HIGH HURDLES? - Johnsburg's Terry Boyer (with ball) faked a shot and drew a foul from Northwest Academy's Claude Robinson. Robinson got caught up in the air and landed on top of Boyer in Tuesday night's game. The Elgin Defeats MCC 74-59 The McHenry Community College men's basketball team had hopes of extending its unbeaten streak to four games when they went up against Elgin Community College Tuesday night. The Spartans, however, were determined to break their tie with the Scots for first place in the Junior College Skyway conference won 74-59. The Scots looked strong on their home court as they opened up the first half of the game with a six-point lead as they forced Elgin to turn the ball over several times. But Elgin bounced back and concluded the half by taking a nine-point lead. The Scots appeared as though the tide was to change in the second half. The team pulled itself into its final lead of the game with just over 10 minutes left in the game. But MCC's lead did not last long. The Scots committed 21 fouls during the second half alone, allowing the Spartans to pick up 12 charity tosses and secure their first place standing in the conference. It was a rather low scoring night for many of the Scotsmen as the Spartans only permitted two of MCC's players to score in double figures Rick Peterson, coming off the bench following an ankle injury, was high scorer with 21 points and Chris Wadlington tallied 11 points. MCC had been on the rebound after seven straight losses and seemd to be emergin as a potential threat in the conference race winning three straight games to start their second season, and posting a 2-0 conference record. The team's first victory came on the road when it returned to Morton Grove Community College to take on the Panthers after being defeated by Niles College and - Elgin Community College in the Christmas tournament The first win on home court came when the Scots defeated Oakton Community College 77-74. The win against Oakton allowed the Scots to move into first place along with Elgin Community College, with both teams having identical 2-0 con­ ference records Although the Scots maintained a slight lead throughout much of the first half, early foul problems sent Oakton to the line to take a 32-30 halftime lead. MCC once again played a second half catch up game and won as Chris Wadlington's two shot free throw in the final seconds capped the Scot's second victory. Rick Peterson was game high scorer with 28 points, followed closely behind by Wadlington with 26 points. Coach Bruce Harbecke said this about the victories, "It's really helped the team to get in the winning column after seven straight losses. Early in the year we were beaten pretty badly and we are now beginning to turn the program around." Harbecke said he hopes that this year's program can be the start of a very successful new basketball program here at the college. Over the weekend, the Scots battled the Kish- waukee Cougars to bring home their third win in as many games defeating Kish- waukee 79-75, despite the loss of center Rick Peterson who twisted his ankle in the game against Oakton. Guards Chris Wadlington took command of the team scoring 27 points including the final two free throw shots giving the Scots final score a two-point lift. Also in double figures for the game were substitute center Dan Conway with 15 points, Dave Schachtner 14 points, and Jim Johnson 13 points * Presently the Scots have a 3-8 overall record and have dropped into second place in the conference with a 2-1 record.

STAFF PHOTO - WAYNE GAYLORD JOHNSBURG -The small, enthusiastic crowd that fought the elements to attend Johnsburg's basketball game Tuesday night got a bit more than its money's worth-it witnessed history being made. All 11 players on the rost scored for the Skyha\ including six in double figures as they broke a school scoring record by trouncing Northwest^ Military Academy 101-57.

The Skyhawks took ad­ vantage of seven Cadet personal fouls, however, and converted five of six free throw attempts for a 29-21 first quarter lead. Johnsburg dominated the second quarter by scoring IS unanswered points before Kelly again scored for NWMA with less than three minutes remaining.

"They were a real quick team," said Johnsburg coach Sharal Koenigseder. "We had trouble keeping up with them and their man-to- man defense gave us a lot of problems." Sue Dehn led Johnsburg (3-2) with 14 points. Johnsburg outpointed NWMA 28-12 for a 83-39 lead The Skyhawks maintained their ball-hawking zone defense and didn't allow any Cadet player more than one field goal, while again eight different players scored for the locals. Lewis scored 13 points in the fourth quarter to finish with a game high 29, but the attention of the crowd was directed at the scoreboard as Johnsburg surpassed the 90- point mark. Reserve guard Paul Metzger scored with just under two minutes remaining to make the score 92-52, then he scored seconds later on a baseline jumper to break the old record. But the crowd wanted more. Dan Williams then hit a 15-footer and with :35 remaining Jim Leon canned two free throws giving Johnsburg 98 points. With three seconds to play, Scott McClory was fouled and sank the first half of his bonus free throws. His second attempt missed, but Williams was there to tip in the missed shot at the buzzer to put Johnsburg over 100. Tom Pieper led the Skyhawks in scoring with 20 points, although he sat out most of the second half as his team built up a 40 point lead. Williams followed in the scoring parade with 15 points and others in double digits were Metzger 13, Jeff Fowler 12, and Jim Leon and Joe Meyers 10 each. Johnsburg also benefitted greatly at the free throw line by making 19 of 27 charity tosses. Of the Cadets' eight players, two fouled out and three others had four fouls each. Kelly was a one-man show for the Cadets as his 29 points represented the only total to reach double figures for the visitors. He also grabbed a game high eight rebounds.

On The Sidelines By Dick Rabbitf Even though losing to Fremd of Palatine last Saturday night, the McHenry Warriors of Ken Ludwig did salvage a victory over the weekend, defeating Crown in a Fox Valley game. The Warriors looked super the first half, but not being used to holding a large lead, or any lead, they faltered in the second half but still had enough left to emerge the victors. They are going to have their work cut out for them this weekend, however, hosting tonight the Dundee Cardunals of Paul Judson who have been sputtering this season and have been a great disappointment to their coach. Let's hope they continue on their ways tonight. Tomorrow night local fans are in for a real treat. The high stepping Libertyville Wildcats will come to town. The "Cats" of Max Sanders are one of the better teams in the Chicago area, even though they lost a couple of games at the Proviso West tourney. That tourney has overtaken Pontiac, as the class holiday tournament in Illinois, and losing a couple of games is no disgrace, when you think of the competition. Led by 6-10 Rich Stanfel, the Wildcats are simply awesome on the boards, and the Warriors will have to make every shot count, if they want to stay in the game. Should be a large crowd on hand as the Cats have a large following, and of course the Warriors have a faithful group that attends their games. Gary Collins, former Warrior sophomore coach, has his Gators rated in the top 20 in the Chicago area, and are currently ranked 22nd in the state polls. The Gators have ran off 14 straight wins after an opening game loss to Lake Zurich. Next Friday the Warriors jaunt down the road to take on the Gators in "Gator Alley". Bob Kies, former Skyhawk coach, has his Notre Dame Raiders of Quincy ranked 2nd this week in the Class A polls. They upset Providence-St. Mel last week 66-65. Congratulations to Mike Shanahan and his "Water Warriors" for their fine win over Elgin last week. With a small squad it is very difficult to win a dual meet, but the veteran coach and his small band of swimmers did the trick. Pat Wirtz and his "Lady Warriors" are finding the Fox Valley a lit tie rough these days. One of these days they are going to put it all together, and then watch out. f Tney seem to have the same trouble as the boys, they et behind, and it is hard to play catchup, especially in the ox Valley. We are hoping S.I.H. can make it over the weekend to one of the games. To Mrs. S.I.H. put a muzzle on him, or drag him away from the table, we miss you both at the games. With the Libertyville Wildcats coming to town tomorrow night, I thought it would be nice to relive a classic game played at the East campus firm during the 1963-64 season, when the Warriors behind "Butch" Meyer's 23 points led the Warriors to a come from behind win, that was as thrilling as the final score.
