McHenry Cagers Lose At Cary Grove, Grant The Warriors of Ken Ludwig took it on the chin over the weekend, dropping games to Cary Grove 61-51 and Grant 66-48. In both games, the Warriors fell behind early in the contest and trying to play catch up ball was just too much for them. In the Fox Valley opener against the Trojans, McHenry dropped behind 14- 7 at the first period as Graznow, the Trojan for ward made five of seven shots from the field. Gary Freund's three points and Steve Babb's two baskets were the total of the Warrior points on the board. In the second period after Freund's 15-footer at the 7:45 mark, the Warriors hit a dry spell for three minutes. The Trojans, meanwhile, were able to connect on three baskets and took the momentum into halftime which they led at 30-19. In the third period, Babb found the range for three quick baskets in the first minute of play, and it looked as if the Warriors were coming back to life. Tur novers, however, took over and Cary Grove rallied for several unanswered baskets. The remainder of the period saw both teams trade baskets, but the Warriors still trailed 49-39 going into the final quarter. In the final eight minutes, both teams again traded baskets with the Warriors being unable to close the gap losing by 10 points. Mike Bauml led McHenry with 16 (Mints while Babb finished with 11 and Freund had 10. LOSE TO GRANT On Saturday night, the Warriors traveled to Grant where they dropped a non- conference game 66-48.

McHenry didn't score for the first 4:30 of the period as Grant led 7-0 at that time. Th second period was more of the same as the Bulldogs stretched their lead 19-5 before Randy Buenzli made a couple of charity tosses to break the ice for McHenry. The Warriors trailed 30-18 at halftime, and the third period was a disaster. McHenry was held scoreless for over four minuted before Bauml canned one from the corner. But at that time the game was out of reach as the Warriors trailed 40-20 with 3:30 remaining in the period. Freund and Dan Long ended the scoring for the Warriors as they trailed 50-26 at the quarter. With the game out of reach, Charlie "Wags" Wegener sparked the Warriors in the closing minutes.
