STAFF PHOTO - CARL MOESCHE McHenry high school finished a disappointing fifth place at the Sectional meet at Pinecrest golf course in Huntley Tuesday, and thereby failed to qualify for the state meet. The Warriors shot a 331 which tied them with Lake Forest. Crystal Lakfe South won the 12-team Sectional with a low score of 314. Highland Park finished second in the meet with 323 strokes, and was followed by Rockford Guilford, third with 327; and Freeport, fourth with 330. As the top three teams, South, t Highland Park, and Guilford will now advance to state. The top individual per­ formances were turned in by Doug Murphy of Crystal Lake Central and Mitch Kovitz of Highland Park who both fired a 76. Kovitz later won a two hole playoff to win the first place medal. The next three places all went to Crystal Lake South golfers. Pat Corey fired a 77, Brian Turner had a 78, and Pete Leveille finished with a 79. Nine golfers ended play with a score of 80 forcing a playoff to determine the the final two medal winners. After completing six ad­ ditional holes, Steve Cigelnik of Highland Park edged McHenry's Mike Nank for sixth place. By finishing in the top seven, however, Nank still won a medal. . The senior will also be the only Warrior traveling to state this year.. He will be joined by five other players who shot an 80 or better from Hornets Slaughter Fox Lake Tjhe McHenry Hornets football team got back on the right track Saturday night by crushing Fox Lake 38-0. The Hornets had suffered their only loss of the season in their previous outing at Northbrook two weeks ago, but Saturday night Phil Thome's team looked well recovered. McHenry* scored all it would actually need early in the game when fullback Mike Schultz scored on a two-yard plunge. The extra point failed, but the Hornets led 6-0. The remainder of the first half was anything but sharp execution as neither team could sustain a drive. Costly penalties, turnovers, and numerous punts took away any other scoring op­ portunities. McHenry was penalized for 40 yards, had given the ball to Fox Lake four times on fumbles, and even managed a blocked punt, a first for the year "It was one our worst halfs of the year," sai Thorne. "At halftime w said to the kids that by the game's end there better be 3fi points on the board." Fortunately when the final gun went off, there were. In the second half, the Hornets looked like an en­ tirely different team than they did in the first 30 minutes. They looked like the McHenry team of old. After taking the second half kickoff. the Hornets got 13 yards from Schultz the first play. On the next play halfback John Diedrich dashed 65 yards for the game's second touchdown and the Hornets were on their way. Fox Lake failed to move the ball after taking the kickoff and punted it back to McHenry. Keeping the ball -odPthe ground, the Hornets 7 goKth^ir third touchdown moments later when Diedrich scored his second of the game. This time his run was from 35 yards out. Again the extra point was no good, but McHenry led 18-0. The fourth Hornet touch­ down was set up by a sprint out by quarterback William Cameron that went for 13 yards and a first down on the Fox Lake 4ive-yard line. From there, tRe^Hornets again gave th< Diedrich who car making the score In the fourth quarter, Hurricanes Sixth At Amboy Marian Central's cross r country team showed its strength at the Amboy In­ vitational Monday night by 'finishing sixth out of 30 contending teams with 192 points. The Amboy In­ vitational is considered a mini-state meet as Monday attracted nine of the top ten schools in the state in Class A. Petersburg-Porta won the Invitational with 114 points and was followed by Chrisman, second with 135; Immaculate Conception, third with 158; Winnebago, fourth with 170; and Man- teno, fifth with 187. As he has done all season, senior John Wottreng again paced the Hurricanes as he finished 24th in 16 minutes and three seconds. Brother John Wottreng was just off his pace as he came in 26th overall with a 16:04 clocking. Jay Chapman was the third best Marian finisher as he came in 35th with a time of 16:24; and he was followed by Bob Hartmann, 47tn in 16:35; Dave Zabielski, 60th in 16:51; Dave Cotteleer, 77th in 17:05; and Yun Kim, 103rd in 17:40. "We were really happy to finish in the top 10," said a pleased Marian coach Hans Rokus. "Considering some of the teams that we defeated,. I'm pretty satisfied." , The Hurricanes, ranked 16 in the Class A Power Ratings, had defeated three schools that were ranked ahead of them in the state. They defeated top ranked Oregon, sixth ranked Princeton, and also ninth rated Oakwood. With a record of 12-2 and eight straight wins, Marian looks ahead the the County Meet to be held on Saturday, Oct. 17. The race will begin at 9:30 a.m. Carl Moesche SWEATSHIRTS SCHOOL EMBLEMS •McHENRY WARRIORS • JOHNSBURG SKYHAWKS •MARIAN HURRICANES •RICHMOND ROCKETS •ALSO NIKE EMBLEMS $ir SALE ENDS OCT. 17 NOW ONLY 1 mm JOHN'S SPORT STOP (Aero** From AIP Next To Eby Brown) McHenry 344-3510 - Dally 9:30-0 Sot 9-5 non-qualifying teams. These players are Murphy (76), Bob Cramer (80) and Bob Jacobs (80) of Freeport, Nick Kolb (80) of Lake Forest, and Jeff Radke (80) of Deerfield. After finishing first in its own District last week, McHenry failed to live up to early season expectations. Steve Svec followed Nank with the next best score as he fired an 81. He was followed by Mike Bauml with an 83, Brad Adams with an 87, and Tom Neuman with a 91. The hero in last week's District meet, Kirk Barnicle, withdrew from play at the 15th hole after his tee shot went out of bounds. Ht£ absense may have cost his team severly as the burden fell on the remaining five players. With a team score of 331, McHenry finished only four strokes away from going to state. "Well, we still had a good year," said a disgruntled Cuda. "Next year will be another year." Indeed the Warriors had a banner year finishing at 12-2 and winning both the con­ ference meet and the district. They also finished first in the Randall Oaks and Lake Forest Invitationals. With only Nank lost through graduation for next / year, McHenry will have its sights set on state once again. But for the Warriors to achieve their goal, it will require every team member to contribute to the effort.

Mark Jinga ran for the two- point extra point jgnding the scoring at 38-0. The key to the game was the fine job Tony Fick's offensive line did in opening up holes in the second half. McHenry running backs gaines 346 yards on the ground, leaving Cameron to throw on only two occasions. Diedrich was easily the game's leading ground gainer with 194 yards. His four touchdowns rushing also gave him a total of 10 in games. tz finished with 77 yards rushing, and was followed by Hawley with 64, Jinga with nine, and Pat Miller with two yards.

Carl Moesche On The Sideline With Dick Rabbitt for the ating 30 on ^ The junior e event, the Peoria It was a happy weekend in Warriorland as athletes in numerous events did themselves quite proud. Chuck Cuda's golfers won the District and q * Sectional, with Kirk Barnicle shooting the back nine at the McHenry Country c member finished with a 70 and medalist in Hutch's"* terriers placed second in invitatiionarOutside of the state meet, this is one of the largest cross country meets in the nation. With 45 schools taking part, to get in the top 10 is quite an achievement, buf placing second is mind blowing. The Warriors are ranked thirteenth in the state, but to show how politics play a big part, Schaumburg who the Warriors defeated in a dual meet are ranked third. Six of the teams the Warriors beat Saturday, are ahead of them in the state polls. Sometimes there is no justice. York high school of Elmhurst the defending state champions, won the meet. Pam Shaffer's volleyball team finished third in the Zion meet on Monday. The girls have won eight of their last nine matches and are beginning to show die promise that was expected of them earlier in tne season. Joe Schlender's Warriors tipped Cary Grove 18-14 on a 92-yard pass play late in the game for a come from behind win over the Trojans. The win puts the Warriors in a five- way tie for first place in the Fox Valley. Some more politics, the Trojans dropped from fifth to tenth in Class 4- A. The Warriors did manage Xo get into the Honorable Mention. Big homecoming game tonight. The Dundee Cardunals will visit McCracken field, and from all reports will try and fill the air with footballs all njght. The Warriors are no slouch either when it comes time to put the ball in the air, so we can expect a lot of passing, nopefully a lot of scoring on the part of the Warriors, and the breaking of the homecoming jinx at last. Sr--. The Warriors put the first crack in the crystal ball last week, and South finished the job bv losing to Jacobs. For eight years I have picked the Warriors to win their homecoming £ame, but tonight I'm picking the Cards to continue the jinx of a Warrior victory at homecoming. Woodstock to keep Crystal Lake South in the cellar of the Fox Valley with a big win over the Gators. Two more homecoming are on tap, Central to defeat Jacobs, and Cary Grove to rebound from the Warrior loss to beat Crown. The homecomings are at both Jacobs and Crown. Marian to step out of the Shark and defeat Joe Schlender's old team Aurora Central in a close game. In the battle of the winless, I pick Marengo to beat Johnsburg. SPECIAL!
