    PETOSKEY The Petoskey

    boys of coach Dennis Starkeystaged a resourceful second-

    half rally on Friday against

    visiting Big North foe

    Cadillac but when the final

    buzzer sounded it was still

    the Vikings holding onto a

    razor-thin 47-46 advantage

    on the scoreboard.

    The tough loss ended

    Petoskeys remarkable home

    winning streak at 50, a streak

    that extended way back to

    February of 2008. The heart-

    breaking defeat came during

    the annual Snowcoming

    game in front of a packed

    house.

    Petoskey battled back from

    a 12-point halftime deficit

    and very nearly came all the

    way back.

    A drivin g layup from

    super-tough senior guard

    Sam Baumgartner trimmed

    Cadillacs lead to just threepoints, 47-44, with 45 sec-

    onds to go.

    A subseque nt forced

    turnover fueled by a half-

    court trap gave Petoskey the

    ball back with a chance to tie.

    The 3-pointer was missed

    but opportunistic Joe

    LeBlanc brought down the

    offensive rebound and kissed

    the put-back off the glass to

    make it a one-point game,

    47-46, with less than 30 sec-

    onds left. It turned out to be

    the last points scored in the

    breathtaking game.

    The Northmen did get a

    final chance to tie or pull

    ahead but could not get

    another shot to fall as the

    game clock wound down.

    Petoskey slipped to 10-1

    overall and 5-1 in the league

    with its first loss of the sea-

    son and talented Cadillac

    improved to 9-2 and 4-2.

    Baumgartner blistered the

    nets for a game-high 16

    points and also grabbed four

    rebounds. Erik Davenport,

    who dialed in from long dis-

    tance for a critical trey in the

    midst of the late comeback,drilled 11 points and brought

    down 11 rebounds for a near

    double-double in the critical

    league clash.

    LeBlanc launched eight

    points and dished off four

    assists and steady senior

    guard Quinn Ameel made

    seven points.

    Junior Jalen Brooks

    jammed the iron for 13

    points to lead Cadillac and

    pesky guard Nick Paquet pro-

    duced 11 points and four

    assists.

    Petoskey won the JV game

    70-54 as Parker P-Mo

    Monley propelled 21 pointswhile Jason Bur buried 17

    and Evan Whitmore waxed

    the twine for 13. Tough Teddy

    Tamm tallied eight and Nick

    Mesnard nailed eight as well.

    The Petoskey freshmen

    surged to 10-0 with a 67-41

    victory. Phillip Schaub added

    some shake to the assault

    with his 12 points and

    Brandon Carson collected

    nine. Matt Osterberg, Brent

    Murray and Peter Crittenden

    each cracked the nets for

    eight points.

    ON TUESDAY, Jan. 22,

    Petoskey traveled to Gaylordand battled to get past an

    inspired Blue Devil squad.

    Petoskey eventually pre-

    vailed 55-51 but the Gaylord

    boys of coach Tim ORourke

    made sure the Northmen win

    didnt come easily. Gaylord

    took a 1-9 record into the

    game with the unbeaten

    Northmen and 0-4 in the Big

    North but the Blue Devils

    played much better than

    their record, hustling hard for

    32 minutes, getting back on

    defense and making

    Petoskey work for open looksat the bucket.

    Senior guard Tyler Frisch,

    who has quietly been having

    a solid season for the Blue

    Devils, fired in 17 points and

    helped buoy the Gaylord

    effort with his savvy, tough

    two-way play. Bryan Rabine

    also had a fine showing, ring-

    ing up 14 points, and senior

    guard Tyler Cherry was fruit-

    ful, too, finding the range for

    nine points and turning in

    typically tenacious defense.

    ORourke also noted the

    strong, physical play of Zach

    Lundell under the glass and

    the ball hawking and aggres-sive play of Chris Stout and

    James Dunn.

    Erik Davenport delivered

    22 points for Petoskey to lead

    all scorers to help the

    Northmen avoid the upset.Senior Quinn Ameel

    amassed 16 points and

    sweet-shooting Sam

    Baumgartner struck for 14

    points. Adam Bayer also

    helped Petoskey avoid a

    headache, draining a clutch

    3-pointer.

    Leaping Louie Lamberti

    latched onto five rebounds

    and Joe LeBlanc brought

    down four boards.

    Petoskey won the JV game

    52-43 as Nick Mesnard nailed

    16 points with seven boards

    and Parker P-Mo Monley

    produced 12 points. Evan

    Whitmore waxed the twinefor nine points and helped

    wire the offense with six

    assists.

    The unbeaten Northmen

    freshmen also won a close

    one, 35-29. Parker Goodrichgave the Northmen win a P.G.

    rating, packing in 13 points,

    and Peter Crittenden placed

    10 points through the iron.

    Petoskey (10-1, 5-1) played

    a makeup game at T.C.

    On Friday, Feb. 1, the

    PETOSKEY Its been a

    season of high achievements

    for Petoskey senior wing

    Kelsey Ance and on Friday

    before a packed house in the

    annual Snowcoming game,

    Kelsey added to her laurels.

    Big time.

    Kelsey, calm as a windless

    sea, connected for a layup

    just before the final buzzer

    sounded to lift the Northmento a dramatic 41-40 victory

    over rugged Big North foe

    Cadillac. The win set off a

    spontaneous celebration

    among the Northmen faith-

    ful in the brilliant blue seats

    of the gym.

    Kelseys kiss off the glass to

    secure the come-from-

    behind win pushed

    Petoskeys record to 11-2

    overall and 7-1 in the Big

    North and forced a virtual

    three-way tie in the league

    standings with Cadillac (10-

    3, 6-1) and Traverse City West

    (5-8, 5-1).

    Petoskey finally prevailed

    in a thrilling seesaw affair

    that saw the lead change sev-

    eral times in the final quarter.It was Abby Fuller of

    Cadillac who temporarily put

    her team on top 40-39 with a

    terrific turnaround jumper

    from the top of the key with a

    little less than a minute left to

    play.

    Petoskey had the chance to

    hit a go-ahead shot but

    turned the ball over with just

    8.4 seconds to play. Cadillac

    had a one-and-one opportu-

    nity but missed the front end

    and it was 6-foot-3 senior

    center Megan Tompkins

    soaring high to take down the

    critical rebound. Tompkins

    then took the ball down the

    floor and game took the shot

    that she hoped would win

    the game.Tompkins shot was

    deflected, however. Then it

    was Ance alertly scooping up

    the loose ball and launching

    it skyward just in time to give

    Petoskey its eighth straight

    win and to reverse a 45-38

    loss to the Vikings earlier in

    the season.

    Kelsey connected for nine

    points altogether and cor-

    ralled 11 rebounds.

    Tompkins tallied nine with

    10 boards and she was a tow-

    ering presence in the paint,

    rejecting three Cadillac shots.

    Sophomore sharpshooter

    Kati Lewis launched six

    points and reliable senior

    Alyssa VanWerden waxed the

    nets for six points, too.Hannah Scholten, Liz

    Fraser and Amanda Stinger

    also put some sting into the

    Northmen attack, hitting

    some key buckets to help the

    cause.

    Fuller fired in 14 points to

    lead Cadillac and Katlyn

    Agren put seven on the

    board.

    Cadillac took the JV clash

    31-24. Megan Sysko struck

    for 10 points for Petoskey and

    made 10 rebounds for a dou-

    ble-double and Sarah

    Yankowiak put the yank on

    seven boards to go with four

    points.

    Petoskey took the fresh-

    men game 35-23 as Jillian

    Piotrowski pummeled theiron for 14 points and pulled

    down 11 rebounds for a dou-

    ble-double. Sydney

    Lesperance sunk five points

    for the young Northmen and

    Garland Swenor hung five

    points through the rim.

    Petoskey played atCharlevoix on Tuesday, Jan.

    29, in a non-league clash. On

    Friday, Feb. 1, the Northmen

    play at T.C. Central and on

    Tuesday, Feb. 5, they are

    home against Cheboygan.

    BELLAIRE Give Bellaire

    credit. The Eagles of coach

    Stan Sexton definitely

    showed they are the cream of

    the crop in the Ski Valley this

    season in their 54-40 victory

    at home over toughMancelona.

    The Ironmen came into

    Bellaire on Friday, Jan. 25,

    unbeaten in league play and

    could have forced a tie atop

    the league standings with a

    win. The Eagles would not

    allow it, though. They took an

    early lead and kept it through

    32 minutes of tough, physical

    play.

    Bellaire improved to 8-0

    overall and 6-0 in the league

    with the big win and the

    Ironmen of coach Rick

    Duerksen slipped to 7-3 over-

    all and 7-1 in the league.

    Three players combinedfor all of Mancelonas points

    in the game. Sweet-shooting

    sophomore guard Brandon

    Dingman delivered a team-

    high 17 points to lead the

    way once again. Hard-nosed

    senior forward Brandon

    Scott contributed 12 points

    and slick senior guard Wyatt

    Derrer waxed the nets for 11.

    Denny Hall hit for 19 to

    lead the high-powered Eagles

    while Drew Bailey drained 14

    and Tyler Thornton tallied 12.

    the contest, firing in 15

    points to lead the way.

    Smooth-striding junior for-

    ward Ben Petroleum

    Pearson produced 11 points

    Forest Area 54

    Gaylord St. Mary 45

    FIFE LAKE The

    Snowbirds paid a visit on

    Friday to the court of Forest

    Area, always a tough venue to

    play in, and suffered a 54-45setback in Ski Valley play.

    The undersized Snowbirds

    of coach Ken Blust battled

    aggressively and stayed with

    the taller Warriors for three-

    plus quarters before the

    home team began to pull

    away in the fourth quarter.

    The Snowbirds trailed 23-18

    at halftime and just 36-32

    after three quarters.

    We came out ready to play

    in the first two quarters and I

    thought we were setting the

    tone for the game, Blust

    reported. Even though we

    were really undersized, we

    really took it to them inside.

    But after the half, we came

    out on our heels and let them

    back into the game.

    They really worked the

    glass and got every rebound,he added. We just couldn't

    finish inside, and probably

    had one of our worst shoot-

    ing nights on the year. In the

    end, we did not play four

    quarters of basketball and

    weren't able to finish out.

    Rangy junior forward

    Charles Strehl strummed the

    nets for 19 points to pace St.

    Mary and he also grabbed

    eight rebounds. Gritty Willy

    Canfield contributed eight

    points and was 4-for-4 from

    the line.

    Nick Harrington ham-

    mered home six points with

    four boards and smooth-striding senior Matt

    Spyhalski made four points

    with four rebounds and he

    played his typically strong

    defense, recording four

    steals. Rugged senior Nick

    Lochinski exchanged bruises

    down low and pulled in eight

    rebounds.

    Justin Burke tallied 19 to

    lead the Warriors (7-2) and

    Chris Birgy added 13.

    ON TUESDAY, Jan. 22, the

    Snowbirds outscored Central

    Lake 51-30.

    Lochinski launched a

    game-high 16 points to lead

    the way for St. Mary and hewas a force inside, as usual,

    pulling down nine rebounds.

    Strehl was instrumental in

    the offensive assault as well,

    stroking the nets for 12

    points to go with 11 boards

    for a double-double.

    The versatile Spyhalski

    spanked the twine for seven

    points from the backcourt to

    go with six rebounds and he

    served up some sweet deliv-

    eries to his teammates,

    notching five assists. Pat

    OConnor produced five

    points and five boards and

    Harrington hauled in eight

    rebounds and hit for threepoints.

    Mio 77Atlanta 39

    MIO -- The Mio boys

    remained unbeaten with a

    workmanli ke 77-39 victory

    over visiting Atlanta on

    Friday, Jan. 25, in North Star

    League play. The

    Thunderbolts surged to an

    11-0 overall mark and 9-0 in

    the league.

    Senior guard Micah

    Thomey, the Thunderbolt

    scoring machine who recent-ly surpassed 1,000 points in

    his four-year varsity career,

    tamed the twine for 10 points

    to lead the way and Seth

    Thomey sank 14.

    Jake Chambers chucked in

    15 points for the Huskies and

    senior guard Garrett Badgero

    busted the nets for 12.

    Mio was scheduled to play

    Lincoln-Alcona on Monday

    but that game was post-

    poned because of the weath-

    er.

    Johannesburg-Lewiston 57Pellston 36

    JOHANNESBURG The

    host Cardinals were hotter

    than Texas chili from the

    perimeter in the second half,

    pulling away from scrappy

    Pellston en route to a 57-36

    decision in Ski Valley play on

    Friday, Jan. 25.

    The Cardinals led 17-12,

    31-25 and 48-33 at the quar-

    ter breaks. They also were

    ball hawks on defense, forc-

    ing 28 turnovers.

    Senior sharpshooter Cole

    Nagy connected for 16 points

    to lead a balanced scoring

    assault for J-L. Jake Newell

    jacked the twine for 15 points

    and Logan Huff was lights

    out, launching 14 through

    the iron.

    Pellston senior guard Jake

    Friedenstab, who is having a

    fine season for the Hornets,

    fired in 22 points to lead all

    scorers and he also showed

    lots of scrap and fight inside,

    grabbing nine rebounds. Tall

    Tanner Keller took down

    eight rebounds for the game

    Hornets, who slipped to 1-9

    overall and 1-7 in the confer-

    ence.

    Their defense prevented

    us from getting into a

    rhythm, said Pellston coachCliff Hass.

    J-L (5-6, 4-5) played host to

    St. Mary on Wednesday, Jan.

    30. This Friday, Feb. 1, Forest

    Area comes to town and on

    Wednesday, Feb. 6, the

    mighty Eagles of Bellaire fly

    into Johannesburg.

    Inland Lakes 46Central Lake 39

    INDIAN RIVER The host

    Bulldogs employed a bal-

    anced scoring attack in

    defeating perennial Ski Valleyrival Central Lake by a 46-39

    margin on Friday, Jan. 25.

    Tough Todd Athey tickled

    the twine for 14 points and

    Dakotah Davedowski provid-

    ed a double dose of Vitamin

    D, also hitting for 14 points

    for I-Lakes. The Bulldogs

    trailed 25-20 at halftime and

    36-26 after three quarters

    before staging a furious

    fourth-quarter rally to secure

    the hard-fought win on the

    home floor.

    Davedowski put some

    teeth into the Bulldogs full-

    court attack in the fourth

    quarter that led to a 20-3 run.

    He finished with four steals.

    Freshman Andrew Dufek also

    delivered defensively, secur-

    ing three steals to go with six

    points and five rebounds.

    Will Brockman brought it

    for the Trojans, scoring 19

    points. Central Lake slipped

    to 2-7 overall and 1-6 in the

    league. I-Lakes improved to

    2-8 and 2-5.

    Harbor Light 47Alba 28

    HARBOR SPRINGS Alba

    went to Harbor Light

    Christian on Friday in pur-suit of a first Northern Lakes

    Conference win of the season

    but the Swordsmen had too

    much firepower. Harbor

    Light pulled out a 47-28 vic-

    tory.

    It was the first win of the

    season for Harbor Light (1-

    11, 1-5) while the visiting

    Wildcats slipped to 2-6 over-

    all and 0-5 in the conference.

    while Josh Curtis and Kirk

    play on Wednesday, Jan. 23.

    Carlos Bautista bruised the

    twine for 16 points to lead

    the scoring ledger for the vis-

    iting Cardinals and he was a

    double.

    ever-dangerous Andrew

    Prow produced 14 points,

    ing 11 points to help the

    cause.

    FIFE LAKE -- Visiting

    Pellston played Forest Area

    tough at the court of theWarriors on Wednesday, Jan.

    23, staying with them

    sistent and crashed the

    offensive boards.

    EAST JORDAN The free-throw line wasnt exactly

    charitable for the Grayling

    girls varsity basketball team

    in a hard-fought 58-56 loss to

    Lake Michigan Conference

    rival East Jordan on Friday,

    Jan. 25.

    This was a very close

    game for the entire way, said

    Vikings head coach Joe

    Powers. East Jordan's height

    and size advantage caused us

    difficulty the whole game,

    which forced us to press

    them full court and try and

    wear them down.

    It almost worked as we

    outscored them, 16-7, in thefourth, but we could not con-

    vert on our opportunities,

    he added.

    Grayling (6-6 overall, 2-4

    LMC) struggled to score,

    despite putting up 72 shots

    on the night. That was 21

    more than by the host Red

    Devils.

    Our free-throw shooting

    did not help our cause, as we

    shot 5-for-20 for the game,

    Powers said. In the last

    minute of the game, we had

    our opportunities as we had

    four free throws but could

    not convert.

    Grayling opened the game

    on a seemingly good note,

    battling its way to a 17-15

    lead at the end of the first

    quarter. And, despite a rally

    by the Red Devils in the sec-

    ond stanza, the Lady Vikes

    only trailed by two, 34-32, at

    intermission.

    East Jordan then looked

    like it would take control,

    dominating the Vikings, 17-8,

    in the third quarter. But,

    Grayling returned the favorby outscoring the host team,

    16-7, in the fourth period.

    That helped set up what

    could have been a game-win-

    ning possession for the

    Vikings.

    Down by just two points

    and with 9.2 seconds left on

    the game clock, Grayling

    secured the ball and looked

    for a late shot to either tie or

    win the game.

    Coming off of a timeout,

    we ran a specific play and got

    a great shot off but it rimmed

    out, Powers said. We put

    ourselves in the position to

    win the game on the road butwe just fell short.

    Our girls played very well

    on the road in a hostile envi-

    ronment, he added. Being

    in those close games are

    good for us, because it will

    provide us with the opportu-

    nity to succeed next time.

    Senior guard Caitlin

    Prosser had a solid all-round

    performance with a team-

    leading 15 points, 6 rebounds

    and 1 steal. And, senior for-

    ward Maddie Benardo bat-

    tled her way to 11 points, a

    team-high 13 rebounds, 2

    steals and 2 blocked shots

    against the Red Devils, while

    sophomore forward

    Samantha Denno chipped in

    8 points, 8 rebounds and 2

    blocked shots.

    Other contributors for

    Grayling included: Hailey

    Whittak er 6 points, 5

    rebounds, 2 steals, 2 assists

    and 1 blocked shot; Alyssa

    Morley with 6 points, 5

    boards, 3 assists and 2 steals;

    Hannah Haven with 4 points,

    7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 stealand 1 blocked shot; Tandy

    Mitchell with 4 points, 1

    board and 1 steal; Rachel

    Money with 2 points and 1

    rebound; and Makayla Cragg

    with 1 rebound.

    And, while the final score

    wasnt in the Vikings favor,

    they did win the war on the

    glass, outrebounding East

    Jordan, 48-32. That despite a

    noticeable size advantage for

    the Red Devils.

    East Jordan had four girls

    over 6-foot, which provided

    them with a huge size advan-

    tage, but our girls worked

    especially hard on the boardsbeing led by Maddie with her

    13 boards, Powers said. Our

    guards had to come down

    and try to capture the tipped

    rebounds.

    Due to our size disadvan-

    tage, we were not able to

    secure many boards. He

    added. But, we were able to

    tip the ball, in which our

    guards were able to secure 24

    boards themselves.

    Charlevoix 52Grayling 45

    A second-half rally by the

    Lady Vikes wasnt enough, as

    they fell visiting Charlevoix,

    52-45, on Wednesday, Jan. 23.

    Host Grayling scored 14

    points in both the third and

    fourth quarters, while hold-

    ing Charlevoix to just 22

    points in the half. But that

    wasnt enough to erase the

    Rayders 30-17 halftime lead.

    We struggled mightily

    shooting on this night, as we

    outshot Charlevoix by 17,

    putting up 73 shots for the

    evening, Powers said. Also,we only went to the line for

    six free throws, compared to

    19 times for Charlevoix.

    We were just off on this

    night, he added. We had

    difficulty putting the ball

    through the hoop, especially

    in the fast-paced second

    quarter, which was the decid-

    ing quarter for the game.

    The Rayders outgunned

    Grayling, 20-8, in the second

    stanza.

    We also had the most

    turnovers of the year, with

    many unforced errors.

    Powers said. It was just a

    very difficult night for us.But, despite their struggles,

    Grayling still battled back

    and, with some luck, had its

    chances to go home with a

    win.

    Even with the difficulty,

    we did cut the deficit to f our

    (points) with 3:00 left,

    Powers said. We had the ball

    three different times, being

    down four with the opportu-

    nity to cut the lead.

    We had a tough night but

    because our girls fought to

    the end, worked hard with

    the full-court press, we still

    put ourselves in a position to

    steal a win. I'm proud of my

    girls because, no matter

    what, there is no quit in

    them.

    Grayling was paced by

    Whittaker with 13 points, 5

    rebounds and 3 steals.

    Morley was the only other

    Viking in double figures with

    10 points, 2 rebounds, 4

    steals and 1 assist.

    Other contributors for the

    Lady Vikes against

    Charlevoix included: Denno

    with 8 points, 7 boards, 2

    steals and 2 blocked shots;

    Benardo with 4 points, a

    team-best 9 rebounds, 2

    steals and 2 blocked shots;

    Prosser with 4 points, 8

    rebounds, 3 assists and 1

    blocked shot; Cragg with 4

    points, 3 rebounds and 1

    assist; Haven with 2 points, 1

    board, 2 steals and 1 assist;

    and Money with 1 rebound.

    Chiefs churn out win over BC

    By Mike Dunn

    CHEBOYGAN The

    Cheboygan girls of coach

    Jason Purcell made it back-

    to-back victories on Monday

    with an impressive 64-46 win

    over visiting non-league foe

    Boyne City.

    Cheboygan, which edged

    Straits Area Conference foeNewberry in a defensive

    struggle the Friday before,

    improved to 9-4 overall with

    the win over the Ramblers.

    The Chiefs are also 3-3 in

    league play. Boyne City,

    which is better than its

    record shows, slipped to 4-9.

    The Chiefs used a second-

    half surge to pull away from

    the pesky Ramblers on

    Monday. The game was tied

    at 40 in the third quarter

    when junior forward Holly

    Socolovitch ignited what

    turned out to be a game-

    turning 16-1 run with a rain-

    bow jumper from the lane.

    The Soco-Motion shot got

    the ball rolling in the right

    direction.

    Holly had the hot hand for

    Cheboygan through much of

    the game, finishing with a

    game-high 18 points and she

    was a physica l presence

    under the glass as well, cor-

    ralling nine boards.

    Scrap-iron tough sopho-

    more guard Brooke Hancock

    pulled the trigger on 15

    points and was a two-way

    force with her fierce floor

    play. She contributed three

    steals and three assists inaddition to her scoring

    touch.

    Sammie Buhr was a beast

    on defense for the Chiefs. She

    covered Boyne Citys danger-

    ous Rainey McCune like a

    second coat of skin. Rainey

    poured in 15 points in the

    first half but was limited to

    four points in the second half

    with Buhr surrounding her at

    every turn. Buhr also brought

    down five boards and scored

    four.

    Mariah Rozek rang up

    eight points to help the cause

    and Macey Charboneau,

    another one of the sterling

    sophomores on the Chiefsvarsity roster, churned out

    seven points with five

    rebounds.

    Sophomore point guard

    Bridget Blaskowski had a

    blast finding open team-

    mates, finishing with seven

    assists on the night. Senior

    guard Caitlin McNeil scored

    five in spite of early foul trou-

    ble.

    The Cheboygan JV some-

    how got the W in a real

    nail-biter, 49-14. Katie

    Swiderek swamped the iron

    for nine points for the young

    Chiefs, who also improved to

    9-4, and Shalynn Salter

    struck for eight points and

    Delaney Gravlin delivered

    eight points.

    ON FRIDAY, Cheboygan

    secured a 35-22 victory over

    Newberry in a slow-down

    slugfest of a game on the

    Chiefs home floor. The

    Soco-Motion of junior

    Holly Socolovitch in the paint

    was a big factor in the out-

    come as he generated 11

    points from the under the

    glass while exchanging bruis-

    es with the Indian defenders.

    She also grabbed eight

    rebounds.McNeil nailed nine points

    with five rebounds and

    Hancock connected for six

    points with three assists.

    Macey Charboneau made

    four points and muscled

    down five boards.

    43-34 in spite of nine points

    from Hannah Hudak and

    seven from Autumn Hudak.

    points and 11 boards as visit-

    ing Pellston outscored Inland

    Lakes 39-32 in a physical,

    hard-fought Ski Valley clash

    on Thursday, Jan. 24.

    Pellston coach Barb

    Ingraham credited ball secu-

    rity as a key in the victorious

    outcome.

    Pellston led by just a point,

    21-20, at halftime of the see-

    saw affair and went into the

    fourth quarter with the game

    tied at 28. Pellston employed

    a pressuring defense to cre-ate some problems for the

    battling Bulldogs in the

    fourth quarter and outscored

    the home team 11-4 to attain

    the win.

    Tori Kirsch stood tall for

    the Hornets, tickling the

    twine for 12 points, and

    Breah Carter was Wonder

    Woman on defense, blanket-

    ing the floor like wall-to-wall

    carpeting and recording a

    whopping nine steals.

    Pellston improved to 4-5

    overall and 3-5 in the league

    and I-Lakes slipped to 4-5

    and 3-5.

    Pellston won the JV game46-40 behind the steaming

    hot hand of Hannah Carter,

    who connected for 22 of the

    ROSOMMON The

    Grayling boys varsity basket-

    ball team was absolutelydominating in a smashing

    66-43 win over the host

    Roscommon Bucks in a non-

    conference matchup on

    Saturday, Jan. 26.

    The visiting Vikings (8-2

    overall) were in control the

    entire game, scoring 19

    points in both the first two

    periods, while holding

    Roscommon (9-4 overall) to

    only 17 points for the entire

    half. The combination pro-

    vided Grayling with a com-

    fortable 38-17 advantage at

    the half.

    I very pleased with our

    defensive intensity early in

    the game, said Grayling

    head coach Rich Moffit. Our

    team played very well defen-

    sively and our press was top-

    notch.

    The game was a bit more

    evenly played after the inter-

    mission, with Grayling only

    outscoring Roscommon by

    one point in both the third

    and fourth stanzas.

    We did not lose any inten-

    sity when we went to our

    bench, Moffit added. I am

    very pleased with how we

    meshed on the court defen-

    sively.

    Junior forward-center

    Justice Junttila had a mon-

    ster game, according to his

    coach, leading the Grayling

    hoopsters with 18 points, 10

    boards, 5 steals and 1 assist.

    Junior guard Tyler

    McClanahan also tallied dou-

    ble-digits with 15 points, 1

    rebound, 1 steal and 1 assist.And, they had plenty of

    help. Senior guard-forward

    Scott Parkinson chipped in 8

    points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists

    and 1 steal against the Bucks,

    while junior swingman Jake

    Swander added 8 points, 3

    boards, 3 steals and 1 assist.

    Swander and Parkinson

    provided great (defense) with

    our press, Moffit said.

    Other contributors for

    Grayling in Saturdays win

    included: Matt Burrell 6

    points, 2 steals, 1 rebound

    and 1 blocked shot; Tyler

    Powers 4 points and 2 steals;

    Michael Branch 3 points, 2boards and 2 steals; Wes

    Dean 2 points, 3 rebounds, 1

    steal and 1 assist; Richie

    Sanford 2 points and 1

    rebound; Peyton Zigila with 2

    boards, 2 steals and 1 block;

    Carson Burmeister with 2

    steals and 1 rebound; and

    Tyler Summers with 1

    rebound.

    Tyler Powers continues to

    provide our team with solid

    play, Moffit said. He has

    improved a ton over the last

    three weeks.

    Matt Burrell was an offen-

    sive spark off the bench, the

    coach added. MichaelBranch provided a ton of

    energy with his inside play.

    Grayling 66East Jordan 49

    The game against Lake

    Michigan Conference rival

    East Jordan on Friday, Jan. 25,

    didnt start out the way Moffitand the visiting Vikings

    would have liked, but

    Grayling was still able to walk

    away with a solid 66-49 victo-

    ry at the end of the night.

    The Vikings closed out the

    game by nearly shutting out

    the Red Devils in the final

    stanza, outscoring their

    hosts, 13-1. That after East

    Jordan had whittled

    Graylings 38-31 halftime

    lead down to five points, 53-

    48, at the end of the third

    quarter.

    We started the game out

    on the wrong end of an 8-0

    East Jordan run and the sec-

    ond half out with a 9-0 East

    Jordan run, Moffit said. We

    outscored East Jordan, 66-32,

    the rest of the way.

    We need to eliminate our

    opponents big runs and play

    at a more consistent level,

    he added.

    McClanahan had a big

    night in scoring a team-high

    23 points, 2 rebounds, 4

    steals and 2 assists, leading a

    trio of Grayling scores in

    double figures. Junttila bat-

    tled his way to 12 points, 6

    rebounds and 2 steals, with

    Swander hitting for 10 points,

    3 boards and 2 steals in the

    win over the Red Devils.

    Other contributors for the

    victorious Vikes included:

    Dean 7 points, 6 rebounds, 1

    steal and 1 assist; Parkinson 6

    points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals

    and 1 assist; Branch 4 points,

    6 boards, 1 steal and 1 assist;

    Powers 4 points, 2 boards, 3

    steals and 2 assists; and

    Burmeister with 2 rebounds,

    1 steal and 1 assist.

    I was very pleased with

    how we persevered through

    the early East Jordan runs

    and battled back, Moffit

    said. Michael Branch and

    Tyler Powers provided energy

    coming off the bench with

    their inspired play.

    Our kids kept their com-

    posure and played very well

    down the stretch.

    Victories over Cheboygan and Mid-Michiganare followed by tough loss to Petoskey

    Ba Reps engage in

    league contestsBy Doug Derrer

    TRAVERSE CITY -- Playing

    before a full house in the

    annual home game at the

    Kalkaska Kaliseum, the Bay

    Reps hosted the Cheboygan

    Chiefs on Wednesday, Jan.

    16, in the first of three con-

    secutive Northern Michigan

    Hockey League homematches.

    Zack Bargy set up Zach

    Hill for a zooming goal just

    21 seconds into the contest

    to get the Reps off to a quick

    start, but the Chiefs would

    score twice in the opening

    period to take a 2-1 lead into

    the first intermission.

    Tim Barber was razor

    sharp as he scored on an

    unassisted goal in the sec-

    ond period for the Reps and

    the score would be tied at

    two heading into the final

    period.

    Hill scored his second goalof the night 37 seconds into

    the final period but Zach

    Schley countered with a

    Chiefs goal three minutes

    later to tie the score at 3.

    Nate Wilson gave the Reps

    the lead 51 seconds later,

    however, and a Bargy goal 11

    seconds after that gave the

    Reps a hard-fought 5-3 win.

    Jay Jones stopped 17 Chief

    shots to earn the win in net

    for the Reps.

    ON FRIDAY, Jan. 18, the

    Reps took on the Mid-

    Michigan Storm. After dom-

    inating play for most of the

    first period the Reps scored

    three goals in the final fourminutes of the opening peri-

    od to take a 3-0 lead into the

    intermission.

    The ubiquitous Bargy had

    two goals and Nitro Nick

    Sicinski exploded for a goal

    for the Reps. Chase Joppich

    contributed two assists and

    Trevor Apsey and R.J.

    Deneweth one each in the

    first period.

    Andrew Dzierwa scored

    twice for the Reps in the sec-

    ond period with Joppich,

    Josh Hill, Gavin Uitvlugt,

    Wilson and Zach Hill scoring

    single goals in the period tolead the Reps to a tense 10-1

    mercy win in two periods

    over the Storm.

    Cool Claire Huhta and

    calm Cam McCumby com-

    bined to shut out Mid-

    Michigan for the Reps in net.

    ON SATURDAY, Jan. 19,

    the Reps faced Petoskey in a

    rematch from 10 days

    before. The Reps needed a

    win over Petoskey to keep

    pace with the Northmen in

    the Northern Michigan

    Hockey League race.

    Travis Kirk gave the Reps a

    1-0 lead with 9:26 left in the

    opening period with an

    assist from Apsey. The

    opportunistic Apsey scored

    a power play goal for the

    Reps early in the second

    period, but goals by

    Northmen Derek Smith and

    Ken Forton tied the game at

    2-2 heading into the final

    period.

    After several good scoring

    chances by both sides, high-

    flying Skye Pieffer put the

    biscuit in the basket for

    Petoskey with 4:38 left and

    the Northmen would holdon for a hard-fought 3-2 win.

    The Reps are now 7-11 on

    the season with home con-

    test this Friday and Saturday,

    Feb. 1-2, against Manistee

    and Monroe St. Mary's

    Catholic Central.

    Galord captures Northern

    ChampionshipsBy Mike Dunn

    GAYLORD It was a domi-

    nating, impressive perform-

    ance by the Gaylord wrestling

    team of coach Jerry LaJoie on

    the home mats Saturday.

    The Blue Devils had two

    individual champions and

    three finalists and had ninewho placed in their weight

    class in all in winning the

    prestigious, 29-team

    Northern Michigan

    Championships.

    Junior Seth Lights Out

    Lashuay at 112 pounds and

    senior Trent Hunt at 152

    pounds went undefeated on

    the day to win individual

    titles for Gaylord and senior

    Hunter Warden was runner-

    up at 160 pounds.

    The Blue Devils amassed

    140.5 points to edge second-

    place Roscommon (126) and

    third-place St. Ignace (122.5).

    Ogemaw Heights (116) took

    fourth and perennial U.P.

    power Gladstone (112) was

    fifth.

    Other area teams compet-

    ing in Saturdays event

    included eighth-place

    Grayling with 84.5 points fol-

    lowed by Petoskey (10th

    place, 78 points), Onaway

    (17th, 43), Mio (18th, 42),

    Cheboygan (20th, 35) and

    Mancelona (24th, 24).

    The lightning-quick

    Lashuay, who improved to

    35-5, secured two first-peri-

    od pins and a tech fall beforetaking a 3-0 decision from

    Eric Wales of T.C. St. Francis

    in the finals.

    Hunt, who engaged foes

    like a hungry predator with

    the scent of raw meat in his

    nostrils, had a rough road to

    the finals. After winning by

    pin and major decision in his

    first two bouts, he took on

    rugged Brandon Handrich of

    Grayling in the semifinals

    and the two warriors went at

    it for six hard minutes with

    Hunt finally coming out on

    top 4-2. In the finals, Hunt

    took on another very tough

    foe, Travis Keller of Escanaba,

    and outscored the U.P. rival

    9-7 in a thrilling, seesaw bat-

    tle. Hunt improved to 40-2

    this season.

    Warden (35-5) earned a

    hard-fought 13-11 overtime

    decision against Gladstones

    Brandon Gagnon in the

    semifinals before losing a

    tough one to Nathan

    Wynkoop of Ogemaw

    Heights in the finals.

    Other Blue Devil medalists

    on the day included super

    sophomores Jeff Heinz (130)

    and Tristan Gregory (189) inthird place; fighting fresh-

    man Jonah Foote (103) in

    fifth place; freshman Shane

    Foster (171) in sixth; and jun-

    ior Matt Kempfer (125) and

    senior Roger Gordon (135) in

    eighth.

    FOR GRAYLING, fearsome

    freshman Jon Martin pushed

    his personal log to 28-2 as he

    won the individual title at

    103 pounds. Martin com-

    pletely dominated the weight

    class, recording two pins and

    two tech falls.

    Handrich (32-1) was unde-

    feated going into the tourna-

    ment and lost for the first

    time when he dropped the

    narrow decision to Hunt in

    the semifinals. Handrich

    rebounded to take a tech fall

    over Petoskeys Cam Plath for

    third place.

    Other medalists for the

    Viking s included fourth -

    place finisher Zack Cheney

    (130) and seventh-place fin-

    isher Nick Petrie (160).

    PETOSKEY had seven

    medalists in all and two

    third-place finishers.

    Senior Jordan Haggerty

    (215) and junior Nick Strobel(145) each earned third for

    the Northmen. Haggerty

    rebounded from a razor-thin

    2-1 defeat to Marquettes

    highly regarded Joe Iwanicki

    in the semifinals to pin Josh

    Parks of Kingsley in the con-

    solation finals. The strong-

    armed Strobel came back to

    edge Conner Mills of Boyne

    City 3-1 in the consolation

    finals after losing to Steven

    Kymes of the Sault in the

    semifinals.

    Other medalists for the

    Northmen included Cam

    Plath (152) in fourth place,

    Mike Kibbe (119) in fifth

    place, Scott Kibbe (112) in

    seventh place, and Trevor

    Denoyer (171) and James

    Gazarto (285) in eighth.

    ONAWAY had four medal-

    ists on the day, including

    rawhide-tough freshman

    Isaac Nave, who claimed

    third at 103 pounds. Ice

    Man Ike rebounded from a

    loss to eventual champion

    Jon Martin of Grayling in the

    semifinals to take the chill

    out of Vincent Priante of T.C.

    West in the third period in

    the consolation finals.Junior Casey Watson (189)

    took fifth for the Cardinals

    while Morgan Robins (140)

    secured sixth and Justin

    Ahnert (160) took eighth.

    FOR MIO, it was the minia-

    ture Mack Truck plowing his

    way to the title at 125

    pounds. Senior Zach Mack, a

    two-time state qualifier for

    the Thunderbolts, pushed his

    personal log to 32-1 this sea-

    son while winning all three of

    his bouts by pin on Saturday.

    In the finals against Matthew

    Elliott of Forest Area, Mack

    went on the attack in the

    third period and put Elliott

    down with just 10 seconds

    left.

    CHEBOYGAN had three

    medalist on the day, includ-

    ing Nick Comps, who pinned

    Peoske# bo"s o champion Trojans

    By Mike Dunn

    GAYLORD The young

    Gaylord hockey team did

    some good things and

    played well in stretches over

    the weekend in games at the

    Sportsplex against Big North

    foe Traverse City West on

    Friday and St. Marys

    Collegiate Prep on Saturday.Unfortunately, the Blue

    Devils are still in pursuit of

    that elusive first W of the

    season.

    In Gaylords 5-2 loss to T.C.

    West in front of the home

    crowd, Blake Millers bold

    move led to a mini-break-

    away and a sweet, unassist-

    ed short-handed goal for

    Gaylord, trimming Wests

    lead to 2-1early in the sec-

    ond period. It was Blakes

    first goal.

    The Titans pushed the

    lead to 4-1 before the end of

    the period but tenaciousAnthony Tommy Gun

    Tomaski tore the twine in

    the back of the net with a

    blistering blast for the Blue

    Devils to make the score 4-2.

    Tomaski had help from

    Garrett Richardson and

    Trevor Raymond in scoring

    his seventh goal of the cam-

    paign.

    The Titans put 28 shots on

    goal and Gaylord goalie

    Ethan ODell turned back 23

    of them. Gaylord had 22 on

    net.

    ON SATURDAY, Gaylord

    dropped an 8-4 decision to

    St. Marys.

    Once again it was theopportunistic Mr. Miller

    scoring the first Gaylord goal

    of the contest. Blake busted

    loose and blistered the puck

    past sprawling St. Marys

    goalie Nick Berlingueri for

    his second goal in two

    games. Seth Muzyl, back

    from his shoulder injury, set

    up Blakes blast.

    In the second period,

    Missile Mitch Lawton

    launched a rocket that rang

    the scoring lamp to score

    Gaylords second goal of the

    contest. It was Lawtons sixth

    goal of the season and hehad help from Garrett

    Richardson and Cam Laug.

    In the third period, Muzyl

    added more muscle to the

    attack, putting his sixth goal

    between the pipes, and

    Sudden Sam Black, gradu-

    ate of the School of Sock,

    slammed one home for the

    fourth goal of the night.

    Muzyl assisted on Blacks

    goal, giving him a goal and

    two assists in the game.

    Trevor Raymond tagged his

    fourth assist on Muzyls goal

    and Black acquired an assist

    on Muzyls goal as well.

    Gaylord moved the puck

    efficiently and generated a

    whopping 38 shots on goal

    in the game. Andrew Kinach

    relieved Berlingueri in the

    nets midway through the

    second period and he

    stopped 21 of the shots the

    rest of the way, including 18

    in the final period.

    Ethan ODell turned away

    17 shots.

    Gaylord played at

    Cheboygan on Wednesday,

    Jan. 30. On Friday, Feb. 1, the

    Blue Devils play host to Big

    North foe Petoskey and on

    Saturday, Feb. 2, they travel

    south to take on Mount

    Pleasant.

    #: H;:

    Wrestling

    Hunt, Lashuay win individual titles as Blue Devils place innine weight classes in 29-team tourney

    By Mike Dunn

    PETOSKEY It was a mem-

    orable night for the Traverse

    City Central hockey team; a

    forgettable one for host

    Petoskey.

    The Northmen struggled to

    get any kind of offensive

    attack under way against the

    swarming Trojan defense

    while at the other end

    Central was distributing the

    puck efficiently and generat-

    ing several hard shots on net.

    The result was an 8-0

    mercy-rule win for the

    Trojans. It also gave them the

    Big North Conference cham-

    pionship for the second year

    in a row.

    Central improved to 16-2

    and remained unbeaten in

    the Big North with an 8-0 log.

    The Northmen slipped to 11-

    8 overall and 2-4 in the very

    tough league.

    Cam Givens connected for

    a hat trick to lead Central and

    Cooper MacDonnell deliv-

    ered two goals.

    The Trojans out-shot

    Petoskey 33-14 on the night

    and proved why they well

    deserve to hoist the league

    championship trophy again.

    Petoskey returns to action

    on Friday, Feb. 1, at the

    Sportsplex in Gaylord for

    another Big North battle.

    Cadillac ATSWins 2013

    North AmericanCar of the Year

    The 2013 Cadillac ATS luxury sport

    sedan today was named the winner

    of the North American Car of the

    Year award. A jury of 49 automotive

    journalists considered every new car

    released in the past year, and select-

    ed ATS as the winner. The award was

    announced at a press conference

    opening the 25th annual North

    American International Auto Show.

    "This is a very meaningful honor

    for the entire Cadillac team, espe-cially the men and women who

    build the ATS in Lansing, Michigan,

    and our dedicated and talented

    designers and engineers, said Bob

    Ferguson, GM vice president, global

    Cadillac. A car like ATS is the result

    of incredible commitment and

    focus. Thats the only method for

    creating a great performing luxury

    car."

    The new ATS is the lightest car in

    its class with a unique architecture

    designed for nimble driving per-

    formance. The North American Car

    of the Year award is the latest in a

    growing list of accolades for the ATS,

    which was named Car of the Year by

    Esquire, and the Motor Press Guild,

    as well as several other awards.

    A compact sport sedan, the ATS is

    offered in rear- and all-wheel drive
