The Warriors, who had limited service from Bob Zeller due to foul trouble, could not contain the height of the Vikings, nor the shooting of Gary Gliesman who led all sewers with 27 points. The Warriors jumped out to a quick 6-2 margin and at 1:30 » ujC pw'icd Zcllcr s basket gave the n'smors a 10 7 advantage, but a basket by Leske and a tree throw Dy Gliesman tied it at 10 all to end the period.

Another exchange of baskets saw the Warriors on top 18 to 14, when at 6:51, Bob Plaindealer Districts Weigh Heavy On Wrona Brian Wrona, supporting a 29-2-1 record going into the Woodstock District wrestling match Friday, failed to make his proper weight and was eliminated in first round action for - McHenry last weekend » The Warrior bright spot " throughout all of the season turned out to be a sore spot when he weighed in at V«- pound over 119 at home before the match. At the official weigh-in at Wood­ stock, Wrona found out he was Vpound over. With 15 minutes before his match, Wrona worked hard to lose the 8 ounces necessary to compete. He came up about 4 ounces short, however, and set the stage for a miserable McHenry showing. The Warriors managed 6.5 points on the day, good for last place in the tournament. Crystal Lake South tallied ~ 114.5 to take the cham­ pionship, while Dundee ~ finished second with 99, and * Crown took third with 70.5 total points. The third-seeded Blue Streaks settled for sixth place behind Jacobs. Woodstock managed 55 points, 1.5 points behind Jacobs. Cary-Grove slipped into fourth place with 60 points. Crystal Lake Central with 54 took seventh place away from Barrington (47), while Wauconda stayed ahead of McHeriry with 26 points. Only freshman Steve Carby at 96 pounds was able to place in the districts. Losing against Roger Shelton of Dundee, 9-0, Carby waited for Shelton to beat Peter Quinn of Jacobs, 9-2, giving Carby a chance at third place Carby won third in a close 3-2 decision. Mike Connor won his first match at 138, 10-7, but later lost while Tom Ketchum also won his fist match, 21-13 over Eckman of Wauconda before falling in the second round.

The Hornets captured the 10- team districts on their home mats, and the 2054 points «was a new school record. Local teams, Johnsburg and Marian Central also competed and did not show very well. Marian managed «a fifth place with 50 points while Johnsburg failed miserably in capturing only two points and suffering tenth place out of ten teams entered. Walther Lutheran finished third, 594, St. Benedict came in fourth, 52, and St. Edwards took sixth behind Marian with 47.

With the big man out of there, the Warriors kept battling the huge Vuting team on even terms, and Costigan's basket at the 1:00 mark knotted it at 21 all. With just seconds remaining, Kilheftner hit the hoop and the Warriors trailed 31 to 29 at the intermission. . At the coffee stand during the intermission, Crown fans were buzzing with excitement on the play of the Warriors against their state rated team. A few had the feeling that maybe sn upset was in the making. witn bob teller soil on the oencn the vikings oegan to use their height to an advantage. After Kepp's basket, Szcepanski made another of his "dunk" shots, but this time Ken Ludwig called a time out to regroup his Warriors. Remember when Szcepanski made that "dunk" in the Warrior gym that enabled the Vikings to run a string of 26 unanswerea points in the first meeting between the two teams. Dave' Smith, playing in Zeller's spot connected with a bucket, three minutes later Greve hit the hoop, and Smith hit with seconds remaining for the only Warrior scoring of the period as they fell behind 47 to 35 going into the final eight minutes. Zeller's basket brought the Warriors within 10, but then at 6:32, he committed his fifth foul and was banished to the bench. From tjhen on it was downhill for the local crew who couldn't stop tie shooting and rebounding of Gary Gliesman and went down to a 69-47 defeat. The win for Crown not only clinched the title, but was their 19th win in a row and 20th of 21 games. Their only loss was to Liberyville in the Barrington Thanksgiving tourney. The Warriors did however play a little better brand of basketball Friday night. They committed only 8 turnovers to the Vikes 15. With both Zeller and John Costigan on the bench with foul trouble, however, the rebounding was left up to the little guys, and they just couldn't get the job done against the taller Vikings. Crown didn't look like a state rated team Friday night. Whether they were overconfident playing the smaller Warriors I do not know. They will have to improve a great deal, because one of these days in state play they are going to meet a team just as tall, and more phvsical than they are, and I don't know if they can get the job done. Only time will tell.

Above, the 6* Skyhawk forward (42) attempted to shoot the ball over Lester Dunkel. (30), 6'5" center for the So bos. Guetzloff was crammed on this play and was later crammed again by the tall Dunkel. Guetzloff had more bad luck in the second half as Dunkel stole the ball from him underneath the opposing basket (inset), and converted It into a bucket.

Joel Wakitsch Four Skyhawks poured in totals of double figures which offset the 24 points of South Beloit's Lester Dunkel as Johnsburg recorded its 14th victory of the season last Friday night at Johnsburg. Paced by Rick Niess's 21 points, the Skyhawks also found scoring punch from Tom Pieper, 16, Chuck Novy, 14, and Frank Jakubicek, 12 in moving their conference mark to 5-6 with the decisive, 67-58 triumph. The game started out with plenty of turnovers on both sides, mixed with a tad of good shooting. Rick Neiss started the scoring and ended the scoring in the first quarter, hitting 4 of 6 shots in me first eight minutes and helping Johnsburg to a 15-14 lead. The Sobos stayed close until Johnsburg made a surge midway through period two. Frank Jakubicek and Tom Pieper did most of the damage, and when Neiss hit a swish from the corner with 5 seconds left in the half, Johnsburg sat on a comfortable 41-34 lead at halftime. Johnsburg ended the half with 19 of 35 shots and 3 of 4 charity tosses (54 percent), while South Beloit hit 62 percent, hitting 15 of 24 shots. The third period saw even play throughout the first seven minutes, but Dunkel, who scored 13 first half points hit a breakaway layup with 7 seconds left and pulled South Beloit to within seven, 53-46 at period's end. The pace slowed somewhat in the final stanza with the Sobos seemingly content with the seven-point deficit. Johnsburg Jlit its first bucket of the quarter on a Rick Neiss drive at the 5:35 mark. The Sobo6 pulled to within live points, 59-54 at the 2:16 mark on an 18-f0oter by Vernon Jones. After Tony Thornton hit a free throw, Dunkel hit a ten-foot jumper to put the Sobos two points down with 1:10 remaining. Tom Pieper hit the first end of a one-and- one situation after drawing a backcourt foul from the Sobo press. Neiss then pulled down a big rebound off an errant Sobo shot, but Frank Jakubicek threw away the lead pass on the breakaway and the Sobos trailed by three at their own timeout with 38 seconds left. A timely steal underneath by Pieper set up a driving layup by the consistent junior to put Johnsburg up by five, 62-57. The Sobos hurried down the court and Dunkel missed a usually sure layup, but was fouled on the shot with 21 seconds left in the game He made the first free throw, but Chuck Novy grabbed the carom off the second shot and drew a foul from the Sobo's pesky Ben Green. Novy put in both ends of the two-shot foul. More of the same followed when Pieper drew a foul on a Dunkel miss and put in two charity shots. Novy then ended the scoring, drawing yet another foul and puttihg the first end of two shots to close out the scoring and pinned South Beloit with its eighth conference loss of the season. Johnsburg ended the game with a commendable 46 percent from the field (27 of 58). Thev won the game at the line, however, offsetting the Sobo's 46 percent shooting with 13 of 17 free throws. Six of the foul shots came in the last minute of play. South Beloit also hit 46 percent, (26 of 56), but only shot 10 free throws in the ball game, hitting on six of them. Besides the four, double-figure scores for Johnsburg, Jeff Bartmann and Gary Guetzloff hit a bucket each. Vernon Jones hit 14 points (7 of 15) before fouling out late in the fourth period, while teammate Ben Green added 13 to Dunkel's 24, In other Shark games last weekend, Marengo beat Hononegah, 73-57 for its 19th straight, while Beloit Catholic downed North Boone in overtime, 61-59.
