WOODSTOCK - John­ sburg knew it had two things to contend with , when it opened Regional com­ petition against SHAtlK conference Marengo Monday night. First the Skyhawks ex­ pected to see coach Bill Barry's 2-3 zone defense, and second the Skyhawks knew they would have to stop Dennis Hansen. i Hansen, a senior forward, had already burned John­ sburg foir 23 and 22 points in the two regular season meetings. Marengo also won both of those contests. Monday night, Hansen scored 23 points as the In­ dians made it three straight over the Skyhawks, this time by a 70-48 margin. The loss ended John­ sburg's first season under Ben Beck with a 6-19 record, while Marengo advanced with a 15-9 mark to the Regional semi-finals where it played Harvard. After an extremely tight first half, the Indians almost completely shut down the Skyhawk offense in the second half while running away with the victory. "We came out ready to play," said Beck. "We played the kind of ball in the first half that we wanted to. We moved the ball around well and our 15 and 17- footers were going in against their zone. "But in the second half we became tentative," Beck continued. "We didn't look to the basket and we weren't as aggressive as we needed to be. We just quit taking the game to them." In the first half, the Skyhawks had their offense clicking against the Indians' 2-3 zone although they managed to only lead once. Jeff Fowler's three-point play with 3:08 remaining in the first quarter gave Johnsburg a 7-6 advantage. But Marengo came back on a pair of Tony Wolf field goals and a jumper by Hansen right before the buzzer for a 16-12 first period lead. The Indians never trailed thereafter. Johnsburg outscored Marengo 23-20 in the second quarter to only trail by one, 36-35 at intermission. Tom Pieper scored eight points in the quarter including a 20- footer at the buzzer, and Joe Meyers tallied seven points himself as the Skyhawks gave the Indians all they could handle. But in the second half, the Indians went on the warpath scoring on seven of their first 10 attempts from the floor and never looking back. Two Johnsburg time outs failed to stop the Indians' momentum as they raced out to a 50-39 lead after three quarters. The Skyhawks only got two field goals in the period, one by Jim Leon at the half-way mark and another by Jeff Bartmann with 1:15 remaining. Johnsburg connected on only 2-of-12 shots from the floor in that period. Part of the reason for his team's poor shooting, reasoned Beck, was the play of reserve Bob Stuntz who came in for Wolf in the second half. "He (Stuntz) did an outstanding job against us," said Beck. "He really hurt us on the boards and he Mocked a lot of shots. His play took us away from our offense." In the fourth quarter, matters went from bad to worse for the Skyhawks as they missed all IS of their attempts from the floor. The only points that Johnsburg put on the board were the nine free throws in 12 at­ tempts. After scoring his 23 points, Hansen was taken out of the game with 3:39 remaining and the Indians ahead 63-39. Marengo went on to build up a 26-point lead at 2:08 remaining when Jerry Boxleitner's free throw made the score 68-40. With 1:36 left to play and the game hopelessly out of reach, Beck pulled Pieper and Bartmann, his two season-long scoring leaders out of the game. Pieper finished as John­ sburg's leading scorer with 12 points, while Meyers followed with 11. Bartmann led all rebounders in the contest with eight. Lane Samuelson followed Hansen in scoring witth 14 points, while Boxleitnar and Wolf also reached double figures with 13 and 10 points, respectively. After playing so well in the first half, Beck found the second 16 minutes of play to be a bitter ending for his senior ballplayers. "Jt'sa tough way to end up for these guys," he said. "Especially since they hid to get used to a new system and a new coach for their senior years. But they did the best that they could and they worked hard all year." Graduhting seniors in­ clude Pieper, Meyers, Bartmann, Dan Williams, Terry Boyer, and Mike Leon. "Next year we're going to have our work cut out for us when we join the North Suburban (conference)," said Beck. "For us, it'll be like jumping from a Class AA baseball team into the big leagues. The key to our success will be our off­ season workouts. We have a lot of work <hi and there will be a lot of spots open."

WOODSTOCK - During the regular season, Marian Central has made the most of its home field advantage winning eight out of nine contests. And now that the Hurricanes are hosting their own Class A Regional, the home fans continue to be treated to winning basket­ ball. Despite a nip-and-tuck first quarter in which the lead changed hands five times, Marian went on to dispose of Richmond-Burton handily 72-64 Tuesday night in opening round Regional competition. The Hurricanes displayed such an unselfish, well- balanced scoring attack that all five starters managed to score in double figures. When one of the Hurricanes scored after being freed for an open jumper, usually another was credited with the assist. The victory inproved Marian's overall record to 13-9, while Richmond ended its season with a 6-17 mark. Coach Hans Rokus' team will now play host to North Boone Thursday night at 7:30 in the Regional semi­ finals. The Vikings had little trouble with Winnetka-North Shore County Day winning 75-48 in their tournament opener Tuesday night. In the Richmond game, the Hurricanes fell behind three times in the first quarter before Scott Truckenbrod's basket with 0:45 remaining put them ahead to stay at 14-13. Before the quarter ended, Scott Spengel missed the front end of a bonus free throw, but Truckenbrod grabbed the rebound and scored before the buzzer to give Marian an 18-13 first quarter lead. In a fast-paced second quarter, in which play was interrupted by only five fouls and a Richmond timeout, Spengel netted eight of the Marian 22 points with a little help from his friends. Twice the senior center scored from long range jump shots, and his other scores came on layups with assists being credited to Truckenbrod and Mike Sabatka. Trading baskets, the Hurricanes maintained a seven-point lead through most of the second quarter. But Sabatka's two scores in the last minute before halftime extended Marian's lead to nine points at 40-31. Dave Otto, who finished as the game's leading scorer with 26 points, scored sue in the quarter to lead Rich­ mond while Brad Christiansen added four. Richmond sliced the Marian lead to four points at 45-41 in the third quarter on an Otto basket, but Truckenbrod and Dave Rickert each scored twice in the last three minutes to propell the Hurricanes to a 53-45 advantage at the end of three. Otto again did the most damage in the period scoring 10 of of the 14 points to keep the Rockets within striking distance. But the Hurricanes blew the game open in the fourth quarter with a fast break that the Rockets couldln't keep up with. Rickert's three-point play with 2:23 remaining in the contest gave Marian an 18- point lead at 72-54, for its biggest lead of',the night. 'With the game watl at. hand, Rokus began to pull his starters in the last two minutes. Although Otto colleoted six points in the last two minutes and the Marian reserves were held scoreless, Richmond still came up short by eight points, 72-64. Truckenbrod led the well- balanced scoring atack with 20 points, while Rickert followed with 17, Spengel had 12, Chuck Hartlieb had 11, and Sabatka added 10. Christiansen joined Otto in double figure scoring for the Rockets as he netted 12 points.
