PETOSKEY The Petoskey
boys are just perfect. Still. The Northmen of coach Dennis Starkey pushed their undefeated mark this season to 9-0 and 4-0 in the Big North with a pair of work- manlike victories last week. On Tuesday, Jan. 15, Petoskey used super pressure in the second half to pull away for a 53-36 win at home over game-but-outmanned Charlevoix. On Friday, Jan. 18, the Northmen enter- tained Alpena and secured a 63-43 decision in the league clash. Not only did the two wins keep Petoskey percolating and perfect this season, it also propelled Petoskeys consecutive win streak at home to a whopping 49 in a row. The win over Charlevoix didnt come as easily as the final score might make it appear. The Rayders hustled and played hard and did enough things defensively to keep Petoskey out of sync in the first two quarters and keep the game close. The Northmen found themselves trailing 21-20 at the half, a very unfamiliar place to be on the home floor, and they came out fly- ing in the third quarter, play- ing with a passion and pur- pose that sometimes didnt show in the first 16 minutes of play. The Northmen, who no doubt received some verbal inspiration from coach Starkey during intermission, outscored the visitors 27-8 in the third quarter to take con- trol of things. The long arms and heady play of Erik Davenport helped fuel the second-half surge. Erik finished what turned out to be a productive night with 18 points, includ- ing a dial-it-up connection from long distance, and sen- ior guard Sam Baumgartner, dependable as the times tables this season, was in bust-out mode as well, scor- ing seven of his 17 points in the decisive third quarter. Senior Quinn Ameel added eight points, all from the floor, and Lights Out Louie Lamberti and Shea Whitmore each helped the cause with twine-jumping shots from beyond the arc. Reliable Joe LeBlanc brought down four rebounds and brought in four points. Lamberti locked onto five rebounds. Sawyer Russell struck for 10 to lead the visiting Rayders (5-2) while Zach Hankins hit for eight and Charlie Hamilton for seven. Tanner Catt contributed six. The Petoskey JV also won, outscoring the Rayders 60- 55. Jason Bur was a Beast for the young Northmen, bust- ing the nets for 17 points, and Parker Monley helped put the offense into overdrive with his 15 points. Petoskey edged the Rayders 58-21 in the fresh- men game as Brendan Smith smote the iron for 15 points and Peter Crittenden cracked the rim for 12. IN THE win over Alpena on Friday, it was Mr. Davenport doing more damage down low for the Northmen in the 20-point win. Davenport delivered the goods, making the net dance to the tune of a team-high 15 points to lead another balanced scoring assault. Shea Whitmore added some high octane to the attack off the bench, waxing the nets for 14 points. Baumgartner blistered the twine for 13 and LeBlanc did the usual J-Lab launching from the floor, landing a dozen points through the rim. Quinn Ameel, who does many of the important, pro- ductive things away from the ball that dont always show up on the stat sheet, queued in for eight points. Tyler Pintar put 16 on the board for the Wildcats, who slipped to 5-2 and 2-3, and angular Luke Cordes con- nected for 15. The Petoskey JV improved to 6-3 with a 52-36 triumph over the Wildcats. Jason Bur spurred the offense, as usual, burying 15 points, and Evan Whitmore added some whack of his own, scoring 12. Petoskey (9-0, 4-0) put its unbeaten mark on the line at Gaylord on Tuesday, Jan. 22, after this issue went to press. The Northmen go for 50 in a row when they return home on Friday, Jan. 25, to face Cadillac in a huge league showdown. J0ST wST 0F |-75 X|T 2826AYL080

The Best Choice! January 24, 2013 LOCAL SPORTS On-line at www.weeklychoice.com By Mike Dunn POSEN It was another good night for the Mio boys and a night that Micah Thomey of the Thunderbolts will always remember. The Mio boys made it nine in a row on Friday, Jan. 18, outscoring host Posen 74-36 in a North Star League clash. Thomey surpassed the 1,000- point scoring plateau in his stellar four-year varsity career during the game. He hit for 13 points to go with nine assists and four boards in his history-making night. As a team, Mio was hotter than a Texas prairie in August from the charity stripe, hit- ting a whopping 20-of-26 attempts in the game. Colton McGregor pulled the trigger on 14 points and Dennis Kann III canned 11 to join Micah in double digits. Big Ben Lubitz and Bryce DeGrammont delivered 10 points apiece to help the Thunderbolt cause and Seth Thomey helped make it all possible with his pinpoint, surgical passes as he record- ed six assists. Tommy Vaughn was a vacuum down low, grabbing five rebounds. Nick Kincka connected for 19 points to lead Posen (4-5, 2-5) and Travis Sharpe struck for 10. ON TUESDAY, Jan. 15, the Thunderbolts defeated Tawas 46-41. Point guard Seth Thomey twirled the twine for 14 points to lead another bal- anced scoring assault and he also made everyone around him better, recording eight assists. Aaron Georgieff with 11 points and Big Ben Lubitz with 10 were also in double figures and Bryce DeGrammont put the grab on six rebounds. Chaz Coffin was deadly from the floor, hitting for 13 to lead Tawas. Mio, which improved to 9- 0 and 7-0 in the league, played at Hale on Tuesday, Jan. 22, after this issue went to press. On Friday, Jan. 25, Mio plays host to league foe Atlanta and on Monday, Jan. 28, the Thunderbolts are home again against Lincoln- Alcona. Thome hits milestone in Mio victor By Mike Dunn GAYLORD Inland Lakes senior guard Dakotah Davedowski, calm as a wind- less sea, made three straight free throws in the final sec- onds to give the Bulldogs a super-tense, come-from- behind 46-45 victory at the court of Gaylord St. Mary on Thursday, Jan. 17. Jubilant I-Lakes coach Joe Mahoney lauded Davidowskis eerily calm demeanor with the game on the line. Dakotahs deliveries from the charity stripe gave the Bulldogs their first victo- ry of the season. It was a heartbreaking loss for the Snowbirds, who ral- lied from 18-12, 24-23 and 39-35 deficits at the quarter breaks to finally overtake the determined Bulldogs late in the contest. An old-fashioned three- point play from angular jun- ior forward Charles Strehl gave the Snowbirds their first lead of the game, 44-43, with less than 40 seconds remain- ing. Nick Harrington added a point to the lead with a free throw with 11 seconds to go, putting the Bulldogs two points behind on their final possession. Davedowski went for the win with the final buzzer sounding, launching a shot from beyond the arc. The shot was off the mark but the refs ruled that Davedowski was fouled. Dakotah, who had a splen- did game for the victors, did- nt go south with the game on the line, nailing all three free throws to give the Bulldogs the tense, dramatic victory. Davedowski made the net dance to the tune of 22 points in the contest to lead the battling Bulldogs. Trench-tough Todd Athey tallied 12 while Richard Armbruster hit for eight and Nick Howery hit for six as I- Lakes improved to 1-7 and 1- 6 in the league. Strehl struck for 20 points to pace the Snowbirds of coach Ken Blust. Pat OConnor, who was com- mended by Blust for playing a smart game, connected for nine points. Willy Canfield canned four points, as did hard-nosed senior forward Nick Lochinski and Harrington. ON TUESDAY, Jan. 15, the Snowbirds played host to surging Mancelona and took the Ironmen to the wire in a tough 60-55 defeat. OConnor, Lochinski and Strehl led a very balanced St. Mary attack with 10 points apiece. OConnor also col- lected four steals with his aggressive defense and Strehl secured five rebounds. Matt Spyhalski produced nine points with four steals. Cameron Juneac put some jolt into the attack with eight points and the silky-smooth Harrington also tallied eight. St. Mary was down 17 points at the half before storming back to make a game of it in the second half. I challenged my guys to get after them at halftime and that challenge was final- ly accepted in the fourth quarter, Blust reported. I thought our energy was defi- nitely there, causing turnovers and converting. We had our chance to close out the game, yet a couple missed rebounds gave Mancelona extra life, and we just couldn't finish out." Blust was especially pleased with the defensive effort of Harrington guard- ing Mancelonas prolific sophomore scorer Brandon Dingman. Davedowski drains late free throws to lift visiting Bulldogs to razor-thin victory at Gaylord I-Lakes boys edge Snowbirds Basketball By Mike Dunn GAYLORD The stage was set perfectly for the rematch between Ski Valley powers Johannesburg-Lewiston and Gaylord St. Mary that took place on Tuesday, Jan. 22, in the Snowbirds gym. The game was played after this issue of the Weekly Choice went to press. St. Mary was seeking to reverse the narrow 50-48 defeat at the hands of the Cardinals in the first meeting between the teams at Johannesburg on Dec. 12. Much was riding on the outcome of the game, which also served as the annual Rivals Rally for the Cure fundraiser for breast cancer research. Each year the Cardinals and Snowbirds square off in the Rivals Rally game, switching the venue each time. St. Mary went into the game with an 11-2 overall record and 8-1 in the league after a 72-23 decision over Forest Area on Friday. The state-ranked Cardinals were 12-0 overall and 9-0 in the Ski Valley going into the game. The Snowbirds needed to win to remain in contention for the league title and possi- bly forge a co-championship with J-L. The Cardinals need- ed to win to maintain a stran- glehold on the top spot in the conference standings and pave the way for sole posses- sion of the 2013 SVC title. ST. MARY flexed its consid- erable offensive muscles in the decisive win over Forest Area. Junior sharpshooter Kari Borowiak blistered the nets for 19 points and gave a strong all-around perform- ance, also recording seven rebounds and six assists. Senior backcourt mate Chrissy Smith struck for 14 points and provided surgical- ly precise passes to help teammates score, notching seven assists. Long-armed Mary Spyhalski hit for 10 points and fighting freshman Bekah Myler muscled her way to 11 points and six rebounds. Emily Gonyer grabbed 10 points for the Warriors. THE Johannesburg- Lewiston, meanwhile, posted back-to-back victories over Onaway and Pellston in the games leading up to the St. Mary rematch. The Cardinals outscored visiting Onaway 70-27 on Wednesday, Jan. 16, as league teams started playing each other the second time around. On Friday, the Cardinals outscored scrappy Pellston 63-31. Hailey Weaver waxed the nets for 16 points to lead the way for the host Cardinals in the win over Onaway. Senior Abby Schlicher struck for 12 points to go with four assists and five rebounds and Brittney Cherwinski churned the twine for 11 points with four assists. Katelyn Weaver helped the cause with eight points and Julia Nieman recorded six assists. The long arms of Hannah Huff accounted for eight rebounds and fresh- man Maddie Showerman pulled down five, as did McKenzie Matthewson. Erika Price plugged the iron for six points to lead the visiting Cardinals of coach Marty Mix. Senior forward Megan Estep added five. In the win over Pellston, it was Acetylene Abby torch- ing the twine for 17 points and grabbing five boards to lead the Cardinals. Abby was also a fearsome force on defense, acquiring six steals. Angular senior forward Emma Dunham collected 14 points and seven rebounds for pesky Pellston, which scored 21 of its 31 points in the second half. Tall Tori Kirsch tallied seven points for the Hornets and grabbed 10 rebounds in the hard- fought defeat. After the J-L game, St. Mary was on the road against Onaway on Thursday, Jan. 24, and on the road against Bellaire in a rare Saturday clash on Jan. 26. The JV tip- off for that one was slated for 5 p.m. After playing St. Mary, J-L was home on Thursday, Jan. 24, against Forest Area and then home on Tuesday, Jan. 29, against Bellaire. On Tuesday, Feb. 5, the Cardinals are home against Inland Lakes. T(% !#4)/. &)'52%$ 4/ "% &!34, &52)/53 !.$ ).4%.3% 7(%. J/"52' !.$ S4.

By Mike Dunn GAYLORD The scrappy, blue-collar Blue Devils of coach Tim ORourke used heart and hustle to stay with high-powered Big North foe Cadillac for the first quarter and most of the first half on Thursday, Jan. 17. Gaylord led 9-8 in the first quarter and trailed just 26-19 at halftime but in the third and fourth quarters the visit- ing Vikings pulled away more and more on the scoreboard, eventually securing a 56-30 victory. Cadillac improved to 8-2 overall and 3-2 in the Big North while Gaylord, coming off the impressive victory at Grayling in the previous out- ing, slipped to 1-9 overall and 0-4 in the league. Hardworking senior guard Tyler Cherry churned the nets for seven points to lead the Blue Devils. Leland Huey landed five points through the iron, as did determined James Dunn. Senior guard Tyler Frisch, who has been Gaylords leading scorer all season, drew Cadillac defenders like magnets and was limited to five points. The Vikings also did a good job of keeping the Blue Devils dangerous forward Zach Lundell under wraps. Bryan Rabine brought a high-octane effort off the bench. Ben Mackey made 16 points to pace Cadillac and Nick Paquet put 13 through the iron. The Gaylord JV lost a close one to the Vikings, 54-52. Blayne Baker blistered the nets for the Blue Devils and Marcus ORourke and Sam Rinke sparked a second-half comeback with their swarm- ing, aggressive play. Gaylord played host to undefeated Petoskey on Tuesday, Jan. 22, after this issue went to press. The Blue Devils go north to take on St. Ignace on Tuesday, Jan. 29, and return home on Tuesday, Jan. 31, against Big North foe Ogemaw Heights. By Mike Dunn PETOSKEY The Petoskey girls of coach Adam Dobrowolski won back-to- back Big North Conference games on Monday and Friday and it was the familiar names leading the way once again. Seniors Kelsey Ance and Megan Tompkins added to their growing laurels this sea- son with two typically effec- tive performances against Alpena and Gaylord. The potent 1-2 punch of the strong-armed seniors, com- bined with the efficient, fluid play of reliable senior Alyssa VanWerden along with key contributions from Kati Lewis, Liz Fraser and others, enabled Petoskey to outscore Alpena 62-24 on Friday and outscore visiting Gaylord 59- 46 on Monday. The 6-foot-3 Tompkins cast a long shadow in the hard-fought win over Gaylord as she did a Wow! number on the Windex, gath- ering in 10 rebounds under the glass and blocking six Blue Devil shots. She also scored a team-high 19 points for a double-double as Petoskey won its seventh straight game to improve to 10-2 overall and 6-1 in the Big North. Ance, a sturdy two-way performer at wing, had another solid stat line: 18 points, six rebounds, six assists. VanWerden and Lewis each launched six points from the backcourt and did a great job distributing the wealth as the Northmen reg- istered 15 assists in the con- test. Liz Fraser fired in a big 3-pointer after Gaylord got close in the fourth quarter. Gaylord scrapped, clawed and battled, like always, but fell behind early and could never quite climb out of the hole. The Blue Devils lethal lefty, senior wing Mackenzie Edwards, led all scorers in the contest. Mighty Mac put the whack into the Blue Devil attack once again, taming the twine for a game-high 21 points. Edwards driving layup at the outset of the fourth quar- ter brought the visiting Blue Devils within five points, 44- 39, but that was as close as they would get as Petoskey responded the way the good teams do, pulling away down the stretch. Senior forward Alex Simmons struck for 12 points to join Mackenzie in double digits. The win gave Petoskey a sweep of the Blue Devils this season. Petoskey also won at Gaylord 43-25 in early December. The Blue Devils captured the JV contest 27-14. The young Blue Devils of coach Slammin Shelly Curtis improved to 10-1 with the win. Brandi Wagner wired in for eight points and Lindsey Zaremba zoned in for eight also. Cierra Woods supplied the lumber inside and scored six. Katrina Daniel stood tall for the Petoskey JV, rejecting seven shots and grabbing six boards, and Megan Sysko wasnt kidding either, putting her stamp on six rebounds with four blocked shots. Petoskey won the fresh- men game 21-16 as Jenny Tompkins and Jillian Piotrowski each plugged the iron for six points. ON FRIDAY, Petoskey won its sixth straight with a work- manlike 62-24 victory over visiting Big North foe Alpena. It was another big night for versatile senior forward Kelsey Ance, who connected for 24 points to go with six rebounds, four assists and four steals as the Northmen tamed the Wildcats. Long-armed senior post Megan Tompkins blocked six Alpena shots in the contest while scoring 16 and pulling down nine rebounds. Fellow senior Alyssa VanWerden tal- lied six, including a pretty deuce on a breakaway. Christina Kollien scored 12 for Alpena. The Sysko Kid came up big for the Petoskey JV against Alpena but it was the Wildcats who prevailed in a thriller, 46-41. Megan Sysko made a double-double with 18 points and 13 boards while Shelby Laser locked in for seven points with four steals and strong-armed Sarah Yankoviak yanked down six rebounds.

Maddy Sides made the nets swim while securing seven points to lead the bat- tling Blue Devils and Briana Hartley hammered the iron for six. Ariveara Piehl and Alaina Taylor each totaled two points and Alicia Slocum scored one. Arica Alread was awesome on defense, report- ed coach Jessi Matelski. For Petoskey, Jenny Tompkins was a tower of toughness, tagging the twine for six points and turning away seven Blue Devil shots with thunderous blocks. She also had six boards. Jillian Piotrowski put the grab on seven rebounds and pro- duced six points.

The Comets pushed their record to 9-2 overall with the hard-fought win. Slick, savvy senior guard Courtney Wallis cranked up the octane on the Comet attack, assaulting the enemy iron with a barrage of shots and scoring a game-high 27 points to go with 10 rebounds. Feisty freshman Cyclone Chelsey Closs made the twine twitch to the tune of 18 points and hauled in 10 rebounds for a double-dou- ble. Junior Brooke Yoder added bounce to the offense as well, hitting for nine points. Coach Stefanski also com- mended the high-energy efforts of Blaine Yoder and Cassie LaLonde off the bench. Mack City played at DeTour on Tuesday, Jan. 22, after this issue went to press. On Thursday, Jan. 24, the Comets are home against Alba in Northern Lakes Conference action and on Tuesday, Jan. 29, they are home against Wolverine. St. Ignace 62, Cheboygan 24 CHEBOYGAN -- The St. Ignace girls showed once again why theyre undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the state in an impressive 62-24 victo- ry over host Cheboygan on Friday. The Chiefs of coach Jason Purcell actually got off to a pretty good start, holding a 10-8 advantage on the score- board in the early going. The Saints began to percolate after that, however, and pulled away. Junior guard Kelley Wright, a terror for opposing defens- es all season long, scored 29 to lead the Saints, who improved to 11-0 and 5-0 in the Straits Area Conference. The game-but-outmanned Chiefs slipped to 7-4 and 2-3. It didnt help the Cheboygan cause that starters Holly Socolovitch and Macey Charboneau got into early foul trouble. Scrappy sophomore guard Brooke Hancock paced the Chiefs with eight points, including two connections from 3-point land. Senior Mariah Rozek and junior Mariah Kane each rang up four points. There was good news for the Chiefs in the JV clash as the Cheboygan took a 33-29 win. The Chiefs added plenty of Vitamin C to their attack, as Carolyn Clark connected for nine points to help her team push its record to a respectable 8-3. Hannah Hudak hit for six points, as did Kaitlin Dobrowolski. Cheboygan plays host to Newberry this Friday, Jan. 25. Wolverine 30, Grand Traverse Academy 28 OT WOLVERINE The host Wildcats clawed, scrapped and battled their way to a tough 30-28 victory over Grand Traverse Academy in overtime on Friday. Gabbi Ogden put much of the Ouch into the offense, tickling the twine for a game- high 14 points to lead Wolverine. Brandi Whittaker blistered the nets for 10 points to help the Wildcats, who improved to 3-6. The game was tied at 28 at the end of regulation. Tammy Heintz and Whittaker each connected for a free throw to account for all the scoring in the extra session. Jamie Wright tallied 10 for G.T. Academy. Girls Hoops Mack City holds off Engadine Blue Devils stage furious fourth-quarter rally in tight loss at Cadillac; Mackenzie hits 21 in loss at Petoskey Page 4-B Choice Publications ... The Best Choice! January 24, 2013 By Mike Dunn CADILLAC The Gaylord girls of coach Frank Hamilla slipped to 4-7 overall and 1-4 in the Big North with a pair of tough losses in Big North play on Friday and Monday. On Friday, the Blue Devils staged a furious fourth-quar- ter rally to test talented Cadillac but the rally fell just short as the host Vikings pulled one out of the fire, 46- 45. On Monday, the girls suf- fered a 59-46 loss at the court of the Northmen. In Fridays game at Cadillac, Gaylord was down 12 points early in the fourth quarter before storming back to take a 45-44 lead with 9 seconds remaining when senior scrapper Alex Simmons sank a driving layup. Abby Fuller of Cadillac went to the line and drained both free throws to put the Vikings on top 46-45 with 4 seconds to go. The Blue Devils were able to get the ball up the floor and get a shot off as the buzzer sound- ed but the shot rolled tanta- lizingly around the rim before falling harmlessly out. It was a tough loss but Gaylord played tough on the road against a very good Cadillac squad. We played great half- court defense throughout the game, coach Hamilla reported. I was very happy with our effort and how we are moving in the right direc- tion. We can take a lot of pos- itives out of this game. Once again it was Mighty Mac helping to bridge the gap on the scoreboard for Gaylord. Senior Mackenzie Edwards made the net dance to the tune of 19 points to lead the Blue Devils and the hardworking Simmons struck for 13 to join her in double figures. Joltin junior guard Maddie Hamilla hit for seven points and Sarah Perpetual Motion Polena put five on the board to go with four assists and four steals. Chelsea Fox was sly under the glass, grabbing nine rebounds. The Gaylord JV of Slammin Shelly Curtis came up big again, earning a 30-25 victory over the Vikings after falling behind 19-18 at the half. We came out in the third and played great man-to- man and zone defense, reported coach Curtis. We played great as a team; every- one contributed as a team. It was a great confidence builder for us. Brandi Wagner blistered the nets for 13 points and limber Lindsey Zaremba zoned in for seven. ON MONDAY, in the loss at Petoskey, Mac made a game- high 21 points and helped fuel a second-half comeback that brought the Blue Devils within five points early in the fourth quarter. Alexandra was great, too, as she struck for 12 points, including a ringing 3-pointer to bring Gaylord within eight points midway through the final quarter. Megan Tompkins made 19 points for the Northmen with 10 boards and seven blocked shots and fellow senior Kelsey Ance connected for 18 with six rebounds and six assists. Gaylord won the JV clash 27-14 to improve to 10-1 this season. Brandi Wagner waxed the twine for eight points to help lead the way for coach Curtiss troops and Lindsey Zaremba added her own zip and zap to the attack, scoring eight. Cierra Woods was strong as a cedar, as usual, scoring six. Gaylord (4-7, 1-4) is off for a while. The Blue Devil next play at Ogemaw Heights on Friday, Feb. 1, and entertain Traverse City Central on Tuesday, Feb. 5.

Just log on to: weeklychoice .com Or call: 989-732-8160 By Mike Dunn MANCELONA The Mancelona boys of coach Rick Duerksen traveled to hostile courts at Gaylord St. Mary on Tuesday, Jan. 15, and at Johannesburg-Lewiston on Thursday, Jan. 17, and came away with two more league victories. The Ironmen improved to 7-2 overall and 6-0 in the league with the wins. They played at home on Tuesday, Jan. 22, against Inland Lakes and are slated to go to unbeaten Bellaire this Friday, Jan. 25, in a much-anticipat- ed SVC showdown. In the win at Gaylord, the Ironmen forged a 54-34 lead after three quarters and were forced to hold off a furious fourth-quarter rally by the Snowbirds before securing a hard-fought 60-55 decision. Junior big man Brandon Scott was a bruising force down low for the Ironmen as he generated 20 points and pulled down six rebounds. Senior guard Wyatt Derrer waxed the nets for 12 points while super-slick sophomore wing Brandon B-Ding Dingman delivered a double- double, making the twine twitch to the tune of 12 points and hauling in 11 rebounds to help the Mancy cause. He also had four assists Griffin Borst generated nine points and had a strong all-around performance, grabbing six rebounds and making three steals. Pat OConnor, Nick Lochinski and Charles Strehl each struck for 10 points to lead the Snowbirds balanced scoring attack, and Matt Spyhalski spanked the twine for nine while Nick Harrington and Cameron Juneac each hit for eight. The long-armed Strehl also pulled down five rebounds and the hard-nosed Lochinski had four. OConnor and Spyhalski sparked the defense, each recording four steals. At halftime we were down 17 and I challenged my guys to get after them and step it up, reported St. Mary coach Ken Blust. That challenge was finally accepted in the fourth. I thought our energy was definitely there, causing turnovers and converting. We had our chance to close out the game, yet a couple missed rebounds gave Mancelona extra life, and we just couldn't finish out. ON THURSDAY, the Ironmen prevailed at J-L in overtime, 66-64. Dingman made the net spin from the charity stripe in the extra session to help carry the Ironmen to the tense victory. B-Ding went 11-of-15 from the line in the game and scored a whopping 41 points against the Cardinals. He also pulled down 13 boards for a decisive double-double. Logan Borst did his usual blue-collar battling from the backcourt. He scored 10 for the Ironmen with five rebounds and three assists. Freshman phenom Logan Huff was lights out again from the perimeter as he launched 18 points to lead the Cardinals in the tough home loss. Cam Nickert and Jake Newell each added jolt to the J-L attack, scoring 16 apiece. Coalton Huff hit for five points and dished off five assists. J-L (4-5, 3-4) played host to Onaway on Wednesday, Jan. 23. On Friday, they are home against Pellston and on Monday, Jan. 28, home against Atlanta. After playing at Bellaire on Friday, Jan. 25, the Ironmen play at Ellsworth on Monday, Jan. 28.

January 24, 2013 LOCAL SPORTS On-line at www.weeklychoice.com By Mike Dunn TRAVERSE CITY It was a tough weekend. Because of a December postponement, the Gaylord hockey team was forced to go to Traverse City on back- to-back days to face potent Big North foes T.C. West and then T.C. Central. On Friday, Jan. 18, the Blue Devils fell to West 5-0 and on Saturday they lost to Central 6-1. The game with West was just 1-0 after the first period before the Titans pulled away with a four-goal bar- rage in the second period, including two power play goals. The Titans had eight power plays in the game and Gaylord had two. The Blue Devil special teamers were kept busy but were effective for the most part, keeping West off the scoreboard in six-of-eight power play tries. Peter Lawton was in the nets for Gaylord and, if not for his effort, the game would have been more lop- sided. He stopped 34 of a whopping 40 shots by the Titans. Gaylord had eight shots on net in the contest. ON SATURDAY afternoon, the Blue Devils bounced back from the rough game the night before with West to give Central a competitive, spirited battle, especially through the first two peri- ods. The Blue Devils were play- ing without the services of reliable Seth Muzyl (shoul- der injury) and Blake Miller (shoulder injury) and Trevor Raymond but still made the Trojans fight for the win. Robb Hansen took his turn as the fourth Blue Devil defenseman and turned in a whale of an effort. Mitch Lawton lit the lamp for Gaylord for what proved to be the only time during the weekend. Missile Mitch launched a laser that sizzled past the sprawling Trojan goaltender and made the twine dance in the back of the net. Sam Black, a pupil of Gaylords School of Sock, added the assist to his typical blue-collar effort. The score was just 2-1 in favor of Central after two periods. The Blue Devils held their own territorially for the first two periods before simply running out of gas in the third. As longtime Gaylord announcer Wayne Goodman right noted, if the Blue Devils continue to give that kind of effort in the sec- ond half of the season, there will be a few Ws appearing on the ledger. The Blue Devils played at Cadillac on Wednesday, Jan. 23. On Friday, Jan. 25, Gaylord entertains T.C. West and on Saturday, Jan. 26, the Blue Devils play at St. Marys of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Gaylord hustles, works hard in losses to West, Central; effort with limited roster in Central game is encouraging Hockey Blue Devils battle T.C. teams Cheboygans balanced scoring attack sinks Saints; Boys Hoops Chiefs edge host St. Ignace, 70-66 By Mike Dunn ST. IGNACE Cheboygan bounced back big time from the disheartening loss to Alpena a few days before, going to the court of St. Ignace and sinking the Saints 70-66 in a key Straits Area Conference clash. Juniors Luke Harrington and Ben Petroleum Pearson both oiled the nets for a team-high 16 points and senior Jordan Fontaine fired in 14 as Cheboygan put up a blistering, balanced assault on the iron. Senior forward Jack Schott also helped the cause with his gritty play in the paint, pulling down a team-high 10 rebounds in the physical contest and also scoring eight. Junior Nik Bevier brought down five rebounds and busted the nets for six points and Andrew Dixon also deliv- ered six points. Senior point guard Damon Proctor helped engineer the unselfish Cheboygan attack with his floor generalship and his pre- cision passing. He recorded four assists. In the JV game, it was Trent Jarman and Brady Hiller helping the Chiefs to an impressive 65-45 triumph. Trent was T.J. Max from the floor, tagging the twine for a team-high 18 points, and Hiller hit for 14. Zach Socha added some zap of his own, striking for nine points, and Liam McNeil made eight as the young Chiefs pushed their record to 4-4. Cheboygan (5-3) travels to Newberry on Friday, Jan. 25. Alanson 69 Mackinaw City 66 MACKINAW CITY Visiting Alanson pulled away in the final minutes to earn a tense 69-66 decision over host Mackinaw City on Tuesday, Jan. 15, in Northern Lakes Conference play. Viking freshman Brett Williams gunned a clutch 3- pointer with a little more than a minute to play to break a 62-62 tie and give the visitors a lead they would not relinquish. Williams finished a pro- ductive night with 22 points, burying the ball from 3-point range six times in the con- test. Max Oom added some zoom to the offense as well, hitting for 16 points, and Kody Wicker waxed the twine for 11 points. It was the sec- ond straight win for Alanson. Junior guard Noah Morse nailed 23 points for Mack City and sweet-shooting sophomore Caleb Jaggi jammed the iron for 15 points. Fellow sophomore Jonah Robbins rang up nine points. Mack City played at DeTour on Wednesday, Jan. 23, and at Wolverine on Friday, Jan. 25. On Monday, Jan. 28, the Comets are home against Harbor Light Christian. Alanson played at Alba on Wednesday, Jan. 23, and on Friday, Jan. 25, the Vikings are home against Ellsworth. Bellaire 75 Onaway 35 ONAWAY Ninth-ranked, unbeaten Bellaire had too much firepower for host Onaway on Thursday, Jan. 17. The Eagles improved to 7-0 and 5-0 in the Ski Valley with a 75-35 decision over the Cardinals of coach Eddy Szmoniak. Onaway fell to 6-3 overall and 4-3 in the league. Tyler Thornton tallied 21 for the victors while Mitch Teetzel hit for 18 with 11 rebounds. Onaway played host to non-league foe Rogers City on Tuesday, Jan. 22, after this issue went to press. Graling girls use big third quarter to top host Bone Cit BOYNE CITY Trailing at half time, the Grayling girls varsity basketball team used a 20-point outburst in the third quarter to rally for a 51- 41 road win over the host Boyne City Ramblers on Friday, Jan. 18. The visiting Lady Vikings (6-4 overall) found them- selves trailing 27-21 at the half of the Lake Michigan Conference matchup. We struggled shooting again in the first half, but we kept ourselves in the game with our full-court press, said Grayling head coach Joe Powers. We were forcing many turnovers, yet we struggled scoring again. During the half, we felt confident because the game was full court and very fast- paced, he added. We felt that our team depth would contribute to our success, as we played everyone on our team during the furious first half. Boyne City did not. And, Powers seemed to be right. Grayling came back out on the floor after the inter- mission and dominated the third quarter, 20-9. Then, the Vikings sealed the win by holding the Ramblers to just five points in the final stanza, while scoring 10. We wanted to keep up the pace and make the game a four-quarter game, Powers said. It worked to our advan- tage, as we outscored Boyne City, 30-14, in the second half. The backcourt duo of Hailey Whittaker, who was 2- of-2 from beyond the three- point line, and Hannah Haven led the way for Grayling, with each hoopster hitting for 12 points. Whittaker also had 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in the road win, while Haven added 4 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 assist. The Vikings also had solid play along their front line. Sophomore forward Samantha Denno chipped 10 points, 6 boards and 1 steal, as well as recording a team- best 3 blocked shots against the Ramblers. And, senior forward Maddie Benardo ripped down a team-high 10 boards to go with 6 points and 4 steals. Other contributors for Graying in Fridays confer- ence win included: Makayla Cragg with 4 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist; Alyssa Morley with 3 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal; Caitlin Prosser with 2 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 assists and 1 blocked shot; and Rachel Money with 2 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. It was a very solid league win on the road, Powers added. Report by Buckland Media. By Mike Dunn PETOSKEY The Petoskey hockey team pushed its record to 10-7 with a pair of close victories over the weekend. On Friday, Jan. 18, Petoskey edged Big North foe Cadillac 3-2 and on Saturday the Northmen ral- lied from a 2-0 deficit to edge the Bay Area Reps by an identical 3-2 score. The win over Cadillac gave Petoskey a sweep of the two- game series this season and a 2-3 record in the rugged Big North. The cool hand of Ken Forton accounted for the game-winning goal in the win over the Vikings. Cannon Kenny made a mid-rink steal and broke free on Viking goalie P.J. Nemish, blasting one home in a short-handed situation to break the 2-2 tie in the third period. Senior Derek Smith deliv- ered the first goal for Petoskey and junior Ben Schwartzfisher fired in the second goal. Tanner Davis and Kevin Hansen earned the assists. Breanna Merriam turned away several hard Viking deliveries in the second period en route to earning the W in the nets. She turned back 17 of 19 shots. ON SATURDAY in Traverse City, the host Reps rocketed to a quick 2-0 lead on the scoreboard. Smith put his own brand of big-time Smash into the Petoskey attack midway through the second period, suddenly slicing the deficit in half with a serious, siz- zling slam of a slap shot. Kenny Forton fueled the fire with a fantastic assist. The Skye Pilot, Skye Pieffer, added to the momentum a while later when he provided a perfect feed to the flying Forton and Cannon Kenny launched a twine-bruising blast to make the score 2-2. It was Pieffer who put the finishing touches on the tense, come-from-behind win, launching a laser off a rebound blast by Tanner Davis to give Petoskey a 3-2 advantage with less than five minutes remaining. Michael Whittaker stood tall between the pipes for the Northmen, withstanding a barrage of shots from the Reps. He rejected 28 of 30 attempts as Petoskey improved to 6-1 in the Northern Michigan Hockey League. Petoskey (10-7) enter- tained Cheboygan in a NMHL clash on Wednesday, Jan. 23. On Friday, Jan. 25, the Northmen are home again against Traverse City Central. Petoskey plays at Gaylord on Friday, Feb. 1.

Vikings victorious as they hold of late Rambler surge Mio thumps Hale to stay alone atop NSL Grayling 57 Boyne City 55 By Chris Fiel BOYNE CITY The Vikings used a big third quarter to take a comfortable lead into the final eight minutes of play only to see that dwindle to a basket as time expired as Grayling held off a late Boyne City rally in a 57-55 Lake Michigan Conference victory on January 18. We were able to fight off adversity with foul trouble and hang on, Grayling coach Rich Moffit said. We had some good runs, they had some good runs, but we were able to hold on down the stretch. Boyne City took a 16-14 advantage after the first eight minutes of play, and extend- ed that lead to 34-30 at half- time, before the Viking offense kicked into high gear in outscoring the Ramblers 18-5 in the third quarter for a 48-39 lead headed into the fourth quarter. Leading the Viking charge on the night was Scott Parkinson with 13 points and five steals, while Tyler McClanahan added 12. Michael Branch dished out three assists and led the team in rebounding with six, and Justice Junttila added five boards. Traditionally were a little bigger, but with this line-up spacing is important, coach Moffit added. We need to look to attack the rim and take advantage of our quick- ness, if there isnt any spac- ing, then we have trouble attacking. Boyne City was led by Cory Redman with a game high 24 points, while Maceo Vroman added 12, and Brad Fouchia had nine for the Ramblers. We had some youthful breakdowns in the first half, Boyne City coach Nick Redman said. But, we came back and played solid defense and pressed real hard forcing them to turn the ball over and put us on the line. Boyne City started to press in the fourth quarter and closed the gap to two, but fell just short of the win. Grayling improved to 6-2 overall, 4-1 conference, while Boyne fell to 3-5, 2-3, with the loss. Hale had the best chance of any North Star League boys basketball team to knock of league leading Mio off its pedestal. After the Thunderbolts 58-34 win over the hosting Eagles Tuesday night, the NSL title is theirs to lose. The kids are working hard every day, I can't com- plain, Mio head coach Dennis Kann said. It just seems like a total team effort. These guys want to win pretty bad. Hale (6-2 NSL) came into the contest one game behind the Thunderbolts (8- 0) but things quickly unrav- eled for the Eagles in a first period that saw them hit just one field-goal, a three- pointer by Ryan Richardson and one free-throw by Dan Katterman. Mio conversely got four points apiece from Micah Thomey and Ben Lubitz, on its way to a 12-4 lead after the first quarter. They've been playing really well and we knew that we had to play well to win, Hale head coach Ryan Parkinson said. I thought we played well in Hillman the other night but we had a lot of stuff going on tonight and it just wasn't our night. Hale managed just single free-throws apiece by Kelby Chrivia and Cody Brewington in the second quarter, while Mio, behind its suffocating defense caused several turnovers that sparked fast-break opportunities that were eas- ily converted into two-point basket after two-point bas- ket. Mio took a 25-6 lead at the half. I thought the first half, we played near perfect, Kann said. For the most part it was our defense, that's our biggest asset. That's our best offense and it creates a lot of fast-break baskets. RJ Bassi knocked down a pair of three-pointers and Chrivia and Richardson each hit one three-ball to give the Eagles brief glimpses of hope in the third quarter, but Thomey hit a three-pointer as well and finished with six points in the quarter, along with Lubitz getting five and Bryce Degrammont getting four to leave Mio ahead 40-22 entering the fourth. Aaron Georgieff scored off an offensive rebound to put Mio up 42-22 early in the fourth quarter, and Hale never got the deficit below 20 again as the Thunderbolts cruised to the win behind four more points by Georgieff, six by Degrammont and four more by Thomey. That was the best smoth- ering defense I've seen in awhile so kudos to them, Parkinson said. We certain- ly thought we had been improving enough to give them a better game but you could tell who the better of the two ball clubs was tonight. Mio was led by Thomey with 16 points, Lubitz and Degrammont both finished with 13, Georgieff had 10 and Seth Thomey scored six. Hale was led by Richardson and Katterman with eight apiece, Bassi had six, Italo Cicotti had five, Chrivia had four and Brewington scored three.

CHEBOYGAN COUNTY -- The Department of Natural Resources has announced that the 2013 lake sturgeon fishing and spearing season on Black Lake in Cheboygan County will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 2. All anglers must register to par- ticipate in the lake sturgeon season. The 2013 angler registra- tion process will be similar to what was enacted in 2012. Anglers need to only register once for the entire season. An early registration will be held at the DNR Onaway Field Station from 2 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 1. This station is located approximately five miles north of Onaway on Route 211. Anglers can pick up their spearing identifica- tion flags at this time and learn more about season logistics and sturgeon popu- lations from the DNR. Anglers unable to partici- pate in the Friday registra- tion may register at either the entrance booth to Onaway State Park or at a registration trailer at Zolner Road ending on Black Lake. Morning reg- istration begins at 7 a.m. each day of the season. Anglers are highly encour- aged to register on Friday, Feb. 1. The 2013 total harvest limit for the state of Michigan is six sturgeon. However, to reduce the chance of exceeding the harvest limit, officials will close the season if one of two scenarios occurs: Once the sixth fish is har- vested, or If five fish have been har- vested at the end of any fish- ing day. Anglers 17 years of age or older must possess a valid all-species fishing license. In addition, all anglers must possess a lake sturgeon tag, available for free from all license vendors. Anglers must have both of these prior to registering for the Black Lake sturgeon season. Fishing hours are 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day of the sea- son. The season will either end at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 6, or when one of the above scenarios is met, at which point anglers will be notified on the ice by DNR personnel that they must immediately stop fishing for lake sturgeon. Anglers will be issued a disposable flag at registration that must be displayed at the entrance of the angler's shanty each day. Anglers that harvest a lake sturgeon must tag the fish immediately and contact an on-ice DNR employee and register the fish at the Zolner Road trailer registration site on Black Lake. Registration may include an examination of internal organs and removal of a piece of fin tis- sue for DNA analysis and aging. Recent changes in registra- tion logistics were developed to allow greater participation by anglers while protecting the population of lake stur- geon in Black Lake from overharvest. Rehabilitation of lake sturgeon in the Cheboygan River watershed is a cooperative effort involv- ing the Department of Natural Resources, the Black Lake Chapter of Sturgeon for Tomorrow, Michigan State University and Tower-Kleber Limited Partnership. Anglers may call the Gaylord Operations Service Center at 989-732-3541 or visit www.michigan.gov/fish- ing for more details.

Beginning with the ultimate in muscle Chrysler 300 SRT8, the ultimate in luxury new Chrysler 300C John Varvatos Luxury Edition, the ultimate audiophile Chrysler 300S with Beats by Dr. Dre, and now arriving in time to tack- le winter, the ultimate all-weather ath- lete the new Chrysler 300 Glacier. From cruising through the city, to escaping away to a snow-covered ski resort, the new 2013 Chrysler 300 Glacier has a commanding design presence and the power and all-weather capability to carve through some of the most snow- covered landscapes. With its state-of-the-art eight-speed automatic transmission, steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters, and a more powerful 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with new sport-tuned exhaust and cold- air induction system delivering 300 horsepower the new 2013 Chrysler 300 Glacier delivers best-in-class fuel economy (18 mpg city / 27 mpg highway, while providing maximum all-weather traction, efficiency and driving perform- ance through the segments most advanced AWD system. For even more power, the new Chrysler 300 Glacier offers the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with four-cylinder mode Fuel Saver Technology to deliver 363 horse- power and up to 23 mpg highway. The Chrysler 300 Glaciers AWD system features a segment-exclusive active transfer case and front-axle-disconnect system to improve real-world fuel econo- my. No other major automotive manu- facturer offers the combination of these two independent technologies. Chrysler 300s innovative AWD system seamlessly transitions between rear-wheel drive and AWD with no driver intervention. When AWD is not required, the system auto- matically disconnects the front axle to maximize fuel economy while still pro- viding the outstanding fun-to-drive per- formance and handling inherent in rear- wheel-drive vehicles. Building on the avant-garde appear- ance of the Chrysler 300S model, the new 300 Glacier features contemporary exterior and interior styling elements for a flagship sedan that delivers refinement within its landmark design. Hinting that this Chrysler 300 sedan was born with an ice-cool demeanor unique body-color fascia accents, along with Gloss Black mirrors, headlamp bezels and Black Chrome sculpted horizontal grille blades give the Glacier a low-key street pres- ence. Emphasizing the Chrysler 300 Glaciers iconic silhouette and head- turning proportions even more is an all- new Gloss Black painted roof option. Filling this AWD sedans wheel wells and aiding in its world-class handling are unique 19-inch eight spoke aluminum wheels finished in Satin Carbon with P235/55R19 all-season performance tires.

The interior of the Chrysler 300 Glacier exudes an athletic-luxury theme with 12- way power driver and passenger sport seats featuring black Falls cloth in the seat centers and leather-wrapped bol- sters in black and finished with black French-seamed stitching. Exclusive use of Piano Black on interior center stack, instrument panel, steering wheel, gauge cluster and door panel elements provide a uniquely lacquered and highly detailed appearance. For even more spirited driv- ing die-cast steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters with sport mode are ergonomically designed behind the 300 Glaciers black leather-wrapped thick- rimmed steering wheel.

Featured Home On the Market Signs That You're Ready to Buy Compliments of Ed Wohlfiel Figuring out whether you're ready to buy a house -- whether you're a renter or are aiming to move up or size down -- can be a daunting task. But there are signs that will indicate whether you're ready to take the buying plunge. If you are thinking about buying, you're not alone. So are you ready to make the move? You might be if you: 1. Are familiar with the market. If you've been paying attention to how much houses are listed for in the neighborhoods you're eyeing and have a realistic view of how much a house will cost you, you're in good shape. But if you're dream- ing about that big corner house with no clue about its asking price, you may want to spend some more time becoming familiar with the market and how much houses are going for. 2. Have the money for a down payment and closing costs. The down payment is a percentage of the value of the property. Freddie Mac says the percentage will be determined by the type of mortgage you select. Down payments usually range from 3 to 20 percent of the property value. Also, you may be required to have Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI or MI) if your down payment is less than 20 percent. Closing costs include points, taxes, title insurance, financing costs and items that must be prepaid or escrowed and other settlement costs. You can expect to pay between from 2 to 7 percent of the property value. Generally, buyers will receive an estimate of these costs from your lender after you apply for a mortgage. 3. Know how much you can afford. Freddie Mac says that as a general guide, your monthly mort- gage payment should be less than or equal to a percentage of your income, usually about a quarter of your gross monthly income. Also, your income, debt and credit histo- ry go into determining how much you can borrow. As a general rule, your debt -credit card bills, car loans, housing expenses, alimony and child support -- should not be more than about 30 to 40 percent of your gross income. 4. Know what additional expens- es will come with owning a home. This includes homeowners insur- ance, utility bills, maintenance costs -- roofing, plumbing, heating and cooling. 5. Have your credit in good shape and make sure your credit report is accurate. Potential lenders will view your credit history -- how much debt you've accrued, how many accounts you have open, whether your payments are made on time, etc. -- to determine whether they'll give you a loan. You should get a report from each of the three credit reporting companies: Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union. 6. You haven't made any recent major purchases, particularly a vehicle. If you do, you may have a harder time getting a loan -- or it could potentially lower the amount you'll be approved for. 10230 Ocqueoc Lake Road, Ocqueoc Contact; Carol Steiger, RE/MAX NORTH, Cheboygan, (231) 627-9991 Lakefront home on beautiful Clear Lake at a fantastic value Real Estate
