MARCH I, lftl Warriors Stampede Indians In Regionals >\ A scorching first-half blitz by the Warriors assured a 21- point victory over Rockton Hononegah Tuesday night and advanced the locals into the finals of the Class AA McHenry Regional set for Friday. The Indians of Hononegah, sporting a\second place 7-5 record in the Class A dominated Shark Con ference, entered the first round, game with a double- urhammv hanrtiMn .ipft anri Jay Clemmons, sure-handed brother guards, were both suspended from the team last weekend (See related story). The loss of the Clemmon brothers didn't keep the Indians from taking a 4-0 lead in the early going as the Warriors got off to a sluggish start.- In the last 6 minutes of the first quarter, however, the Indians were stymied to zilch on the scoreboard while the Warriors put in 12 straight points to take a first period, 12-4 lead. The Ludwig crew extended the 12-straight points to 16 as John Costigan and Bob Bryniarski hit long ones early in the second period. Casey Bennett ended the Hononegah drought with a layup, before Bob Zeller (19 points on the day) added two quick 10-footers, followed by a Bob Greve (17 points for the night) corner bomb. The Warriors held a com fortable, 24-6 lead. Mid-way through the period, the Warrior coach went to his bench, and the reserves didn't hurt the McHenry cause a bit. Bet ween the first and second string, the Warriors caused 12 Hononegah turnovers in the second quarter alone. Most of the turnovers came in the form of steals as the Indians missed the batShmdfat vf^-ike twm- mons. The warriors con verted on 70 percent of the Hononegah miscues and went into the locker room at halftime with a com manding, 39-15 lead. In the third stanza, however, the Warriors came out flat. The Indians figured they had nothing to loose and began to break the press that the Warrior defense stayed with for most of the game. The Indians came, back slightly as both teams started to get generous with the turnovers. Only Bob Bryniarski, hitting from the corner most of the night, and Bob Greve, the fourth leading scorer in the Fox Valley, scored for the locals in the third period. Both of the scorers hit three baskets in the period, but the Indians cut the lead to 16, 51-35. The Indians outscored the Warriors, 20-11 in the third quarter. The fourth period brought in 6 quick points for the Warriors as John Costigan put in a quick one to start the period to go along with two extra effort rebound shots by Bob Zeller With a 22 point margin, both teams played even the rest of the way with the Warriors racking up their 17th victory of the season, 69-48. Even with the 21-point victory, the Warriors are coming off two sluggish performances. They com mitted 16 turnovers in the game, too many to give to either Woodstock or Belvidere, would-be op- Caught Short-Handed me Mcnenry Kegionals couldn't have come at a better time for the local Warriors.

The two brother, Jeff, a 5'8" junior and Jay, a 5' 10" senior, guided the Indians to a 7-5 Shark Conference mark. The record was good for second place behind state-rated Marengo and the two guards continually contributed 20-25 points to the Hononegah cause throughout the season- Known for a hot temper, Jay was called for about 4 technical fouls throughout the 1960-61 season, according to sources out of Rockton. After recording another technical in a recent game, Jay was suspended from play for one Kme and after another show of temper on the team bus, was booted from the team by head coach Willie Hanson. Apparently in an effort to get their son reinstated, the parents of Jay talked to the coach, according to the source, which resulted in Jeff also being banished from further participation. In both Hononegah wins over Johnsburg this season, Jeff accumulated 13 and 12 points while Jay put in 17 and 12, respectively.

The Indians ended their season 9-14, and will go home wondering if the Clemmons could have cut down on their 24 total turnovers and made a game out of it.

McHenry will face Woodstock on Friday night as the Blue Streaks whipped Belvidere, 82-53, on Wednesday night. Joe Leahey, hobbled by a slight sprained ankle, returned to the Woodstock lineip against Belvidere and scored 15 points, thus destroying any rumors that he would not be ready for regional action.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD The Skyhawk girl cagers recorded their third victory in the last four battles with a 36-27 victory over Beloit Catholic at Johnsburg on Tuesday. The girls moved their Shark Conference record to 4-8 and 8-11 overall, winning against Beloit Catholic and pounding North Boone in a make-up game on Monday, 71-35 The two late season triumphs prompted coach Dan Stanowski to bubble, "I think the girls are ready for the state tournament. I'm really enthusiastic about our chances now." Against Beloit Catholic on Tuesday, the Skyhawks used a half-court trap in the second quarter which caused Beloit Catholic to turn the ball over rather frequently. The Skyhawks trailed by 2 after one period, 8-6, but came back on the heels of the awesome press to outscore their opponents, 15-7 in the second stanza. The two teams battled to a 9-6 Johnsburg advantage in quarter three and stayed even for the most part in the fourth quarter as Johnsburg ended up on top 36-27. "We certainly didn't play as well as last night (against North Boone),"Stanowski said. "We did, however, ploy solidly and well for the last three quarters." For Johnsburg, Sue Dehn paced the local attack with 15 while Cheri Kofler added 10 and Inge Dschida added 4. Johnsburg outrebounded Beloit Catholic, 38-29. In the North Boone game on Monday, Johnsburg again outrebounded the opponents, this time 57-22. A total of 33 Johnsburg rebounds came off the offensive boards which meant more than one shot at the basket and consequently a rousing 71-35 victory. "I am very pleased," Stanowski said. "This is the first time all year that we attacked the other team both offensively and defensively for the entire game." The locals led 18- 8 after one, 33-20 at half and 57-28 after a fine third quarter. A total of 22 of the 7l points enme from the substitutes and 9 out of the 10 Johnsburg girls that played hit the scoring column. This time Inge Dschida led the Skyhawks with 16 points on 7 feild goals and 2 free throws. Joan Pierce had 12, Theresa Hauck and Sue Dehn, 9, while Cheri Kofler recorded 8, and Kim Grenman had 7. Other scorers included Jane Pecucci and Tracey Esposito with 4 and Deanna Davis with 2. Johnsburg will now rest until Monday night when they face Richmond-Burton in the first game of the Johnsburg Regional at 6:30 p.m. Richmond is sporting a 6-2 record in the Big Eight Conference at the moment, good for second place.
