The game will be held at North Central College in Naperville, kickoff at 6 p.m. Pat was one of 33 chosen for each squad, and one of only six offensive linemen chosen to the team. The game is sponsored by the Suburban Football Coaches' Association. Pat is one of four Fox Valley Conference players on the squad.

Practice sessions will be held at Harper Colic in Palatine, and the attendance for last year's initial g over 5,000. We, along with all Warrior fans, wish Pat thebest of luck in the game, and congratulate him on being selected to the team. * In poring over the results of McHenry athletic activities this past year, we find that the Warriors didn't fare too badly in FVC competition. Joe Schlender's gridders finished fourth with a 3-3 record, 5-4 overall, and the genial coach is seeking to continue the tur­ naround this fall. ers. Volleyball was a disaster with no wins recorded for the year. Hutcn's Running Warrior cross-country team finished in a tie for second. Woodstock was the winner and surprised many people. Chris Creutz managed to qualify for the state meet for the Warriors. \ Chuck Cuda's golf team, with an overwhelming amount of underclassmen, should make its move this fall. Inexperience cost the young squad in a few matches last year, but the veteran coach is really looking forward to a banner 1985. Ken Ludwig's basketball team finished in a tie for fourth with Jacobs. Dundee-Crown defeated Woodstock in the final game of the FVC season to capture the title, and springboard coach Jim Hinkle into a college job at Elgin. Jerry Rankin's wrestling Warriors had a fine season in his first year at the helm, and without the teacher's strike, it would have been even better. The popular young coach is shooting for bigger and better results for next season, and if hard work and effort are any indication, Warrior opponents better beware in 1985-86. Mike Shanahan's swimming teams, both boys and girls, were outstanding considering the small (in numbers) squd. Lack of participants hav kept the swimmers from really snowing their stuff. One of these years, the numbers will be there, and then look out. Likewise, Mike's water polo squad.,This is the first time in girls' teams were compi next year the boys can break C: teams were comprised of a lot of undercl ik Crystal on the conference and sectional. The Gators have won seven ssmen. Maybe Lake South's stranglehold championships in a row. Pat Wirtz's girls' basketball team didn't fare too well this season, but the addition of a freshman team will definitely be a positive factor in the years to come. Likewise, Pat's girls' softball team. For the first time in several years, the Warriors were not a contender in the Fox Valley. Illness, injuries and the ever-confusing 'intangibles' all played a big part in the Warriors' slide to fifth place. • The badminton team, with mostly freshmen, had its share of tough luck, but the experience gained should prove profitable next season. Brian Wilson's baseball Warriors finished third in the league, their highest standing in several years. A 14-11 season record isn't too bad at all. There was some tough competition along the way.

Our congratulations to the Warriors who were honored on Tuesday night by being selected to the all-FVC baseball and softball teams by the conference coaches. In baseball, senior Craig Hill was selected. Craig has the honor of being selected to the all-conference teams in football, basketball and baseball. We salute this fine Warrior athlete for his performance this past year, and if my memory serves me correctly, he is the first athlete to earn such honors in three sports. Other baseball players honored were senior Steve Cunningham and sophomore Merrick Steiffer. The girls' softball team had sophomore Rachel Prushinski and senior Melissa Greve on the team. It's a great honor to be selected to all-conference teams by the coaches, and the above Warriors proved they were the best in the Fox Valley this past season. McHenry Pigtail League BODY MacLaughlin discovered. For breakfast, six egg whites minus the yolk were served along with a piece of fruit and cup of tea. A baked chicken-breast without the skin was lunch, along with an apple and piece of bread. Mora chicken and fruit composed dinner. "I didn't starve, but I had to deal with my roommates, who kept shoving Twinkies in. my f face," said MacLaughlin, who skipped water the final three days to rid himself of water weight. i The entrants performed lpulsory moves and routines before a 90-second routing to music which each man had developed. Judges then placed contestants before the evening show. "The night show is for the atidience. You do your own routine and then they call out the winners. All my buddies had me second," MacLaughlin said. As luck would have it, he wound up third. He may enter a show this summer in 4 Chicago, but for the time being, is searching for a place to train. The nearest tree weight gym is in Hoff­ man Estates. Having lived in Crystal Lake all his life, MacLaughlin is ready to move wherever the weights may take him - with an exception. ( "I plan to stay in the area if I can open a gym. I want to end up somewhere and makesometjiing of myself. I could open a franchise, but to pay $500 or or $600 a month for one, why not start my own gym? "If I had the people, I'd get a pool, a sauna, a steam room, a whirlpool, a training bed - all that stuff is a part of bodybuilding," MacLaughlin said. For now, though, he's looking for work as an ar­ tist. VI figure after four years of school, I'd better do something with my degree," he laughed. "This wa, I'll have time to do my own stuff, too."
