On The Court: I Wildcats Win Tourney! PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALEE - FRIDAY. JANUARY is 11 McHenry Hosts Dundee, Also Libertyville The McHenry Warriors coached by Ken Ludwig will' return to the friendly con­ fines of Buckner gym this weekend to hoet a pair of basketball games • Dundee Friday night and Liber­ tyville on Saturday. The Warriors have played only two of their last 11 games at home, defeating Jacobs and losing to Crystal Lake Central. McHenry is 2- 3 in the Fox Valley con­ ference and stands 2-9 overall. Paul Judson will bring his Dundee Cardunals here Friday for another con­ ference tilt. The Cards are 1- 4 in the Fox Valley and 2-10 overall. Dundee has to be a . dissappointment to coach Judson thus far this season. With 6-6 Jtff Killough and 5- 10 guard Colin Kelly, the Dundee mentor thought he had the makings of an outstanding ballclub, but commented that the defense has not come around to his liking. Rounding out the starting five for Dundee are 6-3 Blair Johnson, guard Jay Paul, son of former St. Edward great Johnny Paul, and Craig Fielding. With a fine win over Crown last week, McHenry hopes to continue its good play in conference. The Warriors will have to sharpen up their defense against the big boys from Dundee, but the Cards' big men are foul prone and that may make the dif­ ference. LIBERTYVILLE HERE TOMORROW Tomorrow night Max Sanders will bring his big Libertyville Wildcats to town for a game with the Warriors. The Cats were ranked fifth in the Chicago area in pre-season polls, but fell out of favor with a couple of losses at the Proviso West Holiday Tournament. Libertyville boasts one of the state's tallest players in 6-10 senior Rich Stanfel, son of the Chicago Bear's line coach. Stanfel was named to several high school Ail- American teams last year in New Orleans and besides his scoring ability, has averaged about 20 rebounds per game. Getting the ball to the big fellow, Sanders has a couple of 6-4 forwards and a pair of guards both over six feet. The Warriors will really have their work cut out for them for tomorrow night, but local fans will have a chance to see one of the better teams in the area perform. Dick Rabbitt The Johnsburg junior high school Wildcats captured first place in the annual American Legion basketball tournament by defeating the Montini Mustangs 57-45 in the championship game on Saturday. The game pitted John- sburg's overall superior size against Montini's quickness, and in the end the Wildcats' size proved to be the dif­ ference. After an even-played first three quarters, the Wildcats pulled away in the fourth quarter as Bob Bentz and Tim Shine began to dominate the inside game. "I'm ver pleased to win the tournament," said Johnsburg coach Tom Pieper. "Our kids certainly deserved the victory. Montini is a well skilled hallrlub and hustled all the time. I congratulate them for their desire and effort." To reach the cham­ pionship game, Johnsburg defeated Parkland junior high school 36-16, while Montini edged out last year's champion Richmond junior high 37-33. Mike Toussaint scored 12 points and Bentz added eight in Johnsburg's win over Parkland. The Wildcat defense also allowed no Viking player to score more than three points. •» In Montini's win over Richmond, Ken Schweder scored 15 points and Bill Rabelhofer added 13 for the Mustangs. Paul Weber netted 19 points for the Rams. In the battle for third place, Parkland nipped Richmond 38-35. •y * v 4 3 ' 4 5 4 2 4 1 ' 2 a ^ * * 1| I I V % * * 0 * 4 3 * * 0 m \ i * 4 1 2 2 J r * i f | £ Gymnasts Head South Johnsburg Hosts Hononegah Johnsburg high school will go after its third win in four games in 1962 when it hosts Hononegah Friday night.

Hononegah sits at the bottom of Jbe SHAR conference with, a 04 recei but has a 5-7 overall mark. The Indians are coming off a 62-61 loss against Harvard last Friday. Tony and Jennifer Ladner of McHenry have found their work in gymnastics to be a most rewarding experience. Coaches at the Circle Gym Club at the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, the Ladners will take their five- girl team to Atlanta, Ga. this weekend for the Peach Tree Open hosted by the Atlanta School of gymnastics. This is the same school where Olympian Kathy Johnson trains as well as a host of gymnastic clubs from across the nation. Other competitors coming to the Peach Tree include Trafcey Talevara and Julie Ann McNamara, members of tf Olympic team that didn'f compete due to the boycott. Diane Durham, a 13-year- old from Gary, Ind., is Circle's main performer. Last year she captured the title of the number one junior elite gymnast in the United States and she regained the title this year in Reno, Nev. this past November. A new international rule states that a gymnast must be at least 15 years old to enter the World Games and Olympic competition. The only difference between junior and senior elite is the age Diane will be as she is a hopeful for the senior /division in the 1984 Olym­ pics. Diane has also been chosen as one of the 10 U.S. team members to travel to Japan for competition. The U.S.- women's gymnastics team will leave Jan. 26. Diane's other team members at Chicago include Janny Klepek (14, from Western Springs, 111.), Andrea Ziemba (12, from Lombard, 111.), and Jill Rigg (13) and Suzy Dickerhoff (11) from Munster, Ind. In team competition Nov. 28 the girls placed second in the Midwest Open held in Chicago. Diane won the first all-around and she, Janny, and Andrea all placed in the top six places in the finals. The competition came from 12 states and also Canada. Tony Ladner is a 1972 graduate of Western Illinois university where he was a gymnast all four years. As a senior he placed in the top 10 in the country in men's floor exercize. He has coached for eight years at various clubs throughout Illinois and has had several state cham­ pionship teams. Jennifer Ladner is a 1976 graduate of McHenry high school and has also worked with several dance theater companies, and is presently at Judith Svalander Dance.

Marian Hosts Marengo Marian Central Catholic high school will go after a share of first place in the SHARK conference when it hosts conference leader Marengo Friday night.

Their lone loss was at Johnsburg 56-52. Marian will also be trying to snap a two-game losing streak. The Hurricanes have been idle since January 5 when they lost at Elgin-St. Edward. Scott Truckenbrod, the team's leading scorer for most of the season, topped the Hurricanes in scoring that night with 20 points. For Marian to break its streak, there won't be a better place than at home where its record is 5-0. It's road record is 2-4.
