KURT BEGALKA WOODSTOCK -- The new lights on the field were bright and so were the Marian Central Hurricanes' prospects during the first half of last Friday's football season opener at home against Crystal Lake South. Tied 64 with the Gators entering the third quarter, Marian suffered a power failure -- or rather got plain tired out -- as South claimed a 20-6 non-conference victory. For Gator head coach Bob Hight, it was his first season-opening victory in his five seasons at the South helm. "It's the first time I've ever done that," he said. The reasons for his squad's triumph were two-fold -- a reduction in second-half errors and more players to work with. "We out- personneled them," referring to South's larger squad. Many Marian varsity players remain on the field both for defense and offense -- a tiring arrangement. But Hurricanc coach D&i Penza' saw things differently. "It was a comedy of errors," Hurricane coach Don Penza said. "We made more mistakes tonight than we did all last season. It wasn't because they (players) weren't trying; in fact they tried too hard." The Gators took an early 6-0 lead on pass from quarterback Kevin Murphy to aid Dan Minogue, during their first possession, but kicker Bob Gerhard missed the extra point. Marian got on the scoreboard in the second quarter when the Hurricanes drove from their own 35 following runs by fullback Jeff Cychner and quar­ terback Chuck Hartlieb. At the Gator 40 yard line, fullback Andy Hartlieb broke through the middle and scampered to the end zone for a score. The extra point also was missed, and score stood at 64. Following a Hurricane sack, the Crystal Lake offense again came up empty. But the Gator defense later rose to the occasion and caused Marian fullback Dave Kubacki to fumble deep within its own territory. South recovered on its own 5 yard line. It was the turning point of the game. Early in the second half a Hartlieb pass was picked off by linebacker Clint Van Den Bos. It was one of four interceptions the Marian quarterback would throw. On its next possession the Hurricanes offense was marred by penalties. A completed pass to end Mike Borman was called back on a pass interference call. John Miceli made a reception, only to have it negated by 15 yard penalty for blocking below the waist. A delay of game penalty pushed Marian back inside its own 20 yard line. Hartlieb tried to get them out of the hole with a pass, which again was intercepted by Van Den Bos. Following a draw play by Gerhard and a quarterback bootleg, fullback Van Den Bos caught a 20-yard pass in the end zone. The kick was good and the Gators led 13-6. In the fourth quarter Marian seemed jinxed. Good defensive work by South's Chet Kopec and Kevin Rodgers hemmed in Hurricane runners who were beginning to tire. Marian defensemen Pete Sandall, Bob Wenzel and Gary Tonyan pressured Gator quarterback Murphy all night, but their offense could not get on track. Hartlieb was intercepted by defensive end Jim Dahl Hartlieb was intercepted by defensive end Jim Dahl and safety Jim Krausen, and penalties helped to move the game out of reach. Following passes from Murphy to Gerhard and Dahl, a pass interference call at the Marian 12 yard line led to the final touchdown of the game. Tailback Kopeck busted loose up the middle and Gerhard split the uprights to give South its 20-6 lead. Marian, now 0-1, hosts Johnsburg Friday while the Gators host Prairie View-Stevenson the same night. Scoreboard 0 * McHenry 32 Stevenson 14 M 15 243 83 326 .
