WEST BRANCH The

Gaylord girls of coach Frank
Hamilla did the expected at
the court of Big North foe
Ogemaw Heights on Friday,
Feb. 1, but the win didnt
come easily.
The Blue Devils rebounded
from their loss to Petoskey
the previous Monday to edge
the Falcons 42-34 in a physi-
cal contest. Gaylord led by
just a point, 19-18, at half-
time before outscoring the
g a me - b ut - o ut ma nne d
Falcons 14-5 in the third
quarter to break things open.
Gaylord went aggressively
to the hole in the first half
and kept drawing fouls. The
Blue Devils shot 16 from the
charity stripe in the second
quarter alone and 27 for the
game. It led to a lot of game
stoppages and a choppy kind
of game, especially in the first
half.
There wasnt a real good
flow to the game (in the first
half ), reported Gaylord
coach Frank Hamilla. We
came out in the third quarter
and played great team ball.
We stepped it up defensively
in that quarter and changed
the tempo of the game.
Sizzling senior wing
Mackenzie Edwards led all
scorers once again. Mac
knifed her way through the
lane to score on penetrating
drives or to draw fouls and
take her turn at the charity
stripe. When she wasnt driv-
ing from the baseline or pass-
ing to open teammates, she
was making the twine dance
from downtown.
Mac finished another pro-
ductive night in her stellar
four-year varsity career with
a game-high 23 points. She is
on the verge of becoming the
first female player for
Gaylord to surpass 1,000
points since Kelli Parker
(then Kelli Kraniak) was
wowing the Blue Devil faith-
ful in the 1980s. Mac had the
opportunity to reach the
scoring milestone when
Gaylord played host to
Traverse City Central on
Tuesday, Feb. 5.
Long-armed senior
Chelsea Fox churned out
seven points with a gritty
performance inside and she
also grabbed eight rebounds.
Junior guard Maddie Hamilla
hauled in five boards and
covered the floor defensively
like snow on an evergreen,
generating three steals while
making the Falcon ball han-
dlers very wary.
Senior guard Sarah
Perpetual Motion Polena
propelled herself up and
down the floor with the lever
fixed on full throttle, as usual.
She recorded two assists in
the big road win. Junior
guard Lauren Hintz was a
lock-down factor on defense
also, recording two steals.
The high-flying JV girls of
coach Shelly Curtis contin-
ued their strong play,
outscoring Ogemaw 40-21.
Lindsey Zaremba was zoned
in, as usual. Lindsey
launched 14 points. Brandi
Wagner added wallop to the
assault as well, scoring 12,
and Aimee Kilbourn cor-
ralled six caroms.
Everyone played and
worked hard, reported
coach Curtis.
After entertaining T.C.
Central on Tuesday, the Blue
Devils are slated to travel to
Alpena for a Big North clash
on Friday, Feb. 8, then play at
Clare in a rare Saturday game
with the JV set for 3:30 and
the varsity tip-off set for 5
p.m. On Tuesday, Feb. 12, the
Blue Devils are on the road
again to face T.C. Central.

GAYLORD Another tough
loss.
The Gaylord boys of coach
Tim ORourke battled hard
once again, hustling and
scrapping for 32 minutes, but
they couldnt generate
enough firepower to outscore
visiting Big North foe
Ogemaw Heights on Friday.
The Falcons held on for a
53-43 decision. They
improved to 4-7 overall and
1-6 in the Big North. Gaylord
was looking for its first win in
the league but it did not
come on this night. The Blue
Devils slipped to 1-12 and 0-
7.
Bryan Rabine, the Blue
Devils battling senior for-
ward, rang up 14 points to
lead the scoring column,
including 4-of-5 free throws,
and he racked up nine
rebounds as well with anoth-
er workmanlike effort. Senior
Tyler Frisch fired in eight
points with two connections
from beyond the arc and
long-armed Zach Lundell
landed six points through the
iron and latched onto six
rebounds.
Backcourt members Tyler
Cherry, Leland Hughey, Chris
Stout, Cam Taylor and James
Dunn turned in their typical-
ly intense two-way effort,
especially on defense. Senior
Zach Pasternak plugged
some key free throws to nar-
row the gap in the fourth
quarter.
The effort was there for
ORourkes troops but not the
points, thanks largely to the
physical, tough defense
employed by the visiting
Falcons.
Gaylord captured the JV
game in a real nail-biter, 71-
23. The Blue Devil attack was
fortified with plenty of
Vitamin B, as in Blayne
Baker. Blayne blistered the
nets for a game-high 24
points and brought down a
game-high 12 rebounds.
Cotton Neff didnt shrink
back from the fray either,
connecting for nine points
with four steals, and Steven
Fitzek found the bottom of
the net for nine points to go
with five rebounds. Collin
Watters showered seven
points through the rim and
was a Windex Wonder under
the glass, taking down eight
rebounds. Slick sophomore
guard DeMarco Pryor-
McCovery delivered seven
points while Dalton Warden
and Hunter Webber covered
the floor defensively like a
fresh coat of wax.
Gaylord (1-12, 0-7) played
at T.C. Central on Tuesday,
Feb. 5, after this issue went to
press. On Friday, Feb. 8, the
Blue Devils are home against
Alpena.

Balanced scoring in evidence as Petoskey posts impressive 76-49 win over
scrappy Chiefs
By Mike Dunn
CHEBOYGAN Senior
Slingin Sammy Baumgartner
helped pave the path to vic-
tory once again for the
Petoskey boys on Monday.
Baumgartner blistered the
nets from the backcourt for
18 points to lead a balanced
scoring attack in an impres-
sive 76-49 triumph over host
Cheboygan in the second
part of the annual home-
and-home non-league rival-
ry between the two schools.
Petoskey, which also beat
Cheboygan at home earlier in
the season, improved to 12-2
overall with the victory and
the Chiefs, facing a very
tough portion of their sched-
ule, slipped to 6-6.
Baumgartner brought
down eight rebounds in
addition to his scoring touch.
Angular Erik Davenport
delivered 13 points with five
boards on a night when
coach Dennis Starkey was
able to give the reserves floor
time and 10 Northmen play-
ers reached the scoring col-
umn.
Senior Quinn Ameel made
11 points to join Sam and
Erik in double figures and
Leaping Louis Lamberti was
lights out off the bench, scor-
ing seven to go with five
boards.
Logan Ackerman was
locked in like a laser from 3-
point land, making the twine
jump twice to score six points
during his time on the floor.
Graham Hooley also gath-
ered six points and Tyler
Spiegl spanked the twine for
five. Joe LeBlanc landed five
through the iron as well with
three steals.
Junior Ben Pearson put 13
on the board for the Chiefs
and Luke Harrington hit for
13 also. Junior Nik Bevier
struck for seven.
Petoskey squeezed out a
tense win in the JV clash, 69-
30. Parker Monley drove a
dozen points through the rim
for the young Northmen
while Jared Byers jacked in
11.
Petoskey also won the
teeth-clenching freshmen
game 67-29 to remain
unbeaten this season. Nate
Reed rocked the iron for 10
points and Peter Crittenden
connected for 10 also. Matt
Osterberg added ammo to
the arsenal, scoring nine, and
Brendan Smith struck for
nine as well.
Petoskey (12-2, 6-2) has the
HUGE Big North showdown
with T.C. West at home this
Friday, Feb. 8, in what should
be a dandy of a battle. The
Northmen edged West 65-57
about a month ago when the
teams met in Traverse City.
Both teams are 6-2 and atop
the league standings going
into the game. It will also be
Hall of Fame Night for
Petoskey.
ON FRIDAY, Feb. 1,
Cheboygan traveled north
and lost to talented Sault Ste.
Marie, 62-46.
Junior forward Ben
Pearson plugged the iron for
14 points and pulled down
five boards and fellow junior
forward Nik Bevier nailed
nine points. Senior Jake
Schott scored six and secured
nine rebounds while Luke
Harrington hit for four and
hauled in five boards.
The Chiefs also lost the JV
battle 50-38 in spite of 11
points from Derek Sturvist
and seven from Borja Garcia.
For a report on the Chiefs
tough loss to Boyne City, see
the Boys Hoops report in this
issue.
On Friday, Feb. 8, the
Chiefs are home against
Rudyard in a Straits Area
Conference clash. On
Tuesday, Feb. 12, the Chiefs
are home against Alpena.
ON FRIDAY, Feb. 1, the
Northmen snapped a two-
game losing streak with a 63-
46 decision over Big North
foe Traverse City Central.
The potent 1-2 punch of
sluggin Sam Baumgartner
and long-armed Erik
Davenport accounted for 19
points apiece to lead the
Northmen, who improved to
6-2 in league play and 11-2
overall. Central fell to 3-10
and 3-4.
Shea Whitmore was wired
in for nine points to help the
cause and Joe LeBlanc came
up LeBig from the floor also,
scoring eight.
Ethan Pilarski produced 15
points for the Trojans.
Petoskey won the JV game
47-26 as Evan Whitmore
whacked the twine for 14 and
Tornado Teddy Tamm tal-
lied 10. Parker Monley made
seven.

ALANSON It was a spe-
cial night for a special player.
Mackinaw City senior
Courtney Wallis added to the
laurels of her brilliant four-
year varsity career when she
surpassed 1,000 points on
Thursday, Jan. 31, in a 70-21
victory at the court of
Northern Lakes Conference
rival Alanson.
Wallis waxed the twine for
27 points to reach and go
past the milestone. She had
1,004 points and counting
going into the conference
game that was played at
Harbor Light Christian on
Tuesday, Feb. 5, after this
issue went to press. That
scoring figure is even more
impressive considering that
Wallis is certainly no ball hog.
As coach Adam Stefanski
noted, shes a team player
first.
Courtney also contributed
eight steals and six assists in
the win at Alanson.
Walliss achievements
helped Mack City to stay
unbeaten in conference play.
The Comets soared to 11-3
overall and 7-0 in the league.
Senior forward Claudia
Alexander was great, too,
scoring 13 on the night.
Junior Brooke Yoder bounced
10 through the twine and
feisty freshman Chelsey
Closs collected 10 points as
well.
The Mack City JV team
rolled also, winning 47-19 as
Lilly Alexander led the way.
Lilly was lights out with the
ball in her hands, scoring 17,
and she was no shrinking
violet under the glass, latch-
ing onto 15 rebounds.
Katherine Watchorn added
some wallop to the offense as
well, generating 11 points
and 10 boards for a double-
double.
After playing at Harbor
Light on Tuesday of this
week, the Comets are home
against Ellsworth on
Thursday, Feb. 7, in another
league clash. On Tuesday,
Feb. 12, they play at Boyne
Falls in a huge NLC show-
down.

JOHANNESBURG The St.
Mary boys of coach Ken
Blust made it two in a row in
Ski Valley thrillers on
Monday. The Snowbirds,
coming off a tense come-
from-behind win at Onaway
on Friday, posted a tense,
razor-thin 45-44 victory at
the court of Johannesburg-
Lewiston.
The Snowbird win in the
rivalry game reversed an ear-
lier 61-33 loss to J-L in
Gaylord back in December.
This time around the
game was close all the way
through, with neither team
able to gain any distance on
the scoreboard. St. Mary led
23-20 at the half but trailed
30-29 going into the fourth
quarter. The teams
exchanged the lead several
times in the fourth quarter,
including in the final minute
of regulation.
A driving layup by crunch-
time senior Cole Nagy
brought the Cardinals from a
44-42 deficit to knot the
game at 44 with less than 30
seconds left to play.
The Snowbirds moved the
ball around on the ensuing
possession. With 9 seconds
left, junior forward Charles
Strehl was fouled while
shooting and went to the
line. He hit the free throw
that proved to be the game-
winner.
The Cardinals had a
chance to pull ahead in the
final seconds but the St.
Mary defense stood the test
and didnt allow an uncon-
tested shot.
Strehl strummed the twine
for 10 points to lead a bal-
anced scoring ledger for the
Snowbirds in addition to hit-
ting the game-winning free
throw. Strehl also grabbed
seven rebounds and blocked
three shots to help secure
the hard-fought win.
Carmen Juneac generated
nine points and point guard
Matt Spyhalski spilled seven
though the iron to go with
six boards and three assists.
Rugged Nick Lochinski
locked in for six points and
recorded four steals and
fluid Nick Harrington hit for
six points with four boards.
Feisty freshman Logan
Huff launched a game-high
13 points for J-L and he was
a force defensively as well,
recording three steals.
Coalton Huff hit for seven
points and recorded four
assists.
J-L (5-8, 4-7) played host
to league front-runner
Bellaire on Wednesday, Feb.
6. On Monday, Feb. 11, J-L
entertains Atlanta in a game
that was rescheduled from
Jan. 28.
For a report on J-Ls Ski
Valley clash with Forest Area,
see the Boys Hoops report in
this issue.
ON FRIDAY, the visiting
Snowbirds rallied in the final
minutes from a 48-45 deficit
to outscore Ski Valley foe
Onaway 52-50 in another
real nail-biter.
Seniors Matt Spyhalski
and Nick Lochinski drilled
key free throws in the last
minute of the game to put St.
Mary over the top in the see-
saw battle.
Onaway, trailing 52-50,
had two chances to tie or go
ahead in the final seconds
but two shots from 3-point
land flirted with the rim
before falling out. It was a
very tough home loss for the
Cardinals and an encourag-
ing win on the road for the
Snowbirds.
Spyhalski had a produc-
tive night from the back-
court, hammering home 12
points and pulling down
seven boards. He also dished
off four assists.
Angular Charles Strehl
struck for 12 points to go
with eight rebounds, three
steals and three assists and
the rugged Lochinski landed
11 through the iron and also
acquired four assists.
Cameron Juneac connected
for seven points to help the
cause.
"The boys came close to
playing a complete game,
said St. Mary coach Ken
Blust. I thought after a good
start, we came out a bit flat
in the second quarter. Our
patience on offense was
truly present.
Onaway is a very big,
physical team, and I believe
we matched their attack
inside the paint, he added.
With the time slowly clos-
ing out, the boys listened
and executed well, and fin-
ished strong to end the
game. I was very pleased
with this team effort.
Junior Joe OBradovich,
who is having a strong sea-
son for the Cardinals, blis-
tered the twine for 16 points
and the cool hand of Carlos
Bautista accounted for 16 as
well. Dangerous Andrew
Prow produced 11 points.
St. Mary (7-6, 5-6) was
host to Pickford on
Wednesday, Feb. 6, and on
Friday, Feb. 8, the Snowbirds
play at Pellston.
Blusts troops edge Onaway by two
points and perennial

JOHANNESBURG The
Johannesburg-Lewi ston
girls of coach Heather Huff
pushed their record to a
sterling 14-1 overall and 11-
1 in the Ski Valley with
another workmanlike effort
on the home floor on
Tuesday, Jan. 29, taking a 46-
31 decision over Bellaire.
J-L, employing its suffo-
cating press, powered to a
commanding 35-15 lead
after three quarters. The
Eagles, to their credit,
scored 16 points in the final
quarter beating their total
from the first three quarters
after Huff called off the
dogs and allowed the visi-
tors to breathe a little bit.
Senior wing Abby
Schlicher fueled the fire for
J-L once again. Acetylene
Abby torched the twine for
a team-high 13 points on a
night when the starters saw
limited duty. Junior twine-
tamer Brittany Cherwinski
churned out 10 points to
join Abby in double digits.
All 13 J-L players saw floor
time for coach Huff in the
game and all contributed.
Nine Cardinal players visit-
ed the scoring column.
Hailey Weaver, Hannah Huff
and Katelyn Weaver helped
the cause with their high-
octane, two-way play, espe-
cially at the defensive end.
Freshman phenom Maddie
Showerman and Shannon
Kievit also stoked the defen-
sive fires, as did Mackenzie
Mathewson, Natalie
Hamilton and Katie
Kierczynski.
Huff called the win a
total team effort.
Katie Thornton connect-
ed for 12 of her 14 points in
the second half to lead the
Eagles. Miranda Washburn
hit for 12.
J-L (14-1, 11-1) earned
honorable mention status
in the latest Class C poll
from the Associated Press.
The Cardinals played host
to Inland Lakes on Tuesday,
Feb. 5, after this issue went
to press. On Thursday, Feb.
7, the girls travel to Central

12, they are home again

Chiefs battle hard in defeat
By Mike Dunn
CHEBOYGAN The
Cheboygan girls of coach
Jason Purcell were staring at
the barrel end of an 18-point
deficit in the first half Friday
against talented Sault Ste.
Marie. The Chiefs stormed
back to make a game of it in
the second half but couldnt
quite make it all the way back
in a tough 42-36 defeat.
The Chiefs trailed 24-12 at
halftime and 32-23 after
three quarters. In the early
part of the fourth quarter,
though, Cheboygan churned
out points with precision to
trim the Blue Devil lead to
just three points, 34-31. Sam
Buhr made the nets swim
from the free throw line to
help fuel the run and scrappy
sophomore Brooke Hancock
pulled the trigger on a timely
trey.
The visitors responded,
however, making their free
throws down the stretch to
maintain their lead.
Senior guard Caitlin
McNeil and sophomore
Macey Charboneau each
made the twine spin to the
tune of 10 points to pace the

HARBOR SPRINGS The
visiting Grayling girls varsity
basketball team used an
aggressive defense to topple
rival Harbor Springs, 50-33,
on Friday, Feb. 1.
The Vikings took control
early, outscoring the host
Lady Rams, 16-7, in the
opening stanza and Grayling
still held a 26-18 advantage
at the half.
It was a competitive
game, said Grayling head
coach Joe Powers. We
pressed quite effectively
causing many turnovers and
provided us with quality
scoring opportunities.
Grayling (7-6 overall, 3-5
LMC) made sure its lead
would stand up, holding
Harbor Springs to just 15
points in the entire second
half.
Sophomore guard Hailey
Whittaker led the charge for
Grayling with a career-high
17 points, 4 steals, 2 assists
and 1 rebound. Another
sophomore, forward
Samantha Denno, was the
only other Viking cager in
double figures with 12
points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals
and 4 blocked shots in the
win.
Senior forward Maddie
Benardo earned her coachs
praise as the teams leading
glass cleaner, as she ripped
down a team-best 8 boards
to go along with 2 points and
3 steals.
Other contributors for
Grayling on Friday included:
Hannah Haven with 6 points,
1 rebound, 4 steals and 2
assists; Alyssa Morley with 5
points, 1 board, 3 steals and
1 assist; Erica Umlor with 3
points, 2 rebounds and 4
steals; Rachel Money with 3
points, 1 board and 1 steal;
Makayla Cragg with 2 points
and 3 rebounds; Caitlin
Prosser with 2 blocked shots,
1 rebound and 1 steal; and
Hailey Petty with 1 steal.

Monday, Feb. 7, falling to Lake Michigan Conference rival Elk Rapids, 52-41. The loss dropped
Grayling to 7-7 overall and 3-6 in the LMC. Above, Grayling junior forward Makayla Cragg (No.

By Mike Dunn
PELLSTON Senior guard
Dakotah Davedowski was
dynamite for Inland Lakes on
Friday, Feb. 1, at the floor of
Ski Valley foe Pellston. The
dangerous Davedowski
exploded to score 35 of his
teams 46 points in a tense
46-44 victory over the
Hornets.
Dakotah didnt go south
from beyond the arc, dialing
in six times in the contest. He
was also hotter than Texas
chili from the charity stripe,
making 9-of-10 to help the
Bulldogs win their third
game in their last four and
improve to 3-8 this season.
Nick Howery also helped
the Bulldog cause, hitting for
six points and hauling down
eight rebounds. Senior Cody
Bonilla also nailed some key
free throws late in the game.
Senior sparkplug Jake
Friedenstab struck for 18
points for the hardworking
Hornets to go with six steals.
Tall Tanner Keller tallied nine
and took down 12 rebounds
and Austin Hamlin ham-
mered home 11 points with
eight boards.
Pellston made just 12-of-
25 from the stripe while the
Bulldogs were 12-of-14 as a
team.
Too many missed free
throws hurt us, reported
Pellston coach Cliff Hass.
Dakotah Davedowski had a
great night. He scored 35
points and they were evenly
spread throughout the game.
He carried I-Lakes on his
shoulders.
Inland Lakes (3-8) played
at Forest Area on Wednesday,
Feb. 6. The Bulldogs are
home this Friday, Feb. 8,
against Onaway for the

at 54 after three quarters.
The Cardinals slipped to 5-
7 overall and 4-6 in the Ski

MIO The Mio boys
pushed their unblemished
record to 12-0 overall and 10-
0 in the league on Friday with
a 49-22 decision over visiting
Hillman in North Star League
play. The Thunderbolts are
ranked eighth in Class D in
the latest AP poll.
Sweet-shooting senior
guard Micah Thomey, who
recently surpassed 1,000
points in his career, tickled
the twine for 15 points and
helped his teammates gain
open shots also with his pin-
point passing as he recorded
six assists.
Ben Ben Lubitz lubricated
the nets for a dozen points
for the Bolts, who led 21-12 at
the half.
Hillman, which came into
the game with a respectable
8-3 record and 7-2 in the
NSL, tried to slow things
down to keep pace with the
explosive Thunderbolts and
the strategy worked for the
first half. In the second half,
though, the Bolts gradually
pulled away on the score-
board.
Mason VanPamel pro-
duced 11 points for the
Tigers.
Mio played at Whittemore-
Prescott on Tuesday, Feb. 5,
after this issue went to press.

Boyne Falls 68
Wolverine 33
BOYNE FALLS
Wolverine played hard and
hustled hard but did not have
enough firepower to stay
with host Boyne Falls on
Friday, Feb. 1, in Northern
Lakes Conference action. The
Loggers, fueled by the hot
hand of Marcus Matelski,
earned a 68-33 decision.
Matelksi made 34 for the
Loggers with 10 rebounds
and Brandon Matelski made
15 as Boyne Falls (10-1, 7-0)
celebrated its Homecoming
with a win.
Taylor Schramm tallied 12
to pace the Wildcats and
Chris Grimm generated
eight.
Alanson 65
Harbor Light 46
HARBOR SPRINGS Brett

added lots of wallop for
Alanson on Friday in a
tilt at Harbor Light Christian.
Williams waxed the nets for
20 points and Wicker wound
up with 19 as Alanson
secured a 65-46 victory over
the Swordsmen. Wicker was
quicker at grabbing the ball
under the glass, winding up
with 12 boards for a double-
double.
Max Oom added some
boom to the Viking assault,
too, scoring eight, and Bobby
Sproule sprayed eight
through the rim also.
Ethan Bump pumped 16
points through the iron and
Lucas Matthews tallied 11 for
the Swordsmen, who slipped
league. Harbor Light played
host to Wolverine on
Tuesday, Feb. 5.

a 62-58 margin on Monday,
Feb. 4, surged to 6-6 overall
and 5-3 in the league.
Mancelona 60
Pellston 36
PELLSTON The
Mancelona Ironmen
rebounded from their loss to
Ski Valley front-runner
Bellaire with a workmanlike
60-36 decision over host
Pellston on Wednesday, Jan.
30.
Sweet-shooting sopho-
more Brandon Dingman
delivered the goods for the
Ironmen once again. B-
Ding rang up 28 points and
pulled down 13 rebounds as
Mancelona pushed its record
Ski Valley.
Pellston coach Cliff Hass
credited Dingman with a
great effort.
The only that that slowed
him down was the final
buzzer, Hass reported.
Junior guard Logan Borst
launched 10 points for the
Ironmen.
Pellston, which slipped to
1-8 in the league and 1-10
overall, stayed with
Mancelona stride-for-stride
through the first half. The

intermission.
The Ironmen, fueled by
Dingmans hot hand,
outscored the host Hornets
18-5 in the third quarter to
assume a 45-32 lead.
Senior Jake Friedenstab
fired in 10 points to lead the
Hornets and Dave Andress
drilled nine through the iron.

Boyne City 51
Cheboygan 50
CHEBOYGAN The host
Chiefs suffered a heartbreak-
ing 51-50 loss to non-league
foe Boyne City on Tuesday,
Jan. 31.
Rangy sophomore Corey
Redman sank a free throw in
the final seconds to break a
50-50 tie and give the visiting
Ramblers the narrow victory.
The swarming Chiefs of
coach Kevin Baller actually
did a good job of keeping the
ever-dangerous Redman
under wraps for much of the
game, not allowing the 6-
foot-4 sophomore, who has
already committed to Central
Michigan, much breathing
room.
But cream finds a way of
rising to the top and the good
players come through in the
clutch when theyre needed
the most. After being held to
11 points through the first
three quarters, Redman
scored nine in the fourth
quarter, including the killer
free throw to put his team
over the top.
Junior guard Luke
Harrington and junior for-
ward Ben Petroleum
Pearson oiled the nets for 12
points apiece to lead the
Chiefs and senior point
guard Damon Proctor pro-
duced nine points. Seniors
Jordan Fontaine and Jake
Schott each fired in six points
in the narrow loss.
Maceo Vroman scored 13
points and Brad Fouchia
added for Boyne City.
The Ramblers also won the
JV clash 54-40. Derek Sturvist
drilled 10 points for the
young Chiefs and Borja
Garcia and Brady Hiller each
hit for seven.

GAYLORD The Petoskey
hockey squad paid a visit to
the Otsego County
Sportsplex for a Big North
showdown on Friday, Feb. 1,
and came away with a hard-
fought 5-3 victory. The
Northmen generated numer-
ous scoring opportunities in
the game but the steady play
of goalie Peter Lawton kept
the Blue Devils in the hunt
almost to the end.
Harrison Quaal hammered
one home for Gaylord at the
outset of the third period to
trim Petoskeys lead to 4-3.
Quaals first goal of the sea-
son, coming with help from
Seth Muzyl and Anthony
Tomaski, ignited the hope of
a late comeback for Gaylord.
The Blue Devils battled
hard to get another goal past
patient Petoskey netminder
Breanna Merriam but she
was up to the task. Gaylord
had a power play opportuni-
ty midway through the final
period but could not produce
the tying goal as Merriam
turned away everything
directed at her.
Petoskey senior defense-
man Nik Kolodziej is noted
more for his jarring hits and
puck-clearing abilities than
his scoring punch. In Fridays
game, though, Nik turned in
the biggest goal of his career
(and only one to date) with a
sizzling slammer from the
point to seal the deal for the
Northmen. His goal, with
help from Ken Forton, put
Petoskey on top 5-3 with just
a few minutes left in regula-
tion.
Aaron Cook put some heat
under the Petoskey attack in
the early going as he scored
unassisted to put the
Northmen ahead 1-0. Then it
was Cannon Kenny Forton
unleashing another explosive
blast to light the scoring
lamp later in the period and
give the visitors a 2-0 advan-
tage.
Gaylord gallantly rallied to
tie the score at 2 as tenacious
Trevor Raymond and smooth
Seth Muzyl rattled the twine
just 90 seconds apart midway
through the second period.
Trevors goal came during a
five-minute power play with
help from Jackson Deans and
Muzyls missile was aided by
the reliable Raymond.
The 2-2 tie didnt last long,
though, as Petoskey scored
twice in the final minutes of
the period to pull ahead 4-2.
First, Brandon Pomranke
powered one home with help
from Nick Trombley to make
it 3-2 and then trench-tough
Tanner Davis delivered the
goods with help from Skye
Pilot Skye Pieffer and
Bryndon Worden.
Quaals timely tally at the
start of the third period
changed the complexion of
the game again, however,
giving Gaylord hope of a rally.
That hope was thwarted,
though, thanks to Kolonziej.
Peter Lawton turned away
29 of 34 shots sent his way by
the swarming Northmen and
did a credible job keeping the
Blue Devils in contention.
Merriam stopped 11 of 14
shots for Petoskey and some
of those saves were difficult
ones, especially in the sec-
ond period.
ON SATURDAY, Petoskey
played at Bay City and
thwarted the Thunder by a 4-
1 count. It was sixth win in
the last seven games for the
Northmen, who improved to
13-8 overall.
Sophomore goalie Mike
McCain was merely magnifi-
cent between the pipes, stop-
ping all but one shot in the
contest, including a break-
away.
Kevin Hansen laid the
hammer down for the
Northmen offensively, ring-
ing up a pair of goals. Cook
helped provide the recipe for
success also, connecting on a
one-timer for a goal and Skye
Pieffer scored also with help
from a perfect feed provided
by Tanner Davis.
Tanner had two assists in
the game and the fearsome
Ken Forton also had an
assist.
Petoskey (13-8, 3-4) faced
Gaylord again on Wednesday,
Feb. 6, at Griffin Arena. It is
also the second annual
Pink-at-the-Rink Cancer
Awareness game and serves
as a fundraiser for cancer
research. All proceeds from
the game will be donated to
the Kathleen Jontz Breast
Health Fund through the
McLaren Northern Michigan
Foundation. On Friday, Feb.
8, the Northmen are on the
road against Saginaw Nouvel.
ON SATURDAY, Gaylord
suffered a heartbreaking 4-3
overtime loss at Mount
Pleasant. The Blue Devils
held a 3-2 lead in the second
period but the Oilers Zach
Heeke zoomed one home
with just a second left in the
period to tie the score at 3.
After a scoreless third peri-
od, the game went into over-
time and Nick Coscarelly
scored unassisted just 2:05 to
give the Oilers the win.
Gaylord trailed twice in the
game and rallied each time in
pursuit of the first win.
The Blue Devils trailed 1-0
in the first period when
Missile Mitch Lawton
launched a laser 5:05 into the
period to knot the score at 1.
Trevor Raymond notched his
sixth assist of the season on
Lawtons goal and Jackson
Dean earned his fourth
assist.
In the second period,
Danny Pulver of the Oilers
cashed in a power play, one
of eight power play opportu-
nities they had in the game,
to put Mount Pleasant on top
2-1.
The Blue Devils rebounded
with a pair of goals to take
the lead themselves in the
period. Sudden Sam Black
once again displayed his
diploma from the School of
Sock, sending a sizzling
slammer past sprawling
Mount Pleasant goalie
Theron Krapek to forge a rip-
ping 2-2 tie. Anthony
Tomaski fed Black for the
short-handed goal.
Then tenacious Trevor
Raymond rang one up with
help from the ubiquitous Mr.
Black and Drake Olson, who
put himself in the right place
at the right time and earned
his first assist of the season.
Trevors timely tally made it
3-2 and it looked like the lead
might hold up the way Blue
Devil goalie Peter Lawton
was turning the shots away.
But Mount Pleasant had
one power play too many.
Heekes hummer tied the
score at 3.
In the third period, Mount
Pleasant had too more power
plays. Lawton was up to the
challenge and didnt allow
the Oilers to score on either.
The Blue Devils spent so
much time killing penalties,
however, that they didnt get
to mount much of an attack.
Mount Pleasant out-shot
the Blue Devils 31-12 in the
contest.
Gaylord plays in the

Sicinski, Wilson earn hat tricks as Reps record
victories over Manistee, Monroe St. Marys
Ba' Re" !a##le o$#
#&o mo!e
By Doug Derrer
TRAVERSE CITY Playing
their final two home games
of the year the Bay Area Reps
hosted Manistee and
Monroe St. Mary's Catholic
Central over the weekend.
The Reps ripped past
Manistee 5-3 on Friday, Feb.
1, with Claire Huhta in the
nets and manhandled St.
Marys 8-0 in a Saturday
matinee.
In their contest with
Northern Michigan Hockey
League foe Manistee the
Reps skated out to a 3-0 lead
after one period. Nitro
Nick Sicinski exploded for
three goals to help lead the
way and Huhta pushed her
perfect mark in goal to 5-0.
Sicinski scored the first
Rep goal 5:13 into the con-
test with an assist from
Trevor Apsey. Zach Hill net-
ted an unassisted goal one
minute after the Sicinski
goal and Deryk Henderson
scored his first goal with an
assist from Jakson Drake
with 4:24 left in the first.
The Chippewas scored
early in the second to cut the
lead to 3-1. Sicinski put the
Reps up 4-1 with 3:26 to go
in the second with an assist
from Josh Hill,but a
Manistee goal with 33 sec-
onds left in the period cut
the lead to 4-2 in favor of the
Reps. Sicinski scored his hat
trick goal with 6:38 left in the
contest with as assist from
Nate Wilson and Zach Hill to
put the Reps up 5-2.
The Chippewas would
score a goal with 3:03 left to
make the final score 5-3 in
favor of the Reps.
In their Saturday matinee
with Monroe St. Mary's, the
Reps honored their six sen-
iors before the contest with a
brief ceremony.
Once the game started the
seniors made it a day to
remember as they led the
Reps to an 8-0 mercy win
over the Falcons. Wilson had
a hat trick and assist to pace
the Reps. Zach Hill had two
goals and two assists, while
Sicinski had a goal and two
assists.
Juniors Andrew Dzierwa
and Gavin Uitvlegt also
scored goals for the Reps,
who improved their record
to a 9-11 record on the year.
The Reps travel to Trenton
Feb. 9-10 to participate in
the Michigan Interscholastic
Hockey League Showcase
where they will take on
Saginaw Heritage and Allen
Park.
CHEBOYGAN A benefit
dinner is planned for
Sunday, Feb. 17, at
Mulligans to help defray
the medical and travel
costs for the family of
Cheboygan senior hockey
goaltender Nick Watson.
The benefit dinner goes
from 2-6 p.m.
The delicious pasta din-
ner specially prepared by
Chef Kelly and the crew at
Mulligans is only $12 per
person and $4 for children
under 4. There will also be
music and a cash bar as
well as an auction.
Nick, a game battler
between the pipes for the
Chiefs of coach Craig Coxe,
sustained an accidental
head injury in a game
against Alpena early in the
season and is still recover-
ing his motor skills and suf-
fering some memory loss.
Though medical insur-
ance covers the injury, the
family is responsible for
travel expenses and thera-
pies crucial for Nicks
recovery.
The Blueliners and
Debra Coxe, wife of coach
Coxe, are also sponsoring a
Community Skate on Feb.
17 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
at the Ralph Cantile Arena
where brunch-type finger
foods will be available to
raise more funds. All pro-
ceeds from skate rental, ice
rental and skate sharpen-
ing as well as any donations
from the brunch treats all
go to the family.
Proceeds from Feb. 17 fundraisers go to
family of Nick Watson injured during a
game earlier this season

25 These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; an hour is coming

Swatting flies with a sledgehammer
Marabelle is visiting her friend Lulu for tea. She notices several holes in the wall and a window pane missing not to
mention a huge dent or two in the refrigerator.
Lulu dear, Im not trying to be nosey but what on earth did all this damage to your beautiful home?
Oh that was just Bubba swatting flies
:Swatting flies? He did all that damage with a little bitty flyswatter?
Oh no Marablle dear. Bubba uses a sledgehammer.
Now we all know that flies buzzing around the house and making a mess is a problem that needs to be dealt with.
We also know that while a sledgehammer does kill the fly it leaves a lot of unnecessary damage. Sometimes that
damage only makes the problem worse. For instance bust out a window and youll end up with a lot more flies and
other bugs than you ever had before.
In raising children there are issues that need to be dealt with. If left alone the problem will only get worse and go
on to create severe issues in adulthood.
Your child doesnt do their homework for whatever reason. The sledgehammer response is:
What are you stupid, do you want to grow up to be an idiot? Well dont worry about growing up to be oneyou
already are! I cant believe anything as ignorant as you came from my loins!
Your child is disruptive on a regular basis at the dinner table. The sledgehammer response is:
These are the days that make me wish you had never been born! This family would be better off without you!
Your child is playing with the puppy and pulls its ears. The sledgehammer response is:
You sicko! What are you doing? Youre going to grow up like all those other murderers that started out hurting ani-
mals. You probably dream about shooting us when were sleeping dont you?
You catch your son on a porn site on the internet. The sledgehammer response is:
You pervert! Youre going to be the next Jeffery Dahlmer or Charles Manson. My God! What am I going to do. I
cant have a sex fiend in this house. Your sisters will never be safe!
Think Im over the top? Think again. These things and things like them are said every day. Want to hear one worse
than that?
So you forgot to feed your dog again? What will Pastor Bob think of you when I tell him? Some Christian you are!
Ive known more than one child with Christian parents who uses the Bible as their sledgehammer and invokes the
pastor as the boogeyman from God.
Lord, help me to deal with issues as you would. Keep the sledgehammer out of my hands and even more impor-
tantly out of my mouth. Amen.
Thoughts on...What have you heard someone say that
was like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer??

The 2013 Ford Fusion and Fusion
Hybrid received a top vehicle safety
rating from the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The Fusion and Fusion Hybrid
received a five-star Overall Vehicle
Score in NHTSA New Car Assessment
Program (NCAP) testing, which com-
bines vehicle performance in frontal
and side-impact crash tests and resist-
ance to rollover.
The Fusion and Fusion Hybrid
exemplify the new face of Ford vehi-
cles and demonstrate Fords commit-
ment to safety in all its vehicles across
the globe, said Steve Kenner, Global
Director of the Ford Automotive Safety
Office (ASO).
The new five-star safety award from
NHTSA is in addition to the 2013
Fusion being named a Top Safety
Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety (IIHS) last month. The
Top Safety Pick + designation is the
highest rating the organization has for
vehicle safety.
The all-new Fusion features the
Personal Safety SystemTM with new
safety belt technologies and front
impact airbags.
The Personal Safety SystemTM is a
network of components that work
together to tailor the deployment of
the front airbags during frontal colli-
sions. The restraint control module
(RCM) translates information collected
by the front crash sensors, front out-
board safety belt buckle switches, driv-
er-seat track position and passenger
seat weight sensor. Using this informa-
tion, the RCM activates the safety belt
pretensioners and determines how the
dual-stage front airbags will deploy.
This tailored airbag deployment is
based upon system inputs received
about the size, seat track position and
safety belt usage of the front seat
occupants.
The redesigned seat-mounted side
airbags deploy lower in the pelvis area
and incorporate new venting technol-
ogy. The side airbags venting technol-
ogy takes into account the size of the
occupant, and varies the pressure so
smaller occupants receive a lower
pressure.
The tunnel vent is lined up with the
shoulder area of the occupant. On
larger passengers, the shoulder
engages the vent and keeps it from
venting so the gas stays inside the
airbag. On smaller passengers, the
effect is just the opposite: Because the
occupants shoulder is below the vent,
the gas vents out of the airbag.
The drivers airbag uses a reconfig-
ured curve-shaped tether system that
pulls in the lower section to create a
pocket that help to lessen the impact
of the airbag on the drivers chest and
ribs in frontal crashes. Deploying at
the same time is a drivers knee airbag.
The Fusion and Fusion Hybrid boast
leading fuel economy and numerous
technologies that help enhance the
driving experience, reduce stress and
assist the driver. Fusion brings the
broadest selection of fuel-efficient
powertrains in the midsize car seg-
ment. Consumers have the choice of a
pair of EcoBoostfour-cylinder engines,
a normally aspirated four-cylinder
engine, an automatic start stop system
to shut off the engine at stationary
idle, front-wheel drive and all-wheel
drive applications, and a choice
between automatic and manually
shifted six-speed transmissions.
Maneuvering parking lots and trav-
eling open roadways becomes less
stressful with Fusions available sen-
sor-based BLIS (Blind Spot
Information System) with cross-traffic
alert. The system uses radar to identify
and alert the driver if a vehicle is
detected in the vehicles blind spot.
Cross-traffic alert provides audible and
visual alerts if traffic is detected
approaching from the sides, such as
when backing out of a parking space.
Available Active Park Assist makes
parallel parking virtually stress-free.
With the press of a button, the system
detects an available parallel parking
space and automatically steers the
vehicle into the space. Drivers control
only the gas and brake pedals and
transmission gear position.
Other driver assist technologies
available on the Fusion include:
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Rearview Camera
- Hill Start Assist
- Electronic Parking Break

Five Key
Areas to
Pay
Attention
to When
Buying a Home
Compliments of Ed Wohlfiel
Part 1 of 2
Looking for a new home can
be exciting and frustrating. You
can help alleviate the frustra-
tion by paying close attention
to five key areas of the homes
you're considering buying; it
may save you money in the long
run.
There are five areas in homes
that he frequently reports prob-
lems with. They are electrical,
foundation, plumbing, the
attic, and landscaping.
Electrical
Walker says sometimes
homeowners assume with
newer homes that all will work
just fine but that's often not the
case. "I [inspected] a brand new
house -- four years old but the
electrical was all done incor-
rectly," says Walker.
Having a complete home
inspection will help to rule out
any problems and point out any
areas of concern. However,
even as you're browsing homes,
buyers can start to make note of
the key areas that Walker men-
tioned, such as the foundation.
Foundation
Walker says a four-year-old
home he inspected recently was
already showing trouble signs
which could result in a costly
repair project. "It was a model
home. What [the homeowners]
did was plant trees for shade to
make it look really nice, but
they planted the wrong trees
and they're going to crack the
foundation and it's going to cut
the property value down by
$50,000," says Walker.
Walker says in the case of that
home, the trees were causing
micro-fractures in the tile in
various locations of the home.
"As you walk through the
house, 21 feet in and 30 feet
deep, there's just too much root
invasion and it's going to ruin
their tile," explains Walker.
He says some tell-tale signs
with this home were the minor
cracks in the foundation that
were causing a lifting and sepa-
ration of the foundation. Also,
the windows were not opening
and closing properly, "which
means the foundation is mov-
ing."
However, just because you
see cracks doesn't mean there is
a foundation problem. "Most
people don't understand that
there are natural cracks in a
house. That's why when we do
an inspection report we have to
look at it and say 'Okay, this is a
typical crack and this one is an
untypical crack,'" says Walker.
He says some cracks may lead
to other problems while others
won't.
