Pural led the Panthers with 18 points while McGee added 12 points and Terry Cheeks had 10. The Skyhawks were victimized by 39 turnovers in the contest, a key factor in the loss. "Against the 1-3-1 defense we had trouble moving the ball," said Johnsburg coach Ben Beck. "Our inability to get the ball inside and to move the ball resulted in a lot of turnovers." ~ Johnsburg was easily eliminated in the second round as well, losing to the Fenton Bisons 67-51. The Skyhawks trailed at one point by 33 points, but they fought their way back into the contest. "They (Fenton) showed us different defenses and that led to a lot of our break­ downs offensively," said Beck In the last game of the After stealing the ball at mid court, Johnsburg's Tom Pieper scores on an uncontested layup in Friday night's game against Fenton. The Skyhawks didn't get many easy ones during the Round Lake Tournament, however, as they were defeated in all three contests. STAFF PHOTO - WAYNE GAYLORD tournament, Johnsburg had its best shot at winning, but the Wauconda Bulldogs escaped with a one point victory, 58-57. The Skyhawks played well in the early going spearheaded by baskets by Bartmann and Meyers to take an early 13-8 lead. But the Bulldogs bounced back and took the lead by scoring 10 unanswered points for a 18-13 first quarter lead. Both teams netted 16 points in the second quarter and at halftime Wauconda led 34-29.

"Take two points and we, Warriors Open Season; Fall Twice At Sycamore The ' McHenry High Warriors for the first time in history came away from the King Horn tourney in Sycamore without a v" The Warriors lost opener to Sterling 70-45 an then in the consolation round dropped a 59-44 decision to Belvidere. Playing without the ser­ vices of two regulars, Aric Akins and Mike Burgdorf, who were both injured last week in practice and will be on crutches for the next month, the Warriors were unable to cope with the Sterling crew on Friday night. The gang from the Rock River valley grabbed an early 14-2 lead. Then McHenry spurted with seven straight points and things began to look up for the locals. But Sterling went ahead 16-9 at the end of the initial period. In the early minutes of the second period, Sterling ran off 11 unanswered points to grab a 27-9 lead before Bill Hermann cracked the scoring for the Warriors with two charity tosses. In the middle of the period, the Warriors again came back with Steve Babb hitting a free throw, Mike Bauml a field goal. Dan Long two more charity tosses along with Hermann's two free throws to narrow the gap to 32-21 Sterling at the 2:45 .mark of the period. Sterling, however, took arge from then on and led the intermission 40 to 23. In the third period the Warriors held their own with Sterling being outscored 13 to 12 and trailed 53 to 35 at the end of the period. The final quarter saw disaster strike the Warriors as they were able to only score 10 pts. to Sterling's 17, and went down to a 70-45 defeat. The Warriors seemed disorganized in the opener, and that could be the reason for the defeat. Without the services of players Akins and Burgdorf who had practiced with the regular group almost up until game day, playing two new players with the group, one would expect some disorganization. LOSE CONSOLATION TO BELIVIDERE In the Saturday early bird consolation game at 10:30 a.m., the Warriors dropped their second game of the season The Bucs of Belvidere jumped out to a 12- 6 lead at the quarter, and things looked really bad again for the Warriors. The second period saw the Warriors hold their own as Ken Ludwig's young and inexperienced Warriors fought the veteran Bucs basket for basket and trailed 20-14 at the intermission. In the third period Mark Frailey's Bucs salted the game away with a 19 point outburst to the Warriors 10, leading 39-25 going into the final frame. The final period was a wide open as both teams began to feel free and easy and throw the ball toward the hoop, each scoring 20 points but the Belvidere five hung in there for a 59-44 victory. In the Belvidere game the Warriors were out- rebounded 32-8, and the sad fact was they did not gather in an offensive rebound. You can't win games without offensive rebounds.
