McHenry zaps Johnsburg out of Grant softball regionals 8-2 By Mike Lamb Plaindealer sports editor * It has been over a month since McHenry and John­ sburg faced each other in a softball contest. Last Saturday, the Warriors found out the Skyhawks were not the same team they defeated 20-7. But, then again, McHenry isn't the same team either. The Skyhawks scored two quick runs in the first inning and held the lead for three innings, before the Warriors could get on track. The Warriors held on for a 8-2 win for its seventh straight win without a loss. More importantly, it moved the Warriors into the quarter­ finals of the Grant regionals against Lake Zurich. Lake Zurich had beaten Rich­ mond Saturday, 2-0. McHenry travels to Lake Zurich for a 4:30 contest. The Warriors finished Fox Valley play with a 16-6 win over Woodstock. The Warriors' final win leaves them 8-4 in the FVC for second place. Crystal Lake Central and Cary-Grove tied for the FVC title.

But neither Coach Gary Gray of McHenry, nor Dennis Spraetz of Johnsburg feel too disap­ pointed. Both young teams showed they could be the teams of the future by placing second and third in the eight team meet. Crystal Lake South practically cleaned house for state representatives with 28 points. Johnsburg finished second with 13, McHenry scored 11, Marian Central 8, Crystal Lake Central 6, Cary-Grove 4, Woodstock 4 and Marengo 4. McHenry's doubles team of Gary Strom and Randy Wiedemann joined Johnsburg's Paul Hendrixson in narrowly missing out on state qualifications. Both lost close matches in the state qualification round. Marian is sending one state qualifier in freshman Patrick Han. Han captured the singles title. "I sure would have liked to see the kids go to state," said Gray. "Everybody played very well. Nobody was going to state through the backdoor." Spraetz was also happy with his teams' play. "I was real surprised. I'm very pleased to finish second. We did much better here than in conference. Both coaches were especially happy with their third place finishers. Strom and Wiedemann, both juniors, blitzed through their first two matches, defeating John Edge and Wilttiun lailinski of Marengo (6-3, 6-3) and Steve Kunzweiller and Tim Krodel of Johnsburg (6-0,6-0). In the state qualification round, the Warrior pair lost in a tie-breaker to Mike Frothingham and Tim Dagley of Crystal Lake South. The South team won 6-3, 7-6, with the Warriors losing the tie-breaker 9-7. The Warriors came back to defeat Crystal Lake Central's Brian Johnson and Brad Bengston 7*5,6-0 for third place. Frothingham and Dagley ended up losing the title match to teammates Bill Buckles and Paul LeQoque. Johnsburg's Kunzweiller and Krodel won their first match before losing to the McHenry team. Hendrixson began the meet by defeating John Ladd of Marian and Lorenzo Brunetta of Marengo. He was defeated by Ed Foley in the state qualification round. Hendrixson did come back to defeat Scott McAuley of Crystal Lake South 6-4, 6-4 for third place. Foley lost to Han in the title match 6-1, 6-1. "Paul was unseeded and he knocked everybody off except for the top two seeds," Spraetz said. "I pushed to get him seeded. The break just didn't go his way/ He surprised a few people. He gave number two seed Ed Foley a run for his money."

Both teams will have to wait until Wednesday to find out their final recordsin the FVC. The reason - Tim Pankiewicz and lightning.
