The Warriors increased the lead to 13, 47-34 going into the final period. The Trojans came roaring back, with the Warriors not hitting the basket or boards. The Warriors only had three chairty tosses in the first five minutes and the Trojans were only behind 52-48 with 2:30 left. But Steve Babb and Mike Bauml got the Warriors back on track and captured their first win of the season. In reality, the Warriors won the -game at the free line and it has been some time when that has been done. Outscored from the field 21-20, the Warriors had 20 free throws to the Trojan 12. Bill Hermann with 14 and Randy Lively with 13 led the Warrior attack. BULLDOGS 58 WARRIORS 44 The Warriors played fairly well on defense, even though they lost by 14, but they were unable to put the ball in the basket, especially from close range. "We got to get some more sewing to go along with Lively," said Ludwig. "There will be a lot of hard work this week for the big Dundee team that will be here Friday night." Both teams traded baskets thoughout the first period, with the Warriors on the long end 12-11. In the second period the Bulldogs began to hit the close ones and they pulled out to a 31-23 halflime lead. With Bauml hand Hermann hitting the hoop, the Warriors narrowed the margin 38-33. In the final eight minutes, the Bulldogs again pulled away won an easy 58-44 decision. Randy Lively led the Warriors with 16 points. DICK RABBITT CARY -- Showing signs of brillance and despair the McHenry Warriors won their opening Fox Valley Conference game Friday night defeating Cary-Grove 60-54 at Cary. Saturday right the Warriors lost their opening home game to the Grant Bulldogs 58-44. When Warrior Coach Ken Ludwig mentioned last week of inconsistency, he wasn't kidding one bit. For a period of time they played like worldbeaters, then miscues, poor shooting aft^ rebounding, and all that was gained was almost lost. Randy Lively got the Warriors on the board seconds after the tip-off and the Warriors never fell behind the rest «f the game, although they gave the fans some anxious moments throughout the game. Using a half-court press that forced the Troians into many turnovers; and with all five starters, Lively, Babb, Bauml, Hermann and Peterson all getting into the score book, the Warriors raced out to a 22-11 lead at the end of the intial period. It looked at this time the game may be a blowout for the Warriors. However, the Trojans rallied and the Warriors settled down into a slow down game and at halftime the Warriors still managed a nine point lead 32-23. "We need the win and we got it," said Ludwig. "Our press was working then we got in foul trouble and I had to call it off. Cary had 32 turnovers and we only won by six. The game should have been settled early in the second period, but again we are inconsistent."

The McHenry Plaindealer possessions and were charged with a- shooting foul which sent Wauconda'S tp fiw^ ijjro free-throw shots. -Jeff Fowler kept* Johnsburg on the Bulldogs heels with] two baseline buckets, with an assist by Jeff Preston. Wauconda, however, closed out the first quarter with a 19-11 lead. The Skyhawks responded during the second quarter by beating Wauconda on the boards. The Skyhawks played aggressively to snatch 11 rebounds, while Wauconda was able to bring down only five defensive rebounds. This advantage and the excellent free- throw shooting of forward John Wharton who sank four buckets allowed the Skyhawks to close the gap on the Bulldogs, slimming the lead to just four points, 34-30. "Johnsburg has a good ball club and Coach Beck works the team well. I was glad to get the win," said Wauconda coach, Rob Judson. "We squeaked by them three times last year and tonight's game was another squeaker." The Skyhawks regrouped during the third quarter and literally put a lid on the Bulldog's shooting. While Skyhawk Tom Meehan, Preston and Fowler each sank two field goals and. Fowler added two free-throws, the; Bulldogs were unable to sink more than three baskets. All three of Wauconda's successful shots came with less than three minutes remaining in the quarter. Johnsburg again led in rebounding and worked the ball into the hoop with patience and accuracy. Their efforts were rewareded with their first lead of 44-40 at the end of the third quarter. It was a tense fourth quarter as fouls, free throws and turnovers played a crucial role- in the final outcome. Both team's sent each other to the free throw line, however, this cost Johnsburg two key players when Wharton and Preston both fouled out and gave Wauconda several three point play opportunities. Wauconda chipped away at the Skyhawk lead throughout much of the fourth quarter. With less than two minutes remaining in the game, Wauconda's Morris fed a pass into Joe Yacono for a basket and connected on the extra point free throw to tie the game at 52-52. Wauconda capped the win by sinking seven out of 11 charity tosses in the final minute of the game. BARBANSELL Marian Central Thanksgiving tour­ nament, the Johnsburg Skyhawks had much less success opening the con­ ference season. The Skyhawks were defeated Friday night in the final minutes by the Wauconda Bulldogs 60- 54. Johnsburg fell to the Grayslake Rams Saturday night 58-49. The Skyhawks are now 3-2 overall and 0-2 in the Northwest Suburban Con­ ference. Jeff Fowler led the Skyhawk attack against Grayslake with 16 points and Jeff preston scored 12. The Rams jumped off to a 8-2 start and never BARB ANSELL MORRANINE VALLEY -- The McHenry County College Fighting Scots began their basketball season Saturday night on the road and were handed a pounding by the Morranine Valley Morradors who downed the Scots 102-62. "We did a lot of things right, but we have a long way to go," said MCC. Coach Bruce Harbecke. "We held our own against their 6-2, 6-4, 6-5 and 6-6 starters, especially on the boards." The Morradors quickly took com­ mand of the game in the first half. They built up an early lead which carried them through to the end of the half. Dave Schachtner did his best to keep MCC in the game swishing several shots from the top of the key adding eight points during the first half. Morraine Valley had a sound 46- 23 lead by halftime. The second half was a repeat of the first half. Sloppy passes, poor shooting and fouls contributed to the downfall of the Scots and the padding of the Morradors score. MCC com­ mitted 11 turnovers in the second half, while Morraine curtailed their mistakes to five. Morraine took ad­ vantage of several steals, which turned into three point plays. "We made a good deal of first game (Continued on page 7) Skyhawk Frosh Tourney The fifth annual Johnsburg Skyhawk Freshmen Basketball Tourney will be held Dec. 13, 15 and 16 at the Johnsburg gym.

The closest the Skyhawks ever came to the Rams was four points. Turnovers seemed to be the key. Johnsburg had 19 turnovers compared with 10 for Grayslake. "We will definety have to work on our late game defense," said John­ sburg coach Ben Beck- "We had two key problems areas, we stopped looking at the basket and we dtidn't make the free throws towards the end of the game that we needed," added Beck. The Bulldogs took charge of the game with the start of the first quarter.
