GAYLORD It was aneventful week for the Gaylordgirls of coach Frank Hamilla.League victories at home onTuesday and on the roadFriday followed by a game onthe road against tough, tal-ented non-league foe Clareon Saturday.

On Tuesday, Feb. 5, the

Blue Devils entertained thehome crowd with an impres-sive 58-50 triumph over BigNorth rival Traverse CityCentral, but that wasnt thebiggest news of the night.

Senior captain MackenzieEdwards, the Blue Devilslethal lefty, passed the 1,000-point scoring milestone withher very first basket of thenight. The game was stoppedbriefly as Mackenzie receivedthe game ball from coachHamilla and her worthyaccomplishment was recog-nized by the large, throatycrowd of Gaylord supporters,many of them there specifi-

cally to watch Mac make his-tory [see separate story onMackenzies milestone in thisissue].

What a great accomplish-ment for Mackenzie to get1,000 points, Hamilla said.Im really proud of her andso is the whole team. She

worked really hard for this.Mackenzie, who is taking

her talents to Lake SuperiorState after she graduates inthe spring, became the thirdplayer in the history of theGaylord girls program toreach the coveted 1,000-point plateau. Shanna Pratt

and Kelli (Krajniak) Parkerachieved the feat before her.

Ironically, Kelli was Macscoach when Mac wasbrought onto the varsity as afreshman and Kelli, a highschool physical educationinstructor, remains Macsmentor. Assistant coach MikeDeerfield also played a keyrole in Macs progress as aplayer over the years.

Mackenzie put points1,000 and 1,001 on the board

with a signatu re 10-footjumper in the first quarterand she padded her totalsafter that, finally finishing

with a game-high 22 points.In spite of missing several

weeks with an injured wrist

sustained early on and notcoming back until January,Mac is still the among theleading scorers in the ruggedBig North this season. She

was also the leading leaguescorer last year and was run-ner-up the year before that.

Mac also hauled in sixboards against the Trojansand put seven of her pointson the board in the first quar-ter as Gaylord assumed a 15-11 advantage.

Junior Maddie Hamillahammered the nets for 10points, including a rare four-point play in the first quarterto help fuel the Blue Devils

early drive out of the gates.Maddie also made sixrebounds.

Senior forward AlexSimmons struck for 10 pointsas well and showed up bigunder the glass, securing ateam-high seven rebounds

with a typical blue-col lareffort. Fellow senior forwardsChelsea Fox and StephanieButtrick each generatedseven points and exchangesbruises with the Central biggirls down low. Chelseagrabbed six boards and

Stephanie was solid defen-sively, as usual.

Senior point guard SarahPolena was perpetual motiononce again, covering thefloor like a fresh coat of wax.Polena penetrated with pur-pose, finding open team-mates time and time againfor quality shots at the buck-et. When it was over, Sarahaccumulated a whoppingnine assists.

Hamilla also creditedLauren Hintz with a solideffort off the bench, bringinga jolt of high-octane energyto the floor.

Jessie Heemstra hit for 19to pace the Trojans and TylerRawlings rang up 14.

All in all it was a goodteam victory, Hamilla said.When we get this type ofbalance were hard to beat.Mackenzie sealed the victory,making 5 out of 6 free throwsin the final minutes.

The Gaylord JV girls alsoturned in a solid showing,beating the Trojans 47-41.Sweet-shooting SydneyKassuba connected for 13points and cornered 10boards for a double-doubleand she also recorded foursteals. Freshman Brandi

Wagner waxed the twine for12 points and covered thefloor defensively like green

on a grass blade, making anamazing eight steals. Brandialso made five assists.Lindsey Zaremba addedsome zip to the attack also,zooming in for 12 points, andJulia Chwatum churned outthree.

ON FRIDAY in the annualpink fundraiser for cancerresearch at Alpena, the BlueDevils, wearing pink shorts,prevailed 49-34 to push theirrecord to 4-4 in the Big Northand 7-7 overall.

Gaylord trailed by four at

the half but came out strongdefensively in the third quar-ter and shut the Wildcatsdown. Alex Simmons sank ahuge trey to help spark theBlue Devils in the third quar-ter. Alex finished the night

with 13 points.

Mac led the way again, thistime making the twine danceto the tune of 21 points andshe also pulled down 10boards for a double-double.Mac also recorded fourassists and three steals. Foxcorralled seven rebounds

and Hamilla hauled in five.Polena produced five assists.

Christina Kollien connect-ed for eight to lead the

Wildcats.

The Gaylord JV prevailedagain, 42-32.

ON SATURDAY, the BlueDevils made the long trip toClare for a quick turnaroundgame and suffered an 80-54loss to a very talented oppo-nent.

Mac made 19 on the nightand Simmons struck for 14

with three steals. Polenapummeled the iron for nineand dished off four assists.The feisty Fox put the find onseven rebounds while Macmuscled in four boards and

Maddie and Polena each hadthree.

I think Clare was one ofthe better teams we facedthis year, Hamilla reported.

They were very balanced

with three girls in double fig-

ures and two others with

nine points. We were only

down seven at halftime but

they came out and scored the

first 7 points of the 3rd quar-

ter and took off from there.

I think playing in Alpena

less then 24 hours before the

Clare game took a toll on us,

but don't take anything away

from Clare, he added. They

were a very talented and

well-coached team.

Gaylord (7-8, 4-4) is homeagainst T.C. West this Friday,

Feb. 15. On Tuesday, Feb. 19,

the Blue Devils play at

Cheboygan.

GAYLORD The Gaylord

boys were hoping to make it

two wins in a row when Big

North foe Alpena came to

town Friday. The Blue Devils,

coming off a tense overtime

victory at Traverse City

Central on Tuesday, Feb. 5,

were looking to keep a good

thing going and gain their

first home victory of the sea-

son at the same time. And itwould have been especially

nice if it could come on

Senior Night.

It didnt happen, though.

The Blue Devils of coach Tim

ORourke battled aggressive-

ly and hard once again but

fell short against the talented

Wildcats, dropping a 60-44

decision. Alpena, which

enjoyed a notable height

advantage, improved to 8-4

overall and 5-4 in the Big

North while Gaylord fell to 2-

13 and 1-7.

Senior guard Tyler Frisch

turned in another fine per-formance in front of the large

home crowd, firing home 19

points to pace the Blue

Devils. He dialed in four

times from 3-point land in

the contest.

Fellow seniors Zach

Lundell and Cam Taylor each

tallied six points and hard-

working James Dunn and

Bryan Rabine each rang up

four. Senior Tyler Cherry

poured in a triple in the sec-

ond quarter and helped

spark a defensive uprising

that enabled the Blue Devils

to outscore Alpena in the

frame. Chris Stout and Ryan

Chrencik also brought fresh

legs and a fiery intensity to

the floor in the quarter.

The Blue Devils battled,

like always, but didnt have

an answer for Alpenas Luke

Cordes, who cracked the iron

for 24 points to lead the visi-

tors. Andrew Marwede

wound up with 14 points.

The Gaylord JV lost a

heartbreaker, 52-51.

ON TUESDAY, the Blue

Devils traveled to Central

and came away with a sweet

41-38 overtime win. The vic-

tory was especially nice

because Central rallied in the

final seconds to edge Gaylord

in the season opener on the

Blue Devils court.

It was Gaylords second

win of the season and first

league victory.

Frisch found the bottom of

the bucket for 11 points to

lead a balanced Gaylord

scoring chart. Zach

Pasternak added some zap of

his own, zeroing in for 10

points to join Frisch in dou-

ble digits on a night when

points didnt come in bunch-

es. Stout stoked the nets for

eight points and turned in his

typically tough, blue-collar

performance.

Stout was sturdy on

defense, too, and Chrencik,

Cherry and Dunn provided

some suffocating defense as

well.

Ethan Pularski put 11

points on the board for

Central with seven boards

and Colin Lesoski came

down with seven boards.

The Trojans, coming off an

upset of Petoskey the week

before, fell to 3-11 overall and

3-5 in the league.

The Gaylord JV also

secured victory, posting a 57-

45 decision as Blayne Baker,

Marcus ORourke, Steven

Fitzek and Collin Watters all

poured in points and Cotton

Neff contributed durable

two-way play.

Gaylord (2-13, 1-7) plays at

T.C. West on Thursday, Feb.

14. On Friday, Feb. 22, the

Blue Devils are on the road

against Cadillac.

GAYLORD A great

achievement for a terrific

young lady.

Gaylord senior Mackenzie

Edwards, a scoring machine

for the Blue Devils during her

four years as a varsity starter,

did something on Tuesday,Feb. 5, that only two other

Gaylord players before her

ever did. She surpassed 1,000

points for her career.

The only other Gaylord

players to achieve that out-

standing milestone were

Shanna Pratt, who accumu-

lated 1,286 points during her

stellar career, and Kelli

(Krajniak) Parker, who lit it

up for 1,038 points in her

career.

Ironically, it was Kelli

Parker who was coaching the

Gaylord varsity when

Mackenzie came through as

a freshman and decided that

Mac was ready to play on the

varsity right away. Kelli, who

went on to earn All-American

honors at Oakland University

and score 1,000 points in col-

lege, also happens to be

Macs gym teacher and men-

tor.

Mackenzies milestonemoment came in the Big

North game against Traverse

City Central in front of the

frenzied home crowd. The

lethal lefty did what she had

done hundreds of times in

the past, leaping high to

knock down a 10-foot jumper

on her very first attempt of

the game.

Mac not only surpassed

1,000 points for her career,

she also drained 22 points

altogether for the game and

helped the Blue Devils post

an impressive 58-50 triumph.

Mac made seven of her

points in the first quarter as

Gaylord surged to an early

lead. Then she hit 5-of-6 crit-

ical free throws down the

stretch to help her team sus-

tain the lead in the fourth

quarter. A typically effective

night for the senior.

On Friday at Alpena, Mac

made the twine dance for 21

more points, leading all scor-

ers as Gaylord won again, 49-

34. She also hauled in 10

rebounds for a double-dou-

ble.

On Saturday, in the loss at

Clare, Mac led all scorers

again with 19 points.

Going into the Big North

game that was played on

Tuesday, Feb. 12, at Traverse

City Central, Mackenzie had

1,061 career points, making

her second all time in the his-

tory of Gaylord girls hoops.

Mac hits milestone with early jumperat home vs. T.C. Central; she is thirdplayer for Gaylord girls to reach1,000-point plateau

Super-sharp sophomore

In the narrow, tense win atOnaway, the dangerousDingman drilled 22 points tohelp the Ironmen forge a latecomeback. He also generated10 rebounds and sevenassists.

Junior Austin Holton ham-mered home 14 points and

11. Griffin Borst was a beastinside, grabbing 10rebounds.

Will Brockman, who ishaving a whale of a seasonfor the struggling Trojans,canned 15 points for the visi-tors.

ON MONDAY in the winover Pellston, B-Ding drainedthe twine for 20 points andpulled down eight reboundsand he also delivered fourassists. Griffin Borst blisteredthe nets for nine points withfour boards and dependablepoint guard Logan Borstserved up sweet dishes like aFood Network chef all game

tributed eight points and 10boards with a blue-collareffort inside.

We kept BrandonDingman in check until thetip-off, said classy Pellstoncoach Cliff Hass. Hes just agreat all-around player andthe Mancelona players undertheir role. Theyre well-coached.

We minimized ourturnovers but our shots andGPS coordinates were on adifferent page, he added.

Pellston (3-12, 3-10) playedat unbeaten Bellaire on

Wednesday, Feb. 13, and is atOnaway on Friday, Feb. 15.

Mancelona (12-3, 10-1)

Wednesday, Feb. 20, theIronmen are home againstunbeaten league leaderBellaire in a game with bigSVC implications for bothteams. Bellaire is the onlyteam to beat Mancelona inleague play thus far.

Pellston 53Gaylord St. Mary 47

PELLSTON After winningjust one game in their first 12this season, the youngPellston Hornets of coach

Cliff Hass earned back-to-back Ski Valley victories overCentral Lake on Wednesday,Feb. 6, and over visitingGaylord St. Mary on Friday,Feb. 8.

In the 53-47 victory overthe Snowbirds, Pellstonthrilled the home crowd witha fourth-quarter rally. TheHornets trailed by a point,35-34, after three quartersbut outscored the Snowbirds19-12 over the last eight min-utes of play.

The game went back andforth and then forth andback, reported Pellstoncoach Cliff Hass. We didnt

panic this time. We playedwith poise and composure inthe fourth quarter and we

were fortunate to beat a goodbasketball team.

Senior guard JakeFriedenstab paced the bal-anced Pellston attack with 16points and he also broughtdown six rebounds andadded to the Hornets defen-sive intensity, recording threesteals.

Pellston also received posi-tive production from big menTanner Keller and Dale Stark.Keller connected for 10points with eight boards andthe long-armed Stark struck

for eight points with nineboards. Austin Wright waxedthe nets for 10 points to joinFriedenstab and Stark indouble figures and pointguard Austin Hamlin helpedgenerate the offense with hispassing, recording six assists.

strummed the nets for 16points with three boards andsmooth-striding junior NickHarrington hammered 12points with four assists andthree steals. Rugged seniorforward Nick Lochinskilaunched eight points andsenior guard Matt Spyhalskisprung for seven with fourassists and four steals.

"We had too manyturnovers on the night, saidSt. Mary coach Ken Blust.One bright spot was ourassists on 13 of our 17 fieldgoals. We allowed a team tostay with us throughout thegame, and never truly pulledaway like we had in our first

meeting."

Inland Lakes 56Onaway 55

INLAND LAKES Ever-dangerous Inland Lakesguard Dakotah Davedowskidialed in from long distance

with the game on the lineFriday and drained a clutch3-pointer to lift the hostBulldogs over hard-luckOnaway by a single point, 56-55.

It was the second game in arow that Onaway lost inheartbreaking fashion. In

their previous outing againstMancelona on Wednesday,the visiting Ironmen used alate charge to edge theCardinals by a single point,62-61.

Dakotahs downtown con-nection with just seconds leftto play lifted I-Lakes to 4-8overall and 4-5 in the Ski

Valley and set off a loud,spontaneous celebration infront of the large SnocomingNight crowd. The Bulldogsare on a tear, having won fourof their last five games goinginto action this week.

Onaway, which has beenhaving a fine season in spite

of the close defeats, slippedto 8-6 overall and 6-6 in thevery tough Ski Valley.

I-Lakes led 15-4 after thefirst quarter before Onawaystormed back behind thestrong play of juniors JoeOBradovich and CarlosBautista to outscore thehome team 18-5 in the sec-ond quarter take a 22-20 leadat the half of the wild, seesawgame.

In the third quarter, it wasI-Lakes asserting itself again,outscoring the Cardinals 21-9 to take a 41-31 lead into thefinal eight minutes of play.

The Cardinals, true to

form, closed out strong toregain the lead in the finalminute of regulation. But thegame is seemingly never outof reach for I-Lakes ifDakotah has the ball in hishands.

Dakotah launched onefrom 3-point land and didntgo south with it, filling the

rim with the directed missileas the appreciative home

crowd exploded with an ear-splitting cheer.

Davedowski wasnt the

only Bulldog showing plentyof bite on this special night,though. Nick Howery, whohas also been having a very

solid season for the Bulldogs,hit for a personal-best 20points to help lead the way

and he cleaned the glass bet-ter than Windex, pullingdown 15 rebounds against a

tough, physical aggressiveOnaway squad.

Davedowski drilled 16points, including the game-

winning trey, and RichardArmbrust er brought downeight rebounds and covered

Onaways bruising battlerBautista like a second coat ofskin.

OBradovich and Bautista

each made the twine turn for13 points to lead theCardinals.

I-Lakes also won the JVgame, 66-41.

Pickford 59Gaylord St. Mary 37

PICKFORD The St. Mary

boys of coach Ken Blust faceda tough, talented Pickford

squad on Wednesday, Feb. 6,and suffered a 59-37 defeat atthe hands of the Panthers.

Derrer says yes to

Siena HeightsBy Mike Dunn

MANCELONA

Mancelona senior running

back Wyatt Derrer is taking

his talents to the next level.

On Wednesday, Feb. 6, Wyatt

signed his letter of intent to

play football for Siena

Heights University, a blos-

soming NAIA gridiron pro-

gram entering its third year

of competition.

Wyatt capped a brillian t

two-year varsity career with

the Ironmen in the 2012 sea-

son, earning first-team All-

State honors after amassing

more than 1,500 yards rush-

ing with 22 touchdowns.

Wyatt, known for explosive

runs from scrimmage that

often resulted in long sprints

to the end zone, incredibly

averaged more than 10 yards

per carry for the second year

in a row.

In his two-year varsity

career, Wyatt rang up more

than 3,200 rushing yards for

the Ironmen, a school record,

and scored 45 touchdowns

while averaging a whopping

10.5 yards every time he

touched the ball.

Wyatt will likely play in the

backfield for Siena Heights

but Mancelona head coach

Dan Boo Derrer said the 6-

foot-1, 185-pound speed

burner with the great field

vision and excellent football

instincts may end up playing

in the secondary, as former

Mancelona star running back

Taylor Borst is doing at Taylor

University.

Hell do whatever they ask

him, whether its running

back or defensive back, said

Boo, who is also Wyatts

uncle. Wyatts going to work

hard and hes going to put inhis time in the weight room.

Hes got a lot to offer. Hes

very coachable and a great

athlete. I think this is a good

choice for him and I think

hell do well there.

Ironically, Siena Heights isin the same conference as

Taylor University so the for-

mer Mancelona gridiron

stars Derrer and Borst, who

both earned first-team All-

State recognition with the

Ironmen, will face each otherin college. Borst, who gradu-

ated in 2011, is entering his

third season with Taylor.

Tense victory over Gaylord, three-goalwin over Saginaw Nouvel give Northmen

school-record 15 wins this season

Petoske" sets schoolrecord for !ins

By Mike Dunn

PETOSKEY The Petoskey

hockey team established aschool record with the 14th

and 15th wins of the season

last week. On Wednesday,

Feb. 6, the Northmen edged

Big North foe Gaylord 2-1 in

a physical, intense battle

that was also the annual

Pink-in-the-Rink fundraiser

for cancer research. On

Friday, the Northmen trav-

eled to Saginaw and loaded

up the heavy guns in a 5-2

decision over Nouvel.

Petoskey pushed its

record to 15-8. Its previous

record for wins came in

2003-04 when the Northmenposted a 13-12-1 record.

Senior Brandon

Pomranke helped put the

Pom-Pow into the offense

at Saginaw with a goal and

two assists for the

Northmen. Aaron Cook

added to the recipe for suc-

cess with his sweet deliver-

ies, notching three assists.

The Skye Pilot, Skye

Pieffer, powered home anunassisted goal and

Bryndon Worden, Cam

Ludlow and Kevin Hansen

each hammered home a

solo goal. Ludlow also

recorded an assist, as did

Nick Trombley.

Junior Michael Whittaker

earned the big W with his

solid play between the

pipes.

ON FEB. 6 in the thrilling

Pink-in-the-Rink game

against the battling Blue

Devils, it was senior Tanner

Davis putting the puck in

flight with a sizzling slam-mer in the third period to

give the Northmen the tense

2-1 triumph.

Gaylord goalie Peter

Lawton kept the game tight

throughout, standing on his

head at different times to

keep the Northmen out of

the nets. Lawton was virtual-

ly impenetrable for most the

game, turning away 34 of 36

shots directed at him.Tom Crampton put the

Northmen on top early with

a crackling cannon of a

blast, with help from the

D.S. Express, Derek Smith.\

The Blue Devils tied

things up in the second peri-

od when opportunistic

Anthony Tomaski torched

one with assists from Cam

Laug and Seth Muzyl.

The score remained knot-

ted at 1 until Davis delivered

his dynamite in the clutch.

Petoskeys Pink-in-the-

Rink game raised more than

$2,000 for the McLaren

Foundation and the

Kathleen Jontz Breast Health

Fund.

Blue Devils get best of Ogemaw Heights, Petoskey in D-2 team district tourney

By Mike Dunn

PETOSKEY The Gaylord

wrestling team did it again

on Wednesday, Feb. 6.

The Blue Devil grapplers of

coach Jerry LaJoie won a Div.

2 team district title for the

fifth straight time with a

sweep at Petoskey. Gaylord

defeated Ogemaw Heights

59-19 in the opening roundand then decisioned host

Petoskey 50-25 in the title

match.

Gaylord had already beat-

en the Falcons and

Northmen during the regular

in Big North action.

The Blue Devils earned a

berth in the team regional

tournament that took place

on Wednesday, Feb. 13, atMount Pleasant.

Hard-nosed junior Seth

Lights Out Lashuay not

only helped Gaylord earn the

title with his sweep at 112

pounds but he also earned

the 100th win of his notable

prep career to join the presti-

gious Blue Devil Century

Club. Lashuays milestone

win came with a tech fall over

Cory Dubke of Ogemaw.

Lashuay also had a pin

against the Northmen.

Tough Tristan Gregory

(189) powered his way to two

points on the night forGaylord, as did Jeff Heinz

(135). Shane Foster (171),

Trent Hunt (152) and Matt

Kempfer (125) swept their

two matches along with

Lashuay.

Jonah Foote split his

matches at 103 pounds, win-

ning by void against Ogemaw

before losing a narrow deci-

sion to Petoskeys Trevor

Giallombardo in a spirited

battle. Hunter Worden split

his two bouts at 160 pounds.

Will Volmer (285), Brandon

Ervin (130), Matt Jenkins

(145), Roger Gordon (135)

and Jake Panosso (140) also

won a match for the beastly

Blue Devils.

James Gazarato, Jordan

Haggerty, Mike Kibbe and

Nick Strobel won matches for

Petoskey.

ON SATURDAY, Feb. 2, in

the individual Big North

Championships at Alpena,

Gaylord grapplers Lashuay,

Kempfer, Heinz, Hunt, Foster

and Gregory each won league

titles in their respective

weights.

Senior strong man Danny

Raw Meat Miller earned

runner-up in the league at

heavyweight, quite an

accomplishment considering

he was typically outweighed

by at least 20 pounds.

Warden and Panosso also

earned silver medals for the

Blue Devils in their weights

while the fearsome Foote and

hard-nosed Jenkins each

took third.

KALKASKA Senior guard-

forward Scott Parkinson had

what his coach called maybe

his best game of his high

school career, as his team-high 26 points helped carry

the Grayling boys varsity bas-

ketball team to a critical 76-

56 win over the host Kalkaska

Blue Blazers in a Lake

Michigan Conference

matchup Friday, Feb. 8.

The road win has the

Vikings (11-3 overall) tied for

second in the LMC standings

with Charlevoix (10-2 overall,

as both teams sport 8-1 con-

ference records. Both trail

Traverse City St. Francis,

which remains undefeated at

15-0 overall and 10-0 in con-

ference play.We have a huge game on

Tuesday (Feb. 12) versus St.

Francis, said Grayling head

coach Rich Moffit.

But, to keep pace, the

Vikings needed to beat a

struggling Kalkaska (2-11

overall, 0-10 LMC) squad that

still plays tough, especially at

home.

And, on Friday, thats

exactly what the host Blazers

did for three quarters.

Grayling opened up a five-

point lead, 16-11, in the first

quarter, but Kalkaska worked

to keep the game close athalf, 35-29. The third quarter

proved again to be a see-saw

battle, with the Vikings

unable to pull away and

heading into the final stanza

with a 51-43 advantage.That all changed in the

fourth quarter, with Grayling

outgunning Kalkaska, 25-12,

to secure the victory.

"Give the Kalkaska players

and coaching staff credit.

Moffit said. They were miss-

ing their key player, but they

still came out and played

with a ton of energy and

enthusiasm.

Moffit was equally enthusi-

astic about his own teams

play.

I was very pleased with

the way that we shared the

ball in the game, he said. T-Mac (junior guard Tyler

McClanahan) did a great job

of distributing the ball. He

made it a point to get our

players involved and it made

a difference in the game.

Scott Parkinson had per-

haps his best game as a

Viking, Moffit added. He

played solid at both ends of

the court.

Besides his scoring,

Parkinson led the Vikings in

rebounding with 10 boards,

tallied 5 steals and handed

out 3 assists.

Two other Vikings alsomake their presence felt with

double-digit performances.

Junior forward-center Justice

Junttila chipped in 14 points,

4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1

steal, while McClanahanposted solid numbers in

nearly every facet of the

game with 11 points, 3

rebounds, team-best 8 assists

and 4 steals.

Other contributors for

Grayling included: Jake

Swander with 8 points, 3

boards, 6 steals and 1 assist;

Wes Dean with 8 points, 2

rebounds and 1 steal;

Michael Branch with 5

points, 2 boards and 4 steals;

Carson Burmeister with 2

points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals

and 1 assist; Tyler Summers

with 2 points and 1 board;Matt Burrell with 2 rebounds,

1 steal and 1 assist; and

Richie Sanford with 1

rebound.

Grayling 49

Elk Rapids 39It might have not been the

prettiest game, but in the end

it was another win for

Grayling, as the host Vikings

topped LMC foe Elk Rapids,

49-39, on Tuesday, Feb. 5.

In what was a defensive

battle, both teams combined

for only 13 points in the third

quarter."This was a very physical

and competitive game from

the start, Moffit said. Both

teams grinded out each pos-

session and were active

defensively.Grayling seemed in control

early, working its way to a 15-

8 lead after the opening stan-

za. But, the visiting Elks

looked to chip away at the

Viking advantage, outscoring

Grayling, 12-11, in the sec-

ond quarter and narrowing

the gap to 26-20 at intermis-

sion.

The Vikings gained some

more breathing room after

the half, more than doubling

the Elks offensive output, of

their way to building an 11-

point lead, 35-24. Though,

that wasnt saying much,with Grayling cagers manag-

ing just 9 points in the peri-

od.

We played very well

defensively in the third quar-

ter, holding Elk to just four

points, Moffit said.

Both teams got back to

scoring in double figures in

the final stanza, as Elk Rapids

outscoring the host Vikings,

15-14. That wasnt enough,

however, to change the out-

come.

Despite the game being a

defensive struggle, Swander

had a strong offensive out-ing, scoring nearly half of

Graylings points. The junior

swingman led the Vikings

with 22 points, 2 rebounds, 2

steals and 1 assist.

Other contributors for the

Vikings included: Parkinson

9 points, 2 boards, 3 steals

and 2 assists; McClanahan 7

points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists

and 1 steal; Branch with 6points, 7 rebounds and 1

steal; Peyton Zigila with 2

points, 3 rebounds, 3 steals

and 1 assist; Burrell with 2

points; Junttila with 1 point

and 7 rebounds; Dean with 3

rebounds and 2 steals; and

Tyler Powers with 3

rebounds, 2 steals and 2

assists.

GRAYLING The host

Grayling girls varsity basket-ball team struggled to make

shots in its Lake MichiganConference matchup Friday,Feb. 8, against Kalkaska. And,

it showed on the scoreboard,with the visiting Blue Blazers

leaving Grayling with a 62-38win.

The loss dropped the Lady

Vikings to 7-8 overall and just3-7 in conference play. Onthe flip side, Kalkaska

improved to 11-3 on the sea-son and is 8-1 in the LMC,

just a game behind league-leading Traverse City St.

Francis.Kalkaska is a very good

team but we played them

tough throughout the game,Vikings head coach Joe

Powers said. However, westruggled to make shots.

Grayling scored just fivepoints in the first frame and

11 in the second quarter.That allowed the visiting

Blazers to open up a 26-16

lead at intermission.

And, Kalkaska started to

run away in the second halfby outscoring Grayling, 21-8,

in the third quarter.I was happy with our

effort as we played one of the

league leaders on their homecourt, Powers said. Being

within 10 in the first half gaveus a shot.

We really needed to con-

vert on some of our greatopportunities, as we weredown, 11-5, in the first quar-

ter. But, we outshot them, 23-10.

And, Grayling got shots,including good lucks at the

basket, according to Powers.We were able to have high

quality shots but did not

shoot for a good percentage,he added. We were happy

that we were able to outshootKalkaska with our 70 shots,

but we were only able toscore 38 points.

The Lady Vikes also wonthe battle on the glass, outre-

bounding the Blazers, 42-32.

Senior forward Maddie

Benardo led that fight, ripped

down a team-high 9rebounds, as well as tallying 7

points, 4 steals and 1 blockedshot in the loss.

Senior guard Alyssa Morley

had a team-best 8 points, 4boards, 2 assists and 1

blocked shot for the LadyVikes, while sophomore

Samantha Denno chipped in

6 points, 4 rebounds, 3blocked shots and 1 steal.


Grayling in Fridays lossincluded: Caitlin Prosser

with 5 points, 5 rebounds, 2assists and 1 steal; Haley

Elk Rapids 52Grayling 41

In the end, the Lady Vikes

just couldnt overcome the

size advantage of the visiting

Elk Rapids Elks in a LMC

clash on Monday, Feb. 4.

The taller Lady Elks wore

down Grayling for a 52-41

victory.

It was a close game

throughout, Powers said.

Elk Rapids huge size advan-

tage eventually won out as

their four six-foot or more

girls controlled the boards.

However, we did a decent

job on the boards even

though six of their players

were taller than our tallest

player.

The two conference rivals

were tied, 13-13, after the

first quarter and the Lady

Vikes trailed by just two

points, 23-21, going into the

locker rooms at halftime.

But, the Elks pulled away

ever so slightly in the second

half, outscoring Grayling, 29-

20, after intermission.

We had our opportunitiesbecause the girls worked

extremely hard and scrappedall the way, Powers said. Itsvery tough having to play

people that can just simplyreach over the top of you but

our girls had no quit in them.They fought and worked the

whole game.

Despite taking the loss, theGrayling hoopsters foughtthe good fight.

We ended the game evenwith rebounds, but part of

that was because we outre-bounded them on the offen-

sive end, 16-6, Powersadded. This led to us getting25 more shots than Elk

Rapids, outshooting them,64-39, for the game.

We were surprised that wewere not able to get to the

free-throw line more, sincewe shot only eight free

throws, while Elk was fortu-nate enough to go to the line

31 times, he said. We

played them evenly, but the

difference ended up being

the free-throw opportuni-

ties.

Whittake r and Caitlin

Prosser each scored 11 points

to help lead the Vikings.

Whittake r also had 4

rebounds, 3 steals, 1 assist

and 1 block against Elk

Rapids, while Prosser tallied

6 rebounds, 3 steals and 1

assist on the night.


Grayling included: Morley

with 7 points, 4 rebounds

and 1 steal; Denno with 5

but a tie to show for it, f inally

got the first win of the tough

2012-13 season and it was

well-deserved.

The Blue Devils, who had

struggled to generate quality

scoring opportunities inrecent games, blew out of the

blocks in explosive fashion

on Friday, scoring four times

to take a commanding 4-1

advantage on the score-board. After a scoreless sec-

ond period, Harrison Quaal

hammered home Gaylords

fifth goal in the first 39 sec-

onds of the third period to

make it 5-1. St. Clair scored

twice after that but the Blue

Devils finished on top.

It was shifty sophomore

Mitchell Lawton putting

Gaylord ahead very early in

the contest. Missile Mitch

launched a laser just 1:04

into the game, with help

from opportunistic sopho-

more Garrett Richardson and

fellow sophomore Josh

Delaney. Then it wasRichardson ringing up his

first goal of the season three

minutes later to make it 2-0

with help from hustlin g

sophomore Jackson Deans.After St. Clair scored to

trim the lead to 2-1, senior

Seth Muzyl slammed one

home to make it 3-1 and then

Anthony Tomaski tagged one

to make it 4-1. Trevor Adams

and Cam Laug earned assists

on Muzyls power-play pop

and Tom Lindbert and Muzyl

helped set up Tomaskis

power play poison.

Sturdy defenseman Robb

Hansen helped Harrison

Quaal with a perfect feed to

earn an assist when Quaal lit

the scoring lamp.

Peter Lawtons peerless

play between the pipes wasalso a huge factor in

Gaylords first win.

ON SATURDAY, Gaylord

took on powerful Utica in the

title game of the ChelseaShowcase and dropped a 7-1

decision. This time it was

Utica gaining a big early lead

and turning the tables on the

Blue Devils.

Alec George had three

goals and two assists for

Utica, including a short-

handed goal in the first peri-

od, and Trevor George had

two assists.

Mitchell Lawton launched

a missile to account for

Gaylords lone goal in the

game, with help from reliable

Garrett Richardson.

Gaylord was just 3-for-6 in

penalty killing in the contestand Utica was 6-for-6.

ON WEDNESDAY, Feb. 6,

in the tough 2-1 loss at

Petoskey in what was the

annual Pink-in-the-Rinkfundraiser for cancer

research, Anthony Tomaski

torched one with assists from

Cam Laug and the ubiqui-

tous Seth Muzyl for Gaylords

lone goal.

Gaylord goalie Peter

Lawton kept the game tight

throughout, standing on his

head at different times to

keep the Northmen out of

the nets. Lawton was virtual-

ly impenetrable for most the

game, turning away 34 of 36

shots directed at him.

Tanner Davis drilled the

eventual game-winner for

the Northmen in the thirdperiod.

Petoskeys Pink-in-the-

Rink game raised more than

$2,000 for the McLaren

Northern MichiganFoundation and the Kathleen

Jontz Breast Health Fund.

Gaylord (1-16-1) plays host

to the Mid-Michigan Storm

of Gladwin this Friday, Feb.

15, and to the Traverse Bay

Reps on Saturday, Feb. 16.

Both games start at 7 p.m.

The Blue Devils close out

the regular season with a

weekend home-and -home

series against Big North foe

Alpena. On Friday, Feb. 21,

Gaylord plays at Alpena and

on Saturday, Feb. 22, the

Wildcats come to theSportsplex.

narrow loss at Petoskey

DNR is conducting survey inLower Peninsula from Feb. 11

through March 8 to detectpresence of gray wolves

DNR seeks help with wolf surve

GAYLORD The

Department of NaturalResources will conduct a

wolf track survey Feb. 11through March 8 to detectthe presence of gray wolves

in the northern Lower

Peninsula.

Given the low probabilityof observing an actual wolf

or its tracks in the Lower

Peninsula, said DNRwildlif e biologis t Jennifer

Kleitch, its helpful to have

as many eyes looking as pos-

sible and thats why publicreports are so important.

Wolves began natural ly

returning to MichigansUpper Peninsula via Canada

and Wisconsin in the early

1990s. Since that time popu-

lations have increased andcontinue to expand their

range. Evidence of range

expansion into the LowerPeninsula came when a gray

wolf was accidentally killed

in Presque Isle County in

2004.

Wolf sighti ngs or tracks

believed to have been from awolf, between Feb. 11 and

March 8 can be reported tothe Gaylord OperationsService Center at 989-732-

3541, ext. 5901. Reports of

observations can also be

submitted online atwww.dnr.state.mi.us/wildlif

e/pubs/wolf_obsreport.asp.

Survey teams will respondto areas where there have

been one or more observa-

tions. Priority will be placed

on recent reports and thosesubmitted during the survey

period.

Its important that obser-vations are reported

promptly so we can work

with fresh evidence. If the

public finds what theybelieve are wolf tracks, they

should preserve the track,

disturbing it as little as pos-sible, or take a photo of the

tracks with a ruler, said

Kleitch. If someone has a

photo of a wolf in the Lower

Peninsula, wed certainly beinterested in that as well.

The DNR is partnering in

this survey effort with USDA

Wildlife Servic es, Grand

Traverse Band of Ottawa and

Chippewa Indians, Little

River Band of Ottawa

Indians and Little TraverseBay Bands of OdawaIndians.

Daily WordTHURSDAY: Exodus 34:14 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 14 for you shall not wor-ship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God

FRIDAY: Psalm 2:11 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 11 Worship the Lord with rever-

ence And rejoice with trembling.

SATURDAY: Psalm 95:6-11 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 6 Come, let us worship and

bow down, Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. 7 For He is our God, And we are

the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you would hear His

voice, 8 Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the

wilderness, 9 When your fathers tested Me, They tried Me, though they had seen My

work. 10 For forty years I loathed that generation, And said they are a people who

err in their heart, And they do not know My ways. 11 Therefore I swore in My anger,

Truly they shall not enter into My rest.

SUNDAY: Luke 24:48-53 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 48 You are witnesses of these

things. 49 And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but

you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.50 And He

led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 While

He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. 52 And

they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were contin-

ually in the temple praising God.

MONDAY: John 4:22-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 22 You worship what you do not

know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But an hour is

coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and

truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 God is spirit, and

those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

TUESDAY: Hebrews 13:7-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 7 Remember those who led

you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct,

imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 9 Do

not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be

strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those

who were so occupied were not benefited.

WEDNESDAY: Psalm 84:9-12 New American Standard Bible

(NASB) 9 Behold our shield, O God, And look upon the

face of Your anointed. 10 For a day in Your courts is bet-

ter than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the

threshold of the house of my God Than dwell in the tents

of wickedness. 11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;

The Lord gives grace and glory; No good thing does He

withhold from those who walk uprightly. 12 O Lord of

hosts, How blessed is the man who trusts in You!

PERSPECTIVEWilliamHughes

As a child I was brought up in a traditional Catholic family, attending church every Sunday. I

did not attend church because I wanted to, but because it was a requirement of my faith. Once

the church service started the clock watching countdown started. Many thoughts ran through my

mind as the priest delivered the message, none of which were focused on what he was trying to

get across to the congregation. My thoughts were more along the line of; will he use the short ver-

sion of the readings? Who is that cute girl sitting on the other side of the church? Where will we go

for breakfast when the service is finally over? I wonder if I can get my brother in trouble if I poke

him in the ribs and get him to make a fuss? All the while wondering how one hour can drag on so

long.

When I turned eighteen my parents still insisted that I attend church even though attendancewas just a formality I went through to please my mom and dad. It was just a routine that was pret-

ty much the same week after week. One way I had to prove to my parents that I did attend church

was to bring home a current church bulletin each Sunday. I even went so far as to sneak into the

back of the church and take a bulletin without staying for the service. I just did not understand

the importance of what attending church really meant.

Now with the passage of time and a change of location I attend an Evangelical church. I now

attend church every Sunday not because I have to but because I want to. The service is never

repetitive and always exciting. I found that I have an overwhelming desire to become a member

and do all I can do to participate to the greatest extent possible. I love using my Bible to follow

along with the pastors message. At times it seems as though the service has just gotten started

only to find out that an hour and a half has gone by, and yet I find that I want it to last longer. To

be fair I need to explain that the real difference between then and now was accepting Jesus Christ

as my Lord and Savior. The old ways are past and I now live to serve the Lord in all ways available

to me. If you have not yet taken the step to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior I would encour-

age you to do so now. The peace of knowing that you will spend eternity in heaven will allow you

to get the most out of the fellowship waiting for you at a full Gospel, Bible believing church. See

you Sunday...

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Bill.

Thoughts on...Describe the worship experience in the churchwhere you grew up. Is it different or the same in the

church you attend now? How?

How to scout outthe bestplace to

call homeCompliments ofEd Wohlfiel

Part 1 of 2

Once you've become pre-quali-

fied for a loan, you should be

ready to put your house-hunting

efforts into full gear. But don't skip

the important step of scouting out

neighborhoods before you start

your search for the perfect house.

The neighborhood in which you

live will heavily dictate your whole

way of lifethings like walking to

a nearby park with your kids,

knowing your kids are attending

good schools, feeling safe whenyour children play outdoors,

being close to restaurants and

shopping, enjoying a short com-

mute, and knowing your home

will appreciate at a healthy rate.

Of course one way to get started

in your neighborhood search is to

get in your car and explore, espe-

cially if you're unfamiliar with the

area. Get an idea about the neigh-

borhoods by driving around and

seeing which areas appeal to you.

Walk around, explore, and talk to

some of the residents.

Take note of the general

appearance of the homes. Are

they well maintained? Are they

nicely landscaped?

If you have children, you mightbe looking for a neighborhood

with plenty of children around, as

opposed to neighborhoods that

attract more seniors or young sin-

gles.

Other factors you'll want to

consider are the schools, crime,

your family's specific needs, and

appreciation - as in how much the

value of the home is likely to

increase.

A good Realtor will be very

familiar with all the neighbor-

hoods in the area and should be

able to tell you about the strengths

and weaknesses of the specific

neighborhoods you're eyeing.

The school districtEven if you don't have school-

aged children, buying a home in a

district with good schools will be

in your best interest. When and if

you sell the home at some point in

the future, future buyers with chil-

dren will likely consider good

schools their top priority. And

neighborhoods with good schools

typically attract more buyers.

There are several sites on the

Web in which school reports are

just a few mouse clicks away.

Basically all you do is enter a geo-

graphical area or zip code and it

will display ratings for the school

system.

Also:

Ask your Realtor about informa-

tion on schools in the area.

Talk to people in the neighbor-

hood, especially people with chil-

dren.

Standardized test scores are

also available on the Internet.

Visit the schools and take a tour

if you have children. It's impor-

tant that your decision isn't based

purely through facts gathered

online. Get a true feeling for what

the school is like.
