STAFF PHOTO -- WAYNE GAYLORD MIKE LAMB Earlier in the season the McHenry Warriors had sights on first or second in the Fox Valley Conference, but after Tuesday night, the Warriors might be lucky to finish in third place. The Warriors suffered their fourth loss in the FVC to Crystal Lake Central 72-69. The Tigers are now right behind the Warriors only one game back at 6-5. The Warriors are now 7-4 in the FVC and 9-11 overall. "We threw that one away," said Warrior coach. Ken Ludwig. "We could have been 10-10 tonight, now we are at 9-11. We are always struggling -- always doing it the hard way. We always have to make it difficult." The last two games have been uneasy for the Warriors. Last Friday night, the Warriors narrowly squeaked by Woodstock 67-66. Tuesday, the Warriors held the lead through the whole game, but Central kept on badgering the whole game, finally taking charge in the last two minutes of the game. The Warriors started the game sizzling. Before Central knev what hit them, the Warriors were up 10-2. The Tigers took a timeout and cameback with an offense. The Warriors did hold a 16-8 lead, shooting eight of nine field goals. The Warriors finished the first quarter with a 24-16 lead and hitting on 12 of 16 fieldgoals for 75 percent. Steve Babb, who hasn't been a big scorer all season, riddled the Central defense with 10 points. "Babb started out hot," said * Ludwig. "He is just inconsistent. But he is trying to score. When he does score it helps us." The Warriors continued with the hot shooting in the second quarter, but Central stayed right behind them. The Tigers did manage to close the gap and get within four once, 34-30, but the Warriors pulled up again and took a 42-33 lead into halftime. Ludwig pointed the the first half as the major part of the ballgame. "We lost the ballgame in the first half. We missed to easy layups right at the end of the first half. We beat ourselves. "They shot the eyes out of the basket, just like we did. They also got a lot of second shots. If you don't hustle after the ball, you're going to get beat. "There was a lot of good shooting out there, but somebody has to play defense." The Warriors managed to build up their lead to its biggest at 50-39 during the third quarter. But, the Tigers continued to badger closer and closer again and when the quarter ended, the lead was only three, 54-51. Tom Ormsby and Rusty Beck led the charge to erase the Warrior lead. Ormsby led Tiger scoring with 22 points and Beck scored 18. At this point, Warrior shooting cooled considerably, so the Warrior offense geared itself towards Mark Peterson in the inside. He began the final quarter with a driving layup to give the Warriors a 56-51 lead. Another inside move by Peterson gave the Warriors a 60-51 lead with 6:18 left. But Central hung in there, despite the success of Peterson inside. The senior center scored 10 points in the quarter to finish with 18 for the evening. "We always want to go inside," said Ludwig on Peterson. "Our kids know you have to have an inside game. The outside kids have to have confidence in the inside game." The tide started to change with about three minutes to go in the game. Beck hit a free throw for the Tigers and cashed in on two more free ones when Randy Lively was called for a charging foul. It was his fifth foul and he had to leave the game. That, ac- • cording to Ludwig was another key factor. "Without Randy Lively, we are hurting. We don't have the set guard." Another factor could have been free throws. The Warriors only received four free chances, two in the fourth quarter. They did manage to hit on three of the four. Central, however, had 25 chances and made 16 of them. jh^SBleS\ turned on the Warriors from the Woodstock game when the free throw stats aided them. The Tigers took the lead on two free throws by Ormsby, but Bill Herrmann came back for the Warriors with two points for the lead. With 1:11, Corky Card hit on two free throws and Central had the lead again, this time for good. The Warriors took a timeout, but came back out only to have Peterson to foul Ormsby. The 6-foot-2 Tiger hit on one free throw and the Central had a 71-69 lead with leass than 20 seconds left. The game was iced when Herr­ mann fouled Beck with 13 seconds left. That was Herrmann's fifth foul and Beck made one of the two free throws. The Warriors did have plenty of time to score and took several shot at the basket, but none would fall in for them. r •• Babb was the second leading scorer for the Warriors with 15 points and Randy Lively scored 12.

'Hawks Using Powerlifting To Flex Muscles In NWSC This is part one of a two part series dealing with off-season training of Johnsburg and McHenry High schools during the winter. Part one deals with Johnsburg's weightlifting program. MIKE LAMB t JOHNSBURG -- The heavy activity in the Johnsburg weightlifting room stops com­ pletely and all eyes are pasted on Jim Bentz laid back on the bench press ready to push up his all- time weight. Bentz already lifted 300 pounds and was now at­ tempting to lift 305 pounds. He took several deep breaths, grabbed the barbell with assistance from a friend, and with all his might, tried to push all 305 pounds into the air. A weighilifter attempts a lift on the bench press. A teammate is right there for assistance in case in has any trouble. i STAFF PHOTO --MIKE LAMB Football Coach Randy Oberembt was right there yelling out en- courgement. Bentz got it half up when he just ran out of energy and strength He failed, but there will be a next time. This scenerio is not unusual in the Johnsburg weightlifting program. Athletes, under the guidance of several coaches take advantage of the school's various weightlifting machines to get ready for their upcoming season. Most of participants are football players right now, but a sprinkle of other sports are represented each night -- even a couple girls. Oberembt has been stressing his powerlifting program to his potential football players for obvious reasons. "It's going to take a strength program to compete in the North­ west Suburban Conference in all sports," said Oberembt. "This will give us the advantage to compete. The upper class is doing a real good job and are heading in the right direction. It shows how badly our athletes want to suc­ ceed." According to Oberembt, Johnsburg athletes are progressively getting stronger. He used Bentz as an example. The fullback-linebacker last season, improved from to 200 to 240 pounds during the summer. During the winter season, Bentz improved to 300 pounds. Oberembt explained that the program involves a cycle method during a 12 week period. Each participant follows his progress with a chart. The program has been averaging about 32 weightlifters per day, according to Obermbt. They lift every other night. The weightlifting room isn't very large. It's just big enough to fit a bench press, a universal Safety is very important in the Johnsburg weightlifting program. One weightlifter is helped by a friend as he does arm curls with a barbell.

Last Friday, the sound of iron moving up and down, moaning and groaning was heard along with the music of Rawhide (Blues Brothers song). "This weightlifting program has put a lot of weight on me," said Bentz, who has put on 70 pounds on his body since his freshmen year. "I'm going to try 310 pounds next Friday. He says he would like to reach 375 by next football season. But, Bentz isn't the only m • , " > m mm - * Johnsburg football player to benefit from the weightlifting program. "Believe it or not, I protect that guy (pointing to Bentz)," said Phil Thennes, a Skyhawk lineman.
