The Warriors have lost 19 games this season, 10 of them by two runs or less. Last week's results found the Warriors losing to Woodstock 8-6 and Crown 4- 3. McHenry is now 3-10 in the Fox Valley Conference <4-19 overall) and first-year coach Brian Wilson is becoming more certain that his team is snake bitten. "The Crown game was a real heartbreaker," Wilson said. "We haven't caught a break all year and this was just another near miss." McHenry had a runner on Plaindealer Doherty's Wins Big In 12-Inch No one had to remind Dick Doherty that he was missing three all-stars from last season's roster. And even if Doherty didn't know, he wasn't concerned when Doherty's romped to a 22-1 victory over Jewel Park. Doherty's 'wrecking crew' walloped 21 hits, including 10 for extra bases Jeff Med- dings paced the attack with four hits, while both John and Irish DeCiccio had three hits apiece. Matt Oik added a double, triple and three RBIs. Mike Peterson ONE MINUTE SPORTS QUIZ 1. Who won the Sea Pines Heritage Golf Classic? 2. Name the winner of the NCAA basketball champion­ ship. 3.

John Meyers, Phil Oeffling. Joel Wakitsch and Harry May all had two hits each with May including a triple, double and three RBIs Bud Smith. Gary Rud- sinski and Gary Vogler all had two hits for Huemann's The trio accounted for all six hits for the losers in the five- inning affair. "Rick Wakitsch is alive and well." could have been the exclamation of Rusty Nail Inn's manager Kevin 'Bauer's after t'he Nail got off on the right foot by defeating Hainesville Inn 17-5. Wakitsch. after a premature retirement in 1980 with Old Bridge. returned to McHenry 12-inch softball in fine style by slamming two home runs out of the park, adding a pair of doubles, four RBIs and three runs scored in four at-bats. Rusty Nail's Ray Thelen was also perfect at the plate, going four for four with an inside-the-park homer, two doubles and four runs scored Al Stilling added two hits while Doug Schmitt drove in two runs with a pair of sacrifice flies and a base hit.

WHOLESALE PRICES!! second base and two out in the seventh inning against Crown. Scott Dillon hit the ball right on the nose, but Crown's rightfielder snagged the liner with a diving, tumbling catch. The Warriors led only once in the game, when they erased a 1-0 deficit with two runs in the first. Rob Kalck and Bob Bryniarski walked and a double steal put runners on second and third with two out. Joe Bauml drove in a run with a single and Bryniarski scored on a passed ball. But Crown rallied for three runs in the second on four singles - including three in a row to start the frame - and took a 4-2 lead McHenry's last gasp came in the seventh when Kalck singled, stole second and third and scored on a throwing error. The Warriors lost another tough one to Woodstock, but Wilson was pleased with the effort expended by his charges. "I was proud with the way we came back after being down 7-3." he said. McHenry fell into that hole despite some clutch hitting. Jeff McNish followed Kalck's triple with a single to score McHenry's first run in the third inning. In the fourth. Bob Greve reached on an error, John Doessel tripled him home and he scored on a fielder's choice hit by Kalck The Blue Streaks led by four entering the sixth but the Warriors chipped away. Fritz Larsen reached on an error and Greve and Kalck singled. After Bryniarski was hit by a pitch, Dave Smith drove in two runs with a double. At least, the umpire said it was a double "I'd swear it went over the fence for a home run," Wilson said. "Some of our kids had a better angle and they said it went over and the plate umpire thought it did too. The only person who said it didn't was the guy who had to make the call." Had that hit been declared a home run, McHenry would have taken an 8-7 lead. Instead the rally died at that point and the Streaks added an insurance run in their half of the sixth to create the final score The Warriors will see if luck is on their side Wed­ nesday. when they travel to Dundee. On Thursday, McHenry plays at Lake Zurich. Both games get underway at 4:30 p.m. County Tumblers In Regionals The McHenry County Tumbleweeds, under the coaching of Duane Sperry, traveled to Rockford May 3 for the regional tumbling championships for beginner and novice divisions.

MAY 13, lMl Warrior Boys Win Fox Valley Track Crown The McHenry High thinclads coached by Dan Boland, topped off a perfect dual meet season bv winning the Fox Valley Conference meet held Friday at Jacobs high school. / The Warriors won, but not before they had to fight off Crystal Lake South and the Blue Streaks from Wood­ stock right down to the final event. It was a day the Warriors had been pointing toward all season, and all the in, misery and hard work it forth since early in the year finally paid off for the Warriors. McHenry fans are unsure if this is the first time McHenry has won a con­ ference track title. But the coaches and squad will no doubt relive Friday for many years to come. With two events to go the Warriors trailed the Woodstock Blue Streaks by five points, and were just three ahead of the Gators from Crystal Lake South. The time came for the Warriors to get the task done. The 200 meter dash found Aric Akins and Mladen Rudman fired out of the blocks as if shot from a cannon. The Warrior duo led the pack and matched stride for stride until Akins edged Rudman at the tape. Eighteen big points were added for the Warriors, but both Woodstock and South also scored and the Warriors were no! out of the woods yet. The final event of the evening, the 1600 meter relay', put all the marbles on the table. The crew of Dave D'Angelo, Scott Schmidt, Jay Caron and Pete Rit- thaler really put on the after burners and easily won the event and the meet for the Warriors. Indeed it was a happy group of Warriors who waited at the Award stand to receive the big trophy as conference champions. The Warriors had many heroes. Akins, the speedster who won both the 100 and 200 meter dahes and picked up a sixth in the shot put; Dan Freund. who bettered his shot put toss by over a foot to gain a fifth spot; Ritthaler. who breezed to a first in the 400 meter run and gained a fourth in the 100. Eric Crittenden, a fourth in the discus, Jon Peterson, a fifth in the high hurdles; Brian Wright, who picked up a sixth in the 1600; Wade Cepulis a sixth in the 3200 race; a surprise victor in the long jump, Ray Giagnoni, who also took a fourth in the triple jump The three relay winners, the 400 with Keith Schaefer. D'Angelo, Rudman and Ritthaler, the 800 relay team of Schmidt, Schaefer, Rudman and Akins, and of course the 1600 relay team also deserve credit The 3200 relay team fresh­ men Marty Koleno and Brian Wright, along with sophomore Jim Wvnveen and junior Caron - put on a super display of intestinal for­ titude. They placed second and ignited the Warriors to their victory. Not to be forgotten are those who didn't score, but were giving their best, iiot only in competing, but encouraging their fellow teammates during the af­ ternoon and evening. Credit also goes out to the assistant coaches. Joe Schlender and Earl Kyle. It was a super track meet won by a super team. TEAM TOTALS McHENRY 109 Crystal Lake South 101': Woodstcok 101 Cary Grove 85 Crystal Lake Central 59'; Saunders Qualifies At District Meet Delia Saunders, a freshman half-miler on McHenry's girls' track team, qualified for the state finals by winning the event at the Libertvville district meet on Saturday. Her time was 2:25, and she will advance to Charleston next weekend for the state finals. Coach Don Seaton's squad finished 13th in the 18-team event. Seaton was most pleased with the showing of his young squad, as many of them had their best times or distances of the year on Saturday. Kelly Thomas, although not placing, threw the discus 13 feet better than the existing school record with a toss of 98'4". Barb Zuber, one of two seniors, ran the mile in 13:30 and the other senior Kim Fredericks didder best of the season in the long iump. Kristy Howard won her heat in the 800, but didn't place in the finals. Seaton went on to say that the four relay teams all bettered their previous performances of the season. The future looks bright for the girls in the years to come, as most of the squad was made up of freshmen and sophomores. The boys' team was in the same position several years ago, but they captured the Fox Valley meet this year. Crown Jacobs Dundee 44'^ 33* ^ 24 RESULTS High Jump: Sczepanski Cr.); 2.
