BARBANSELL ROUND LAKE -- The Johnsburg Skyhawks had hopes of extending their newly started winning streak as they traveled to Round Lake, but before the first quarter came to an end it w^s obvious the Skyhawks could not hold the aggressive Panther rushers. The Panthers quickly halted the Skyhawks brief winning streak as they were trounced 34-14. A disappointed Skyhawk Coach Randy Oberembt was left with very little to say after the defeat. "We lost track of where we were at. We just didn't have it." The Panthers maintained possession of the ball nearly all of the first quarter. In fact, Round Lake only allowed the Skyhawks six offensive plays during the entire quarter. The Panthers scored on their first possession as running backs John Gulford and Mike Allen carried the ball 65 yards, with Gulford scoring the first touchdown and Allen carrying the ball for the successful two point conversion. The Skyhawks took over the ball, but were quickly charged with two offensive penalties which forced Skyhawk quarterback Jeff Jayko to pass the ball in attempts to gain the needed yardage. However, the pass on third down and 15 intended for Mike Hurckes was instead picked off by Guy Smith who returned the ball 13 yards. The interception gave the Panthers the opportunity to score once more, this time on Tom Magee's five yard pass to Bob Henry to build the Panther's lead to 14-0 by the end of the first quarter. The Skyhawk defense toughened during the second quarter as tackle Jim Bentz sacked the Panther's Galford for a 10-yard loss near the Johnsburg 11-yard line. The sack was followed by an offside penalty against Round Lake making it fourth down and 25 and a pass intended for Allen was knocked down by Johnsburg's Joe Majercik allowing the Skyhawks to take over on their own 26 yard line. The Skyhawks carried the ball down to the Panthers 12-yard line, but the fourth down pass to Tom Huemann was blocked by Panther Scott Brewer giving the Panther s the ball. Magee connected on a 50 yard pass to Henry after slipping thru Hurckes' hands which moved the ball deep into Skyhawk territory. With 36 seconds remaining in the half, Jerry Nichols tossed an 11-yard pass to Gregg Molidor for a touchdown increasing' the Panther's halftime lead to 20-0. ' The third quarter once again was dominated by the Panthers, while the Skyhawks displayed a performance similar to that of their first quarter. The Panthers capitalized on Skyhawk. penalties, fumbles and quarterback sacks and were able to score on a six yard run by Terry Cheeks. The extra point kick gave Round Lake a 27-0 advantage. Johnsburg managed a late fourth quarter rally and succeeded in putting points on the scoreboard. Jayko connected on two crucial passes, aq 11-yard toss to Hurckes and a 16-yard pass to Eric Bear, moving the ball within the Panther's five yard lineip Jayko threw a two yard pass to M.J. Anderson for their first touchdbwn, but the referees called Jayko's two point conversion pass to Bear a trap ball. Yet the Skyhawks did shatter Round Lake's dream of a shutout as Johnsburg made the score 27-6. Round Lake responded on their next possession by rushing the ball 62 yards with Gulford scoring their final touchdown, with the successful kick sending the Panthers well out of Johnsburg's reach with a 34-6 lead. However, the Skyhawks came to life again and took advantage of a holding penalty against Round Lake moving the team into scoring position. This time Bentz carried the ball in for the touchdown and the successful two point conversion pass to Hurckes allowed the Skyhawks to close out the game 34-14.
