During one of the preliminary matches, a little old man approached Hawk and stuck out his hand to shake. Hawk glared down, and calmly told him to do a physically impossible feat. • The match was typical of all- star wrestling. A lot of yelling, a lot of running around the ring. People say that most of the action is fake or set up, but one thing wasn't during that match. It came when one of the Road Warriors shoved the referee. That guy went flying and he Records corrected In last Wednesday's Plaindealer, three McHenry High School swimming records were reported as broken in a meet against Waukegan East and Crystal Lake Central. The records were indeed broken, but not by the •swimmers who were reported to have broken them. The correct record- breakers, and the right times, were: Tracy Hoffman, in the 200 meter freestyle, with a time of 2:06.80. Hoffman in the 500 meter fresstyle, 5:44.94. ' Mary Geske in the 100 meter breastroke, 1:19.26. . T h e P l a i n d e a l e r congratulates both girls. Area Soccer McHenry Area Soccer Federation Dramatic improvement on defense and in goal was evident during the third week of the McHenry Area Soccer Federation's fall soccer season. Ten of the 32 teams in the program recorded shutouts last Saturday, including six of the 14 teams in the - under-^M jtce division. In addition, eight teams in the program held the opposition to just one goal. Still, there were some in­ dividuals who sparkled on of­ fense - headed by Ivan Cvitkovic and Brett Gutekunst. Cvitkovic scored four goals for the Gold team in the under-16 age division and Gutekunst netted a three-goal "hat trick" for the Maroon team in the under-8 age division.

Fox Valley Obtaining practice facilities has been very challenging for the White Lightning team this season. Johnsburg Community Club has offered the team the use of its field and future necessary support. On Sept. 20, the new field was tried out by playing the Montini Mustangs. Afterv a long hard game, the victory belonged to the White Lightning. The game against Cary, scheduled for Sept. 22, was called off: The team's next contest will be tomorrow at 4:30 at Barrington High School. wasn't expecting it all. The Road Warriors. were disqualified for that indiscretion and stalked out of the Horizon not very happy cowboys. THERE WERE SOME OTHER wild action during the evening's bouts. The best match of the night was the special six- man tag-team match that hfed the Fabulous Ones - Stan Lane and Steve Keirn - with Black Jack Lanza, against Nick Bock- winkel, Mr. Saito and Bobby Heenan. It was fun. It was crazy. It turned out to be a "weasel" hunt where one member of the losing team, picked by the crowd, had to put on a weasel suit. The winner was Heenan, who never deserved it more. He is a weasel. The happenings at the Horizon showed a lot of things. It showed what the other half did for en­ tertainment because they certainly weren't the opera-type of crowd. The crowd of 5-6,000 people were mostly male, but there were a few fantastic females scattered in there. AND, OF COURSE, THERE were the little old ladies yelling out abuse that shamed their male counterparts. One older woman, around 80, spent the entire evening waving a certain finger at the wrestlers. The action also showed that those fake guys were fairly decent athletes. Sure, most of the action was fake, but to fly through the air, land on the mat in a certain way and not get hurt, does take some skill. And some of those guys are getting on in years. They'll be on channel 26 in 1994. "We're entertainment," said Steve Olsonoski, a seven-year veteran of the wrestling scene. "We're competing with the sports dollar and, basically, we have to do what the promoter tells us. It is almost getting to the point were gymnastics is the most important thing. But we're here to entertain, that's all." That's exactly what they did. Entertainment by the wrestlers and the crowd. Some of the spectators spent more time watching the people next to them than the show. • One thing for certain, the world is in deep trouble if it thinks this stuff is for real. But it was something fun, and somethingDifferent. Real different.

I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW Irowght to you by Phil Ooffling Here's on interesting story about a member of pro footbali's Halt of Fame-Willie Brown...When Brown started in pro ball, nobody would have predicted he'd wind up in the Hall of Fame...In fact, when Brown graduated from college he wasn t even drafted by any team in the Naional Football League...Finolly he was signed as a free agent--but then was quickly released in training camp...At that point, it was doubtful he'd even play pro ball, let alone make the Hall of Fame.. .But, he kept trying and in 1963 the Denver Bron­ cos picked him up...He then played pro ball for 16 years and turned out to be one of the greatest defensive backs of all-time-and made the Hall of Famt in his first year of elegibility! * * * Here's a suprising fact...No college football team that's had the top passer in the country, based on the official NCAA passing statistics, has won the national championship of college football that year...For instance, the top passer last season was Steve Yowng of Brigham Young...The ttfp passer of 19B2 was Tom Ramsey of UCLA...The top passer in 19t1 and I9S0 was Jim Mc Mahon of Brigham Young...The top passei- in 1979 was Turk Schonert of Stanford--and none of those teams was national champs...And so it has gone evegy year. I bet you didn't know...that now is the best time for home improvemen­ ts. And now's the best time to see Keith Leathers.

Skyhawks nipped by undefeated Wauconda WAUCONDA -- It was the best match Johnsburg High School's girls' volleyball team has played all year, Skyhawk TfflE?thefoughest match Undefeated Wauconda has played all year, the Bulldog coach told Johnson. The bad thing is, it wasn't enough. "No doubt that's the best we've played this season," Johnson said after her team dropped a grueling 17-19, 17-15, 14-16 match to undefeated Wauconda in a Northwest Suburban Conference battle Tuesday. "It ruined all our chances of becoming conference champs," Johnson admitted. "We knew we would have to win them all to do it. Now about the best we can hope for is a possible tie for second." JOHNSON'S FIGURING IS MADE possible by a look at the leaders, and the rest of the NWSC schedule. Johnsburg has six conference games remaining. The Skyhawks are 6- 4 overall, 3-3 in the conference. Wauconda is 10-0, 6-0. "Wauconda's only real possible chances to lose are to Grayslake and Lake Zurich, but I don't think that will happen." Johnson said. The Skyhawk coach was upset with her team's loss to the tough Wauconda team. "We made some dumb ser­ ving errors. When we needed a big serve, the girls would miss them. It's very frustrating." she said. "They have the ability. That's not the problem. It's just psychological. As far as I can tell, it's a mind game. They psych themselves up to the point of psyching them^lves out, They worry SW^Tnuch, and concentrate so hard, and then they miss. It's a head game." WAUCONDA COULD FIELD ONLY seven players, and one starter sprained an ankle in the second game of the match, dropping the already smalt number to six. ; But Johnsburg was without the services of setter Deb Tvaroh, who injured her foot last week. Johnson said the Skyhawks miss the senior. "Patty Butler is subbing for her, and she's doing a good job. But she's not as experienced as Tvaroh," Johnson said. Skyhawk stars for the draining loss were Vicki DuBeau and Laura Oeffling. "Vicki did a great job blocking, and Laura had some good spikes," Johnson said. Johnsburg will have one more shot, possibly two, at Wauconda. "We play them in our last conference match of the season," Johnson said. "It's our parents' night. Last year, we were 13-0 going into the last match against them, and they beat us at their parents' night. We'll see if we can do the same ." Wauconda will also be entered in the McHpnry Regional, along with Johnsburg, McHenry, Woodstock, and Crystal Lake Central and South. The Skyhawks next match will be at Johnsburg Tuesday against Grayslake. Warriors win pair over GLC, Woodstock Komar, R-B Powers, M-C , PASSING Att. Comp.

By Dick Rabbitt Plaindealer sports writer McHenry High's cross­ country squad won a double dual meet last week against Crystal Lake Central and Woodstock, enabling the Warriors to extend their dual record to 23 straight wins. McHenry defeated Central "23- 33, and Woodstock 25-31.
