan's 10-footer at 1:56 put the Warriors ahead 46-44. but Leahey connected at the 0:30 mark to knot it up again and the Warriors could not get the edge sending in into a second overtime. The second extra period was just plain bedlam in the Woodstock gym Both student cherring sections were trying to outdo the other, and I must admit the larger Warrior section had the edge. Mike Burgdorf. at the 1:00 mark, hit a 10-footer to give the Warriors the lead, but then Joe Leahey's two free throws, (in the midst of a Warrior noise making section) tied it up once again. With just five seconds remaining on the clock, Bob Greve was fouled and went to the line for two shots By this time the rafters were about to come down from the Woodstock side of the gym. They didn't forget the game at Mellciu y, when Ivitxei t niiSscu tWO ii'cc thl"OWS that CGUlu have made the difference in the overtime defeat earlier this season. The calm-collected veteran, guard made the first of the one and one, and when he missed the second, time ran out before the Streaks could get the ball down the floor for a shot. The Warriors still remain in second place in the Fox Valley with a 7-3 record. It tfas the Warriors'eighth straight win and leaves them with a 14-6 mark on the season. I have to comment on the play of Bob Bryniarski and Mike Burgdorf. These two lads have not recieved much recognition this year, but Friday night they earned their place in this year's Warrior basketball story. Bob Bryniarski's shooting and all around play has to be most pleasing to Ken Ludwig, and the quickness of Mike Burgdorf who held Leahey to a mere eight points in the second half, has to be one of his better accomplishments. It was a smiling Ken Ludwig that I talked to after the game. This was the 9th game of the season that could have been called close and the Warriors have won them all. He commented, "The guys did a fine job, and I am really proud of this group of kids for the effort they put forth". Dick Rabbitt --^ Costigan Bryniarski Zeller .

The Warriors, who at one time trailed 17-7 midway in the second period, switched from a full court zone to a man-to-man defense which caused numerous Jacobs turnovers and swung the momentum back towards McHenry. Trailing at halftime by only 4 points, 21-17, McHenry's 3rd qtr defense helped them to a 33-31 lead. However, foul trouble in the 4th quarter hurt the Warriors as Sue Haddick. Senior co-captain and floor leader, fouled out with 3:56 Cagers Split In Conference An fouled out with 4 minutes left and it was all downhill from there. "That was probably the turning point in the game," Dan Stanowski said. "That took some of the wind out of our sails." Besides Dehn's 17, Inge Dschida and Cheri Kofler hit for 6, Joan Pierce had 4, Jane Pecucci had two and Kim Grenman had 3. Jane I^ine and Sherry Berg paced the winning Beloit team with 11 points each. Stanowski summed up the game as "another example of our lack of consistent concentration and in­ tensity." The intensity that lacked in South Beloit found its way to Harvard, however, but faded in the fourth quarter as Johnsburg fell 46-60 It was a pretty even battle throughout most of the game. Johnsburg trailed 12- 10 after one quarter and 26-24 at half. They did manage a four point lead in the middle of the third period, but fell behind by three by period's end. 36-39. "We made a mistake which cost us a bucket with a few seconds left in the quarter." Stanowski said "That seemed to psych them (Harvard) up and it took a while for us to get over it ." The Hornets pulled away in the final eight minutes and took an easy. 14-point victory and caused Johnsburg to lose its fourth game in its last five encounters. Cheri Kofler took scoring honors for Johnsburg, hit­ ting 7 field goals for 14 points. Sue Dehn added 13. but both leading scorers fouled out in the late going Inge Dschida had eight points, but has not been able to get the ball enough to become a big scoring threat in games of^late. Theresa Hauck added four, Kim Grenman had three, while Jane Pecucci and Tracey Esposito each addded two points. Lori Kramarczy led all scorers with 19 for Harvard, and her teammate Kim Koch had 14. Coach Stanowski still was not disheartened with the loss "I still think we have some victories ready to happen because we haven't given up through our losing streak and I'm proud of our girls for that," Stanowski said "Whenever the moment comes we get our mental and p h y s i c a l c a p a b i l i t i e s t o g e t h e r , w e ' l l w i n a n d probably keep winning " The Skyhawks come home T h u r s d a y a g a i n s t Hononegah, who lo#t to Johnsburg. 45-39 on Jan. 22 which marks the last game the girls have won They then play Marengo aext Tuesday.

Both teams made 8 points the third period, and then disaster struck the Warriors. First Karen Karpavicius committed her fifth foul and was banished to the bench, and then the Warriors could not make a free throw missing 8 in the period, 5 of which came on the front end of of a one and one. However, all was not lost as the Warriors were informed that an earlier defeat at the hands of North Chicago resulted in victory.
