Winless Gaylord
next for Northmen
by Andy Sneddon
PETOSKEY
Tried and true, con-
sistent and depend-
able.
Thats the way
most high school
football coaches
like it.
So when coach Kerry VanOr-
man says he and his Petoskey
Northmen are taking them one
at a time, one tends to take him
at his word.
That said, it would be hard to
overstate the importance of
Petoskeys 42-37 Big North Con-
ference victory last week at Cur-
tis Field over Traverse City
Central.
It was a win the Northmen
needed in the worst way, first
and foremost to keep their play-
off hopes alive, but also to re-
store a measure of confidence
that perhaps had slowly slipped
away during a three-game losing
streak, Petoskeys longest since
the 2007 season.
All in all it was a very good
win for our kids, VanOrman
said. We needed that after three
tough losses. I think that from a
confidence point of view it was
big for our kids, no doubt it.
It lifted the Northmen to 3-3
overall and 1-2 in the league.
Needing six wins to guarantee
themselves a playoff berth,
Petoskey now faces Gaylord and
Alpena in back-to-back Big
North games. The Blue Devils
and Wildcats are a combined 1-
11. The Northmen close the regu-
lar season at West Branch
Ogemaw Heights, 4-2.
This game here really turns it
back, said Northmen senior and
captain, Chase Ledingham, after
the win over Central. We start
the process again, we get rolling
again. Everyone re-starts. We
showed what we could really do.
Which is plenty, particularly
when the Northmen offense is
hitting on all cylinder as it was
against the Trojans, 3-3, 1-2.
The Northmen used their
trademark ball-control offense to
win a battle of contrasting styles
against the Trojans, whose wing-
it and fling-it spread offense pro-
vided plenty of highlights. The
teams combined for more than
700 yards in total offense and the
Trojans hit three quick-strike
scoring plays, each of which cov-
ered 66 yards or more.
But in the end, the Northmen
did what they have done so often
and so successfully in the
past: Control the ball, control the
clock, seize the lead, and grind
down the opponent.
I thought the kids up front
had their best game of the year
and really, for whatever reason,
sometimes things click with
kids, VanOrman said. I think
our backs ran really hard and
with some determination. I think
you saw a bunch of kids grow in
confidence as the game went on.
It was a very good performance.
Indeed. Ledingham finished
with 160 yards on 30 carries and
scored a school-record tying five
touchdowns, while Kurt Boucher
added 127 yards and a TD on 25
attempts. The Northmen fin-
ished with 334 yards on the
ground, and quarterback Evan
Whitmore completed 4-of-5 pass
attempts for 35 yards.
We were prepared for this,
Ledingham said. We were ready
to go. It really means a lot. Im
proud of my line. They did a
great job. All week we really
went hard, and we really focused
on the little things. The little
things matter, especially in our
offense because we need to be a
well-oiled machine and if its
not, it doesnt go our way.
Central countered with 233
passing yards from quarterback
Sean Williams and four TDs from
dual-threat running back/re-
ceiver Ethan Campball. Williams
completed 16-of-28 pass attempts
for three TDs. He connected with
Campbell on two of the TDs, one
covering 66 yards, the other 18.
Campbell also ran 74 and 68
yards for TDs.
The teams traded TDs on the
games first five possessions, fol-
lowing nearly to a T their respec-
tive offensive philosophies.
In tortoise-and-the-hare fash-
ion:
Petoskey struck first with a
67-yard, eight-play drive, capped
by Ledinghams 4-yard run.
Central scored on its first
play from scrimmage, a 74-yard
Campbell run.
Petoskey came back with 14-
play, 72-yard march, ending in a
12-yard Ledingham TD run.
Central scored on the third
play of its next possession, with
Williams connecting with Camp-
bell on a 66-yard TD pass play.
Petoskey responded, going
67 yards in 13 plays with Boucher
scoring from 4 yards out.
When the dust settled on that
worth-the-price-of-admission ex-
change, the Northmen led, 21-14.
We both did what we do,
Central coach Tom Passinault
said. Were a spread them out,
get the ball to our playmakers
(type of team) and that worked
extremely well for us. They grind
it out and they chewed a bunch
of clock.
Still, somebody had to play
some defense, and the Northmen
struck a blow late in the second
quarter, and it was a turn of
events that eventually would
prove critical.
With Central working from its
own 20-yard line, Petoskey senior
safety Steven Snider intercepted
a Williams pass and returned it
to the 14 yards to the Trojans 26.
Eight plays later, Ledingham
scored on a 5-yard run and
Nathaniel Reed booted his fourth
extra point of the night, extend-
ing Petoskeys lead to 28-14.
Central got a 37-yard field goal
from Jake Gorter as time ran out
in the first half, cutting the
Northmen lead to 28-17.
But clearly, the Snider inter-
ception that led to a TD turned
the game in Petoskeys favor.
And while Central continued to
lap at the Northmens heels
throughout the second half the
Trojans drew to 28-23 and then
35-30 Petoskey refused to relin-
quish the advantage, a credit to
its ball-control gind-it-out offense
overall, and its front seven in
particular.
I think our kids, as the game
moved on, they felt they were
going to move the football,
VanOrman said. Just the line
surge said a lot to me. We havent
been able to do that consistently
this year at all.
Ledingham, who now shares
the school single-game TD mark
with two legends, Irv Menzel and
Joe Robbins, came up with two
game-changing plays on defense
as well.
With the Northmen clinging to
a 35-30 lead, Central took over at
its own 28-yard line after
Petoskeys one and only punt of
the night. With the Trojans fac-
ing a second-down-and-6 at their
own 33, Ledingham threw
Williams for a 3-yard loss. An in-
complete pass set up a fourth-
and-9 from the 30, and
Ledingham, blitzing from his in-
side linebacker position, sacked
Williams, giving Petoskey the
ball at the Trojan 20 with 3 min-
utes, 24 seconds remaining.
Petoskey went from the 20 to
the 12, where it faced fourth-and-
2. Needing just 2 yards for the
first down, Ledingham got it, and
then some, emerging from a
scrum of players just beyond the
line of scrimmage and following
a devastating block by guard
James Gazarato into the end
zone. Reeds extra point kick
made it 42-30 with under 2 min-
utes to play.
The block by Gazarato was
symbolic of the way the North-
men front seven Gazarato, Alex
Pionk, Trevor Denoyer, Chandler
Matelski, Jeremy Hiatt, Shea
Whitmore and Anthony Duran
performed all night.
And the hope, of course, in the
Petoskey camp is that that con-
tinues as the Northmen continue
in their quest for a playoff berth.
With that, VanOrman returns to
the one-at-a-time battle cry.
We cant even think about
playoffs or anything else yet
until you get there, he said,
turning his attention to a Gay-
lord team that is 0-6 under coach
Will Cleaver, who is in the first
year of his second stint in
charge of the program.
Cleaver coached the Blue Dev-
ils from 2000-07, leading them to
a 55-24 record and six playoff ap-
pearances.
Gaylord lost to Big North-lead-
ing and unbeaten Cadillac, 41-0,
last week. Its been a struggle for
the Blue Devils to score points.
Their highest point total this sea-
son was 14 (in a 35-14 loss to T.C.
Central), and three times they
have been able to muster just
seven points.
This is a big game for us,
VanOrman said. Theyre (Gay-
lord) doing a lot of things, really,
the right way. Theyve looked
tough defensively and theyve
held their own. I dont think
their record indicates how well
theyve played, or how far
theyve come. I think theyre
headed in the right direction.

GAYLORD The Gaylord foot-
ball team faced a formidable op-
ponent on the home field Friday
and kept things close through
the first half and into the third
quarter. Cadillac proved to have
too many weapons to keep
under wraps, however. The
Vikings scored four second-half
touchdowns to pull away and
beat Gaylord 41-0.
The Blue Devils (0-6, 0-3) re-
mained winless with the home-
coming loss while Cadillac,
ranked fourth in Div. 4, re-
mained unbeaten (6-0, 3-0).
The first half was one of the
best stretches of football that
Gaylord has played this season.
The swarming, aggressive Blue
Devil defense, spearheaded by
the predatory play of lineback-
ers Zach Hayner, Tristan Gre-
gory and Lance Chapman and
the penetration of fireplug nose
guard Marcus ORourke and
linemen Forest Madagame and
Nick Parker, corralled the elu-
sive, explosive Brooks and kept
him from breaking loose for
long scores.
The Blue Devil offense, as has
been the case for much of the
season, moved the ball between
the 20s but struggled again get-
ting the ball into the end zone.
That happened again in the sec-
ond quarter of Fridays game.
Junior signal caller Steven
Fitzek hooked up with junior
receiver Collin Watters on a
highlight-reel slant-in play that
brought the ball to the Viking 4-
yard line. Watters made a spec-
tacular catch between two
Viking defenders.
The Blue Devils pounded the
ball on first down to the 1-yard
line. On second down, though,
there was a breakdown in
blocking and the Vikings were
able to charge in and tackle
hard-charging sophomore run-
ning back Shane Foster for a 3-
yard loss. On third down from
the 4, Fitzek rolled out but there
was excellent coverage in the
end zone. On fourth down,
Fitzek found a receiver but the
ball was dropped in the end
zone.
Finishing drives has been a
challenge for the young Blue
Devils this season. Even so,
Gaylord played a very good first
half against a very talented op-
ponent on Friday.
We played a pretty good first
half, coach Will Cleaver said.
The score probably should
have been 7-7 at halftime. Defen-
sively, we played a very solid
half against a kid (Brooks)
whos an outstanding player.
Cleaver was particularly
pleased with the aggressive
play and the accurate reads of
linebackers Hayner and Chap-
man.
On the offensive side, Cleaver
noted the reliable receiving and
blocking of tight end Zach
Pasternak, who has been con-
sistently competent week after
week.
Foster, who attacks full speed
ahead on every carry, found
some daylight on sweeps and
picked up a team-high 76 yards
rushing in the contest.
Fitzek, who continues to im-
prove week by week, hit six
completions for 75 yards, in-
cluding hook-ups with Paster-
nak and Watters.
Gaylord travels this Friday to
Petoskey, where the Northmen
are celebrating homecoming.
Petoskey (3-3, 1-2) is coming off
a huge come-from-behind win
over Big North foe T.C. Central
to remain in the playoff hunt.
The Northmen have to run the
table now with home games
against Gaylord and Alpena be-
fore a week-nine game on the
road against Ogemaw Heights.
Petoskey has a real effective
offense, Cleaver said. Kerrys
done a really nice job with their
ball-control scheme. He doesnt
ask the kids to do things they
cant do. He allows them to be
successful.
It wont be a mystery what
Petoskey runs but stopping the
Northmen is another matter.
The key for us is controlling
the line of scrimmage and
being able to be very disci-
plined with our reads, Cleaver
said. They run the same stuff
over and over and take advan-
tage of you when you dont
make your reads. Its going to
be critical to be disciplined up
front. We want to slow them
down and keep them in their
own end. Once they get past
midfield, thats usually four-
down territory for them.
Cleaver said the Petoskey de-
fense is well-coached with ef-
fective schemes and is one of
the best disciplined defenses
hes seen.
Our passing game has to be
effective because well need
some big plays, he added.
They put eight in the box, so
were gonna have to loosen
them up by throwing the foot-
ball.

SAGINAW No one will ever ac-
cuse longtime Gaylord cross coun-
try coach Jeff Kalember of shying
away from tough challenges.
Kalembers harriers competed
Saturday in the 26th annual Sagi-
naw Heritage Invitational meet
against some outstanding Div. 1
and Div. 2 competition.
The Gaylord boys came in fifth
overall and first among D-2
schools and the girls took sixth
and third among D-2 schools be-
hind Cadillac and Essexville-Gar-
ber. Kalember was quite pleased
with the results, noting there were
huge improvements in times.
Gaylord had two top-10 finishers
in the boys race and one in the
girls meet. For the boys, seniors
Sterling McPherson and Josh
Green formed a potent 1-2 punch
once again. McPherson pushed to
a ninth-place time of 17:09 with
Green in his shadow, earning 10th
with a time of 17:10. For the girls,
it was smooth-striding sophomore
Alexis Smith adding another
notch to what is becoming a bril-
liant campaign with a sixth-place
time of 20:17.
Coming in behind McPherson
and Green for the boys were fight-
ing freshman Jack Hervela (18:14,
40th), junior Collin Monusko
(18:29, 51st), freshman Zak God-
dard (18:29, 52nd), freshman Justin
Desloover (20:05, 85th) and sopho-
more Brendan Westenbarger
(20:06, 86th).
Our boys team has taken a nice
drop in times this last week, run-
ning probably our best race of the
season, Kalember reported. We
solidly thumped Cadillac after
being beaten by them last Tuesday
(Oct. 1) at the Big North meet in
Traverse City. The boys also were
fairly close to Alpena andCOULD
finish a solid third in the BNC fi-
nals next Tuesday at our home
course if we can put together an-
other nice time drop.
Kalember noted how McPher-
son and Green provided strong
up front power and the 3-4-5
pack continued to improve at Her-
itage.
Freshmen Jack Hervela and
Zak Goddard still do not realize
how good they are and I think
they can take another 45 seconds
or so to get down into the 17s
where we need them, he said.
Collin Monusko is still a bit off
from where he was last season and
we need him to step up to being
within 45 seconds or so from Josh
and Sterling.
Runners 6-7-8-9-10 for the boys
continue to trade off on a week-by-
week basis it seems, with a new
varsity running popping in every
meet. This sort of competition for
varsity spots keeps everyone on
their toes and constantly working
to be the best they can be.
IN THE girls race, it was sopho-
mores Courtney Busch (21:15,
22nd) and Katelyn Smith (21:26,
25th) coming in behind Alexis and
earning top-25 spots, followed
closely by hard-pushing junior
Grace Porta (21:43, 30th) and sen-
ior Lauren Pallas (22:09, 37th).
Feisty freshman Adrienne Ed-
wards (22:44, 41st) and Savannah
Krone (23:03, 46th) came in sixth
and seventh.
All five varsity scorers for the
Blue Devil gals posted a season-
best time on Saturday.
Alexis moved to a whole new
level of speed in Saturdays race,
stepping up with a solid season
best and only just 45 seconds or so
from the top three finishers,
Kalember reported. She can be
one of the top 10 regional runners
in a few weeks at our regional
race.
Kalember also liked the way the
2-3-4 runners have developed into
a solid pack, with Busch, Katelyn
Smith and Porta all finishing
within 30 seconds of each other.
Grace Porta had an especially
nice race, nearly running a career-
best time in less than ideal condi-
tions, Kalember said. In the
next race were going to try to get
these three to form a pack and
work together. Our big stumbling
block to rising to the next level
now is the fifth girl on any day it
could be any one of the next 4-5
girls on the team.
Kalember said it is essential for
a No. 5 runner to step up and
make the break to the 2-3-4 pack
for Gaylord to make a run at one
of the top three spots in the re-
gional meet on Oct. 26 to qualify
for the state finals as a team.
Today our fifth runner was
Lauren Pallas and she did run a
season-best time so I am very
happy about that, he said. But
Carlie Martella, Adrienne Ed-
wards, and Savannah Krone are
all within striking distance of
making an impact on our top
five.
Freshman Carlie Martella
earned an eighth-place time of
22:47 in the JV meet at Saginaw.
The Blue Devils compete again
Tuesday, Oct. 15, for the Big North
Conference championships at the
Gaylord Country Club.
Boys take ffth, girls sixth in annual Heritage Invite; McPherson, Green for boys and Alexis Smith for girls earn top-10 times

CHEBOYGAN Without
a league championship to
aim for, a playoff berth has
been the top goal for the
Cheboygan High School
football team in the 2013
season.
That accomplishment
could be realized as soon as
Friday, when the Chiefs
play at Sault Ste. Marie.
Thats our No. 1 goal,
Cheboygan coach Jack
Coon said. This is the
game, as far as our seasons
concerned. Because of
your success, this is the
biggest game of the season
right now, right in front of
us. This is where we can
make the year.
The Chiefs, 28-6 winners
over Alpena a week ago,
are 5-1 and riding a four-
game win streak, their
longest since 2008. Stand-
ing in their way is a 3-3
Sault team that needs a
win to keep alive its own
playoff hopes.
Despite a recent run of
success against the Blue
Devils Cheboygan has
won the last 12 meetings
between the schools Coon
is keenly aware the Sault
can pose a legitimate
threat, particularly when
the Blue Devils are playing
on their home field.
The Blue Devils three
losses have come to
Petoskey, Marquette and
St. Ignace, teams that are a
combined 13-5. And the
Sault wasnt blown out by
any of the three. They lost
to Marquette by three
points, and to St. Ignace by
eight, two teams who, at 5-
1, are near locks for playoff
berths while Petoskey re-
mains very much in the
post-season hunt at 3-3.
Cheboygan, which re-
turned to the playoffs last
season after a two-year ab-
sence, appears to be on the
resurgent track that began
with last seasons 6-4 fin-
ish.
The lone blemish on the
Chiefs 2013 slate is a 35-3
loss at Marquette in the
second week of the season,
a result that ever increas-
ingly appears to be an aber-
ration.
After the second week
stumble I think that were
very pleasantly pleased
with the way we responded
and put the nose the grind-
stone and knocked out one
win after another and its
put us in position to obtain
that goal that we all strive
for at the beginning of the
year, Coon said. Nobody
panicked. Were not there
yet, but were still press-
ing.
Which is perhaps why, no
matter the opponent, the
Chiefs continue to be suc-
cessful, both in the short
term and long.
Case in point: Last
weeks win over Alpena,
which, after winning its
season opener over Escan-
aba, is now 1-5 after five
straight losses.
Cheboygan didnt take
the Wildcats lightly, and it
showed on a rainy home-
coming night at Western
Avenue Field. The Chiefs
built a 21-0 lead early in
the third quarter and held
in check Alpena quarter-
back Tyler Pintar.
Pintar threw for 138
yards on eight-of-29 pass-
ing, but the Chiefs limited
Alpena to just 79 yards on
the ground. Pintar was in-
tercepted twice, once by
Ben Pearson, the other by
Nathan Stempky who re-
turned it 45 yards for a
touchdown.
The Wildcats spoiled the
shutout with a TD pass on
the final play of the game.
They (completed) a
couple long passes that we
were able to overcome,
Coon said. It was Dont
panic; just settle in and
just play.
Our defense played re-
ally well. The Pintar kid,
hes very agile and very
mobile. You have to keep
him contained. I thought
our defensive front four,
with multiple substitutions
and sometimes playing a
little out of position, did a
good job of keeping him
penned in. And the rest of
the defense did a good job
of rallying to the ball to
keep contain.
Cheboygan quarterback
Luke Harrington com-
pleted nine of his 13 pass
attempts for 130 yards. He
threw two first-half TD
passes to Stempky, one cov-
ering 11 yards, the other 13.
Stempky finished with
three catches for 41 yards,
while Chris Demeuse had
two receptions for 30.
Ben Pearson led Cheboy-
gans rushing attack with
90 yards including a 59-
yard TD scamper on the
Chiefs first play of the
third quarter. Fullback Nik
Bevier added 79 yards on 17
attempts.
Cheboygan fumbled the
ball away three times,
twice inside the Wildcat 5-
yard line.
Weve got to be more
conscious of ball security,
Coon said. We like the
idea that (when) were in-
side the 5, we want to score.
We dont want to settle for
field goals, even though we
have a very capable kicker.
We still have things to
work on like everybody
else this time of year.
Despite the fumbles,
Coon said he was very
pleased with the way the
Chiefs took care of the ball
in their pistol offense, par-
ticularly in light of the fact
that the game was played
in the rain.
We did exceptionally
well handling our pistol of-
fense in the inclement
weather, he said.
Linebacker Trent Jar-
man led the Chief defense
with nine tackles, while
Stempky added seven, and
Jameson Knolton had six,
including a sack.
Coon said he was partic-
ularly pleased with the
play of Demeuse, who drew
his first start at safety in
place of Harrington, who
is nursing an ankly injury.
Chris did really good
job, not only in the second-
ary, but with really good
run support, Coon said.
They were spreading it
side to side and he had to
cover a lot of ground. He
made some good hits in
crucial situations. I
thought defensively he had
a real solid game.
Hes really good at com-
municating. He has good
eyes and reads run and
pass very well.

GAYLORD It
was wet, windy
and wild at the
field of the Gay-
lord St. Mary
Snowbirds on
Friday night.
Perfect Hurri-
cane weather.
Senior QB Nick Harrington,
the Human Hurricane, swept
over, around and through the de-
termined-but-outmatched de-
fense of the visiting Ubly
Bearcats en route to another
monster game on the soggy turf,
amassing 242 yards rushing on 24
carries with four TDs as the
Snowbirds celebrated homecom-
ing with their most impressive
victory to date.
The 41-20 triumph in the rain
pushes St. Marys record to 3-3
and keeps playoff hopes alive.
The Snowbirds face a very stiff
test this Friday, Oct. 11, however,
when they travel to Mancelona
(4-2, 3-0) to engage a rugged Iron-
men team that has won four
straight and carries a 24-game
league winning streak into the
contest dating back to 2009.
The Snowbirds best chance of
pulling the upset over Mancelona
is to play the way they did
against Ubly. For the first time in
six games, the Snowbirds did not
have a single turnover. They also
had the Snow Pistol offense fully
loaded and percolating in all
phases as they moved the ball
around the edges, pounded the
ball between the tackles behind
the Jumbo Package, and earned
key first downs through the air.
There were a lot of things that
brought a smile to the intense,
bespectacled features of first-
year head coach Kevin OCon-
nell, but what lighted his
countenance the most was the
way the Snowbirds won the
game. They had zero turnovers
on offense and they were physi-
cally tough and aggressive on de-
fense.
We took care of the ball offen-
sively and we were more physi-
cal and more disciplined on
defense, OConnell reported.
Thats a pretty good night of
football for us and it was espe-
cially nice to have that kind of
game for homecoming, even
though we played in the rain.
OConnell was particularly
pleased with the blocking of the
O-line as it created gaps and
seams for the elusive Harrington
to maneuver through and for
backfield bashers Anders Mar-
quard and Cam Gibby Juneac
to pound and power their way
through with junior bruise-
maker Orion Beningo helping to
lead the way.
The blue-collar crew of Geoff
Wind, Cole Loffer, Brendan Now-
icki, Willy Canfield and Kyle
Double Krush Koski did the
job once again in the trenches.
The fruit of their labors showed
up where it counted the most, in
digital majesty on the score-
board.
St. Mary opened the scoring in
the second quarter with its
longest sustained drive of the
season, a six-minute, yard-
munching, chain-moving thing
of protracted beauty to OCon-
nell and his staff. The Snowbirds
moved 80 yards in 16 plays with
Harrington capping it off with a
9-yard burst on a keeper. Jack
Lochinski, reliable as the sun-
rise, booted the first of five PATs
in the game for a 7-0 lead.
On the ensuing possession, it
was Beningo busting in and put-
ting the boom on the Ubly signal
caller to force a fumble that he
also recovered. Beningos bruis-
ing takeaway led to the second
St. Mary score as Marquard
plunged over for a 13-0 advan-
tage.
Ubly responded with its lone
score of the first half to trim the
lead to 13-8 but the Snowbirds an-
swered back with a late score
when Hurricane Harrington
swept around end and outraced
everyone to complete a 65-yard
touchdown. Lochinskis boot
gave the Snowbirds a 20-8 lead at
the intermission.
Harrington scored on back-to-
back runs of 37 and 38 yards just
30 seconds apart in the second
quarter, cutting back against the
grain each time to leave Bearcat
defenders sprawled in his wake.
A fumble recovery by the ever-
vigilant Marquard on a Bearcat
kick return enabled Harrington
to strike twice in rapid succes-
sion.
In the final quarter, the Snow-
birds iced the game when
Boom-Boom Beningo, who had
been forging a path for Marquard
as part of the Jumbo Package,
got to carry the ball and didnt
stop until he reached the end
zone for a milestone 7-yard score.
It was the last touchdown of the
game for St. Mary and the first in
Beningos varsity career.
Marquard finished another
productive night with 68 yards in
15 tries and Juneac jammed and
jacked his way to 40 yards in
nine carries. Orion finished with
10 yards in two bursts with the
TD on his stat line.
Harrington has scored a whop-
ping 21 rushing TDs this season
and is rapidly approaching the
school record of 29 TDs that
trailblazer Troy Blasius scored
in 2003 when the Snowbirds went
13-1 and reached the state finals.
In Fridays game he also
passed for 37 yards and had an
interception on defense.
OConnell liked what he called
the alignment assignment atti-
tude of his defense against the
Bearcats and he noted the tough,
hard-hitting play of linebackers
Loffer and Koski, who covered
the field like syrup on pancakes.
Beningo took part in 10 tackles
with his sack and fumble recov-
ery. Canfield took down ball car-
riers nine times from his tackle
post and Juneac recorded nine
stops with a sack.
OConnell likes the direction
his team is heading at this point
of the season.
Weve had our hiccups and
hurdles but were getting better
as season goes, he said. Were
getting more confident and more
excited.
One of OConnells big con-
cerns this Friday at Mancelona
is the size differential between
the two teams.
Theyre bigger than we are
and theyre gonna pound it at
us, OConnell said. We have to
control the line with our tech-
nique because we arent going to
do it with size. Well change up
our fronts the way we did against
Ubly and hopefully find ways to
keep them from lining up and
teeing off on us. We cant afford
to give them 12-play, eight-minute
drives all game long.
When St. Mary has the ball,
OConnell expects Mancelona to
try and take the perimeter away
from Harrington.
If that happens have to move
the ball in other ways, he said.
Were gonna look for mis-
matches and try to put our ath-
letes out in space.

JOHANNESBURG This
was a big one for Johannes-
burg-Lewiston. Going into
Fridays homecoming game
with rugged U.P. rival Rud-
yard, the Cardinals of
coach Joe Smokevitch
knew what was riding on
the outcome: they would ei-
ther be 4-2 and in good
shape to reach the playoffs
again or they would be 3-3
and having to win out to
make the postseason.
J-L responded with its
most complete four-quarter
performance of the season
so far, controlling play at
the line once again and
stampeding to a 36-14 vic-
tory over the visiting Bull-
dogs.
The Cardinals (4-2, 2-1)
return to Ski Valley South
play this Friday, Oct. 11,
when they host Onaway (2-
4, 1-2), which is coming off
a 25-0 shutout of Pellston
and has won two of its last
three games.
Smokevitch is pleased
with the level of play he is
seeing in his troops two-
thirds of the way through
the regular season.
We started off slow but
our kids are playing really
well right now, Smoke-
vitch said.
In the win over Rudyard,
the Cardinals controlled
the clock in the usual way,
doing the Smokevitch
Tango down the field with
their yard-gobbling, pad-
popping, ground-pounding
assault. The Cardinals
scored on their first three
possessions.
What Smokevitch was
also very happy about was
the way the swarming de-
fense of the Cardinals con-
trolled the play much of the
time.
We held them to just 20
plays and 30 or 40 yards of
offense in the first half, he
said. We kicked off to
them and stuffed them and
then we turned around and
scored right away. Thats
very demoralizing to
teams. The first three times
we had the ball, we
marched down and scored.
We took control of things
early and they faced an up-
hill battle after that.
It was the usual suspects
leading the way for the Car-
dinals on both sides of the
ball.
Andrew Gross, who re-
placed sidelined starter
Nick May at the fullback
spot for the second straight
game, turned in another
stomp city performance,
busting and bashing his
way to a team-high 140
yards on 12 carries with a
pair of conversion runs.
Strong-striding, hard-
smashing senior halfback
Dillon Cushman also
helped carry the load,
amassing 91 yards on 12
tries with two TD bursts of
12 yards, and elusive Ethan
May, the other half of the
Cards explosive May Day
Attack, generated 70 yards
on eight attempts with TD
runs of 34 and 6 yards.
We got Ethan the ball
early and he went outside
and took it to the house on
the first offensive play,
Smokevitch said. Cush-
man ran really hard and so
did Gross. Hes a real
strong runner. The way we
moved the ball on the
ground we didnt have to
throw the ball in the wet
conditions.
QB Brandon Huff, the en-
gineer of the grinding
ground assault, also tallied
on a short run and fired a
conversion pass to glue-fin-
gered tight end Cam Nick-
ert.
On the other side of the
ball, Smokevitch again
commended the dominat-
ing play of defensive ends
Dan Nieman and Brad
Kussrow along with the
hard-nosed efforts of blue-
collar battler Nathan Fox at
nose guard and he also
noted the hammering hits
of strong safety Coalton
Huff.
Nieman and Kussrow
are the two best defensive
ends in the league, Smoke-
vitch said. You cant run
outside them. Theyre
tough kids.
Coalton Huff, who moves
up and fills gaps like a
freight car, took part in 12
tackles with an intercep-
tion. Streamin Nieman
struck for eight takedowns
and he and Kussrow each
had a sack. Kalin Leonard
added crash to the attack,
making nine tackles.
Onaway is coming to
town this Friday with some
momentum after winning
two of their last three
games.
They have great skill
kids that we have to keep
an eye on, Smokevitch
said. We want to make
them earn their points and
not score on big plays. One
of the biggest things for us
defensively is to track down
(Matt) Tollini when hes
scrambling out of the
pocket. Hes a playmaker
for them. Bautistas tough
as a runner and receiver
and we have to know where
he is on every snap.
When J-L has the ball,
Smokevitch said they will
run from different forma-
tions, including a one-back
set and the traditional full
house. The Cardinals will
also spread it out from time
to time.
The nice part about our
offense is were able to do a
variety of things from dif-
ferent formations, he said.
Onaway will throw differ-
ent defensive fronts at us
and we have to recognize
that and adjust.
Cards stampede to 4-2 mark
Gross, Cushman and May pave the way as J-L amasses 347 rushing yards in key win over U.P. foe

step closer to
playos
Bulldogs blast away in
high-scoring win over
CL; Bautista shines for
Onaway; Mancy
outscores Pickford in
JV play
INDIAN RIVER Inland Lakes
stands two wins away from
clinching its first playoff berth
since 2009.
If the Bulldogs continue to per-
form the way they did in the im-
pressive 56-30 triumph over
Central Lake, they can pack their
bags for the post-season.
Inland Lakes rolled up 509
yards rushing last week in cap-
turing its second straight victory
to improve to 4-2. The 56 points
was the most a Bulldog team has
scored since they put up 58 in the
2004 season opener against Fife
Lake Forest Area.
Everything was clicking, In-
land Lakes coach Stan Schramm
said. The boys were running
hard and our offensive line did a
great job. I thought our tight ends
(Spencer Hutchison and Ryan
Howery) blocked the best theyve
blocked all year long.
Its one thing blocking at the
point of attack, but it takes desire
to get out to level blocks and stay
on them. They blocked really
well.
The Bulldogs go to Pellston for
a Ski Valley Conference North Di-
vision game on Friday, Oct. 11,
then play host to Mesick in a non-
leaguer the following week. Both
Pellston and Mesick are winless.
We feel really good, said
Schramm, whose team would
clinch a playoff spot with victo-
ries in its next two games. In
practice and game planning for
Central Lake, the kids understood
what was at stake. That 4-2 puts
us in a really good position to
make the playoffs.
We definitely wanted Central
Lake. After the game, I said
Enjoy this, but come Monday, the
next roadblock is in Pellston. And
weve got to go through them.
I believe the kids will be ready
to play. Theyre excited about the
win we had, but now its behind
us and they understand that Pell-
ston will come out and play hard
football. Its their homecoming
and theyll hit us. Weve got to be
ready to play.
Clearly, the Bulldogs were
ready to play against Central
Lake, 2-4. Michael Flowers rushed
for 194 yards on 12 carries, Trevor
Mallory had 164 yards on 19 at-
tempts, and quarterback Todd
Athey added 101 yards on 12
rushes.
Both Flowers and Mallory
scored three touchdowns apiece,
and Athey tossed a 12-yard TD
pass to Spencer Hutchison. One of
Flowers scores came on a 72-yard
kickoff return.
Christian Wallace added 58
yards rushing on eight attempts.
Inland Lakes forced three
turnovers, while committing just
one.
That was a big key, Schramm
said. We won the turnover battle
in that wet weather that we
played in. Our center-quarter-
back exchange between Chase
Bunker and Todd Athey, they re-
ally took care of the ball well. We
only had one fumbled snap.
Schramm added that Inland
Lakes got solid contributions
from a pair of sophomores, tackle
Doug Langone and defensive end
Mark Hayner, who were brought
up from the junior varsity team
to fill gaps created by injuries.
They played as well as we had
hoped, he said.
C.J. Ogden led Inland Lakes de-
fense with 11 tackles, while Athey
and Flowers made 10 stops apiece.
Flowers recorded a sack, while
Athey made an interception.

ONAWAY Senior Carlos
Bautista drew his first career
start at quarterback and threw
for 141 yards and two touchdowns
Friday as the Cardinals won for
the second time in three starts,
improving to 2-4.
Bautista, who was subbing for
starter Matt Tollini, completed
eight of his 16 pass attempts and
connected with Chris Cleaver and
Joe OBradovich on TD passes.
Bautista also ran for a TD.
He stepped up to the plate for
the team, Onaway coach Jim
Cleaver said of Bautista. He was
really calm about it, really re-
laxed. He threw the ball really
well. Especially on Friday night,
it was raining for half the game. I
was really happy with him.
Cleaver finished with three re-
ceptions for 71 yards, while
OBradovich had 38 yards on two
catches. Jamal Porter led On-
aways ground game with 52
yards on six carries. He scored on
a 43-yard run.
DJ Fenstermaker led Onaways
defense with 12 tackles, while
Cleaver and Frank Ramos made
nine stops apiece, Tommy Auger
had eight, Noah Bacon added
seven, Ray Self had six, and Cody
Morell finished with five.
Morell made two sacks, while
Fenstermaker, Cleaver and
Ramos added one apiece. Fenster-
maker also blocked a punt, and
Bautista recovered a fumble.
Onaway goes to Johannesburg-
Lewiston for a Ski Valley Confer-
ence South Division matchup on
Friday, Oct. 11. J-L, which de-
feated Rudyard, 36-14, last week
for its third consecutive victory, is
4-2 overall, 2-1 in the division. On-
away is 1-2 in the division.
Were going to have our hands
full again, coach Cleaver said.
The boys have got to just come to
play, like they have in the two
games weve won. Weve got to
unite as a team. Theyve seen
what they can do when they do
that.
JV: mancelona 44, Pickford 6
MANCELONA The young
Mancelona Ironmen of coach
Doug Derrer bounced back in a
big way from the tough 8-0 defeat
the week before in the fresh-
men game at Onekama, pound-
ing, pushing and powering their
way to a decisive 44-6 victory at
home over non-league foe Pick-
ford.
The Ironmen built a 24-0 lead in
the first quarter and never looked
back.
The visiting Panthers devel-
oped a bad case of Ty-Fu Fever
early in the game as slamming,
slashing sophomore Tyler Fults
broke free for a 70-yard sprint to
the end zone at the 3:09 mark of
the first quarter to help break
things open. The flying feet of
Fults also accounted for a pair of
conversion runs in the first quar-
ter and a 5-yard tally in the third
quarter.
The Panthers were also treated
to the Sonic Surges of C.J. Short
and the Deuce Moves of Chris
Neon Nielson as the Iron Trio
in the Mancy backfield played the
song of victory once again.
Short showed up big in the first
quarter, storming to a 14-yard
burst to paydirt. Neon Nielson
lit up the scoreboard with a leap-
ing catch of a conversion toss
from QB Dylan Derrer and an
electrifying 65-yard kickoff re-
turn in the fourth quarter.
Dylan added to the showers out
of the skies with some showers of
his own through the skyways on
this rainy night, hooking up with
Logan Short for a sudden 59-yard
TD strike. Lucas Winstead
whacked and whammed his way
to a 6-yard score and Brendan
Morris busted his way across the
goal-line for a two-point conver-
sion.
All in all, it was a very solid
performance for Mancelona.
Fults finished another produc-
tive night with a team-high 86
yards on just five attempts.
On the defensive side, Nick
Biehl was the real deal from his
linebacker post, making five
stops. C.J. Short added some
sonic sock to the assault as he
recorded five tackles and Shane
Young put the SLAM in slam-
down five times.

GAYLORD The Gaylord vol-
leyball team of coach Trista
Sitz turned in a strong per-
formance on the home floor
Monday, outscoring tough Big
North rival Petoskey in three
games, 25-19, 25-19, 25-23. The
victory enabled Gaylord to
sweep the two league games
with the Northmen this season.
It was nice to get the second
win against Petoskey, coach
Sitz reported. Both teams
have improved and anything
can happen at this point in the
season. I moved our lineup
around and changed some
things so I was happy to see
how the girls reacted to that
and how well they played.
Sitz commended Petoskey for
its defensive play.
They did a lot of balls and
can catch you off guard but we
were still able to put the ball
down and control the tempo
most of the game, she said.
The multi-dimensional
Dakota Pelach put together an-
other impressive performance
for the Blue Devils. Dakota de-
livered a dozen kills at the net
and a dozen digs and she also
helped to fuel the fire up front
as a setter, earning 10 assists.
Lindsey Zaremba added
some Zap to the attack as well,
recording seven kills, and Mad-
die Hamilla and Brooke Stier
each made four kills. Stier also
turned in 12 digs. Hard-slam-
ming Sydney Kassuba smacked
three kills to go with a team-
high 13 digs.
Brandi Wagner served up
sweet deliveries like a florist,
recording 11 assists, and she
also had a pair of aces. Casey
Korte and Cassie Kolka were
100 percent in their serves.
For Petoskey, Jayme Larson
and Trista Boyd each launched
four kills and Kati Lewis put
the hammer down three times.
Boyd set the table like a Food
Network chef, acquiring 22 as-
sists.
Larson and Kira Jarvi cov-
ered the floor like carpeting,
earning 15 digs apiece, and
Tori Visconti also did a good
job of keeping volleys alive,
notching 14 digs. Natalie
Weaver whacked three kills
and recorded six digs.

ONAWAY There was some
high-powered volleyball taking
place on Tuesday, Oct. 1, at the
court of Onaway when the
sixth-ranked Cardinals of
Coach Steve Watson took on
perennial Ski Valley power
Pellston. It was the Cardinals
who finally prevailed in a
fierce, hard-hitting battle be-
tween two of the top teams in
the region, winning in four
games by scores of 25-15, 25-16,
26-28 and 25-17.
We played really solidly, re-
ally well, Watson said after
his team improved to 31-5-3
overall and stayed unbeaten in
league play. In the third set we
made some mistakes, but they
played us really well.
Strong-slamming Onaway
senior outside hitter Mariah
Ehrke added some meteorolog-
ical muscle at the nets for the
visiting Hornets as she rained
down thunder on the opposing
side. Mariahs showers of
smashing hits accounted for a
whopping 22 kills against the
talented Hornets, establishing
a new school record.
Mariah assaulted the net
with the relentlessness of the
waves crashing the shoreline
at high tide. Before it was over,
she tied teammate Devin Brist-
leys record for attacks in a
match with 60. Mariah also
had 22 digs and three blocks in
the hard-fought match.
Bristley also brought some
booming thunder to the as-
sault, recording 11 kills to help
the Onaway cause and she also
accumulated 21 digs. Junior
Lexi Szymoniak was lights
out, too, launching 13 kills
with 20 digs and five blocks.
Sara Fullerton slapped three
kills with 13 digs.
Setter Taylor Ehrke was ter-
rific in supplying the artillery
for the attacks, notching 37 as-
sists, and she also amassed 13
digs.
Pellston battled hard in de-
feat but couldnt quite match
Onaways firepower up front.
Onaway has another
strong, consistent them this
year, said Hornet coach
Brooke Groff. We struggled
with passing in the sets that
we lost. In the third set, we
served well and passed better,
giving our hitters the opportu-
nity for better swings.
Mackenzie Wright brought
the steam and sizzle to the
front thats she brought all sea-
son long. Mackenzie was like a
radio D.J.; she just kept the
hits coming, banging out a
team-high 17 kills on the night
to go with a team-high 21 digs.
Middle hitter Shaylee Smith
stood tall, smacking out eight
kills and making six blocks,
and Abbie Welch whacked
eight kills with 15 digs and a
pair of aces.
Hanah Carter created hit-
ting chances with her sweet
serves, notching 30 assists, and
she was a force in the back row
also, making 14 digs.
Kelly Lewis and Breah
Carter covered the floor like
syrup on pancakes, combining
for 34 digs between them. Sam-
mie Stark struck for two kills
with three blocks.
ST. IGNACE The Pellston
JV volleyball team of coach
Heidi Burkhart made the trip
north of the bridge to partici-
pate in a JV tournament at St.
Ignace on Saturday. The trip
was a fruitful one for
Burkharts Bombers as they
brought home the runner-up
trophy and improved their
record to 19-6-4.
In pool play, the young Hor-
nets split with Charlevoix and
the Sault and defeated
Cedarville and host St. Ignace.
After going 2-0-2 in pool play,
the hungry Hornets swept En-
gadine 21-18, 21-11 in the semi-
finals before losing a tough
one in three games to Harbor
Springs in the finals, 21-12, 17-
21, 15-12.
Elyssa Prell was just swell
at the service stripe once
again, pouring out 16 points
with six aces and 92 percent
efficiency. Kaylee Krussell put
some K-2 Sizzle on her deliver-
ies, notching 19 points with
three aces, and Alex Brisson
absolutely blistered the ball
from the stripe, launching a
whopping 11 aces while accu-
mulating 33 points.
Brisson, Krussell and Prell
were also the top passers on
the night along with Hailey
Keber. Krussell added some se-
rious Krash to the Hornet
attack as the setter, serving up
more sweet deliveries than a
florist as she acquired 50 as-
sists.
It was Krunch Time for
Stephanie Kruskie once again
as she smashed 20 kills, and
fellow slammer Susie Brilley
showed up big also. Brilley
had more hits than Milly
Vanilly as she also acquired 20
kills. Prell cleaned up at the
net also, notching 12 kills, and
Keber had a cookie of a night,
cracking 12 kills.

ROGERS CITY The Mio
Thunderbolts continued to roll,
racking up the football teams
fifth consecutive victory by
crushing host Rogers City, 31-6,
on Friday, Oct. 4.
Mio lost its season-opener, 66-
12, to Whittemore-Prescott. But,
since then, the Thunderbolts (5-1
overall, 2-0 conference) have con-
tinued to add to the win column
and only the win column.
The Bolts dominated last Fri-
day nights game on both sides of
the ball, especially in the first
half. Mio pulled in front, 25-0, at
halftime. Both teams tallied 6
points in the third quarter.
Senior Bryson Devers led the
charge for Mio, rushing for a
team-high 116 yards and 3 touch-
downs on just 17 carries. He also
caught 3 passes for 21 yards. And,
on defense, the senior tallied 10
tackles, including 7 solo hits, as
well as an interception and 2
passes defended.
Mio actually had more rushing
yards (196), than passing yards
(156) in the road victory. The
Thunderbolts grinded away at
the Rogers City (3-3 overall, 1-1
conference) defense with 41 car-
ries.
That included runs by quarter-
back Brad Rhoads (15 carries, 43
yards), Scott Blamer (3 carries,
15 yards), Zac Price (2 carries, 0
yards), Chaun Obermiller (1
carry, 10 yards), Cody Wilson (1
carry, 8 yards), Brian Watson (1
carry, 2 yards) and Ryan Ellul (1
carry, 2 yards).
Rhoads, who converted 1-of-3
PATs on the night, was efficient
in throwing the ball, connecting
on 65 percent (13-of-20) of his
throws for 156 yards, 2 TDs and 1
interception.
Senior Seth Thomey led the
Bolts with a team-high 5 catches
for 76 yards and 2 TDs, while
classmate Colton McGregor had
4 receptions for 46 yards. And,
senior Cody Wilson had 1 catch
for 13 yards.
Mios defensive effort was led
by Obermiller, who tallied 13
tackles, 7 of which were solo hits.
Thomey had an interception to
go with his 9 tackles (8 solo).
Wilson and Ellul had 6 and 5
tackles, respectively, as well as 1
sack each. Wilson also had one of
three fumble recoveries by Bolt
defenders, with Devers and Wat-
son also covering the ball for
Mio.
The Thunderbolts are next set
to host Au Gres-Sims (1-5 overall,
1-3 conference) on Friday, Oct. 11.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Boos Boys move another step
closer to playos with convincing
win at feld of U.P. rival
by mike Dunn
PICKFORD The bruising
blue-collar Mancelona Ironmen
of coach Dan Boo Derrer took
another big stride toward a play-
off berth on Friday at Pickford,
but it was the way the Ironmen
played on both sides of the ball
that Derrer was really happy
about.
We played really well defen-
sively and we eliminated a lot of
the mental mistakes and penal-
ties on offense that have been
hurting us, Boo said after his
team improved to 4-2 with a thor-
oughly impressive 42-6 triumph
over the host Panthers. We
moved the ball on them and
scored some points and the only
touchdown they scored against
us was on a fumble return.
Mancelona (4-2, 3-0) plays host
to Gaylord St. Mary (3-3, 1-2) this
Friday, Oct. 11. The Snowbirds of
coach Kevin OConnell are flying
high after an impressive non-
league homecoming victory over
the Ubly Bearcats. See more de-
tails about the upcoming game at
the end of this article.
In the victory at Pickford, the
Iron Curtain defense of the Iron-
men played with suffocating ef-
fectiveness from the start with
unrelenting pressure, limiting
the potent Panthers to a meager
47 yards rushing in the game and
just 66 yards passing. Mancelona
also forced two turnovers and
turned both into quick-strike
scores.
It was a game where
Mancelonas muscle was on dis-
play on both sides of the ball.
Early in the game, it was high-
stepping, strong-striding senior
halfback Justin Spires accepting
a handoff from senior signal
caller Jake Winstead on a basic
blast play off-tackle and busting
through the front line of defend-
ers like he was launched from a
high-powered water hose. The
next thing anybody knew, Spires
was sprinting toward the end
zone to complete an electrifying
73-yard touchdown.
That came less than four min-
utes into the game and gave the
visiting Ironmen a sudden 6-0 ad-
vantage.
The Ironmen added to their
lead later in the quarter when
fire-spitting fullback Logan Borst
lowered the boom and burned his
way to a 16-yard tally on a
patented inside trap. Chase
Wilcox rolled to his right and
found Cole VanWagoner for two
points to make it 14-0.
On the ensuing kickoff, it was
hard-driving senior Luke Smash
Mouth Smigielski chasing down
a Panther kick returner and
stripping the ball loose and then
falling on it for a fumble recovery
deep in Panther territory. Two
plays later, Winstead faked into
the line and found the glue-fin-
gered Smigielski breaking free
over the middle for a highlight-
reel 19-yard TD strike. Borst bat-
tled his way across the goal-line
for two points and a 22-0 lead on
the scoreboard.
Pickford then scored its lone
TD with an aggressive play from
its secondary. The Panthers
stripped the ball and then
scooped up the fumble and re-
turned it 60 yards to trim the
Mancelona lead to 22-6 at the 9:04
mark of the second quarter.
The Ironmen pulled away, how-
ever, scoring two more times be-
fore the first half ended. Spires
sped around end for a 5-yard
score with 2:57 left in the second
quarter and then the hard-nosed
Smigielski set up another score
just before intermission with his
second fumble recovery of the
contest, enabling hardworking
halfback Eric Wheeler to wind
his way to the end zone for a 2-
yard tally with just 21 seconds
showing on the clock. That
pushed the Mancy lead to 34-6.
In the third quarter, the Iron-
men scored their final touchdown
when the jitterbugging Wilcox
struck on a 1-yard push to pay-
dirt. Wilcox then weaved his way
around end on a keeper to score
two and get the running clock
started.
Spires stomped and sprinted
his way to a team-high 122 yards
on 11 carries in the game. The
cobra-quick Wilcox juked, jived
and juiced his way to 92 yards of
real estate and the bash-and-
smash bursts from Borst ac-
counted for another 77 yards.
Derrer again commended the
Dark Wall of Defiance up front:
center Tristen Fleet, guards Gar-
rett Derrer and Nick Balhorn,
tackles Tristan Waters and Bran-
don Willson and tight ends Cody
Derrer and Smash Mouth
Smigielski.
Defensively, Smigielski was all
over the place like frost on a No-
vember morning from his inside
linebacker post. He added his
usual smash to the assault, mak-
ing step stops with two fumble re-
coveries. Balhorn brought down
Panther ball carriers seven
times.
Boo also lauded the aggressive,
relentless play of freshman
Tristin Richardson and Wheeler
at ends. He was also pleased with
the ball hawking and gap filling
efforts of secondary members
Cole VanWagoner, Nick Bevins
and Jacob Allen.
This weeks game with St.
Mary is a big one for both sides.
Not only is it homecoming for
Mancelona but a win also
clinches at least a tie for the Ski
Valley South championship, ex-
tends the Ironmen league win-
ning streak to 24 games, and
keeps hopes alive of hosting a
playoff game. A win for St. Mary
keeps the Snowbirds in the hunt
for a playoff spot, provides a
huge boost of confidence going
into next weeks homecoming
game against perennial rival Jo-
hannesburg-Lewiston and snaps
a three-year losing streak to the
Ironmen.
The Iron Curtain defense of
the Ironmen will be sorely tested
by St. Marys explosive QB Nick
Harrington, who scored four
times in the big win over Ubly
and has a remarkable 21 rushing
TDs on his stat line so far this
season. He has also thrown for 11
touchdowns in addition to two in-
terception returns for touch-
downs.
Harrington is dangerous on
every snap; hes shifty and he can
make those quick, explosive runs
from anywhere on the field, Der-
rer said. He can throw it, too
and thats something else we have
go guard against. Facing him is a
lot like facing the quarterback
from Whittemore in the playoffs.
St. Mary has shown the ability
to put points on the board. The
Snowbird offense has been a
highlight reel of scoring plays so
far. Derrer said it is imperative
for the Ironmen to play disci-
plined on defense and not over
pursue.
If were not disciplined we
can give up big plays, he said.
We need to know our assign-
ments, trust each other and play
great team defense. If were
overly aggressive we can get
burned. And we cant just focus
on containing Harrington be-
cause they have good skill kids
across the board.
When Mancelona has the ball,
Derrer said his team must win
the battles up front.
Theyll load the box on us and
try to stop our running game,
Derrer said. We need the line to
keep their blocking rules, get on
their guys and stay on them.
Derrer said the Snowbirds have
improved each week and com-
mended OConnell and his staff
for the work theyve done in turn-
ing the program around.
We knew after last they were
young and getting better, Derrer
said. Coach OConnells done a
good job. Theyve gotten better
and better and theyre playing
with a lot of confidence right
now.
This is our homecoming and
we cant afford any distractions,
he added. We need to keep our
focus on the game. This is a big
week for us.

GRAYLING The Grayling
Vikings made it clear which was
the better team in its varsity
gridiron clash with Lake Michi-
gan Conference rival Elk Rapids
on Friday, Oct. 4, as the host
Vikings pummeled the Elks, 48-
28.
And, even then, the final score
didnt show how lopsided the
game was, as Grayling (5-1 over-
all) put up 21 and 20 points in the
first and second quarters, respec-
tively, while building a 41-7 half-
time lead over Elk Rapids (4-2
overall, 2-1 conference).
I was proud of our guys and
how they came out ready to play,
said Grayling head coach Tim
Sanchez. They executed our de-
fensive game and we were crisp
on offense.
Weve had a lot of adversity to
overcome lately and our guys re-
sponded well.
Jake Swander again provided
the home fans with plenty of aer-
ial highlights. The Vikings senior
quarterback completed nearly 60
percent of his throws (22-of-37)
for 345 yards in a performance
that included 4 touchdowns and 1
interception. He also carried the
ball twice for 7 yards.
Grayling, one of two LMC
teams with unblemished 3-0
marks in conference play, was so
far ahead that backup quarter-
back, junior Darin Nicholas, got
a chance to lead the offense, com-
pleting 1-of-2 passing attempts for
5 yards.
The Vikings did most of their
damage through the air, with sen-
ior receiver Tyler McClanahan
having a monster game with 11
catches for 146 years and 3 TDs.
Graylings next best receiving
performance was by senior Nick
Swiercz with 4 receptions for 61
yards, with one for going for 41
yards. And, junior Danny Schultz
hauled in two catches for 50
yards, including one for a score.
Vikings Raven Tacket (51 yards),
Brandon Latusek (26 yards) and
Kevin Harris (16 yards) all had 2
catches apiece in the win.
But, Grayling didnt ignore the
running game, tormenting the
Elks on the ground, as well.
Senior Michael Branch carried
the ball a team-high 17 times for
46 yards and 2 TDs. Harris, who
converted 6-of-7 PATs after
Viking TDs, added 40 yards on 7
carries and senior Justin Con-
forti tacked on another 12 yards
on 6 runs, as Grayling racked up
111 yards on the ground and 461
yards in total offense.
For all the sparking offensive
stats, Grayling also had a defen-
sive star. Defensive lineman
Justin Junttila hammered the
hapless Elks for 12 tackles and 2
sacks.
Grayling, which sits atop the
LMC standings with Boyne City
(5-1 overall, 3-0 conference), could
face a tougher test on Friday, Oct.
11, when the Vikings host the
Kalkaska Blue Blazers (5-1 over-
all, 3-1 conference) in another
LMC contest. Kickoff is set for 7
p.m.

GAYLORD Before the
turkey, before the football, be-
fore the parade ... do some-
thing for others.
And on Thanksgiving morn-
ing, do something good for
yourself, too, by participating
in the third annual Gaylord
Turkey Trot, a 5K and one-mile
run/walk at 9 a.m. Thursday,
Nov. 28, at the Gaylord Re-
gional Airport, 1100 Aero
Drive.
Race director Jeremy Speer
took on the role in 2011 as part
of a project for Leadership Ot-
sego County. This was created
as a race for charity its
competitive, but fun, Speer
said. We want to promote a
healthy lifestyle and get people
moving. Its a good opportu-
nity to give back while having
a good time.
This year, the race will benefit
Toys for Tots and Wings Over
Gaylord. The 2011 and 2012
races raised funds for the
Friendship Housing Center,
which closed in August.
Speer said since its incep-
tion, the event has gained mo-
mentum. A lot of families
have taken to it, he said.
Weve seen kids, people push-
ing strollers and people from
all over the nation.
Speer said the airport offers
a unique venue for runners.
The course starts on the tar-
mac and continues around the
perimeter road to the south
end of the airport. There are
16 age divisions and the win-
ner of each receives a Turkey
Trot trophy.
Airport director Matt Bar-
resi is hosting the event for the
third year and is looking for-
ward to joining forces with
Toys for Tots coordinator
Rosie Warner.
Barresi also coordinates
Wings Over Gaylord, the an-
nual air show held in June at
the airport.
Toys for Tots collects toys and
clothing each year with the
mission of bringing hope and
joy to every child at Christmas.
We cant do this alone,
Warner said. We welcome the
partnership. We are excited
about being involved in an
event that provides a new and
healthy experience for fami-
lies.
Registration for the Turkey
Trot is $30 per runner. Speer
said the fee includes a long-
sleeve T-shirt and the satis-
faction of knowing you are
helping others. Its clear that
everyone involved cares about
the community and about
doing good, Speer said.

Sunday, October 20, 2013 12 Noon
Chevrolet recently began
shipping the all-new 2014
Corvette Stingray Coupe to deal-
ers.
Its an amazing sight to see
the transporters filled with
Stingrays heading to customers
in all corners of the country,
said Dave Tatman, plant man-
ager of General Motors Bowl-
ing Green Assembly plant. The
pride at Bowling Green is over-
whelming and it shows in the
tremendous quality and atten-
tion to detail going into each one
of these new Corvettes.
Bowling Green Assembly has
produced approximately 1,000
Corvette Stingrays for customer
deliveries. Most of these vehi-
cles are expected to be delivered
to dealers within the next few
weeks. To expedite delivery, ve-
hicles may be shipped out of
build sequence, which is a nor-
mal part of any new vehicle
launch. The Bowling Green fa-
cility underwent a $131-million
upgrade to support production
of the Corvette Stingray, includ-
ing approximately $52 million
for a new body shop to manufac-
ture the cars all-new aluminum
frame in-house for the first
time.
The lightweight aluminum
frame is the foundation for the
most powerful standard
Corvette ever, with an SAE-cer-
tified 455 horsepower (339 kW)
and 460 lb-ft of torque (624 Nm)
and 460 horsepower (343 kW)
and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) with the
available performance exhaust
system. It is also the most capa-
ble standard Corvette ever, with
Z51-equipped models able to
sprint from 0 to 60 in 3.8 sec-
onds, run the quarter-mile in 12
seconds at 119 mph, achieve
1.03g in cornering grip and stop
from 60 mph in 107 feet.
Complementing its perform-
ance capability with efficiency,
the Corvette Stingray delivers
the best fuel economy of any
sports car on the market an
EPA-estimated 17 mpg in city
driving and 29 mpg on the high-
way. No other car offers more
than 455 horsepower and
greater than 29 mpg on the high-
way.
The 2014 Corvette Stingray is
the seventh generation of the
sports car, which has been built
exclusively at the Bowling
Green plant since June 1981.
Pricing for the 2014 Corvette
Stingray Coupe starts at $51,995
including destination. The Con-
vertible is priced at $56,995 in-
cluding destination. Production
of the Stingray Convertible will
begin by the end of this year.
The 2014 Stingray Corvette is the most powerful standard model ever, with an estimated 450 horsepower (335
kW) and 450 lb.-ft. of torque (610 nm). It will accelerate from 0-60 in less than four seconds (Photo by Joe Imel
for Chevrolet). PhoTo geneRAL moToRS.

Hidden Costs of
Homeownership
Compliments of
Ed Wohlfiel
PART 2 OF 2
Homeowners Insurance
You cant get a loan without
taking out homeowners insur-
ance but that doesnt cover
everything, especially if you
live in an area where natural
disasters occur. You should con-
sider supplemental policies for
floods, tornados, hurricanes
and earthquakes. And if you
have a lot of valuable items,
such as jewelry, antiques, art or
a lot of expensive equipment
like computers or cameras,
youll need to buy a rider if you
want them covered.
Decorating
One of the most satisfying
things about home ownership is
the ability to make your house
look just about any way you
want it. Want a moat and draw-
bridge? Put them in. Want a
tropical island theme? Do it.
You can change the appearance
of a house with something as
simple as paint or as elaborate
as a remodel. And a house new
to you generally needs furniture
and other items like window
treatments, carpeting and light
fixtures.
Home Maintenance
and Repairs
If you bought a fixer-upper,
you pretty much know whats
ahead of you. Time, sweat and
money then add another 20
percent or more to the costs.
But even a house in pristine
move-in condition is going to
need maintenance and its bet-
ter sooner rather than later.
There will come the day
maybe not now, but inevitably
that the roof will need to be re-
placed or the furnace breaks
down or something goes terri-
bly wrong with the plumbing.
Your choice is to repair or re-
place. If youre handy at DIY,
you have an advantage, but
youll still need to spend some
money.
Dont be too startled if every
year you have some sort of
major expense, sometimes cost-
ing thousands of dollars. To
smooth the edges off of those
unexpected expenditures, start
a savings account for your
house.
And its important to main-
tain your house. Down the line,
you may want to move up. To
sell your house for the best
price, you want to show a well-
maintained home, not a neg-
lected house.

L
iving in the heart of the north
doesnt get better than this.
Situated along 187 feet of
Black River frontage just west
of Onaway, this custom Cape
Cod style home offers spectac-
ular amenities both inside and out, setting
the stage for a lifestyle of elegance and ex-
citement in Northern Michigan.
The three-bedroom, two-bath home of-
fers approximately 1,500 square feet of ex-
ceptionally appointed living area. Interior
highlights include pickled cedar tongue &
grove walls, cathedral ceilings, radiant in-
floor heating, wood and tile flooring and
much more. Outdoors, a heated sidewalk
leads to a three-car heated garage, and a
wrap-around deck on the home provides
exceptional views of the just under three-
quarters of an acre property and beyond.
A centerpiece of those outdoor views is
the 187 feet of Black River frontage that is
part of the property. Its your very own
personal paradise for enjoying canoeing,
kayaking and fishing (bass, pan fish, pike
and trout). Hop in the vehicle and it is just
a short drive to Mullet Lake, Burt Lake
and Black Lake and the vast Inland Water-
way network.
What a perfect spot to enjoy living in the
north, and this custom Cape Cod with
Black River frontage is listed at just
$174,900.
