Raiders whip St. Rita, eye state playoff bid Mac McCarty has a philosophy that most football coaches would disagree with, but, nevertheless, it has worked for the North Shore Country Day coach. I don ' t believe in scouting another team, says McCarty, The kids ought to learn how to play on the field. We never know what the other team is like until we play them. 1 guess we ' re low-key. McCarty has also been successful this season, winning the Independent School League title with a 3-0 mark while compil- ing a 6-1 record going into Saturday ' s final game of the year against De La Salle ' s jun- ior varsity. The lastest win was over St. Rita ' s jayv- ees Saturday in Winnetka. And after a quarter and St. Rita ahead 8-0, McCarty had seen enough to start his team clicking. The Raiders quickly marched downfield with their next two possessions in the sec- ond quarter, both times scoring on pass plays from Paul Theiss to halfback Jerry Ramseur. The first was from 25 yards out and the second from the 32. The day proved to be entirely North Shore ' s, as the defense stopped St. Rita for 105 yards total offense. The Raiders had 266, including 129 through the air on Theiss ' 12-17 afternoon. But the best highlight for the defensive squad came midway through the final pe- riod. Tackle Matt Weisenberg caught a mishandled snap between the quarterback and the center in mid air and dashed 20 yards for a touchdown. Theiss passed to Andy Nathan from 12 yards out for the final score. We ' re little, but we get awfully good play out of our kids, says the North Shore coach. They brought out some 220-pound tackles, and our kids thought that this was the toughest game of the year. The game Saturday will be a big one for the Raiders. If they win, they will qualify for the first time for the state 1-A playoffs. The first year the playoffs started, we went 7-1, but the IHSA didn ' t count games against junior varsity teams, says McCar- ty. I think now they realize that most of the jayvee teams could easily win the 1-A tourney. The game is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. at the North Shore field. 17
