Back on November 20, the Skyhawks were beaten in their season opener 57-56 by Salem Central/ Last Tuesday, they were beaten 69-67 by the Hornets. Against Salem, Tom Pieper led Johnsburg with 22 points. Against Harvard, he was again high man with 24 points. « In both games, Johnsburg rallied to overcome large deficits in the fourth quarter only to lose at the buzzer. Against Salem, Pieper's last second jump shot from the left baseline bracketed off the rim leaving John sburg 0-1 for the year. Against Harvard, a similiar last second shot by Pieper from the right baseline again bracketed off the rim which would have sent the game into overtime had it gone in. \ But the Skyhawks were eliminated in the semi-finals of the consolation bracket, and were left pondering a 2- 10 record. It has been that kind of a season for first year coach Ben Beck. Half of his team's losses have been by four points or less. Johnsburg will hope to bounce back in 1982 begin ning the year by hosting Richmond-Burton Tuesday night, then travelling to Marengo on Friday, Jan. 8 for a 7:30 p.m. SHARK contest against the Indians.

The Skyhawks had trouble getting the ball inside of the Hornet zone defense, but the outside shooting of Pieper (four long bombs) kept them in the game. In the second quarter, Johnsburg continued to have its problems penetrating the Harvard zone defense. The Hornets outscored the Skyhawks ' 22-15 in the quarter and moved out to a 36-27 halftime lead. At one point, the Hornets opened up a 13-point lead. Kramarczyk and An derson continued to score from close range and led Harvard in the second period with eight and six points, respectively. Pieper duplicated his first quarter's production with four second period field goals giving him 16 of Johnsburg's 27 points. Forward Craig Carlson sparked the Hornets in the third period with five field goals and a perfect 2-for-2 from the free throw line for all 12 of his points. His steal off a Skyhawk inbound pass and ensueing layup as the third quarter buzzer sounded gave Har vard a 56-43 lead going into the final eight minutes of play. But in the final quarter, Johnsburg came alive. Sparked by the play of Pieper and Jeff Fowler, and reserves Jim Leon and Dan Williams, the Skyhawks outscored the Hornets 24-13 in the final eight minutes. With 1:30 remaining,3 Williams cut the lead to 67-59 with a pair of free throws. Fowler and Leon then netted field goals to put Johnsburg within four points with under one minute left to play.

'• Forced to foul to get the ball back, the Skyhawks handcuffed the wrong man when Pieper fouled Kramarczyk. The game's leading scorer with 28 points, Kramarczyk calmly sank both free throws to give the Chi-Christian 7- 9-10- 6-32 On Tuesday night the tables turned, however, as the Lady Warriors fell behind 14-4 at the end of the first quarter and never recovered losing 61-36 to the Forest View Falcons in the consolation semi-finals.

Forest View led 28-10 at halftime, and at the end of three quarters held a commanding 45-24 ad vantage. The Lady Warriors were also victimized by foul trouble in the contest and suffered the losses of Kar pavicius and Podpora who both fouled out in the second Fore&tview capitalized at Ski Clinics 0ff6red | Scoreboard The McHenry County Conservation District will be offering free beginner clinics for cross country skiing on Saturday mornings in January and February.
