Ports: Chiefs Take Big Step Forward With Win Over Petoskey

By Andy Sneddon
PETOSKEY When its all

said and done, Cheboygan
may look back on it as a sem-
inal moment under first-year
coach Steve Ernst.
Petoskey cant afford to
look back, not with what the
Northmen face this weekend.
Luke Harrington scored 22
points and Ben Pearson
added 16 Monday as the
Chiefs knocked off the
Northmen, 53-48, in
Petoskeys annual Throwback
Game at the storied Central
School gym.
The win was crucial on
several levels for a
Cheboygan team that
appears to be making big-
time strides under Ernst. It
came three nights after a 60-
57 Straits Area Conference
win over Sault Ste. Marie, and
it came a week after the
Northmen had rallied for a
52-50 win over Cheboygan
on the Chiefs home court,
and it came after Cheboygan
had watched a 21-point half-
time lead dwindle to just
three with under 20 seconds
to play.
Perhaps most importantly,
it was a victory over a pro-
gram against which Ernst
measures his.
From Day 1 when I took
the job in the program we
focused on Petoskey, Ernst
said. Petoskeys everything
for us, and its not even a
league game. And its every-
thing if we want to be a real
program, then its about
beating Petoskey.
Theyre our rivals. Im not
sure were theirs, and theyve
earned that by being such a
great program for so many
years. And thats how we have
to measure ourselves. You
always have to focus on the
best team on your schedule
and hope to beat other peo-
ple along the way, and thats
what weve done.
The loss ended a three-
game win streak for Petoksey,
which found itself in a 35-14
halftime hole after being out-
played and outhustled by an
inspired Cheboygan team.
The lead was 18, 43-25, when
Petoskey closed the third
quarter with an 11-0 spurt to
draw to 43-36. Petoskey twice
crept within three points, the
final time on a Parker Monley
3-pointer with 16 seconds
remaining, but couldnt com-
plete the comeback.
After a Cheboygan
turnover, the Northmen
missed a 3-point attempt
with 5 seconds left,
Harrington rebounded, and
made two pressure-packed
charity tosses with 3 seconds
left to ice it.
Joe LeBlanc finished with
16 points and seven
rebounds to lead Petoskey,
while Parker Monley added
12 points, and Evan
Whitmore had nine points
all in the second half and 10
rebounds.
It was a difficult pill for
Petoskey to swallow, particu-
larly in light of the fact that it
had dominated the recent
series between the longtime
rivals. But the Northmen
have little time to lick their
wounds with two critical Big
North Conference games
looming.
Petoskey, which is 9-4
overall, 5-2 league, plays at
Traverse City West on Friday,
then entertains Cadillac on
Saturday. The Titans entered
the week 4-7, 3-2, while
Cadillac was 7-3, 5-2.
Alpena, which is scheduled
to visit Petoskey on Feb. 21,
entered the week in first
place in the Big North at 5-1.
The Wildcats are 8-1 overall.
The Northmen remain in a
logjam with Cadillac and
West right on Alpenas
heels.
We have two huge games
coming up and we have to be
ready to play for the entire 32
minutes, Petoksey coach
Dennis Starkey said. Its
hard to figure out how we can
be so completely outplayed
in one half, and weve done it
both times against
Cheboygan. It was disap-
pointing. For as well as we
played in the second half --
and I give our kids credit for
getting back into the game
and battling the way we did -
- but we put ourselves in a
spot where it was almost
impossible to win.
You just cant do that
against good basketball
teams like Cheboygan and
expect to win games.
And winning or expect-
ing to win has been a cru-
cial hurdle for the Chiefs
under Ernst, who came to
Cheboygan this season with
a resume of success includ-
ing a trip last season to the
Class D state semifinals with
Lansing Christian.
Theyre used to winning,
and thats a culture, Ernst
said of the Northmen.
Winnings a habit and they
know how to keep playing .
Thats why it was huge for us
as we try to establish how to
finish games.
We had a good win
against the Sault the other
night which I think helped
us, but weve got a long way
to go in making good late-
game decisions. Weve got to
decide what type of program
and team we want to be. Do
we just want to compete and
be a good sparring partner
for people? Or do we want to
move this thing in the direc-
tion where the funs at?
Our guys havent been in
this position. I have one var-
sity starter returning and two
varsity players returning. You
have to learn sometimes
under fire and we have to be
hardened by fire. And I think
were learning that.
The Chiefs have their own
league-championship aspi-
rations, and they entered the
week 4-1 and in first place in
the Straits Area Conference,
one-half game ahead of sec-
ond-place St. Ignace.
Cheboygan was scheduled to
play host to Newberry on
Wednesday, and Rudyard on
Friday. Both are SAC games.
And while the win over
Petoskey was indeed a
benchmark, a thrilling 60-57
home victory three nights
prior over the Sault is one
that may help carry
Cheboygan to the league
championship.
The Chiefs overcame an
eight-point fourth-quarter
deficit in avenging a 77-37
loss earlier this season to the
Blue Devils. Harrington
scored 25 points, while
Pearson finished with 21.
Petoskey entered Mondays
contest coming off an emo-
tional win of its own, a 52-47
overtime victory at Traverse
City Central.
The Northmen outscored
the Trojans, 5-0, in the extra
session. LeBlanc and Monley
scored 12 points apiece to
lead Petoskey. Nick
Mesnards putback with
under 25 seconds to play tied
it at 47-all and sent it to over-
time.
Petoskey will induct its
Class of 2014 into the
Petoskey Athletic Hall of
Fame at halftime of Saturday
nights game with Cadillac. It
is a girls-boys doubleheader
with the girls game tipping
off at 6 p.m., followed by the
boys.
Three all-time Northmen
greats, Jerry Cosens, Marty
Hill and Mike Doctor, are to
be enshrined in the hall.

GAYLORD In an eventful
four-day stretch for the
Gaylord girls of coach Frank
Hamilla, they won three
games and pushed their
record to 9-3 overall and a
sparking 6-0 in the Big North
Conference.
Included in that stretch
was a 63-33 victory over non-
league foe Grayling on the
home floor on Wednesday,
Jan. 29, and back-to-back
wins over Big North foes at
home against Ogemaw (45-
37) on Friday, Jan. 31, and on
the road against Alpena (38-
34) on Saturday, Feb. 1.
The win over Alpena was a
big one, coming on the road
against a tough opponent. It
enabled the Blue Devils to go
undefeated in the first round
of play against all the other
Big North foes and puts the
girls in a pretty good position
to vie for their first-ever Big
North title.
The 38-34 win against the
Wildcats did not come easily.
Neither team was able to
forge much of a lead on the
scoreboard throughout 32
toughly-contested minutes.
The game was tied 9-9 after
the first quarter and Gaylord
trailed 16-15 at the half. In
the third quarter, the Blue
Devils switched defenses
effectively to gain a 27-23
lead and then maintained
the lead the rest of the way.
This was a very close
game all the way through,
Hamilla said. We were down
a point at halftime and came
out the third quarter and
played much better. We start-
ed attacking the basket better
and being a little more
patient on the offensive end
and we did a nice job of
changing up our defenses on
them.
Hamillas decision to
switch defenses in the third
quarter helped to negate
Alpenas height advantage
down low and pave the way
for the come-from-behind
win.
When we would go man-
to-man defense they were
looking to go down low on an
isolation with their height
advantage, so we went to a 3-
2 zone defense and covered
the top of the key where they
would not get an open look
and basically dared the other
girl to shoot from the corner,
Hamilla explained. We did a
nice job of denying the post
with our other low post play-
er. We also went to a 2-2-1
press and our girls anticipat-
ed some of their passes and
got some transition baskets.
Hamilla credited Maddie
Hamilla with having a nice
game offensively and going
strong to the hole. Maddie
made the nets dance to the
tune of 17 points to pace all
scorers in the hard-fought
contest. Super sophomore
Brandi Wagner waxed the
twine for eight points to go
with a team-high five steals
and Lindsey Zaremba
launched eight through the
iron as well.
Lauren Hintz and Sydney
Kassuba each corralled six
rebounds and Kassuba also
recorded four steals.
The Gaylord JV girls of
coach Shelly Curtis, who are
also having a super season,
edged Alpena by a 54-49
margin. Adrienne Edwards
was locked in like a laser
from the charity stripe, going
6-for-6 in the fourth quarter
and if that wasnt enough,
she also made the nets dance
from downtown at a crucial
point to put the Blue Devils
ahead for good. Adrienne
was 8-for-8 from the line for
the game with 11 points.
Casey Korte had the C-Ko
flowing big time once again
at both ends of the floor.
Casey continues to generate
eye-popping stat lines game
after game and Alpena was
no exception as she drained
the nets for 22 points to go
with eight rebounds and
eight steals. Opposing ball
handlers just LOVE being
shadowed by Casey on the
floor.
Gaylord JV team captain
Mallory Marshall made the
twine jump for seven points
and played a typically smart
game. Delaney Eckstein
drained 10 points through
the iron and played great
defense. Maddie Sides
helped the cause as well,
striking for four points.
ON FRIDAY in the 54-37
win at home over Ogemaw,
the swarming Blue Devil
defense engulfed the visiting
Warriors like hovering storm
clouds. The Blue Devils led
10-0 after the first quarter
and managed to hold off an
Ogemaw comeback waged in
the second and third quar-
ters. The game was knotted at
31 going into the fourth
quarter when Hamilla called
for a full-court press and that
led to some turnovers and
transition buckets and some
separation on the scoreboard
down the stretch.
We probably played the
best defense of the season in
the first quarter and held
them scoreless, Hamilla
said. Give Ogemaw credit;
they hit some shots in the
second quarter to cut the
lead to 6 at halftime and tied
it up at 31 going into the
fourth quarter. We went to a
full-court press and got some
turnovers and baskets on
transition and outscored
them 14-6.
Hamilla credited hard-
driving Lindsey Zaremba
with playing her best game
of the season against the
Warriors.
Zaremba was zoned in
from the floor, scoring 16 for
the Blue Devils and she also
generated eight rebounds.
Maddie hit for 12 with two
assists and two steals. The
gritty Kassuba, who got
socked in the eye while bat-
tling ferociously for a loose
ball and left the game for a
while, contributed six boards
and three steals to the
Gaylord cause. Hintz issued
four assists and recorded
three thefts.
We probably didnt play
our best basketball this
weekend but we struck
together and found a way to
pull out two wins, Hamilla
said. Thats a sign of a good
team.
IN the Jan. 29 win over
Grayling, the Blue Devils
pushed to a 20-5 first-quarter
lead to set the tone.
Maddie (12), Lindsey (10)
and Syd (10) were all in dou-
ble digits for the up-tempo
Blue Devils while Brandi blis-
tered the nets for eight and
Sierra Woods also sank eight
and secured eight rebounds
with a solid effort off the
bench.
Sydney Gooding also
helped the cause, grabbing
five boards. Brandi spread
the wealth around, issuing
six assists on the night and
she also generated five steals.
Maddie had three. Assists
and Lauren Hintz was all over
the floor defensively, making
five steals.
The Gaylord JV girls of
coach Shelly Curtis also won
by a 63-42 margin. Versatile
Casey Korte had a near triple-
double once again, canning
19 points with nine boards
while covering the floor like
wet on water defensively and
notching an incredible 12
steals. Adrienne Edwards
rang up 11 points with seven
assists and Delaney Eckstein
dialed in for eight points.
Gaylord (9-3, 6-0) played at
Traverse City Central on
Tuesday, Feb. 4, after this
issue went to press. On
Friday, Feb. 7, the Blue Devils
host Alpena in what should
be another tough battle. On
Tuesday, Feb. 11, Gaylord
plays at the court of non-
league foe Cheboygan.
Blue Devils get best of Grayling, Ogemaw and Alpena
in four-day stretch, remain unbeaten in Big North play

MANCELONA Rick
Duerksen, head coach of the
Mancelona boys varsity bas-
ketball team, knew how
important the matchup with
Ski Valley Conference leader
Bellaire on Friday, Jan. 31,
would be even before tip-off.
If Mancelona won, the
Ironmen, Bellaire and
Onaway would all have one
loss in conference play. If
they lost, theyd be two losses
behind Cardinals and would
need help to win a confer-
ence crown.
Unfortunately, for
Mancelona (8-3 overall, 6-2
conference), its now the lat-
ter after Friday nights 51-49
loss to Bellaire at home.
It was quite a game,
Duerksen said. It was a
tough one to drop.
Neither team could pull
away in the hard-fought con-
test. The visiting Cardinals
held a slim 23-20 lead at half-
time, but the Ironmen bat-
tled back to take a 36-33
advantage heading in the
fourth quarter.
Tied at 49-49 with three
second left in regulation,
Bellaire hit a pair of three
throws to edge ahead.
Mancelonas shot at an upset
ended on a missed half-court
shot Griffin Borst at the
buzzer.
It was kind of a Hail Mary
type of shot, Duerksen said.
The loss doesnt end
Mancelonas shot at a confer-
ence crown, as the Ironmen
will play both Onaway and
Bellaire later this month. But,
it does make it a bit more dif-
ficult.
With being two games
down now, well need some
help to win the conference,
Duerksen. Our fate isnt
completely in our hands.
Well just have to take care
of ourselves and keep win-
ning, and see.
Mancelonas Brandon
Dingman continued his
strong season with a team-
high 21 points, 6 rebounds, 2
assists and 2 steals against
the Cardinals. Borst also had
a solid all-round game for the
Ironmen with 17 points, 7
rebounds and 2 steals.
Other contributors for the
Ironmen included: Logan
Borst with 5 points, 4
rebounds and 3 assists; Justin
Spires with 4 points, 6
rebounds and 3 assists; and
Jake Winstead with 2 points,
3 rebounds and 4 assists.

FIFE LAKE The short-
handed St. Mary boys of
coach Ken Blust put up a
whale of a fight on Friday,
Jan. 31, at the court of rugged
Ski Valley rival Forest Area
but the Warriors were able to
pull away in the second half
and secure a hard-fought 66-
57 triumph.
The hardworking, hustling
Snowbirds, who competed
with just seven players, led
29-28 at halftime but could
not quite stay with the fresh-
er, deeper Warriors in the
third and fourth quarters.
Forest Area outscored the
Snowbirds 16-10 in the deci-
sive third quarter to gain a
lead they would not relin-
quish.
Senior speed-burner Nick
Harrington had a monster
game in the backcourt for St.
Mary, penetrating through
the paint like a freshly honed
knife through parchment.
Harrington slashed and sank
his way to a team-high 21
points with three rebounds
and rangy senior Charles
Strehl continued the out-
standing play hes exhibited
all season long, scoring 17
with nine boards for a near
double-double.
Blust was very pleased
with his teams effort from
top to bottom. Strong-armed
Orion Beningo brought it
hard under the boards, scor-
ing eight with seven boards,
and Brendan Nowicki
brought his blue collar as
well, scoring six with seven
rebounds. Jack Lochinski
launched five through the
iron to help the Snowbird
cause.
Going in with only seven
players, we knew we'd have
our work cut out for us,
Blust reported. Nick
Harrington attacked the rim
as well as I've seen all season
by any one player. His best
game of the season by far. He
took some of the load off
Charles, who continues to be
constant.
Brendan Nowicki had a
strong performance in the
paint, tallying some good
minutes. And Orion Beningo
continues to develop; the
work and effort has always
been there, just that the stats
are now starting to appear
more prevalent.
St. Mary played host to
familiar rival Johannesburg-
Lewiston on Wednesday, Feb.
5. This Friday, Feb. 7, the
Snowbirds have another
tough league fight as Onaway
comes calling. On Monday,
Feb. 10, St. Mary plays at
Boyne Falls.
Johannesburg-Lewiston 55
Pellston 50
JOHANNESBURG The
young Johannesburg-
Lewiston boys of coach Troy
Huff pushed their record to
5-6 overall and 4-5 in the Ski
Valley with a well-played 55-
50 decision over visiting
Pellston on Monday, Feb. 3.
The Cardinals were able to
maintain a slim lead on the
scoreboard in the fourth
quarter with accurate free-
throw shooting courtesy of
Lights Out Logan Huff and
Brandon Huff. Nate Fox and
Brandon Huff turned in their
typical blue-collar effort
inside. Coalton Huff turned
up the heart defensively and
Kye Sundberg, Choo-Choo
Chad Garton and freshman
Spencer White provided their
usual energy off the bench.
Tanner Keller canned 16 to
pace Pellston, which fell to 3-
8 overall and 3-6 in the
league with its second loss in
four days to J-L. Conner
Kilpatrick contributed 12
points for the hardworking
Hornets.
J-L also edged Pellston 61-
57 at the court of the Hornets
on Friday, Jan. 31. Will Seldon
struck for 19 points to pace
Pellston.
The Hornets (3-8, 3-6)
played host to Mancelona on
Wednesday, Feb. 5. On
Friday, Feb. 7, they play at
Inland Lakes and on
Wednesday, Feb. 12, they are
home against Central Lake.
J-L (5-6, 4-5) played at St.
Mary on Wednesday, Feb. 5.
The Cardinals travel to Forest
Area this Friday, Feb. 7, in a
much-anticipated rematch
of a game that J-L lost in
overtime in Johannesburg
the first time around.
Mackinaw City 64
Ellsworth 40
ELLSWORTH The
Mackinaw City boys of coach
Austin Krieg pushed their
record to 10-2 overall and 6-1
in the Northern Lakes
Conference with a 64-40 tri-
umph at Ellsworth on
Monday.
Noah Morse nailed 13 to
lead a balanced scoring
ledger for the Comets and
Jacob Bell rang up 10 points.
Carlson Hartman was also
hot from the floor, hitting for
eight while Jonah Robbins
recorded six, Zach Smith
struck for five and Dakota
Edy dialed in for four.
Mack City (10-2, 6-1)
played host to Alanson on
Wednesday, Feb. 5. This
Friday, Feb. 7, the Comets
have the HUGE rematch at
home with Boyne Falls.
Inland Lakes 51
Central Lake 49
CENTRAL LAKE The
Inland Lakes boys of coach
Joe Mahoney won their sec-
ond straight game on Friday,
Jan. 31, at the court of Ski
Valley rival Central Lake, edg-
ing the Trojans in a tense,
thrilling battle by a 51-49
margin.
Sweet-shooting sopho-
more Mike OConnor helped
put the O in the Bulldog
Offense as he drained the
nets for 16 points to help I-
Lakes improve to 2-6 on the
season and follow up the win
over St. Mary with the win at
Central Lake.
Jacob Brendly also helped
the I-Lakes cause, jamming
nine points through the iron,
and dependable Andrew
Dufek dialed home for eight
points and also hauled in five
rebounds.
I-Lakes drew a tough
assignment on Wednesday,
Feb. 5, traveling to the court
of unbeaten Bellaire.

GAYLORD The Gaylord
boys of coach Tim ORourke
turned in a solid effort on the
home floor on Tuesday, Jan.
28, against St. Ignace and fell
at home to Big North power
Alpena on Saturday, Feb. 1.
Gaylord owned a 3-5 record
after splitting the two games.
In the game with St.
Ignace, the Blue Devils
burned the nets en route to
an impressive 69-52 victory,
one of the best 32-minute
showings the Gaylord boys
have had in recent seasons.
Gaylord used a balanced
scoring effort and a swarm-
ing, hustling defense to build
a double-digit lead through
three quarters. The Saints
battled back to trim the lead
to six points but the Blue
Devils held off the comeback
and pulled away in the final
minutes.
Junior wing Collin Watters
was a two-way force for the
Blue Devils in the nice win,
pouring in 12 points and
dominating play inside,
pulling down 12 rebounds.
Sophomore sharpshooter
Michael Dipzinski, one of
several promising under-
classmen coming up through
the ranks for the Blue Devils,
drained the nets for eight
points, including a crowd-
pleasing long-range bomb
just before the halftime
buzzer. Junior guard Marcus
ORourke, the Blue Devil pit
bull in sneakers, tallied seven
with a typical blue-collar
effort.
Junior Steven Fitzek fired
in six points to go with five
rebounds and three steals.
Josh DeGraw, Sam Rinke and
Zach Pasternak also hit key
buckets down the stretch and
helped turn up the heat
defensively throughout the
game.
The Gaylord JV also won by
a 70-49 decision as the J
Man, Jakovan Pryor-
McCovery, turned in a
sparkling showing, making
the nets dance for a whop-
ping 41 points. Jack Korte
also helped the cause of the
young Blue Devils, canning
13, and Jacob Freeman fired
in nine. The young Blue
Devils improved to 6-1 with
the win.
ON SATURDAY, the Blue
Devils dropped a 78-44 deci-
sion to high-powered
Alpena. The Wildcats, who
are having a super season,
improved to 8-1 overall and
5-1 in the Big North.
Cory Tucker scored 19 to
pace the Wildcats, who hit 10
shots from beyond the arc in
the contest. Andy Merwede
made 16 for Alpena.
The Gaylord JV pushed to a
7-1 record with a hard-fought
57-50 victory. The Gaylord
freshmen boys won a thriller,
76-74.
ON MONDAY, the Blue
Devils traveled to Glen Lake
to face the talented Lakers in
a non-league tilt. The game
was tied 23-23 at the half
before the Lakers pulled
away in the third quarter en
route to a 61-50 win.
Zach Pasternak produced

Devils.

ONAWAY The Onaway
boys of coach Eddy
Szymoniak are in the midst
of an outstanding season,
one of the best that Onaway
has had in quite a while. With
senior strong men Joe
OBradovich and Carlos
Bautista as a formidable 1-2
punch, the Cardinals have
posted a 10-2 record at the
time of this writing with an 8-
1 log in the Ski Valley.
Fueled by OBradovich and
Bautista attacking the iron
and deadly Andrew Prow
landing long range missiles,
Onaway won two games in a
three-day stretch last week
and then turned in another
strong performance on
Monday of this week, beating
Central Lake 72-53.
ON WEDNESDAY, Jan. 30,
the Cardinals of Onaway vis-
ited the Cardinals of
Johannesburg-Lewiston in
what turned out to be an
intense, physical 32-minute
war between two teams that
flat out didnt want to lose to
the other.
The young, hustling
Johannesburg Cardinals of
coach Troy Huff put up a
whale of a fight but in the end
it was the savvy of the senior-
rich Onaway team that made
the difference in a 66-58 vic-
tory.
It was a nice win for
Onaway to get, coming on
the heels of the disappoint-
ing loss at Bellaire, and it
kept the Cardinals in the
hunt for at least a share of the
SVC title.
Onaway trailed early
against the ramped-up J-L
Cardinals but stormed back
to score 48 points in the third
and fourth quarters and
finally overtake the home
team.
OBradovich, who has
been a beast all season long,
bruised the twine for a team-
high 20 points to go with
eight boards and four assists.
OBradovich put an exclama-
tion point on the hard-fought
win with a thunder slam on a
breakaway in the final
minute of the contest.
Slashing sophomore guard
Joe Sigsby stoked the nets for
12 points, including three
connections from beyond
the arc, and he issued four
assists and recorded three
steals. Backcourt mate Prow
was poison from the perime-
ter also, making the nets
dance four times from down-
town to account for all of his
12 points.
Chris Cleaver and Pat
Dunn each canned eight
points for Onaway and
Cleaver covered the floor like
carpeting on defense, mak-
ing five steals.
For J-L, it was super sopho-
more Logan Huff lighting it
up as hes done all season,
putting a game-high
22points on the board to help
fuel the Cardinal offense.
Spencer White, a freshman
and one of several promising
underclassmen on the J-L
roster this season, waxed the
twine for 12 points, including
a trey in the final minutes to
bring J-L within six points.
Brandon Huff hit for 10 to
join Logan and Spencer in
double digits. Kyle Sundberg
and Nate Fox each fired in six
points. Coalton Huff and
Chad Gorton each churned
out four.
ON FRIDAY, Jan. 31,
Onaway traveled north of the
bridge to take on perennially
tough St. Ignace and earn a
tense 68-62 decision.
Bautista turned up the vol-
ume on the bash-and-crash
meter for this one, taking the
ball hard to the hole and bat-
tling even harder for every
loose ball under the glass.
The rugged senior scored 21
with 12 rebounds for a dou-
ble-double.
OBradovich drew Saint
defenders like magnets dur-
ing the game and had to fight
for any open look at the
bucket but the sturdy senior
was an unstoppable force
inside, cleaning the glass like
Windex while securing 18
rebounds. OBradovich also
covered the floor defensively
like wet on water, making six
steals, and he joined Bautista
in double figures with 12
points on a night when every
one of his shots was contest-
ed by swarming Saints.
Prow produced 11 points
with his usual precision,
making three connections
from 3-point land, and the
shifty Sigsby struck from the
point for nine points with
five assists and five steals.
ON MONDAY in the 72-53
win over Central Lake, the
Cardinals moved the ball effi-
ciently for their 10th win of
the campaign.
OBradovich brought his
usual fire, accounting for 20
points, nine boards and six
assists. Prow was also on fire
from beyond the arc, dialing
from long range six times
while hitting for 18 points.
Bautista busted the nets for
12 points.
Onaway (10-2, 8-1) played
host to Central Lake on
Wednesday, Feb. 5.

SAULT STE. MARIE The
Cheboygan High School girls
basketball team hit a road-
block of sorts on Saturday in
Sault Ste. Marie.
Ann Diepenhorst scored 17
points as the Blue Devils
handed the Chiefs a 46-26
Straits Area Conference loss.
The Sault improved to 9-3
overall, 3-1 league. The
Chiefs, who entered the
game having won six of their
previous eight starts, slipped
to 6-6, 1-4.
The Chiefs were scheduled
to play host to Petoskey in a
non-league game on
Tuesday.
Sault Ste. Marie jumped to
a 13-3 first-quarter lead on
the Chiefs, and by halftime
were in charge, 25-10.
Cheboygan never got its
deficit under 10 points the
rest of the way.
"We came out flat, and
were down 10 before we
knew it," Cheboygan coach
Jason Purcell said. "We
clawed back in it a little, but
then they made another run
before the half.
"It was disappointing for
us. We spent a lot of time get-
ting ready for this one, and
we've been playing pretty
good basketball. The Sault
just never let us get comfort-
able. We had a hard time
getting into our offensive sets
and executing. Credit the
Sault for their defense."
Bridget Blaskowski and
Autumn Hudak scored seven
points each for the Chiefs.
Northmen drop three
The Petoskey High School
girls basketball team
dropped three games last
week, two in heartbreaking
fashion.
The week began with a 41-
39 non-league loss at home
to Charlevoix. That was fol-
lowed by Big North
Conference losses to Traverse
City West and then Traverse
City Central.
West downed the
Northmen, 37-27, and
Central nipped Petoskey, 36-
35. Petoskey entered the
week 1-11 overall their one
victory came over T.C.
Central in December and 1-
6 in the league.
The Northmen were
scheduled to play at
Cheboygan in a non-league
game on Tuesday, then closes
the week with two more Big
North games. On Thursday,
they entertain T.C. West and
on Saturday will play host to
Cadillac.
West entered the week 4-
10, 4-4, while Cadillac was
11-3, 7-1. The Vikings are in
second place in the league,
one game behind Gaylord in
the loss column.
Saturdays game with
Cadillac is a girls-boys dou-
bleheader with the girls tip-
ping off at 6 p.m. at Petoskey
High School, followed by the
boys game. At halftime of the
boys game, the Petoskey
Athletic Hall of Fame Class of
2014 will be inducted. Three
former Northmen greats,
Mike Doctor, Jerry Cosens
and Marty Hill will be
enshrined in the hall.
The Northmen led Central,
34-28, with a minute to play,
but were outscored 7-1 down
the stretch as the Trojans
scored the dramatic come-
from-behind win.
Callie Bartkowiak hit a 3-
pointer and Eliza McCall
converted an and-one to put
the Trojans in the lead.
Bartkowiak finished with
12 points to lead Central.
Hannah Cook scored 11
points to pace Petoskey.
Kimmy Bilinski scored 20
points to lead the Titans in
their win over the Northmen.
Cook and Kati Lewis scored
eight points each to pace
Petoskey.
Madeline Boss broke a 39-
all tie with nine seconds
remaining to lift Charlevoix
to its 41-39 win over the
Northmen. Lewis finished
with 14 points, matching
Boss for game-high honors.
The Northmen led by 15, 22-
7, at one point in the game
before the Rayders surged.

JOHANNESBURG The St.
Mary and Johannesburg-
Lewiston girls did battle for
the second time this season
on Tuesday of last week and
for the second time it was the
state-ranked Snowbirds of
coach Dan Smith finding a
way to win.
St. Mary, ranked fourth in
Class D, pushed its record to
11-1 and 8-0 in the Ski Valley
with a hard-fought 40-33
decision over the rugged,
relentless Cardinals of coach
Heather Huff. J-L slipped to
10-3 overall and 6-3 in the
league and is now in a battle
for second place in the stand-
ings with a very good Bellaire
team.
The Jan. 28 game at
Johannesburg was also the
annual Rivals Rally for a
Cure contest with the play-
ers on both sides wearing
pink as part of the fundraiser
for cancer research. The good
news is that the rivalry game,
which drew a packed house,
raised more than $14,000 for
the Otsego Memorial
Hospital Oncology Center.
St. Mary senior guard Kari
Borowiak, playing now in the
final months of her brilliant
four-year prep career, was a
difference-maker once again
in the big win at
Johannesburg. Kari canned
18 points while using her
ball-handling skills and floor
generalship to help the
Snowbirds slow down the
hard-driving, in-your-face
Cardinals.
After the game, Coach
Smith lauded Borowiaks
cool, calm and efficient play
while navigating in the fur-
nace of J-Ls heated defensive
attack. For the game, St. Mary
only turned the ball over
eight times, a remarkable feat
against a ball-hawking
defense as tough and quick
as the Cardinals.
The Snowbirds, fueled by
Borowiaks hot hand from 3-
point land and the tough
inside play of long-armed
sophomore Bekah Myler, cre-
ated some separation on the
scoreboard in the second
quarter to take a 22-12 lead at
intermission.
J-L gamely battled back in
the third and fourth quarters
but the double-digit halftime
deficit proved too big a hole
to recover from. Julia
Nieman, who played a whale
of a game for J-L, helped to
fuel the comeback effort with
her shooting from the floor
and the free throw line along
with senior Brittany
Cherwinski, who has been as
reliable as the times tables in
her stellar hardwood career.
Borowiak put a dagger into
the heart of the J-L comeback
attempt, however, with a
clutch 3-pointer at the
buzzer ending the third quar-
ter. She went on to score
seven points in the fourth
quarter to help keep J-L at
arms length.
Myler added some muscle
to the St. Mary offense, scor-
ing 12 to join Borowiak in
double figures. Borowiak
issued six assists in addition
to her point production and
savvy play.
Cherwinski tallied nine to
lead the Cardinals and soph-
omore Maddie Showerman
also showed up strong, sink-
ing eight and pulling down
eight rebounds. Nieman
nailed six points and hard-
nosed Madison Ewing
recorded three steals.
St. Mary won the JV game
36-24 as Averi Bebble busted
the nets for 14 and Alex
Hunter was on target for 12
points.
St. Mary went on to post a
43-31 victory over gritty
Onaway (see report on this
game in Girls Hoops
roundup) on Thursday, Jan.
30, and a 66-13 decision over
Forest Area on Monday, Feb.
3.
In the win over Forest Area,
Borowiak blistered the twine
for 25 points and Danica
Bebble dialed in for nine.
J-L (10-3, 6-3) faced anoth-
er big league contest on
Tuesday, Feb. 4, at the court
of stubborn Bellaire. The
Cardinals are home this
Friday, Feb. 7, against
Pellston in a makeup game
and are home again Monday,
Feb. 10, in a makeup game
with Tawas.
St. Mary (13-1, 10-0) enter-
tains Pellston this Thursday,
Feb. 6, and plays at Central
Lake on Monday, Feb. 10, and
at Mancelona on Tuesday,
Feb. 11.

MACKINAW CITY The
Mackinaw City girls of coach
Adam Stefanski pushed their
record to a solid 10-3 overall
and 8-1 in the Northern
Lakes Conference with a
hard-fought 39-31 victory
over scrappy, determined
Harbor Light Christian on
Thursday, Jan. 30.
The host Comets needed
the win to remain in con-
tention for the conference
title this season. The Comets
only league loss has been to
talented Boyne Falls. The
teams play a rematch this
Thursday, Feb. 6, in a game
that will likely decide if the
Loggers win the NLC title
outright or if the Comets
earn a share of it. The Comets
are the defending champs.
Brooke Yoder blistered the
nets for 12 points to lead in
the scoring department for
Mack City and versatile
Lauren Bell chimed in with
another outstanding per-
formance, making the twine
twitch to the tune of 10
points to go with nine
rebounds and nine assists.
Brooke also had a big night
distributing the ball, issuing
seven assists.
Lily Alexander had a sweet
night as well, launching
seven points through the
iron and collecting five
boards.

ONAWAY The St. Mary
girls of coach Dan Smith got
the win at the court of stub-
born Onaway on Thursday,
Jan. 30, edging the hardwork-
ing Cardinals by a 43-31 mar-
gin.
The Onaway girls of coach
Marty Mix put up a stiff chal-
lenge, trimming the lead to
just six points with less than
three minutes remaining in
regulation. The fourth-
ranked Snowbirds improved
to a sparkling 12-1 overall
and 9-0 in the Ski Valley while
the Cardinals fell to 6-7 and
4-6.
Stellar senior guard Kari
Borowiak paced the
Snowbirds once again, stok-
ing the nets for a game-high
22 points, including a clutch
3-pointer late in the contest
to help St. Mary salt the game
away. Long-armed junior
center Bekah Myler brought
it, too, making 15 points.
Erika Price was right on
target for Onaway once
again, producing 19 points
for the resilient Cardinals.
Lexi Szymoniak also turned
in a solid showing, securing
eight points and battling
hard inside, hauling in 10
rebounds.

GAYLORD The Gaylord
freshman boys of coach
Jeremiah Young prevailed at
home in a tight one Saturday
night, edging Big North foe
Alpena by a 78-74 margin.
Logan Mahn was locked in
like radar all night long, lead-
ing all scorers with 30 points
for Gaylord. Levi Irish
launched 17 for the Blue
Devils while Keith Mench
and Daniel Goodale generat-
ed seven points apiece and
Shane Duncan, Lucas
DeForge, and Brad Ames
each fired in four points.
Alpena got off to a big lead
to start the game but Gaylord
took advantage of a few mis-
cues in the second quarter
and trailed by seven at half-
time of the high-scoring bat-
tle.
Gaylord knocked down a
whopping 26 free throws,
with nine coming in the final
quarter of the game. The
game had multiple lead
changes and was a back-and-
forth battle. Alpena's size
made it difficult on Gaylord's
forwards but the Blue Devil's
speed outmatched Alpena in
the end.
Gaylord played T.C. Central
on Tuesday, Feb. 4. The
young Blue Devils play at
Alpena this Friday, Feb. 7,
with a 6 p.m. tip off. On
Tuesday, Feb. 11, they are
home against the Sault.

TRAVERSE CITY The
Traverse Bay Reps hockey
team participated with
Traverse City Central in the
inaugural Veterans Cup High
School Challenge in Traverse
City on Saturday, Feb. 1. The
game, which will be an annu-
al event, raised more than
$1,000 for veterans groups
through admissions, raffles
and donations.
The Trojans jumped out to
a 3-0 lead and finally pre-
vailed 4-2 over the stubborn
Reps.
A first-period tally by cagy
Cam Givens and second-
period goals from Rhys Adle
and Cooper Marshall gave
the Trojans their three-goal
advantage.
The Reps answered with a
ringing goal from tenacious
Trevor Apsey goal with an
assist from Jakson Drake got
the Reps on the board with 32
seconds left in the period to
trim the lead to 3-1 going
into the second intermission.
The players for both sides,
who all wore camouflage
uniforms in honor of the vet-
erans, remained on the
bench after the period to
applaud all the veterans in
attendance. There was also
moment of silence for the
deceased veterans followed
by the playing of TAPS.
The Trojans went ahead 4-
1 early in the third period
when Andrew Froese found
the back of the net.
Dangerous Andrew
Dzierwa drilled a laser for the
Reps with an enterprising
assist from Travis Kirk with
13:01 left to make the final
score 4-2.
The Reps also engaged
Manistee in a 3-3 tie on
Wednesday, Jan. 30, and
defeated Gaylord 8-0 at the
Kaliseum in Kalkaska on
Friday, Jan. 31.
The Reps traveled to
Lakeshore Arena in
Ludington to take on
Manistee. The Chippewas
scored with 15 seconds left in
the opening period to take a
1-0 lead into intermission
and added a goal with 9:41
left in the second period to
go up 2-0 before a power play
blast from Josh Hill got the
Reps within a goal. Chase
Joppich and Zack Bargy
assisted on the goal.
Garrett Diola dialed up a
sweet pass to assist Joppich
for the tying goal with 52 sec-
onds left in the second peri-
od of the seesaw affair.
Manistee retook the lead
with a goal at the 9:18 mark
in the third but Duke Angers
delivered an unassisted tally
for the Reps with 6:30 left in
regulation to tie the score at 3
and that would be the final
score as neither team would
score again in regulation or
an eight-minute overtime
period. Claire Huhta stood
tall in the nets as she stopped
17 of the 20 shots directed at
her for the Reps.
On Friday, Jan. 31, the Reps
hosted a young, energetic
Gaylord team and the Blue
Devils put up a battle in the
first period and trailed just 1-
0 after an Apsey goal with an
assist from Kirk put the Reps
on the board.
The Reps exploded for
seven goals in the second
period, however, to end the
game by mercy rule at 8-0 in
favor of Bay Area after two
periods. Bargy scored twice
for the Reps in the middle
period, with Kirk, Hill, Jakson
Drake, John VanRaalte and RJ
Deneweth all adding a goal
for the Reps.

GRAYLING The Grayling
boys varsity basketball team
seemed able to do everything
but score consistently in a
home loss, 66-51, to Lake
Michigan Conference foe Elk
Rapids on Friday, Jan. 31.
After building a 28-20
advantage at halftime, the
visiting Elks (10-3-1 overall,
6-1-1 conference) started to
edge even further in front by
outscoring Grayling (6-5
overall, 2-5 conference) in
the third quarter, 21-13.
Our kids really worked
hard tonight in our press,
said Grayling head coach
Rich Moffit. We were able to
force Elk Rapids into 22
turnovers, which is a plus.
(But) the story of the game
was our inability to score, he
added. We were 3-of-19
from the arc and 20-of-64
from the field. We had good
looks but we need to put the
ball in the hoop.
Tyler McClanahan was the
only Viking in double figures
against the Elks, tallying 13
points, 1 rebound and 2
steals.
Peyton Zigila and Justice
Junttila each hit for 9 points
for the Vikings, as well as get-
ting 4 rebounds and 2 steals
apiece. Zigila also handed
out 2 assists
Other contributors for
Grayling included: Scout
Tobin with 8 points, 3 boards
and 2 steals; Carson
Burmeister with 4 points, 2
rebounds, 2 steals and 3
assists; Matt Burrell with 4
points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, 1
assist and 1 blocked shot;
Geoff Wilson with 2 points
and 2 rebounds; Michael
Branch with 2 points, 4
boards and 2 steals; Mason
Papendick with 2 rebounds
and 1 blocked shot; Darin
Nicholas with 1 steal and 1
assist; and Scott Wakeley
with 1 assist.
Grayling 81
Houghton Lake 66
The visiting Vikings used a
third-quarter blitz to top
Houghton Lake, 81-66, in a
non-conference clash on
Tuesday, Jan. 28.
Grayling had just a one-
point lead, 27-26, over the
host Bobcats at intermission.
But that changed after half-
time, as the Vikings dominat-
ed the third quarter, 25-12.
We did an outstanding job
of getting our transition
game going, Moffit said. We
ran our lanes hard and got
open looks at the basket.
Good team win.
Tobin propelled Grayling
with a team-high 20 points, 4
rebounds, 2 steals, 2 assists
and 1 blocked shot.
Scout Tobin was out-
standing, his coach added.
He knocked down shots and
played with a ton of confi-
dence.
Tobin had plenty of sup-
port, with three other Vikings
hitting for double digits.
Junttila had a double-double
of 15 points, 15 rebounds, 2
steals and 1 blocked shot,
while Zigila added 13 points,
3 boards, 1 steal and 1 assist.
Branch chipped in 12 points,
4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1
assist in the win.
Also contributing for
Grayling were: Burmeister
with 7 points, 4 rebounds, 2
steals and 3 assists; Burrell
with 7 points, 3 rebounds, 3
steals and 4 assists;
McClanahan with 2 points, 3
boards, 1 steal and 7 assists;
Emmett Helsel with 4
rebounds and 1 blocked shot;
Zane Pittman with 2
rebounds; Papendick and
Tony Stankovski with 1
rebound each; Gunner
Metzer with 1 assist; and
Nicholas with 1 steal.

Devils outscore Ogemaw on Friday, fall to
Alpena on Saturday for first loss of season
GAYLORD The Gaylord
freshmen girls of coach Jessi
Matelski split a pair of Big
North games over the week-
end, outscoring visiting
Ogemaw Heights 54-15 on
Friday, Jan. 31, and dropping
a 37-26 decision to rugged
Alpena on Saturday.
It was the first loss of the
season for the young Blue
Devils, who were 10-1 fol-
lowing the two weekend
games.
In the win over Ogemaw, it
was Katelyn Putman putting
up solid numbers as she
secured 17 points with three
assists and covered the floor
like syrup on pancakes
defensively, notching five
steals. Savannah Krone con-
nected for 10 points and was
also a force defensively with
four steals while Molly
Hamilla hit for nine and
Kendyl Jarski, Skyler Wickert
and Taylor Harding each
struck for six.
This group continues to
amaze me with how well
they work together, coach
Matelski said after the
Ogemaw game. Not one
person on the team is self-
ish, they always are looking
for that one extra pass;
which, i believe, is the main
reason for our 10-0 season
so far.
In Saturdays game against
Alpena, the young Blue
Devils struggled to find an
offensive rhythm against the
swarming Wildcat defense.
Kendyl Jarski put some jolt
into the offense, finishing
with 13 points, and Katelyn
Putman put seven on the
board.
Gaylord played at Traverse
City Central on Tuesday, Feb.
4. On Friday, Feb. 7, the Blue
Devils have a much-antici-
pated rematch at home with
Alpena. Tip off is 6 p.m.

MANCELONA The
Mancelona girls varsity bas-
ketball team made their lone
game of the week count,
with a dominating 62-28 win
over non-conference foe
Ellsworth on Thursday, Jan.
30.
Weather played a role for
the Lady Ironmen (5-6 over-
all), who got some extra rest
due to a pair of other games
last week being canceled.
Mancelona took control of
the game early, holding the
visiting Lancers scoreless in
the first quarter and taking
an 18-0 lead. The gap only
grew by halftime, with the
Lady Ironmen in front by 26
points, 33-7.
Eileene Naniseni power
the Lady Ironmen with a
double-double, hitting for 19
points, 10 rebounds and 4
steals in the win.
Mancelona also had two
other cagers with double fig-
ures. Tyra Oetting tallied 13
points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist
and 6 steals, while Sara
Hittle chipped in 12 points, 7
assist.
Other contributors for
Mancelona included: Emily
Nixon with 7 points, 9
rebounds, 4 steals, 2 assists
and 1 blocked shot; Ashley
Joseph with 4 points, 1
rebound and 1 steal; Bekky
Piatt with 3 points, 1 assist
and 1 blocked shot; Megan
Morris with 2 points, 1
rebound, 4 steals and 1
assist; Tori Reicheldefer with
2 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals
and 1 assist; and Jill
Smigielski with 2 points, 2
assists.
As the season enters its
second half, at least one of
the games another clash
with Ellsworth set for last
Monday, Jan. 27 may not
be made up at all, depending
on scheduling constraints.
But last Wednesdays road
game versus Pellston is now
slated for Monday, Feb. 17.
Mancelona also has a make-
up game at home against
Inland Lakes set for
Saturday, Feb. 15.
Report compiled by
Buckland News Service.
American Beech (Fagis
grandifolia) is a very impor-
tant part of Michigans
forests. While the tree is val-
ued economically for fuel-
wood, plywood, flooring,
and furniture, it is also very
important for wildlife. Bears,
grouse, bluejays, squirrels,
and other small mammals
use the tree for mast (food).
Because beech is so preva-
lent in Michigan, it is impor-
tant for us to think about the
repercussions if the species
were to become threatened.
A recent tree disease cur-
rently sweeping through
Michigan right now is the
beech bark disease. Beech
bark disease is a combina-
tion of an insect infestation
and a fungal infection that
cause mortality and defor-
mities in beech trees. During
the initial wave of infection,
beech trees become infested
with a scale insect
(Cryptococcus fagisuga) that
secretes a woolly wax like
substance that appears as
white dots along the bark of
the beech tree. When the
insect begins to feed, it
exposes the tree to a fungal
pathogen (Nectria coccinea
var. faginata). After the fun-
gal exposure, widespread
mortality occurs. The few
remaining beech trees are
typically unable to produce
seeds due to the fungal
infection. This leaves stump
sprouting as the primary
means of beech regenera-
tion. Unfortunately, the
seedlings and saplings that
grow are genetically identi-
cal to the stump, meaning
that they are very likely to
become infected with the
disease again. When these
trees begin to grow, they typ-
ically become infected with
a different scale insect
(Xylococculus betulae) that
causes cankers- spot defor-
mities on the bark of the
tree. The cankers create an
avenue for the tree to
become infected with the
beech bark disease scale and
fungus. These new trees are
very unsightly and are not
typically economically
viable except for firewood.
Unfortunately, the beech
bark disease is very difficult
to control. On large
acreages, control is extreme-
ly costly and ineffective.
Salvage cutting is the best
way to reduce economic
losses. For small acreages
and ornamental trees, insec-
ticides can sometimes be
applied to prevent the scale
insect from initially infesting
the tree. Some natural resist-
ance in certain trees has
been recorded, but the
results are very spotty with
few and far between.1
Some people may think
they can wait out this storm
and remain unaffected by
this emerging problem. Sad
to say, this disease has been
around for a very long time,
and it is unlikely that there
will be a true recovery. Beech
bark disease was originally
recorded in the United
States as far back as the early
1900s. By 1932, the disease
had steadily killed much of
the mature beech in Maine
and the eastern Canadian
provinces. By 1980, all of the
New England and some
other northeastern states
had been affected by
extreme mortality. Today,
these areas are characterized
by poor quality, stunted,
cankered beech trees. Very,
very few mature beech trees
still exist in those areas. In
some places, people even
spray herbicide to prevent
the growth of beech.1
If you are concerned
about your beech trees and
wish to learn more and dis-
cuss your management
options, please contact your
district forester at your local
conservation district. For
Otsego, Crawford, and
Roscommon counties, your

LAKE CITY The Mio boys
of coach Dennis Kann earned
a big non-league victory on
the road on Tuesday, Feb. 4,
defeating Lake City 53-35
with a cobra-quick defensive
effort and efficient ball
movement.
The Thunderbolts, who
improved to 11-1 overall,
broke open a close game with
a 10-2run over the final five
minutes of the second quar-
ter, increasing their lead from
18-15 to 28-17 going into
halftime. Silky smooth soph-
omore wing Big Ben Lubitz
ignited the run with a jumper
from the lane followed by a
mid-court steal and a thun-
derous dunk, the first of two
he would have in the contest.
The Bolts increased the
lead to 38-25 in the third
quarter and pulled away
some more in the fourth
quarter.
Lubitz lubricated the twine
for a game-high 16 points
and he was joined in double
digits by senior forward
Bryce DeGrammont with 15,
super-quick senior guard
Seth Thomey with 10 and
senior strong man Aaron
Georgieff with 10.
Georgieff and Lake City big
man Zach Redman squared
off and waged a bruising bat-
tle under the boards. Thomey
and spitfire guard Joshua Fox
handled the ball efficiently
for the Bolts along with sen-
ior Bryson Devers. Trenton
Vaughn came off the bench
to provide strength inside
against the physically tough
Trojans.
Sophomore Lucas Marion
paced Lake City (9-4) with 12
points and Kevin Kunkel tal-
lied 11.
Lake City won the JV game
59-24. Jacob Lentz launched
17 of Mios 24 points in the
game.
ON FRIDAY, Jan. 31, the
Bolts defeated Posen 65-41 as
Lubitz poured in 24 points.
The win forged a tie between
Mio and Posen for second
place in the North Star
League standings with one
loss apiece. Hillman, the only
team to defeat Mio so far, is
the front-runner.
Lubitz, DeGrammont lead balanced scoring ledger for
Bolts as they push their record to 11-1

HARBOR SPRINGS The
Gaylord Gators swim team
participated the Harbor
Springs Winterblast
Invitational on Saturday, Jan.
25, and walked off with
another first-place trophy.
Once again, the boys team
was led by the Man Shark
Matthew Markarewicz with
three first-place finishes and
a third. Markarewiczs best
effort came in the 200-yard
freestyle where he knocked
off almost 19 seconds from
his previous best time. This is
a huge number for this event.
Matthew continues to
improve with each passing
week.
The girls team was paced
by the dynamic duo of
Danielle Hope and Grace
Warmbier. Each girl had a
first-place finish and two sec-
onds.
Colin Colberg had a sec-
ond-place finish for the boys
with Cameron Martella and
Allie Rutkowski each adding
a second-place finish in their
events to help the Gators
cause.
Katie Rutkowski had a pair
of third-place finishes while
lopping off more than 11 sec-
onds in those two events.
Brei Baker also had a third-
place finish while beating her
best times by more than 30
seconds in the two events.
The mixed relay team of
Matthew Markarewicz, Allie
Rutkowski, Katie Rutkowski
and Holly Wildeman buzzed
through the water like a
launched torpedo, taking
first in the 200-yard mixed
freestyle relay for the second
week in a row.
It was truly a team effort
that enabled the Gators to
bring the trophy back to
Gaylord. Other swimmers
with marked improvements
were Suzi Fousek (-23.10 sec-
onds); Fayth Sanom (-6.38);
Brandon Colberg (-12.78);
Maizy James (-5.48); and
Anna Erickson (-7.45).

MUSKEGON COUNTY
The Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) confirmed
the catch of a new state-
record white perch on Friday,
Jan. 24. This is the second
state record caught in the
month of January.
The white perch was
caught by Aaron Slagh of
Holland, Mich., on Tuesday,
Jan. 21, on Muskegon Lake in
Muskegon County at 11 a.m.
The fish weighed 1.93
pounds and measured 13.25
inches. Slagh was ice fishing
with a spoon when he landed
the record fish.
The record was verified by
Rich ONeal, a DNR fisheries
biologist, at the Muskegon
field office.
The previous state-record
white perch was caught by
Kyle Ryan of Reese on Lake
Huron in Tuscola County on
July 13, 2002. That fish
weighed 1.88 pounds and
measured 13.25 inches.
It was just another normal
day on the ice for me, as I get
out as much as I can, said
Slagh. We were actually tar-
geting yellow perch and I
thought I had a walleye.
When we pulled it up we
thought Holy cow thats a
big white perch!
State records are recog-
nized by weight only. To qual-
ify for a state record, fish
must exceed the current list-
ed state-record weight and
identification must be veri-
fied by a DNR fisheries biolo-
gist.
This winter, despite the
extreme weather most of
Michigan has been experi-
encing, is shaping up to be a
great time for many anglers,
said DNR Fisheries Division
Chief Jim Dexter. This latest
state record once again
showcases the quality of the
states fisheries.

GAYLORD The young
Gaylord hockey team ran
into a pair of tough oppo-
nents in road games over the
weekend and suffered losses
to the Traverse Bay Reps on
Friday, Jan. 31, and the
Cheboygan Chiefs on
Saturday, Feb. 1.
The game with the Reps
was played on the ice at the
Kaliseum in Kalkaska and
ended after two periods with
an 8-0 defeat. The Reps
owned the ice against the
game-but-outmanned Blue
Devils and unleashed a
relentless torrent of shots at
Gaylord goalies Ethan ODell
and Alex Young. For the
games, the Reps owned a 36-
7 advantage in shots on goal.
The Reps only led 1-0 after
one period on a zinger by
Trevor Apsey but scored
seven times in the second
period to force an early end
to the game. Zach Bargy lit
the scoring lamp twice for
the Reps while Josh Hill,
Travis Kirk, Jackson Drake,
John VanRaalte and R.J.
Deneweth each scored once.
In the game played
Saturday at the Cantile Ice
Arena in Cheboygan, it was
the Chiefs building a 6-0 lead
en route to an impressive 9-3
victory.
Nate Stempky struck just
5:45 into the game off a per-
fect feed from John Grantner
to put the Chiefs ahead 1-0
and dangerous Adam
Jeannotte generated a laser
at the 12:33 mark with help
from D.J. Sayers to make it 2-
0.
In the second period, it
was Granter and Jeannotte
each lighting the scoring
lamp for the Chiefs with
Craig Bongard blasting one
home and crafty Austin
Christie connecting on a
whistler to increase the lead
to 6-0 with a little more than
four minutes left to play in
the period.
Gaylords opportunistic
Jackson Deans finally got the
battling Blue Devils on the
board, turning a mid-ice
steal into a breakaway score
at the 15:18 mark.
In the first minute of the
third period, it was Gaylords
hard-driving Garrett
Richardson launching a
rocket blast to record his 10th
goal of the season to trim the
deficit to 6-2 but Cole
Williams put the whack on a
whistler a minute later to
push the Chiefs lead back to
7-2 and then Christie
achieved his second goal
with an unassisted effort and
Dakota Bell rang up a score.
Hardworking Cam Laug
answered for Gaylord with
his first goal of the season to
make the final 9-3.
Deans also delivered an
assist, his fifth, to go with his
seventh goal of the cam-
paign. Richardson recorded
his fourth assist on Laugs
goal and Blake Miller earned
his fifth assist on
Richardsons goal.
D.J. Sayers and Craig
Bongard each produced two
assists for the Chiefs, who
peppered the Gaylord goal
with a whopping 49 shots!
Williams, Bell, Jeannotte,
Christie, Chris Demeuse and
Parker Beauchamp each had
one assist for the Chiefs.
Kaleb Wood and Quiad
Brooks shared the netmind-
ing duties for Cheboygan
while Young and ODell split
time in the nets for the Blue
Devils.
On Wednesday, Feb. 5,
Gaylord (1-12-1) played host
to Cadillac in a Big North
clash. On Friday, Feb. 7,
Gaylord entertains Alpena
and on Saturday, Feb. 8, the
Blue Devils are home against
Mount Pleasant.
After 14 games, Garrett
Richardson is Gaylord lead-
ing scorer with 10 goals and
four assists. Deans has
drilled seven goals with five
assists and is the teams sec-
ond-leading scorer.
Cheboygan (8-11-0) played
at Sault Ste. Marie on
Wednesday, Feb. 5. On
Friday, Feb.7, the Chiefs face
East Kentwood in the
Chelsea Showcase at 4:15
p.m. and on Saturday they
face Grandville at 8:30 a.m.

PERSPECTIVE
William
Hughes
The answer to this question hinges on the degree of love you and your
sweetheart share. There are many ways to show someone you love them.
Not taking them for granted is one way to show your love for someone.
Doing something very special for them that they would never expect or that
they feel they do not deserve is another way. You may find that spending
time with them or perhaps a card telling them how you feel about them
would mean a great deal to them. As you develop a deeper relationship with
your sweetheart you may want to get them a gift that in some way lets them
know just how much you love them. Remember it is not so much the gift as
it is the thought behind it that speaks to the heart. If you are not in the habit
of occasionally doing nice things for your sweetheart on a routine basis
going to extremes on that one special day may not produce the effect you
hope for. Many times earlier on in my life I often tried to make up for
neglecting my sweetheart and living just for me by buying her some really
nice flowers and a really big box of chocolates on Valentines Day. Needless
to say my gift was not looked upon by her the way I hoped it would have
been. To gain a better understanding of what it means to go to extremes to
show someone you love them lets look to the bible and read John 3:16. For
God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. We should
also have a relationship with the Lord on a daily basis, not just once in a
while when we feel the need to repent for putting ourselves first instead of
putting The Lord first. So to answer the question, I am going to try to treat
my sweetheart the way The Lord would desire to be treated by me. I will put
her desires before mine and not take her for granted, and unlike the box of
chocolates she will always know what she has in her relationship with me.
Just as we can always trust The Lord to take care of our needs when we enter
into a relationship with Him, He will never leave us or forsake us.
Yours in Christ,
Bill

Daily Word
THURSDAY: 1 Timothy 1:13-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 13 even though I was formerly a
blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted igno-
rantly in unbelief; 14 and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love
which are found in Christ Jesus.
FRIDAY: Genesis 29:17-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 17 And Leahs eyes were weak, but
Rachel was beautiful of form and face. 18 Now Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, I will serve you
seven years for your younger daughter Rachel. 19 Laban said, It is better that I give her to you
than to give her to another man; stay with me. 20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel and
they seemed to him but a few days because of his love for her.
SATURDAY: Exodus 21:4-6 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 4 If his master gives him a wife, and
she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall belong to her master, and he shall
go out alone. 5 But if the slave plainly says, I love my master, my wife and my children; I will not
go out as a free man, 6 then his master shall bring him to God, then he shall bring him to the
door or the doorpost. And his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him per-
manently.
SUNDAY: Deuteronomy 6:5 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 5 You shall love the Lord your God with
all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
MONDAY: Proverbs 10:12 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 12 Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers
all transgressions.
TUESDAY: 3 Colossians 3:18-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 18 Wives, be subject to your hus-
bands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against
them. 20 Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
WEDNESDAY: John 14:6-7 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Revelation 2:1-5 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 2 To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: The
One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lamp-
stands, says this: 2 I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot toler-
ate evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you
found them to be false; 3 and you have perseverance and have endured for My names sake, and
have not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5
Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or
else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its placeunless you repent.

How to scout
out the best
place to call
home
Compliments of
Ed Wohlfiel
Part 1 of 2
Once you've become pre-quali-
fied for a loan, you should be ready
to put your house-hunting efforts
into full gear. But don't skip the
important step of scouting out
neighborhoods before you start your
search for the perfect house.
The neighborhood in which you
live will heavily dictate your whole
way of lifethings like walking to a
nearby park with your kids, knowing
your kids are attending good
schools, feeling safe when your chil-
dren play outdoors, being close to
restaurants and shopping, enjoying
a short commute, and knowing your
home will appreciate at a healthy
rate.
Of course one way to get started
in your neighborhood search is to
get in your car and explore, espe-
cially if you're unfamiliar with the
area. Get an idea about the neigh-
borhoods by driving around and
seeing which areas appeal to you.
Walk around, explore, and talk to
some of the residents.
Take note of the general appear-
ance of the homes. Are they well
maintained? Are they nicely land-
scaped?
If you have children, you might be
looking for a neighborhood with
plenty of children around, as
opposed to neighborhoods that
attract more seniors or young sin-
gles.
Other factors you'll want to con-
sider are the schools, crime, your
family's specific needs, and appreci-
ation - as in how much the value of
the home is likely to increase.
A good Realtor will be very famil-
iar with all the neighborhoods in the
area and should be able to tell you
about the strengths and weaknesses
of the specific neighborhoods you're
eyeing.
The school district
Even if you don't have school-
aged children, buying a home in a
district with good schools will be in
your best interest. When and if you
sell the home at some point in the
future, future buyers with children
will likely consider good schools
their top priority. And neighbor-
hoods with good schools typically
attract more buyers.
There are several sites on the Web
in which school reports are just a
few mouse clicks away. Basically all
