McHENRY-JOHNSBURG GAME schedule extra games. We can't cut off a deal with a team made year's in ad­ vance," said Schlender. "Right now it wouldn't be ad­ vantageous to both schools. A good, contract is advantageous to both par­ ties." Warrior basketball coach Ken Ludwig agreed with Schlender. "It's a no-win situation for us," said Ludwig. "We're a larger school then they are right now. If > Johnsburg's wins they have a lot to gain, i but if McHenry wins, there's nothing really to gain from it. If Johnsburg beats McHenry, its a big deal." Right now Ludwig wouldn't care to schedule Johnsburg for a regular season game. He would "wheii their (John­ sburg) size is more comparable to ours (McHenry) and there basketball program is more established." Ludwig's opposing coach Tuesday looks at it a different way. "I would like to have a game with McHenry," said Beck. "It would draw a great deal of interest in the community. It would create a lot of fan interest." A second question is how emotional is the game going to be? "The fans wUl probably be more up than the players. To the kids its a regional game. Both teams will be up for this first meeting. You gotta play to have a rivalry. The kids wilTbe pumped up a little," Beck said. "It's hard to sav." said Ludwis. "The idea of the two schools splitting and the first competition in vanity as far as basketball is concerned, it could be more emotional. The Johnsburg kids will be more emotional than our kids. In that point, they have an advantage over us." After so-so season's, both teams are looking towards the regional as a brand new season. A win over Jacobs Friday will give McHenry second (dace in the Fox Valley Conference, but a current 8- 13 overall record is hard to swallow. Johnsburg isn't in any better shape. With one Northwest Suburban Con­ ference game left, the best the Skyhawks can finish is sixth place. The Skyhawk overall record is little more respectable at 10-12. Both coaches, however, respect each others squads. "I haven't seen Johnsburg (day that much, but I know they are very scrappy. Very competitive and scrappy. That combination makes them tough to beat. No doubt about it." Beck feels both clubs are similiar. continued from page 16 "McHenry is like us in the aspect we have been up and down all season. It's going to depend which team shows up Tuesday," said Beck. "We have to Control tempo. We can't get into a horse race with them. It would be to their advantage. We're pretty even. It's a give and take situation. We're matched pretty even. We're similiar in styles." Beck also feels McHenry will have a big advantage playing on their own floor. "They are a good ballclub on their home floor. Anytime you play at home it's an advantage. It's the same floor you practice on and its the same baskets. You feel comfortable. We would love to be at home." Ludwig feels the winner of Tuesday's contest will have a very gopd chance at winning the regional. The winner of the game faces Cary-Grove on Wednesday before the finals. FVC champion Woodstock would have to be the favorite to be in those finals. "You never know what's going to happen. Woodstock took care of us the last three games with them, but if we get into the finals we have a shot at it. It's tough to beat a team four times. That's the way I feel about it."

WARRIOR continued from page 16 MCC COACH PRACTICES continued from page 16 player against three defensive players) and immediately shoot while screaming for the remainder of the players to rest and walk up court; he refuses to play a zone defense despite having only one player over 6- feet tall (even Bobby Knight broke down this season and played zone); he schedules his teams against a Milwaukee AAU team that batters most four-year schools into sub­ mission, and he supplies op­ posing coaches with game films of his team. "I tell the other coaches what defenses we play and what to expect from us," he said. "I'm trying to improve the quality of the game, not only for us but for the fans." 1 Ah, the fans - the 'sixth man' in basketball lingo. The home- court advantage has been known to mean as much as 10 points in a given game. But to have an advantage you need fan support, and you get fans by getting attention, and you get attention by winning games, and you win games by getting fan support... "Hey, we get 60 people in here for Sunday's game. That's a pretty good crowd for us," he said ever-so-optimistically. Sixty people, however, is not hanging-from-the-rafters time, but itfe twice the crowd of years gone by. Edwards is a tireless worker who balances the schedules of half-a-dozen people into a chaotic 24-hour day. He begins each day at 8 a.m. and attends to matters at his Crystal Lake Health Food Store before set­ tling out on the day's events that include his own team's prac­ tices, all the high school games he can manage, and MCC's contest. "If I could fit a few more things in my schedule, I would," he said. Yes, he would. Toussaint layed in a basket with four seconds left, but it came too late. Another foul put Jay Curtwright on the line and he made one free throw to ice the game. "Obviously we won the game in the first half." Tne jexyi and Hyde per­ formance by McHenry and Dundee-Crown was shown in the statistics. The rebounding was tied after the game at 23-23, but the Warriors were out- rebounded in the first half 17-7, but came back with a 17-7 ad­ vantage in the second half. McHenry only hit 43 percent in the first half, but shot 61 percent in the second half. Crown- Dundee shot 52 percent the first half and 47 percent the second half. "This was the best shooting night we ever had," said Lud­ wig, despite the loss. "But what terrible free throw shooting." McHenry made only 10-of-20 free throws, while the Chargers made ll-of-22. "This is one of the best games I seen us play. This was the most patient I seen them play." Probably the one person who killed McHenry the most was center Dan Schultz. Schultz did not play for the Chargers against McHenry in the first meeting. He was the main person who kept Dundee-Crown going when McHenry was making its move. He scored 14 of his game leading 20 points in the second half. WINTER HAPPENINGS AT: HOUSE 1984 DINNER THEATRE RUNNING THE WEEKENDS OF MARCH 9, 16,23 "CNAMPA6NE COMPLEX" DINNER/THEATRE PACKAGE: FRI.
