Luck runs out on MCHS The winning streak is over. After breaking a 30-game losing streak last Saturday with a win over Crystal Lake South, the McHenry High School girls' basketball team was tattered by Crystal Lake Central Tuesday night, 47-17. "Well, we had a 2-0 lead," said McHenry coach Pat Wirtz. Central, which leads the Fox Valley Conference with an 11-0 record, rambled out to a 12-4 lead after a quarter, and extended it to 29-8athalftime. Central was led by Tania Bram- mer, who had a game-high 12 points. iVI'd say she's one of the best three players we've played against this year," Wirtz said. "She's certainly one of the best in the conference." The game was a physical one, Wirtz said: "There was a lot of slapping and pushing," he noted. "After the girls realized they (the officials) weren't going to call anything, they started to see what they could get away with. "But it was like two different games, this one and the South game. We had too many traveling calls, too many turnovers." The Warriors' leading scorer was Peg ChUvers, who had six. Moniquer Betancourt was next with four. The Tigers shot 47 percent from the floor (20-of-43), while McHenry was a chilly 20 percent (7-of-34). CLC outrebounded the Warriors 39-13. The McHenry sophomores won in overtime, 42-39, and the freshmen lost 28-24. McHenry will finish its season with three straight road games, beginning Thursday, when the Warriors played at Woodstock. Battles with Dundee-Crown and South will follow, before the regionals at Johnsburg March 11. Streaks, D-C meet for crown WOODSTOCK - It's the first , time in almost two full years . Gordie Tebo can honestly say his team is the underdog - maybe. Last season, his Woodstock High School basketball team was picked as the team to bear from start to finish. There was that pressure week in and week This year, the Streaks laid claim to the Fox Valley Con­ ference top spot early and have been in the FVC penthouse going on six weeks. And when you're top. 'But for the first time in nearly two years, Tebo said he thinks his team is a slight underdog. The Blue Streaks will travel to Carpentersville this Friday to b a t t l e D u n d e e - C r o w n ' s Chargers. On the line: the Fox Valley Conference cham­ pionship. "I think if you have to give the edge to either team, you have to give it to them," Tebo said. "They certainly have the momentum now. They've won eight or nine straight and they've won by big scores. We've won a few in a row, but they haven't been blowouts. It's no secret we've been struggling here and there." The Blue Streaky after losing to Crystal Lake Central three weeks ago, have stopped Crystal Lake South 67-46, Marian Central 90-65, and McHenry 48- 47 in overtime The teams are similar in height as D-C starts 6-foot-7 pivotman Dan Schultz to go along with 6-foot-3 Dave Watson in the front line. Woodstock will counter with Scott Rizzo (6-foot-5), Ron Ok- pisz (6-foot-4) and either Hill (6- foot-2) or Rob Mecklenburg (6- foot:l) up front. Charlie Grover, a 6-foot junior, and Pete Witty 5- foot-11 will be in the backcourt along with reserve Timm Fields (6-foot-l). "I think they may be quicker than we are, but I also feel we have better shooting," Tebo said. "Things even off in dif­ ferent parts of the game."

Crystal Lake Rd„ McHenry (815)385-0420 Johnsburg, however, got five points from Scavo, including a steal and lay-up at the buzzer, to take a 10-8 lead. Cermak scored the Bulldogs' first six points of quarter two, but JHS was getting rebound baskets by the handful, and clung to its two-point lead. With 4:20 to play in the half, Chelle LeDain hit a 15-foot jumper, the first Wauconda points by someone other than Cermak. Oeffling rebounded a DuBeau miss and scored to give the 'Hawks a 24-21 lead with 1:10 left. But a lay-up by Melba Morris, and a steal and lay-up by Cermak gave Wauconda a 25-24 lead at the inter­ mission. Cermak had 19 first-half points, despite being double- and often triple-teamed by Johnsburg defenders. Most of her buckets came from inside, as did most of Johnsburg's tallies. Oeffling and DuBeau had six apiece to lead the first-half surge for the hosts. Cermak and her teammates went cold In the early going of the third stanza, as baskets by Scavo, D u B e a u a n d S h i n e g a v e Johnsburg a 30-25 lead. Cermak hit two free throws with 5:19 to play, Wauconda's first points of the half. The teams traded buckets, and with 1°:41 to go, Cermak grabbed a rebound and went coast-to-coast, scoring and being fouled by Cindy Lane. Her free throw was perfect, and the Bulldogs led 36-34. Another Cermak hoop made it 38-34, but a rebound bucket by Oef­ fling at the buzzer inched JHS to within two. The fourth quarter was all Johnsburg. Oeffling hit the first of three big shots from the right baseline at 5:20 to give JHS the lead for good, 40-38. Another basket from the same spot by the junior forward gave Johnsburg a 44-40 advantage with 3:50 to play. Cermak looked human for the first time all night, when she miss­ ed the front ends of two bonus free throw opportunities, one with 2:58 to play, the other at 2:18. May was fouled on a drive to the hoop by Joanne Beyer, and hit both tosses at 1:29 to make it 46-40. Wauconda's press seemed to be an enigma to Johnsburg. The Skyhawks would often break it with ease and get easy baskets in the transition, yet other times would make poor passes and turn the ball over. The final minutes provided too much of the latter. With just under a minute left, Cermak scored to cut the lead to 46-42, and Oeffling traveled on the ensuing possession, prompting Fahey to call time. "I was getting nervous," Fahey admitted. "Their press was giving us trouble on-and-off. When you stop coming to the ball, that's what's going to happen. They (the Bulldogs) do a good job of double- teaming. Our girls sometimes have to be reminded what to do, to come and help out. That's what the timeout wafc for." Cermak missed an easy shot, and then fouled Shine with : 32 to go. The 5-11 freshman center hit the first one, and clinched the vic­ tory. Two more charity tosses by May with :27 left provided Johnsburg's last points. Waucon- SPORT FANS... I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW Brought to you by Phil Oeffling Amazingly, there was once a baseball player who played in over 100 games in the big lea- gues-and yet NEVER came to bat or pitched or played any position in the field! He was a unique player named Herb Washington Washington played for Oakland in 1974 and 1975, and was used only as a pinch-runner He scored 33 runs, but never got to bat or play a fielding position in his entire maior league career. • t * What are the most points ever scored by one player in a college basketball game? The all- time college record is held by Bevo Francis who scored 113 points for Rio Grande against Hillsdale o^i Feb. 2, 1954-and no other col­ lege player has ever topped that. Did you know that there once was an owner of a pro sports team who fired his team but kept the coach ?. Usually it works the other way ..But when Ned Doyle owned Miami of the American Basketball Association, his team had a bad year in 1970. so he got all new players for the next season, but kept his coach. Hal Blitman. That's probably the only time that's happened in pro sports history * # * I bet you didn't know .

Oeffling led Johnsburg with 12 points. da got a meaningless three-point play by you-know-who made the final 49-45. Oeffling led the Skyhawks with 12 points, while DuBeau and Shine tossed in 10 each. May had eight, and Scavo chipped in with seven. Cermak had 33 points for the Bulldogs. LeDain and Michelle Lelito were next with four each. * "We got over the hump. We've never been able to do it," Fahey said. "This is great. Desire. That's what did it for us. Scavo and May wanted this one so bad, and they worked for it. That's what you saw, it was desire. What Johnsburg really needed was the outstanding play of Shine. "She had a great game. Reboun­ ding, scoring. Just great. She played excellent for a freshman." If Nancy Fahey made one mistake Tuesday night, that was it. Shine didn't play excellent for a freshman. She just played ex­ cellent. Period.
