A . a . 1 by sophc Gordon Bourey the warriors finished on top of the heap andeasily defeated runner-up Hoffman Estates 38 to52. Barrington was third, and Streamwood was fourth. Chris Creutz a freshman on the Warrior squad did a remarkable job in finishing 9th in the race. The girls' Cross country team placed third in the District, thus also qualifying for the Sectional. Delia Saunders place fifth and Pam Bradley was sixth. The Warriors now travel to Lake Forest tomorrow for Sectionals, and although the competition gets tougher, the state ranked Warriors have a good chance to advance to the state final sin Peoria next weekend. Taking second in the Peoria Invitational several weeks ago has the Warriors believing in themselves. On behalf of all Warrior fans we wish them good luck tomorrow. Congratulations to Pam West a member of the McHenry Volleyball team of Pam Shaffer. The senior Warrior for the second time made the All Conference team selected by the coaches last week at Crystal Lake. It is quite an honor for the young lady, and Warrior fans are proud of her achievements on the volleyball court. Tomorrow Warrior fans are going to see something different in the way of football. The Warriors are hosting an afternoon game against the Crown Vikings at McCracken field. In talking with "Mac" and we go back a long time, too long as he said, the Warriors have not played a day game at home since the 1940 season, when the field was then in back of East campus running North and South. If my memory serves me correctly, the lights were added in 1941 when the field was set from the golf course that time, all games have been played on Friday night. School officials have been kicking the idea of a home afternoon game around for several years, in what I will call the "Holy Experiment". Other schools in the area along with several Fox Valley teams play home games on Saturday afternoon. In my years of attending Warrior football games both as a coach and a spectator, Ihave yet to see what I would call a good crowd. There are two exceptions, however, Barrington playing in the state playoffs several years ago played Rockford East, and in another year they played Jollet Catholic before a capacity crowd. In regular season Smes it was a different story. Students are working at w, adult fans are either mowing the lawn or watching college football on television or yet are not interested enough in the local team to attend a Saturday afternoon game. Gate receipts have to be down for the home school. Anyway it will be interesting to see how the Warriors fare for attendance from a Friday night to a Saturday afternoon game. Crowd control should be excellent, as there is no place to hide in the sunshine. The old crystal ball has really been taking a beating this season. My loyalty to the Warriors hasn't helped it one bit, but I have faith in Joe Schlender and his Warriors in the final game to keep the record intact against the Crown Vikings. I may even have to give a half-time pep Central should wrap up the championship against the Gators of South tonight Bill Mack's team is in high gear these days getting ready fore the playoffs. Dunaee will beat Woodstock, I can't understand the Streaks nosedive the last several weeks. Cary should beat Jacobs in a real ball game. I pick the Johnsburg Sky hawks to win their second game of the season over Wneaton Christian and get Bob Schmitt smiling again, and also Marian to bounce back from the defeat from Hononegah and beat Harvard. Skyhawk Spikers Win; Marian Loses Area Harriers Eye Sectional Meets The calendar has been flipped over to November, but for three area high school cross country teams the season continues as Saturday marks IHSA Sectional competition. McHenry advances both its boys and girls teams teams to the Lake Forest Sectional in Class AA. Hosting their own District last Saturday, the Warriors captured first place in the boys race with 38 points despite having top runner Wade Cepulis hampered by illness. Sophomore Steve Carby and senior Gordy Bourey picked up the slack, however, by finishing second and third, respectively, propelling McHenry to victory. After compiling a 14-1 regular season, the Warriors have been unstoppable. Prior to the District win, ceajph^ Bill Hutchinson's |»ftU:.won the Fox Valley conference at Veterans Acres and also the McHenry County meet at Woodstock the previous two Saturdays. In the latest Class AA Power ratings, McHenry is ranked sixth in the state. The Warrior girls qualified for Sectionals by finishing third in their District. Sophomore Delia Saunders and freshman Pam Bradley led McHenry last Saturday by finishing fifth and sixth, respectively.

Coach Hans ftokus' squad is ranked 13th in the State in Class A and ended its regular season with a 13-2 record. The Hurricanes finished third at Sectionals last season to advance to state. Johhsburg failed to qualify its team at the Burlington District, although coach Bob Texidor is advancing his top two runners in junior Jay Jackson and senior Mike Steck who both qualified as individuals. The Skyhawks finished fifth at Burlington with 135 points, 12 points behind the fourth and final qualifier. When healthy, Jackson has been Johnsburg's unquestioned leader. Steck, considered by Texidor to be the team'a hardest wonMrv has usually finished second for the Skyhawks all season. At the District meet, Jackson finished fourth while Steck was close behind finishing sixth. Qualifying teams and individuals from Saturday's Sectional will advance to the State meet to be held on Saturday, Nov. 14. PORT LATE a calendar of upcoming events If Johnsburg's volleyball team proved one thing Tuesday night, it was that they are not to be taken lightly/ After breezing through their own District last week and sweeping Richmond in the finale, the Skyhawks again made it look easy by eliminating Paw Paw in the first round of Sectional competition at Marian Central high school. Champions . of the Hiawatha District, the Bulldogs became the twelfth victim in the last 13 matches as Johnsburg swept them 15- 0, 15-4. The victory improved Marian Mary Stoner's Hurricanes won't advance to Super- sectionals like they did last year, but the battle they waged against a highly ranked Earlville squad could be described as nothing less than super. Marian played Earlville even for the first two sets, dropping the opener 16-14, but then rallying to win the second set 15-13. In the deciding third set, the ex perience of the 20-2 Red Raiders came out as they won surprisingly easy 15-4. The Hurricanes took a 3-0 lead in the first set behind the serving of Debbie Liggett and the strength of a Holly Ryan spike, first-year coach Kathy Bull's record to 17-7, while Paw Paw finished at 11-9. The Skyhawks will now take on the Red Raiders of Earlville Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. for the cham pionship. In the second match Tuesday night, Earlville eliminated Marian Central in a grueling three set match to improve its record to 20-2. Champions of the Little 10 conference, the Red Raiders won the Leland District to advance to Sectionals. In the first set against Paw Paw, Johnsburg sophomore Theresa Hauck failed on her opening serve, turning the ball over to the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs, however, also failed on their first serve on the evening and turned the ball back over to the Skyhawks and Patti Haag. The senior member smashed 15 straight line drive serves to put a quick end to the first set. Team mate Cheri Kofler aided the cause with five kill spikes during the rout. The Skyhawks started the second set on the right note as Hauck opening with an ace serve for a 1-0 lead. Paw Paw came back with three points for its only lead of the night. But then Diane Heard served three points herself, aided by a Norine O'Neill and another Kofler spike, to give Johnsburg a lead they would never relinquish. After the ball changed service twice, Sue Dehn served the Skyhawks t6 a 9-3 lead. O'Neill would add the tenth point, Paw Paw would answer with one, then Hauck would end the match as she started it, at the service line A late time out by the Bulldogs couldn't stop the Skyhawks' momentum as Hauck served for the final five points to boost Kathy Bull's team into the championship match After Earlville caught up to trail by one at 6-5, Sarah Traver gave Marian an U-5 lead. But the Red Raiders came back and tied the score at 13 all. Sophomore Kim Schuler then served for Marian's 14th point, but Earlville again came back with three points to win 16-14. In the second set, it was Marian's turn to come from behind. Earlville took an early 4-0 lead, then later jumped out to a n 11-2 lead and looked well on its way to victory. But Traver and Liggett changed the momentum in favor of the Hurricanes with kill spikes, and Jean Thompson made several desperation saves to get Marian back in the game. After Julie Nylander and Ryan served three points each, suddenly what earlier appeared to be a blowout, was a 13-10 game in favor of Earlville. Liggett got the serve back to Marian with another kill spike, and Beth Penza then finished up the comeback by serving for five points and a 15-13 Marian victory. But the Hurricanes never regained that momentum in the deciding third set Earlville jumped out to 9-2 lead and this time would not be denied as it coasted to its 15-4 win. Liggett, Traver, Ryan, and Chris Ferraro managed the final four points of the season in a losing cause for Marian. The Hurricanes finished the season with a 14-8 record which included another District championship to their credit. They won the Marengo District a week earlier by defeating Huntley in the finale in another comeback 13-15, 15-11, and 15-9. Marian also placed second in the Harvard Invitational and tied Johnsburg for second place in the SHARK conference.
