tady Hurricanes Use Accuracy To Edge Hawks PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 15.1982 BARB ANSELL JOHNSBURG -- The rivalry bet­ ween the Johnsburg Skyhawks and the Marian Hurricanes was very apparent as their girls' basketball teams went against each other Thursday night. It was a game where accurate passes and good shots were the key to th^ game and just the edge Marian needed to top the Skyhawks 41-34. Both Marian's Coach Don Penza and Johnsburg's Coach Nancy Fahey were pleased with their teams per­ formances. "I'm pleased with the team, they did a good job," said Penza. "The girls did show a polishing after our ga'ifte with Huntley Tuesday night and the result was a victory.". Coach Fahey was also satisfied by her team's efforts. "We did well, despite the loss. I was very happy with the team's last surge. We stayed with Marian all the way and that's an improvement over our game against Wauconda." The first qaurter was a low scoring quarter with both teams scoring only six points. Marian's Beth Penza and Holly Ryan each scored three points on a field goal and a two-shot free throw. While Johnsburg's Jane Pecucci had two field goals and Theresa Hauck added a bucket to tie the' Hurricanes. The 'Canes made use of several free thrgw opportunities and took ad­ vantage of the Skyhawks shooting hesitation to break the tie and move irrtO the lead. The 'Canes guard Nancy Walsh led Marian during the second quarter, scoring eight points, boosting tlfe half-time lead score to 19-14. ••Marian maintained its lead throughout the third quarter as Penza and Walsh each contributed four points to the 'Canes score, on several broken up Sky hawk passes. Johnsburg's Joan Pierce snatched a rebound out of the hands of Marian's Ryan to put the ball in for the field goal. Skyhawk Michele Swartzloff sank three out of tyur free-throws, pulling the 'Ha^vk§/within six points, making the third quarter score 27-21. Missed free-throws hurt the Skyhawks in the fourth quarter. The 'Hawks connected on three out of seven shots, while the 'Canes Walsh shot six out of 10 free-throws and Ryan added three field goals for the Hurricanes. The Skyhawks went into the last two minutes down 39-29 and battled back to tighten the gap. Their first break came on a stolen in-bounce pass which Cindy Guetzloff turned into a field goal. Pecucci's shot at the buzzer from thp top of the key brought the 'Hawks within seven at the close of fourth quarter. Penza says his team is finally beginning to pull together. "We are communicating as a group rather than five individuals." He said his offense has helped give the team new direction. "We executed well offensively. We met out passes, used the screen and rolled so we could get the ball inside." Fahey says the hesitation at the wing hurt the 'Hawks. "We will have to work on shooting the ball, especially at the wing. We took too long to put the ball up and you can't win unless you shoot the ball." Marian will travel to Lombard to take on the Montini Mustangs tonight. Johnsburg will go up agianst Antioch Tuesday night at Antioch. (Continued from page 6) "The records are starting to im­ prove," said Sobczak. The three wins the Dundee wrestlers earned were big ones.

However, being a non-conference game, Wirtz let all of the girls play for practice and experience. Wauconda, meanwhile, went out to win, leaving their starters in for most of the game. Along with a 17 percent shooting average, turnovers were a major problem for the team. Thirty tur­ novers were committed by the lady Warriors. Wirtz had the girls work on the fast-break offense and that ac­ counted for the majority of the tur­ novers. Against a tight and experience Bulldog defense, the results were poor, but the experience was better than a week of practice. To fully appreciate the worth of this game, realize that McHenry played Wauconda even in the second half and outscored them in the final quarter. "They will concentrate on taking the ball to the hoop more often when the opportunity is there. They have to do a better job getting the ball in to the middle and they will," said Wirtz. "They (his team) hustled. They never gave up," said Wirtz. Midway through the second quarter, Wirtz had already used two teams and all of his players. Defen­ sive skills were' also worked on, switching from a full court press to a 1-2-2. Again the results began to show in the second half as Wauconda scored only six points in the last period, compared to twelve and eleven in t^ first two quarters. The girls continued to play well together as they pulled down an incredible 55 rebounds. The game opened with Wauconda scoring first at the 2:55 mark and quickly building a 6-0 lead. At 4:25, a free throw by Karen Karpavicius broke the ice for McHenry. Two quick turnover baskets gave Wauconda a 10- 3 bulge. At quarters end, the score was 12-3. The second quarter was more of the same with the Bulldog's building a 23- 9 lead. Only the shooting of Kar­ pavicius prevented a complete route as she scored the first seven points for the Warriors. The second half was a whole new game with Wauconda outscoring^ McHenry by only one point, 16-15>i Except the problem of "cold' . shooting." things began to fall in ' place. v' Karpavicius contributed another-' five points for a team high of 12. Terri Blume added six more, along with Sara Prust, Renee Mezzano and • Debbie Koerber adding two a piece. ; Balance against the 17 percent field-'; goal average, was a 56 percent free * throw figure. Turnovers decreased * and speed increased. The defense tightened and Koerber led the field with 12 rebounds, followed by Karpavicius with nine and Blume and Prust with seven each. Every player picked up at least three each. Hurricanes Lose To Hot Shooting Montini Broncos JACK MCCARTHY SHAW MCOtA MWS snvici WOODSTOCK - Marian Central's Hans Rokus sounded encouraged Friday night after watching his feisty Hurricanes refuse to fold in the face of a furious Montini attack. The Hurricanes did drop a 73-65 decision to the visitors, but what made Rokus pleased was the comeback his squad made after the Broncos pulled ahead by 25 points. "They played real hard and showed a lot of desire and intensity," he said. "It could have been blow-out time (when Montini's lead reached the quarter-century mark). "They could've just quit. I'm real pleased with them." Marian's varsity had to contend with the hot hand of Kevin Harvey, who blistered the net with 12 field goals, including six in the first quarter. Overall, Montini hit between 70-80 percent of their shots in the first half, according to Rokus. "They (the Broncos) are probably one of the best shooting ball clubs I've ever seen." Montine led 19-17 at the end of the first quarter and pulled ahead to a 41- 25 advantage by half-time.The Broncos then blasted to their biggest lead of the night early in the period before the Hurricanes started their comeback. Marian narrowed the margin to 54-41 entering the fourth quarter and closed the margin to eight points on several occasions in the final period. The Bronco's Harvey led all scorers with 26 points,followed by teammate Jim Jelinek with 20. Ed Kennedy paced the 'Canes with 19 poinf« and Tim Truckenbrod added 15. The loss dropped Marian's season rec to 1-4, while Montini improved 3-4. The Hurricanes travel to Huntley Tuesday and then meet Marengo on the road this Friday. In other Friday games involving West Suburban Catholic teams, Benet blasted Driscoll 80-42 and Immaculate Conception stopped Elgin-St. Edward 47-38. In a non-league contest Saturday, Immaculate Conception! romped past Palatine 53-36.

The McHenry County College Fighting Scots began their home opener with plenty of excitement as they took on the Kishwaukee Com­ munity College Cougars. The game went right down to the final shot, which resulted in a heart breaking loss for the Scots 69-67. The Scots were able to take a slight edge early in the game with a 12-6 lead, but it was a lead that did not last long. The Cougars began to press the Scots' wings and force MCC to turn the ball over to the Cougars. The Scots shaken by the continuous turnovers, began to have trouble penetrating half-court. Yet with as many break away shots the Cougars were given, they missed many easy lay-ups. The half-time score, however, did reflect the closeness of the game as Kish­ waukee pulled ahead 40-33. "It's impossible to win on 35 tur­ novers," said Coach Bruce Harbecke. "Especially when 20 of them occur in the first half." The second half of the game looked much the same as the first. The Scots still unable to shake the Cougars press, while the Cougars blew more than half of their free throw attempts connecting on only 11 out of 24 shots, which allowed MCC to tie the game at 51-51 with 10 minutes remianing. The score ping ponged back and forth during the final minutes of the game, when with 20 seconds remaining in the game, Ken Haldeman had his pass stolen by the Cougar's Wilson Martinez who took the ball down court and scored on the offensive rebound after missing his first shot, boosting the Cougars up >9- 67. The Scots with seven seconds left to go, moved the ball down court, where Dave Schachtner threw up the ball on a 12-foot baseline shot. The ball cir­ cled the rim and bounced out as the buzzer sounded giving the Cougars the win. Despite the loss, Harbecke felt his team showed improvement. "In spite of all the mishaps, we succeeded in out-hustling, out shooting and out- rebounding a much taller team." Harbecke says the Scots lack the confidence to win. "We must do more than keep up with our opponents. We need to develop a confidence and go out and put it into action on the court." ^ Harbecke says the team is playing far too cautiously. "We must' eliminate losing before we can win. But I am certain if we continue to improve we will be a team to contend with down the stretch." The Scots go on to face Sauk Valley at home next Saturday. Harbecke hopes that knowing Kishwaukeer defeated Saulk Valley by 40 points, it will be the catalyst the Scots need to 1 secure a healthy victory. 14 w. of 31 - crystal Ik., it 459-1631 REVCO DISCOUNT DRUG CENTER TM$ yar $m ot yow Christmas cheer!
