CHEBOYGAN Itwill not necessarilyrate among the pret-

tiest in a long-run-

ning rivalry thathas seen its share of

memorable epicclashes.

But style pointsmatter little, if at

all, to either of the participants.

Cheboygan held off Petoskey, 9-6, last week in a hard-hitting

never-give-an-inch non-leaguehigh school football game at the

Chiefs Western Avenue Field.Forget window dressing and

style points. The bottom line is

this: The Chiefs are 4-1 and took amajor confidence boost from

snapping a five-game losingstreak against the Northmen,

while Petoskey is 2-3 and mustwin its final four games to guar-

antee itself a playoff berth.

And with that, both schoolslook ahead.

It was much-needed medicinefor our kids, said Cheboygan

coach Jack Coon, who was namedthe Detroit Lions state high

school coach of the week leading

up to the Chiefs game withPetoskey. It really was. This

game was really an importantcomponent to our season. You can

tell the kids that hey, you playPetoskey one year at a time, but

you cant get past the newspaper,

the talk, the internet talk. Itstough to protect your kids from

that type of bombardment of in-formation. I was proud of the way

they were able to handle it, and

Im proud of their accomplish-ment.

We said in the pregame, wevehad some great historical games

with Petoskey, but that doesntmatter tonight. Tonight its about

our history, its about right now.Now thats history.

The Chiefs now turn their at-tention to Alpena, 1-4, which

comes into Western Avenue Field

having lost four straight afteropening the season with a 15-7

win over Escanaba. Petoskey,which hasnt played a home game

in a month, returns to thefriendly confines of Curtis Field

for a Big North Conference game

with Traverse City Central. TheTrojans, the defending league

champions, are 3-2 overall, 1-1league. The Northmen are 0-2 in

conference play.For us, its just a matter of

being more consistent and keep-

ing the morale up, said Petoskeycoach Kerry VanOrman, whose

team has lost three straightgames for the first time since 2007.

Its been a long three weeks onthe road. We finally get to go

home, but its not any easier.

Theres not an easy game on ourschedule.

I think a win definitely wouldbe big for us. It would take a lot of

pressure off the kids and theteam. Its a matter of focus in

practice right now, and when we

watch film we focus on thosesmall things, the angles on blocks,

the defensive pursuit, the hustlethings. All the little things. Weve

just go to keep going forward.Thats all you can do.

The Northmen should get a

boost with the return of seniorcaptain Shea Whitmore, who

starts at both tight end and line-backer. Whitmore did not dress

for the Cheboygan game becauseof an injury he suffered one week

earlier in a 31-14 to Traverse City

West.The win over the Northmen

was Cheboygans third straight,and the Chiefs are 4-1 for the first

time since 2008, when they fin-

ished 8-2. Of Cheboygans four re-maining opponents Alpena,

Sault Ste. Marie, Benzie Centraland St. Ignace only one, the St.

Ignace (4-1), has a winning record.Cleary, the Chiefs have regained

their footing after a 35-3 loss to

Marquette in the second week ofthe season.

We were so upset after theMarquette game, Coon said.

The kids were upset. Theyre

motto now is win out and theyknew that there was a big moun-

tain to climb against Petoskey,and so each week its come closer

and closer to fulfilling that motto.Thats what they break down each

and every day, that were going to

win out.I told the kids you have to play

week to week because this week isabout adjustments that youve got

to make for Alpena. You have tofocus just on the adjustment and

the problems Alpena creates for

you. Make the one-week adjust-ments and move on.

No stronger case could be madefor that philosophy for both the

Chiefs and Northmen than lastweek, when Cheboygan entered

Chiefs grind out win over Petoskey

FIFE LAKE Gaylord St.

Mary head foot-ball coach

Kevin OCon-nell was deter-

mined to stay

with what wasworking on Fri-

day in the SkiValley South gridiron show-

down at the field of Forest Area.And he did.

As a result, smooth-striding,

hard-banging senior halfback

Anders Marquard carried theball a whopping 37 times for 198yards worth of hard-won real es-

tate out of the Power Pistol for-mation and helped to carry the

Snowbirds to a very impressive

42-14 triumph over the hometeam. St. Mary improved to 2-3

overall and 1-2 in the league.We made a commitment of

staying with what works and sowe just kept pounding Anders,

OConnell said. We basically

gave him the ball and said, Runwith it, Sunshine. Orion

Beningo and Cam Juneac did afantastic job blocking for him

and Forest Area wasnt able to

stop what we were doing. It waspure power football. Anders

lugged the ball like a machine.Marquard proved to be the

gunpowder for the Power Pistolpackage as he mashed, muscled

and maneuvered his way over,

though and around the Warriorson his busy night and also

scored a touchdown. There weredrives when he ran the ball five,

six or seven times in succession.Fellow junior Nick Harring-

ton also had another huge night

at quarterback. His electricmoves and elusive runs ac-

counted for 146 yards in just 12carries and he reached the end

zone three times. Harringtonhas a remarkable 15 rushing

touchdowns in five games with

another 11 TD passes and alsotwo interception returns for

touchdowns. He has been part of28 of St. Marys 30 touchdowns

to date.The Snowbirds pushed, pro-

pelled and powered their way to

381 yards rushing in 60 attemptsaltogether in the game. Feisty

freshman running back JoshNowicki got into the act, too,

getting his first varsity offensiveaction as he toted the ball three

times for 11 yards including a

first down carry in the fourthquarter.

When Harrington didnt haveto go to the air very often but he

was effective when he did, find-

ing rangy senior receiverCharles Strehl for TD strikes of30 and 7 yards.

Something else OConnell was

happy about is the Snowbirds,after struggling with turnovers

in previous games, only gave upthe ball one time in Fridays vic-

tory.OConnell commended the O-

line of Geoff Wind, Cole Loffer,

Brendan Nowicki, Willie Can-field and Double Krush Kyle

Koski for their labors in thetrenches.

And the really good news from

OConnells perspective is thatthe defense played by far its best

game to date. Forest Areas dan-gerous receiver Justin Burke

broke away twice in the firstquarter as the Warriors surged

to an early lead but the suddenly

suffocating Snowbird defensekept Burke and the explosive

Forest Area playmakers off thescoreboard the rest of the way.

OConnell, who previouslyserved as defensive coordinator

at Farwell, Gaylord and

Grayling before becoming thehead coach at St. Mary, was nat-

urally thrilled.Burke had some nice touches

for them and made some athleticplays but after we got burned a

few times in the first quarter, wesettled down and played good,

physical football, OConnell

said. We cant continue to spotpeople 14 points like that but I

was happy with the way wecame back and held them score-

less for three quarters. The kidsdid a pretty good job of reading

their keys and swarming to the

football. It was a good showing

and it gives us a nice boost ofconfidence on that side of the

ball.

OConnell was particularlypleased with the play of tena-

cious trench warriors BrendanNowicki, Orion Beningo, Willie

Canfield and Jarrell CrunchTime Krussell. Beningo had an

early fumble recovery on a

muffed punt, one of a remark-

able six takeaways by the Snow-

bird defense, and a bone-jarringsack that sent ripples through

the bleachers.

Outside linebacker AlphonseBuclay also showed up big, cov-

ering the field like green on agrass blade as he recorded a

team-high seven tackles, includ-

ing two behind the line, withthree assists and a fumble recov-

ery. Cole Lof fer lowered theproverbial boom also from his

inside linebacker post, makingseven takedowns. Jack Lochin-

ski, Strehl and fiery freshman

Andrew Greif had intercep-

tions.Versatile Jack Lochinski had

a big night on special teams as

he boomed the ball with hisgolden right leg, going a perfect

6-for-6 in extra points and also

placing seven kickoffs in side-lines spots where the speedy

Burke brothers (Justin andDion) couldnt return them.

Next up for St. Mary is Ubly, aClass C school from the rugged

Thumb region with a deceptive

1-4 record. The game against theBearcats is slated for a 7:30 p.m.

kickoff since they are travelingthree-plus hours to get to Gay-

lord.Ubly is located about halfway

between Sandusky and Bad Axe

on M-19 in the heart of theThumb. The Bearcats have been

a great team in the past, playingin the tough Thumb-C Confer-

ence, but they must be down alittle this year. They lost to San-

dusky 36-26 and to Marlette 57-12

in their last two outings.They bring a great history;

theyve been very successful andthey play a tough schedule, O-

Connell said. Theyre very dis-ciplined in the wing-T and run it

very, very well. We have to be

more disciplined and more phys-ical than them. We need to stay

in our gaps and trust each other.If you get caught watching the

ball with the offense they run,

youll get burned.OConnell expects Ubly to run

an odd-man front defensivelyand try to force St. Mary to

throw the football.You wont see Anders carry-

ing the ball 37 times this week,

he said. Theyll load the box sowe need to be able to throw the

ball to spread their defense. Wehave to run good routes and

make them honor the pass.

HARBOR SPRINGS The

Grayling Vikings werent about

to allow a tough 34-14 road loss toTraverse to derail what should be

another winning season and tripthe state playoffs, rebounding

from their only loss to date witha 42-7 rout of the host Harbor

Spring Rams on Friday, Sept. 27.

Using the strong arm of seniorquarterback Jake Swander to

lead the way, Grayling (4-1 over-all) cruised to the win over its

host Friday in improving to 2-0 inLake Michigan Conference play.

Swander tormented the Rams

defenders, completing 69 percent

of his passes (23-of-34) for 284yards and 4 touchdowns. Harbor

Springs (2-3 overall, 0-3 confer-ence) simply couldnt cover all of

Swanders intended marks, as heconnected with seven different

receivers on the night.

Senior Brandon Latusek endedup being one of Swanders fa-

vorite targets, catching a team-best 8 passes for 80 yards and 2

TDs. Not to be outdone, seniorTyler McClanahan led the

Vikings in receiving yards with

89 on 5 catches.

But, again, there was morethan enough to go around.

Junior Dan Schultz gathered in4 passes for 45 yards and 2 TDs

for the Vikings, while seniorMichael Branch had 3 catches for

36 yards. Senior Nick Swiercz

and junior Scout Tobin both had2 catches for a total of 16 yards

each against the Rams, and sen-ior Kevin Harris pulled down 1

throw for 2 yards.While not doing lot of damage

in Graylings aerial assault, Har-

ris did lead the charge on the

ground with a team-best 70 yardsand 1 TD on just 6 carries.

Branch added another TD run, ashe carried the ball a team-high 7

times for 44 yards.Tobin helped Viking rushers

pile on the stats versus the Rams,

with 19 yards on just 2 carries.And, senior Justin Conforti got

in on the act with 2 carries for 18yards, as the Grayling offense

racked up 435 yards in the roadwin.

The Vikings face another key

battle in their bid to win the

LMC, as they host Elk Rapids (4-1, 2-0 conference) at Grayling

High School on Friday, Oct. 4.The game is set to begin at 7 p.m.

A third LMC team, Boyne City,is also 4-1 overall and 2-0 in con-

ference action.

INDIAN RIVER Inland Lakes

rebounded, again.And coach Stan Schramm hopes

that Fridays Ski Valley Confer-

ence North Division intense 28-24win over Rudyard propels the

Bulldogs on a second-half run thatlands them a playoff berth.

All of our games have beenpretty close and our kids, maybe

we took a step forward, said

Schramm, whose team bouncedback from a 38-29 league loss to St.

Ignace in improving to 3-2 overall,2-1 in the Ski Valley North. I

thought we finished really well in(the Rudyard) game and I thought

against St. Ignace the wheels kind

of came off a little bit. We cameup with big plays when we needed

to and executed really well. As acoaching staff, youre happy to see

that. Weve got another tough oneagainst Central Lake and well see

if we can keep this ball rolling.

The Bulldogs play host to theTrojans in their homecoming

game on Friday, Oct. 4. The Tro-

jans have lost two consecutivegames, 30-12 to Johannesburg-

Lewiston; and 22-18 to Mancelona.Rudyard slipped to 1-4, 1-2, with

the loss to Inland Lakes.

Speedy and shifty Daniel Flow-ers was the man of the night for

Inland Lakes against Rudyard ashe finished with 202 yards and two

touchdowns on 10 carries. Hescored on runs of 65 and 60 yards.

Trevor Mallory added 68 yards

on six carries for Inland Lakes,and quarterback Todd Athey fin-

ished with 48 yards, also on six at-

tempts. The Bulldogs finishedwith more than 300 yards rushing.

It was basically us getting the

ball to the outside, Schrammsaid. We felt like we had overall

team speed on them. They defi-nitely had the horses up front, but

we were a little quicker, a little

faster.The offensive line did a nice

job for not having all our horsesup there and being banged up. I

thought they stepped up prettynicely.

Schramm lauded the efforts of

his interior offensive line, whichcomprises Chase Bunker, Nick

Parker, Stanley Schramm, Blake

Grissum and Jake Brendly.We moved some pieces

around, coach Schramm said.

(Rudyard) had two kids who wentover 300 pounds and they moved

really well. Our offensive line dida nice job.

Mallory scored on a 41-yard run,

and Athey tossed a 12-yard TDpass to Spencer Hutchison.

Stanley Schramm led InlandLakes defense with 16 tackles,

while Mallory finished with 10and Athey and Flowers added

nine apiece. Bunker made an in-

terception on a ball tipped by Mal-lory.

CENTRAL LAKE This was aBIG one for Johannesburg-Lewis-

ton.The Cardinals had to travel to

the field of surging Central Lake

on Friday and battle the explo-sive Trojans in a game with

much riding on the outcome forboth sides. Both teams went into

the game with identical 2-2records and 1-1 in the Ski Valley

South. Both wanted badly to win

to move one step closer to a post-season berth, gain valuable play-

off points and remain incontention for the 2013 league

title.In the end, the Cardinals of

coach Joe Smokevitch turned in

a very impressive two-way per-formance in securing a 30-12 vic-

tory.This team reminds me a lot of

last year, said Smokevitch, refer-ring to how the Cardinals re-

bounded from a 1-2 start in 2012to advance ultimately to the D-8regional finals at Beal City. We

started off slow with the loss atTawas but the younger guys are

growing each week and the sen-iors are showing really good lead-

ership. Its taken a little while but

were finding our identity as a

team. Were playing pretty well

right now.

J-L (3-2, 2-1) has Homecomingthis Friday when U.P. rival Rud-

yard (1-4) comes to town. TheBulldogs, who are far better than

their record shows, are comingoff a tough 28-24 loss to Ski Val-

ley North foe Inland Lakes.

Rudyard is vastly improvedfrom last year; theyre big, tough

and physical up front, Smoke-vitch said. Theyre improving

every week just like we are. They

gave I-Lakes a tough game andwere expecting a tough one, too.

Thats what were preparing for.One thing Smokevitch likes is

that his team is playing with asense of urgency.

These kids know whats at

stake, he said. They know howimportant every game is and they

flat out dont want to lose.Rudyard will load the box most

of the time, putting seven playerswithin a yard of the line of

scrimmage, but thats nothingnew for J-L. Every defense theCardinals face lines up to stop

the grinding wing-T attack of theCards. That leaves the Bulldogs

vulnerable to the pass, however,and J-L signal caller Brandon

Huff is a missile launcher.

They have everybody and

their brother in the box to stop

the run, so well be passing

some, Smokevitch said. Bran-don had a g reat game throwing

the ball against Central Lake.They have to pick their poison.

In the win at Central Lake, thesuffocating Cardinal defense kept

the explosive Trojan playmakers

under wraps much of the timeand the of fense employed differ-

ent formations to create mis-matches.

Smokevitch lauded the play of

defensive ends Brad Kussrow anddangerous Dan Nieman, whom

he believes are the best tandem ofends in the league this year.

Streamin Nieman and Kussrowwouldnt allow speedy Trojan

backs Will Brockman and George

Thayer or shifty QB Ben Hicks toget around the edge on sweeps,

forcing them to run primarily be-tween the tackles. The pair com-

bined for 21 tackles in addition totwo tackles for loss and three

sacks during the game.Middle linebacker Andrew

Gross, a mobile 6-foot-2, 190-

pound junior who moved into theJohannesburg school district

from Kansas like a wind storm,covered the field like fertilizer

with fellow linebackers Logan

Huff, Brandon Huff and Cam

Nickert. The linebackers flushed

out the Trojan ball carriers and

flowed to the gaps. Gross scored asafety with a tackle in the end

zone and took part in 16 take-downs. Logan and Brandon Huff

put the halt to 14 and 12 plays, re-spectively, and the opportunistic

Nickert had two fumble recover-

ies to go with his nine takedowns.Smokevitch also noted the

fierce play of strong safety Coal-ton Huff, who runs down ball car-

riers like a predator and hits

with the force of a coal train.Coalton participated in a game-

high 20 tackles.On the other side of the ball,

Smokevitch decided to moveGross from his post at right

guard to the critical fullback slot.

Gross, who was starting in placeof hospitalized super-charged

starter Nick May, responded witha gritty effort, grinding out the

tough yardage up the gut on J-Lssignature fullback trap and

amassing a team-high 91 yards on13 carries with a 17-yard TDburst to his credit.

Slashing senior halfback DillonCushman crashed and cruised to

55 yards in 13 tries with a 10-yardTD and a conversion run while

elusive Ethan May maneuvered

to 59 yards in four carries and

Brandon Huff hammered out 44

yards on nine QB keepers with a

3-yard tally and a conversion run.When Brandon went to the air,

he hit on 3-of-7 for 43 yards, in-cluding 18 yards to Coalton Huff,

16 yards to Nickert and 9 yards toGross. There was also a dropped

touchdown pass in the end zone.

Lunch Truck Logan Huff,who alternated at fullback with

Gross, helped put away the bigtriumph with a powerful 14-yard

push to paydirt midway through

the third quarter to give J-L a 22-6advantage on the scoreboard.

Smokevitch also commendedthe play of the O-line featuring

Kussrow at center, Nate Fox andthe Vlasic Vacuum, Trevor Pick-

elmann, at guards and Kalin

Leonard and Dominic Vogt attackles. The Cardinals moved the

ball mostly in small increments,churning out long, methodical

drives, and the line was a majorcontributor, opening lanes for the

backs to blast through for typicalgains of 4-to-8 yards.

Brockman, a returning 1,000-

yard rusher for the Trojans,recorded 127 yards on 20 carries

with a 13-yard TD late in the sec-ond quarter. Thayer tallied on a 5-

yard off-tackle burst with 12

seconds left to play.

ONAWAY It was a workman-

like victory for the ground-and-pound Mancelona Ironmen of

coach Dan Boo Derrer on Fri-day at Onaway. The Ironmen did

what they do best, controlling the

clock with time-munching, chain-moving drives en route to an im-

pressive 28-7 victory over thedetermined Cardinals.

Mancelona improved to 3-2overall and 3-0 in the Ski Valley

South and pushed its league win-

ning streak to 24 while the hard-working Cardinals slipped to 1-4

and 1-2.The Ironmen churned up 347

yards worth of rushing real es-tate on 64 carries, averaging 5.4

yards per try.

That wasnt the whole story,though. The Iron Curtain de-

fense of the Ironmen also turnedin a suffocating, swarming per-

formance, limiting the speedy, ex-

plosive home team to just 55yards on the ground and 148

through the air.We played really good de-

fense, Derrer acknowledged.They have some really fast kids

and good athletes and we con-

tained them pretty well. We con-trolled the ball a lot of the time

and kept their offense off thefield. They only ran 35 plays in

the game.Onaway coach Jim Cleaver

liked how his troops played tough

and physical on defense, eventhough the Cardinals werent

able to prevent the visitors fromgrinding out long, methodical

drives.They were a really tough

team, Cleaver said. They pound

the ball when they run it. We alsohad 135 yards in penalties and

theyre just too good a team togive up that many yards in penal-

ties. They really took advantageof that.

The score doesnt reflect howhard our guys played on defense,he added. They worked really

hard on defense.The game was scoreless

through the first quarter andmuch of the second quarter. The

Ironmen finally got on the board

with 5:13 remaining in the firsthalf when high-stepping, hard-

striding senior Justin Spiresswept around end for a 4-yard

tally. Senior QB Jake Winsteadthen hit tight end Cody Derrer

for two points and an 8-0 advan-

tage.Mancelona scored twice more

in the third quarter to take a 20-0lead before Onaway answered

back with its lone TD of the

night, a pretty 16-yard aerialstrike from scrappy senior QB

Matt Tollini to glue-fingered Car-los Bautista. Bautista also booted

the PAT to trim the Mancy lead to20-7 with 10:39 left in the fourth

quarter.

The Ironmen finally sealed thevictory with 4:05 left with senior

fullback Logan Borst, whobashed, slashed and smashed his

way to a team-high 181 yards on21 carries, broke loose for a 23-

yard burst to paydirt. Shifty

Chase Wilcox found a seam andraced in for two points to make it

28-7 and thats how it remaineduntil the clock expired.

Boo commended the effort ofhis O-line, which tamed the

trenches through most of the

game. Tackles Tristan Watersand Brandon Willson, guards

Garrett Derrer and Nick Bal-horn, center Tristen Fleet and

tight ends Luke Smash MouthSmigielski and Cody Derrer cre-

ated seams for Borst, Spires,

Wilcox and Eric Wheeler to rum-ble through.

Onaway battled very hard, toits credit, and gave up yardage

grudgingly. The Ironmen contin-

ued to pound the ball and movethe chains, though, and that was

the difference in the outcome.Our line did a good job of

using their blocking rules andgetting the trap blocks and get-

ting out to their linebackers,Derrer said. They had 10 guys in

the box to stop the run so when

we were able to spring the full-back trap there were times when

Logan broke free for good yards.The hard-driving Borst also

scored on a 64-yard run in the

third quarter and Wheeler rolledto a 4-yard score in the same

quarter. Spires also surpassed thecentury mark in the game, accu-

mulating 102 yards in 24 tries.The shifty, tough Tollini faced

pressure in the pocket when hetried to throw the ball but stillcompleted 10-of-21 aerials for 148

yards. Bautista brought downfive of those for 92 yards.

Defensively for Mancelona,Smigielski continued his strong

play at inside linebacker, making

eight takedowns and interceptinga pass for the second straight

game. Cornerback Cole VanWag-oner flowed aggressively to the

ball and made five stops.Derrer was also happy with the

way defensive ends Tristan Wa-

ters and Eric Wheeler were ableto keep Tollini from squirting

outside and breaking contain,and he also noted the blue-collar

battling of lineman Sam Day.Defensively for Onaway, Chris

Cleaver and Bautista covered thefield like frost on a November

morning. They were all over the

place, making 21 tackles each.Tollini had 17 takedowns in the

game while Frank Ramos put thehalt to 13 plays and Joe Sigsby

made 10 stops. Tommy Auger hadeight tackles and a forced fumble,

Casey Watson put the whack

down seven times and the mush-room man Cody Morell scooped

up a fumble.Mancelona is at Pickford this

Friday for a key non-league clashwith the 4-1 Panthers.

Their quarterback is quick

and shifty and their fullback is ahard runner, Boo reported.

Theyre similar to us. They runa similar kind of offense and

they run their stuff well and fakewell. We have to be disciplined

and maintain our responsibilities

and not get sucked into their mis-direction plays.

Derrer acknowledged that its ahuge game for both sides.

Theres a lot of playoff points

riding on it and the winner

moves closer to six wins, hesaid. We know well get theirbest effort and we have to be

ready for it.The Cardinals travel to Pellston

for a non-league game on Friday.

The Hornets have struggled of-fensively in recent games, suffer-

ing back-to-back shutouts at thehands of Rudyard and Pickford.

Well definitely not be over-looking them, Cleaver said.

Weve got to come out to play

like we did in that St. Mary game.We told the boys, The big differ-

ence is when you come out toplay. We cant give up that many

yards in penalties and theyve gotto keep their heads.

Its time to polish up the

shotgun, round up the re-

triever and don the camou-

flage its the season for

hunting ducks and geese in

Michigan! Area wildlife

managers are beginning to

see a widespread move-

ment of waterfowl in the

state, and they predict a

good hunting season this

year.

Michigan is regionally

known for the great diver-

sity and the high quality of

its waterfowl hunting op-

portunities. Try a new lo-

cation for waterfowl

hunting this year, or visit

your tried and true spot.

A list of all state game

areas for trip planning can

be found on the DNRs

website

atwww.michigan.gov/hunting.

Michigan is unlike

other states in that water-

fowl hunters have a variety

of types of waterfowl hunt-

ing, from field-hunting

Canada geese, to hunting

puddle ducks and wood

ducks in marshes and

swamps, to hunting diving

ducks and sea ducks on big

water, said DNR Water-

fowl Specialist Barb Avers.

There arent many places

where you can get that

kind of diversity and not

have to drive very far to

find it!

The regular Canada

goose season is already

under way. Season dates

run from Sept. 11 Dec. 11

in the North Zone; Sept. 21-

29 and Oct. 5 Dec. 26 in

the Middle Zone; and Sep.

21-23, Oct. 12 Dec. 8 and

Dec. 28-29 in the South

Zone, except in designated

goose management units

(GMUs). Information

on goose seasons in

GMUs can be found on the

DNR websiteat www.michigan.gov/wa-

terfowl.

The late goose season in

the South Zone is Jan. 18

Feb. 15, 2014.

Duck seasons have been

split into two segments in

all three of state duck-

hunting zones this year.Duck hunting is has begun

in the North Zone and runsfrom Sept. 21 Nov. 10 and

Nov. 23 Dec. 1. In the Mid-

dle Zone, duck season isOct. 5 Dec. 1 and Dec. 14-

15, and in the South Zone,duck season is Oct. 12

Dec. 8 and Dec. 28-29.Waterfowl hunting regu-

lations and bag limits can

be found in the 2013-2014Michigan Waterfowl Hunt-

ing Digest. Digests areavailable at DNR Opera-

tion Service Centers,wildlife field offices and li-

cense agents or you canfind them on the web

at www.michigan.gov/dnrdigests.

The 2013-14 waterfowl

hunting season continuesthe celebration of the

Michigan WaterfowlLegacy (MWL). The MWL

is a 10-year, cooperativepartnership to restore, con-

serve and celebrate Michi-

gans waterfowl, wetlandsand waterfowl hunting

the game on the heels of a

42-14 drilling of previouslyunbeaten Ludington, and

Petoskey was coming offan opposite-side-of-the-

spectrum loss to T.C. West.

When they clashed atWestern Avenue Field,

they settled in for a goodold-fashioned dogfight, the

likes of which are com-mon in the long-running

series between the schools.

And both reverted, to a de-gree, to what has worked

so successfully for both inthe past: Defense and the

run game.The feature backs for

both teams, Cheboygans

Nik Bevier and PetoskeysChase Ledingham, worked

like plow horses. Bevier

finished with 104 yards on26 carries, and Ledingham

rolled up 110 on 20 at-tempts

Both teams moved theball rather effectively in

the middle of the field.Petoskey finished with 263

total yards and 13 first

downs, while the Chiefshad 208 yards and 15 first

downs.But five turnovers, four

of which came in the sec-ond half, made long sus-

tained drives a rarity.

Cheboygan interceptedPetoskey sophomore quar-

terback Evan Whitmorethree times, and the Chiefs

fumbled it away twice.The difference proved to

be the foot of Cheboygan

senior Austin Ginop, whobooted a 21-yard field goal

to cap the Chiefs openingdrive, a 17-play, 75-yarder

that ended less than twominutes into the second

quarter.

Both squads used high-light-reel pass plays to set

up the only touchdowns ofthe night, and they came

within a few seconds ofgame time late in the sec-

ond quarter.

The first came courtesyof Cheboygan when quar-

terback Luke Harringtonhit a leaping Nathan

Stempky on fourth-down-and-five from the Petoskey

17-yard line. Stempky held

on to the ball and camedown inside the Northmen

1. Bevier spun his wayacross the goal line on the

next play with just 35.5

seconds to play in the half.Ginops extra-point try

was wide, leaving theChiefs up, 9-0.

Nick Strobel returnedthe kickoff to Petoskeys

34 and, after a 14-yard gain

by Ledingham to the 48,Whitmore connected with

Ledingham for a 51-yardgain to the Cheboygan 1.

Ledingham scored on thenext play, cutting the

Northmen deficit to 9-6.

Nathaniel Reeds extra-point try was blocked by

Hunter Filice.Petoskeys last chance to

tie the game or go aheadwent by the wayside with

under 2:30 to play in the

game when, on fourth-and-5 from the Cheboygan 19,

Whitmores pass to the endzone for Ledingham was

broken up by Filice andChris Demeuse. Whitmore

found himself under

heavy pressure led by

Cheboygan linebackerTrent Jarman.

We told the kids before

the game that the teamthat wins this game is

going to make a big play

somewhere, VanOrmansaid. Thats what it comes

down to. In retrospect, youalways think you if wed

have done this, or if wedhave done that. Its foot-

ball. You learn from those

things.It was a typical physi-

cal Petoskey-Cheboyganget-after-it football game. I

thought our kids playedhard, and I felt that if we

could have put the ball inthe end zone in that sec-

ond half. That was the

only thing we were lack-ing, it wasnt the effort.

I thought, really, it wasan exciting football game

to watch.After the big fourth-

quarter stop, the Chiefs

fed the Northmen a steadydiet of Bevier. The 6-foot-3,

219-pound sophomore car-ried on four consecutive

plays for a total of 14yards, picking up a first

down in the process and

draining the remainingtime off the clock.

Harrington completed 6-of-15 passes for 57 yards,

while Whitmore was 4-of-9for 73. Harrington, Filice

and Ben Pearson each had

an interception for theChiefs, while Kurt

Boucher and GarretLundteigen each recov-

ered a fumble for theNorthmen. Boucher added

73 yards rushing on 17 at-

tempts.Coon lauded the efforts

of Pearson, along withthat defensive end Colton

Hudak, and Jarman.Ben and Colton and

Trent Jarman, who hap-

pen to be our captains Iwas very happy to see our

captains step up and leadby example, he said,

adding that both Pearson

and John Granter, the half-

backs on offense alongsideBevier, performed ad-mirably in blocking for the

hard-charging Bevier.Trent Jarman just played

an outstanding game and

he didnt play one down(in practice) all week until

game time. He had a badshoulder he injured

against Ludington. Heplayed over top of the pain

and just had a tremendous

game at linebacker for us.Really happy with the way

the kids gutted it out whenit was called for.

Coon, who is in his 26thseason at Cheboygan and

is a member of the Michi-

gan High School FootballCoaches Hall of Fame,

said he was humbled andhonored to have received

the coach of the weekhonor from the Lions.

The prestigious award

goes to just one coachweekly throughout the

season, and Cheboyganfootball program will re-

ceive $1,000 from theLions. The award, accord-

ing to the Lions website,

goes to one coach who de-velops his players charac-

ter, discipline, and footballskill in addition to empha-

sizing player health and

safety (the coach) willbe recognized for his com-

mitment to the team,school and community.

Coon, one of just nineprep coaches so honored

this season, was selected

by a panel of media whocover high school football.

For earning the weeklyhonor, Coon becomes a

candidate for the NFLteams coach of the year

award.

Im very honored andvery grateful for the recog-

nition, Coon said. Icoach football because I

love the concept of a teamsport. Usually the person

up front gets the recogni-

tion, but you cant do thiswithout great (assistant)

coaches and great kids anda great spouse (Erin) who

is extremely supportive ofeverything I do.

And those diehard or-

ange-and-black Chief fansbehind you making you

feel good when you go inthe grocery store. It makes

life here in Cheboyganworth living.

TRAVERSE CITY A tough startfor the Gaylord football team turned

out to be another tough defeat onSaturday afternoon under sunny

skies at Thirlby Field. The hard-bat-

tling Blue Devils of coach WillCleaver were down three touch-

downs to host Traverse City Centralin the first seven minutes of play

and fought the rest of the way to tryand climb out of the hole in a 35-14

loss.

The Blue Devils, who are playing

much better than the record shows,fell to 0-5 overall and 0-2 in BigNorth play while the Trojans im-

proved to 3-2 and 1-1 and kept theirplayoff hopes alive.

Central received the ball first to

start the game and responded withits only sustained scoring march,

scoring at the 9:03 mark when EthanCampbell went 5 yards off-tackle.

Jacob Gorters boot gave the Trojans

a 7-0 lead.Gaylord turned the ball over on its

first possession when the ball wasknocked free from a Blue Devil re-

ceiver. Central got the ball on Gay-lords 34-yard line and scored at the

6:57 mark when Drew Girard swept

left for 5 yards. Gorters kick made it14-0.

Gaylord got the ball back and wasforced to punt from its own end after

failing to get a first down. The puntwas blocked, however, and the Tro-

jans Anthony Kratovil recovered

the ball in the end zone. With 4:46still to play in the first quarter, Cen-

tral owned a commanding 21-0 leadand Gaylord had run just four offen-

sive plays.That was the bad news. The good

news was that the Blue Devils re-

fused to fold the tents. They battledback, played hard on every snap and

actually made a game of it in thesecond half.

The Trojans added another scorein the second quarter when QB

Shawn Williams tossed 14 yards to

Rhys Adle, enabling the home teamto take a 28-0 lead at intermission.

The Blue Devils moved the ballinto the red zone in the second quar-

ter but were unable to finish thedrive and put points on the board.

Thats something that has been

costly to Gaylord this season.There was no scoring in the third

quarter by either team, though theBlue Devils moved the ball into the

red zone a second time withoutreaching the end zone.

The Blue Devils finally did get on

the board with 5:12 left in the gamewhen hard-charging sophomore

Shane Foster fought off a would-betackler and forced his way across

the goal-line for a 5-yard tally. Brad

Byrne boomed the extra point and

Gaylord trailed 28-7.Junior signal caller Steven Fitzek

hooked up with streaking Leland

Huey for a key 31-yard gain to set up

the score.

On the ensuing kickoff, Byrnebrilliantly booted a mortar kick

and the Blue Devils recovered inCentral territory.

Fitzek, standing poised in the

pocket, then found reliable MattKempfer for a critical 35-yard pickup

to move the ball inside the 10-yardline. Foster did his freight train imi-

tation again to cap the short scoringmarch, plowing forward for a fierce

1-yard TD. Byrnes boot made the

score 28-14 with 3:45 still showing onthe clock.

Everybody and their brotherknew that an onside kick was com-

ing from Gaylord and Byrne onceagain did a fabulous job, putting the

ball where flying teammate Ty

Coonrod could pounce on it.Suddenly the Blue Devils had the

ball in Trojan territory again, downjust two touchdowns. At that point,

the Central coach took out all the re-serves and put the No. 1 defense

back on the field.The Blue Devils very nearly had

the ball inside the 5-yard line but the

gutsy Kempfer was drilled by a Tro-

jan defender who managed to pre-vent the catch from taking place.

The Gaylord defense held firm onCentrals ensuing possession and

the Blue Devils got the ball back onelast time and moved once again onto

Trojan turf. The home team sealed

the win, though, when Alex Liggettreturned an interception 70 yards

with 1:40 remaining.Cleaver was pleased with how his

players refused to quit after fallingbehind early in the game and he was

pleased the way the defense re-

sponded, keeping the Trojan offense

off the scoreboard through the en-tire second half.Cleaver noted the tough, gritty

play of Lance Chapman, who wasmaking his first appearance at in-

side linebacker, and senior defensive

end Zach Hayner, who penetratedinto the Trojan backfield like he was

launched from a cannon and madeseveral hits behind the line of

scrimmage.Huey also had a solid game for the

Blue Devils. His 31-yard reception

set up the first score and he alsomade an interception from his

safety post.Fosters flying feet accounted for

64 rugged yards in 17 attempts.Fitzek, who is developing into a dual

threat running and throwing the

ball, churned out a net 65 yards in 18tries, though he was also caught for

19 yards in losses on passing plays.Fitzek also fired completions on

15-of-33 aerials for 199 yards, includ-ing the key 31-yard hook-up with

Huey to set up the first score and the

35-yard connection with Kempfer toset up the second score.

Junior Collin Watters had a stronggame at receiver as well, bringing in

four catches for 64 yards, including a

19-yard pickup, and rawhide-toughtight end Zach Pasternak pulled

down four grabs for 47 yards, includ-ing a 22-yard gainer.

Cleaver also commended Byrnefor his outstanding mortar kick and

onside kick in the fourth quarter

and for his booming kickoffs.Cadillac comes to town this Fri-

day, Oct. 4. The Vikings of coach JimWebb are flying high with a 5-0 mark

and have one of the most explosiveplaymakers in the region in senior

QB Jalen Brooks, a legitimate D-1

prospect.We have to keep the ball out of

his hands as much as possible andtry to contain him and keep him

from scoring on explosive plays,Cleaver said. Offensively, we want

to control the ball as much as we can

to keep their offense off the field.When we have opportunities to

score, we need to capitalize.Cleaver knows it will be a tough

challenge for his team.I wont skirt around it, he said.

Theyre a very good team andtheyre vying for a conference cham-pionship. We have a huge challenge

on our hands.

GAYLORD Traverse

City West showed onceagain why it is one of the

strongest teams in the BigNorth this season, dis-

patching hardworking

Gaylord in three games onTuesday, Sept. 24.

T.C. West is a very goodteam, said Gaylord coach

Trista Sitz. Despite whatthe score said throughout

the match, I never once

saw the girls give up oreven look down. They con-

tinued to fight and did notgive up. They have grown

so much as a team and asathletes.

Versatile Dakota Pelach

delivered once again atthe net, at the service

stripe and as a setter inthe match, generating

team-high totals of sixkills and six assists and

also serving with 100 per-

cent efficiency.Hard-swinging Sydney

Kassuba struck for fourkills and a pair of sizzling

aces. Delaney Eckstein

served up two aces andthree kills and long-armed

Brooke Stier also bustedthree with a block. Casey

Korte also recorded ablock.

Kaylynn Stout served

100 percent and was a toppasser for the Blue Devils.

Cassie Kolka and Pelachserved up the bullets for

the artillery up front, eachamassing six assists, and

Brandi Wagner also had

three.Lindsey Zaremba and

Wagner notched six digsand five, respectively.

Volleyball

HILLMAN The host HillmanTigers did all they could to keep

their visiting North Star Leaguerival, the Mio Thunderbolts, within

striking distance in the first half ofthe North Star Division varsity foot-

ball clash Friday, Sept. 27.

But, while holding onto a narrow21-20 lead at the half, Mio (4-1 over-

all, 2-0 conference) scored 13 pointsin both the final two quarters of play

to pull away for a dominating 47-26conference victory on the road. The

effort included limiting host Hill-

man (3-2 overall, 2-1 conference) tojust 6 second-half points.

Mios senior quarterback, Brad

Rhoads, apparently loved the trip toHillman, completing 18-of-32 pass at-tempts for 350 yards and 4 touch-

downs. The only glitch in Rhoads

performance was 3 interceptions,though he was also 3-for-3 on PAT

kicks.But, Bryson Devers might have

had an even more impressive gamefor the Thunderbolts. The senior

rushed 155 yards on 12 carries, in-cluding 2 scores, and also caught 4
