It was the Warriors second win of the season, both in the Fox Valley Conference. Dundee is 0-2 in the FVC. The smaller Warriors just had too much speed and finess for the tall crew of Paul Judson. The Warriors shot at 46 percent -- hitting on 26 of 57, while the Cards made 22 of 55 for 40 percent. Warrior Coach Ken Ludwig was a smiling fellow in the locker room after the game. "It was a well played high school basketball game. Each team had only 11 turnovers. Most of the team is playing with more con fidence," said Ludwig. Assistant Coach Terry Reilly added, "We worked hard all week on defense and it paid off." Indeed it did pay off. The Warriors completely baffled the taller Cards with their pressing defense, failing only to stop 5-foot-10 guard Colon. Kelly. He was the high scorer in the game with 23 points. "Ken did a fine job with those kids. They shot really well and deserved to win," added Dundee coach, Paul Judson. Kelly got the Cards on the board in the early seconds of the game and then Bill Hermann picked up five quick points for the Warriors and they were off and running up and down the court. With Peterson, Mike Bauml and Randy Lively also hitting the hoop, the Warriors jumped out to a 15-. 6 lead with 2:30 remaining in the period. The Cards rallied, but were still on the short end of a 21-16 margin as the period ended. At 5:24, Dundee grabbed a short 24- 23 lead, but Hermann canned a 10- footer and the Warriors were in front for the rest of the game. Late in the period, Cory Scott, who replaced Mark Peterson, began to find the hoop and his three quick baskets put the Warriors ahead 37-30 at intermission. The fans at the concession, stand were buzzing with the shooting of the Warriors during the first half. The Warriors shot just under 50 percent during the first 16 minutes of play. Livley and Hermann were the Warrior scorers during the third period as Livley picked up four and Hermann six as both teams pl&yed to a standstill and the Warriors led 47-40. During the period, the Warriors had a short lived 11 point lead 45-34. At 7:42 of the final period, Randy Livley had to leave the game with a badly sprained ankle. The young Warrior floor leader had trouble all week with the ankle and it just gave out on him. 1 Scott and Steve Babb got the Warriors back on track 51-44. But the Warriors hit a spell where poor shot selection and no rebounding let the Cards creep to within one, 51-50 at the 5:15 mark of the period. Gary Freund made a couple of charity tosses and Bauml and Scott canned 15-footers to put the Warriors up again 57-50. Freund made another free throw and Randy Buenzli with a three pointer put the game on ice. Freunds two free thows with just one second remaining sealed the Warriors vic tory. Herifcann had his finest night as a Warrior leading the Warrior attack with 17 points. Freund made some clutch free throws in the final period,. when the Warriors needed them to maintain -their lead. Babb and Peterson did a fine job of rebounding and guards Bauml and Liyely put pressure on the Dundee Cards bringing the ball up the court. Scott and Buenzli both came off the bench to put a spark in the sagging „ Warrior attack. Scott scored 16 and Buenzli four. Scott came back on Saturday morning to lead the junior varsity to a come from behind 63-59 win over the Cards, scoring 22 points and picking off numerous rebounds.

Well, just ask Coach Ben Beck and his Johnsburg Skyhawk basketball team. Better yet, ask Antioch's Phil Aschbacher. While the Johnsburg Skyhawks were having a difficult time finding the opening in the basketball hoop at the charity stripe with a 25 percent shooting average, Aschbacher and his Sequoi^ieammates shot jvell epough Northwest Suburban Cbnference and 3-3 overall. Antioch^oneanwhile, is 2-1 in the NWSC. The game was actually closer than the final score pointed out. The Skyhawks had tied the gam'e at 44 on a jump shot by guard Jeff Fowler with 2:15 left in the contest. But, some costly fouls by the Skyhawks gave Antioch six free chances at the basket -- making /ive. Leading the way for Antioch was A$chbacker who sank four free throws and one field goal in that eight point span. Antioch shot a respectable 66 percent from the free throw line. JWhen asked if he thought the free ttyrow shooting by both teams was the key to the ball game, Skyhawk Coach Ben Beck replied, "I think it is the ball game. We just didn't get it done. Our frjeethrow shooting had a little to be dBired. I'You have to be mentally tough the it two minutes. It's just a matter of ing care of the basketball in the two minutes. Skyhawks had as much trouble the first two minutes of the contest t in the last two minutes. Antioch iped off to a 7-0 lead. The height of } Sequoits seemed to have become a btor early. Antioch features Chris :ker at center at 6-foot-5 and Asch ner at forward at 6-foot-4. The Skyhawks quickly overcame that difference later in the game. "It's just a matter of getting in position and screening out," said Beck, "I thought we did a pretty good job of that." Antioch only out- rebounded the Skyhawks 31-"27. The Skyhawks came back to out score Antioch 12-6 and a rebound shot by Tom Meehan with 40 seconds left in the quarter gave Johnsburg the lead at 14-13. The lead was short lived as Aschbacher sank, to free throws to id atl ler si eight free throw attempts in the game. He was Antioch's high scorer with 19 points. . < Again, Antioch jumped off to a quick lead at 21-14 before Johnsburg responded. The Skyhawks charged back to 22-19, but Antioch held its slim three point lead throughout the quarter, the half ended 28-25 Antioch. The third quarter was the same scenario, with Antioch still holding the three point edge and going into the final quarter with a 38-35 lead. "I'm real pleased the way we played tonight," said Beck. "We played with the same intensity as we did in the Marian tournament. I'm pleased with the offense and defense. "The ball seemed to bounce funny. They had the superior height, but its still no excuse." Antioch scored the first basket of the third quarter and the Sequoits had their biggest lead of the second half at 40-35. But, Antioch couldn't shake off the Skyhawks. A basket by Fowler with 3:20 left in the game cut the Antio&_ margin to 42-39. It was a one point game at 42-41 as Jeff Fowler drilled in a basket from the top of the key. Becher responded Antioqh with a basket, but Fowler came right back with a basket of his own and the score was 44-43 with 2:15 left. Forward Jeff Wharton follow* with a free throw to tie the game at 44- 44 and less than two minutes to play. The momentum seemed to have flowed back to the Skyhawks when guard Joe Majercik picked up an Antioch loose ball in the Skyhawk backcourt. Pressure by the Sequoits, however, forced the six-footer to double dribble with 4? seconds left. Jeff Preston then fouled Tom An derson and the Antioch Forward converted one of two free throw at tempts and the Sequoits had the lead for good. Meehan led Skyhawk scoring with 12 points and Fowler had 10 points. Also in double scoring besides Aschbacher, was Anderson with 16 and Becker with 12 points. Only 12 turnovers were committed in the game. The Skyhawks led with eight turnovers. ******** Antioch also won the junior varsity game, 56-25.

Pressure created by the sophomores and freshmen will determine the amount of success the varsity squad will enjoy. This time sophomore Ray Lance was given the chance to wrestle with the big boys. He blanked his Dundee opponent, Jim Beelow, 7-0 in his first varsity match. His win helped the Warriors handily defeat the Dundee Cardunals 44-15 Friday. The Warriors are now 4-3 overall and 2-0 in the Fox Valley Conference. This was the last dual meet between the two schools because Dundee will be closed after the end of this school year. _ "Really otfr^siJccess has come from the lads from ...the derclass and there is a lot of shoving and pushing. We are looking good," said Sobczak. This time the Warriors filled out the weight classes and did not forfeit any of the matches, while Dundee suffered three forfeits. "Things kind of turned around. Dundee gave us 18 points, instead of us giving up the 18 points," said Sobczak. "The kids really wrestled well. This was probably the second best match of the season for us." Sobczak said he believes his team is just where it should be going into next week's match against rival Woodstock. This match is always a big one to win, but this year has special meaning because Sobzcak's son will be wrestling for the Blue Streaks.
