Pearl St. / McHenry PAGE S - PLA1NDEALER - WEDNESDAY. MARCH 17.1*82 Marian Girls Capture Regional Championship Plaindealer\ WOODSTOCK - For the second straight year Marian Central's girls basketball team earned a trip to Sec­ tionals, and for the second straight year Jackie Weber was chiefly responsible for getting them there Weber, a senior first team All-SHARK conference guard, scored 23 points and orchestrated the Hurricane offense to a 38-26 victory over Richmond-Burton in the Class A Regional final Thursday night at Marian. The victory earned the Hurricanes, 13-7, a berth in the Hampshire Sectional on Monday where they will play a rematch against Yorkville at 6:30 p.m. It was the Foxes that eliminated the Canes in Sectional play last year In the Richmond game, Tiffani King got the visiting Rockets off to a fast start with a field goal and a free throw for an early 3-2 lead But Marian's tenacious man-to-man defense shutout Richmond for the rest of the quarter, while its own of­ fense came to life Holly Ryan connected from the corner for a 4-3 lead. Debbie Liggett added a field goal, and Weber added two including a 16-footer at the buzzer to give the Hurricanes a momentous 10- 3 lead at the end of one But in the second quarter, the momentum quickly changed as Marian became its own worst enemy. Numerous fouls put the Rockets into the bonus situation in the first minute of play, and at the6:12 mark, Liggett, was confined to the bench with her third per­ sonal The second team All- SHARK forward sat the remainder of the half With Marian committing 13 fouls in the first half to only five for Richmond, the visitors eventually caught up and went ahead by scoring at the free throw line Sophomore Julie Moore, who burned Johnsburg in the Regional semi-finals with 21 points, scored six in the quarter including 4-of-4 free throws as the Rockets outscored the Hurricanes 16- 6 and took a 19-16 lead at intermission. But while Marian struggled in the quarter and fell behind, it was perhaps Weber's free throw off a Richmond technical foul that gave the home team a ray of hope. The Rockets had failed to come out of their zone to atack the 'Canes stalling half court tactics and were assessed the technical. Weber's ensuing shot bounced twice off the rim then settled comfortably throught the net bringing the crowd to life. "We knew that we had a lot of fouls in the first half, but yet we were still in the ballgame," said Marian coach Mary Stoner. "We told the girls at halftime that they still hd to play hard and that they could still do it. "We also knew that for us to win we would have to pressure their guards," she added And in the second half, that's just what the 'Canes did While both teams were guilty of committing several turnovers, Marian played defense without fouling the Richmond players. The Hurricanes played such tight defense in the third quarter that only Moore's basket at the 4:22 mark averted the Rockets from being shutout. The 'Canes committed no fouls in the third period. Weber, meanwhile, continued to hold the hot hand as she scored all eight Marian points in the quarter to give the hosts a 24-21 lead after three. The Hurricanes went into a four corner stall offense in the fourth quarter as the clock slowly ran out on the Rockets. King fouled out early in the fourth quarter which put Marian at the bonus for the remainder of the game. With Weber and Nancy Walsh each netting a pair of free throws in the period, the Rockets never got within four points as the 'Canes slowly wrapped the game up Walsh folowed Weber in scoring for Marian with six points, and Ryan added five. Although not scoring in the contest, Beth Lango played an invaluable role in the win by dominating the back­ boards and holding Moore to a mere 11 points. Moore was the only player to connect for double figures for Richmond, which ended a fine season at 22-4. "You have to give them (Richmond) a lot of credit," concluded Stoner. "They're a fine team and very well coached."

Harvard led most of the first quarter, but a pair of Walsh field goals and two Liggett free throws propelled Marian to a 13-9 lead after one. The 'Canes were never headed after the first quarter. Harvard sliced the lead to three early in the second /quarter, but two Weber field goals and a Walsh charity toss extended Marian's lead to 20-12 with 2:17 remaining. The Hurricanes led 22-16 at intermission; Weber and Harvard's Julie Pollock exchanged baskets to open the third quarter, then the 'Canes took complete control of the game running off eight straight points for a 32-18 advantage with less than three minutes remaining. The Hornets sliced the lead to nine at the end of the quarter as Kelley Koch netted three free throws. Marian led 34-25 at the end of three In the fourth quarter, Harvard's all-conference players Lori Kramarczyk and Koch both fouled out as Marian padded its lead at the free throw line.

Richmond eliminated Johnsburg 61-45 in a semi­ final contest Wednesday night. The Rockets had beaten the Skyhawks 53-50 during the regular season, but this time the task was a bit easier "We looked like a different team out there than we usually do." said Johnsburg coach Sharal Koenigseder "We were hesitant in our play and we seemed to put too much pressure on our­ selves in this game." Richmond jumped out to an 8-1 lead in the first two minutes of play when Johnsburg was forced to call a timeout to regroup. Sue Dehn. the Skyhawks' senior scoring machine, got on the board with four field goals late in the quarter including two in the last minute as Johnsburg cut the Richmond lead to 15-11 at the end of one. The Skyhawks stayed close throughout the second quarter, twice cutting the Rocket lead to two points on Dehn and Cheri Kofler baskets, but they were never able to take the lead Tiffany King's long jumper at the buzzer gave Richmond a 28-23 halftime advantage and seemed to take the spark out of Johnsburg Early in the third quarter, the Skyhawks were ham­ pered by foul trouble as All- conference players Dehn and Kofler were both assessed their fourth per­ sonals. With sophomore center Julie Moore powering her way for six points in the quarter including a three- point play at 1:54, the Rockets opened up a 41-31 lead after three. The fourth quarter turned into a free throw shooting contest which Richmond also won making 10-of-13 while Johnsburg made 8-of- 12. With Dehn and Kofler both fouling out in the closing minutes, the Skyhawks ran out of offensive punch and soon ran out of time as their season closed with an 11-9 record. Moore paced the winning Rockets with 21 points while King followed with 16. Dehn, the SHARK con­ ference's co-Most Valuable Player, led all scorers with 24 points, while Janice Sch- mitt played perhaps her finest game with eight points. "Janice (Schmitt) was our most consistent player out there." said Koenigseder 'She scored her season high, led us in rebounds, and came up with a lot of steals."
