Win 300 fails to elude Ken" Ludwig/ A big tip of the fedora to coach Ken Ludwig of the McHenry Warriors. His Warriors presented him with his 300th coaching win of his career on Tuesday when they whipped Downers Grove North 69-41 in the Wheeling Holiday Tourney. Victories are not easy to come by in McHenry. In Ludwig's first season, the Warriors went 0-21. Probably any other --i coach would have packed up and lefMbut,^-*™^ mu, . ... the veteran mentor stuck it out. This wiU be a six team affair. On the Sidetin Dick Rabbitt While the Warriors have had some lean seasons under Ludwig, they have also had their winning seasons. Probably the greatest win of his career was on the night of March 12, 1976. His Warriors defeated Rockford Guilford and qualified for the Sweet 16. About the only goal the veteran coach has not reached is a conference championship for his Warriors. We hope that is the next milestone in his career. So in behalf of all Warrior fans we would like to extend out congratulations to Ken Ludwig and hope the next 300 wins come easier than the last 300. •••. Mike Shanahan's Water Warriors lost a dual meet to Woodstock last week. The Blue Streaks won 91-75, but the veteran coach was pleased with Terry Harth, Greg Hall and Craig Karcyznski and the 400-yard freestyle relay team. Harth captured the 200 and 500-yard freestyle, Hall won the 50 and 100-yard freestyle and Karcyznski won the 100-yard but­ terfly.
