GAYLORD Old rivals, a
lot of familiarity, and plentyof new.
Gaylord and Cheboygankicked off the 2013 highschool football season a
week ago, and there were
plenty of highlights, plentyto be excited about. And,plenty to work on.
The game marked thereturn of coach Will Cleaverto the Blue Devil sideline
after a five-year hiatus.The Chiefs unveiled a new
offense for the first time indecades. And, as is alwaysthe case on opening night,
several potential starsemerged.
Now, both teams lookahead under the old adagethat a football team makesits greatest strides in
improvement between itsopener and its second game.
For the Chiefs, 19-13 win-ners over the Blue Devils, itson to Marquette, where they
will see a steadily improving
program that opened with a31-23 non-league win overTraverse City Central.
For the Blue Devils, whowere a combined 3-33 overthe previous four seasons,
its a trip to perennial-powerTraverse City St. Francis. But
with a renewed vigor andoutlook that things are head-ed in the right direction with
Cleaver back in charge, anda slew of young and talentedplayers on the roster.
In the short term, bothCleaver and his Cheboygancounterpart, Jack Coon,
know there is plenty to shoreup before they put their
respective squads back on
the field on Friday.The big thing is we
learned some things bothcoaching-wise and player-
wise, Cleaver said in reflect-ing on the loss to the Chiefs.
You could obviously seethat weve got some players.Cotton Neff and ShaneFoster are exciting to watch.
We have some big boysup front and we have, defen-
sively, coverage-wise, werepretty salty as far as coveringthe pass and that kind ofthing.
Cleaver added, The fact
that we have some players isexciting going forward.Theres a lot of kids who areplaying who are younger. Imencouraged by that. I thinkthat the struggle we have is
we need to learn how to fin-ish, and I think it was veryobvious that we dont knowhow to do that yet.
Neff, a junior, rushed for194 yards and a touchdown
against the Chiefs, whileFoster, a sophomore, added99 on just eight attempts.
In all, Gaylord finishedwith 409 yards in totaloffense and 19 first downs,
and Neff ran 8 yards for atouchdown on the gamesopening drive.
But the Blue Devils twiceturned the ball over deep in
Cheboygan territory, andthey surrendered a pair ofhuge scoring plays, bothcourtesy of Ben Pearson.
And while Coon and hiscoaching staff have their
own issues to deal with asthey prepped for Marquette,
the vibe, understandably,
was more upbeat after an
opening-night road victory.
Winning, after all, will do
that.
Id say we were pleasantlysurprised, said Coon, who
took the wraps off a new
offense in which Chief quar-
terback Luke Harrington
operated from the shotgun
and, in most cases, spread
several receivers across theline of scrimmage in stark
contrast to Cheboygans
longtime bread-and-butter
wing-T offense. We had no
turnovers, very few penal-ties, no (illegal) procedures,
no misalignments.
Those are the things that
we looked at that really
stood out, that left us with a
real pleasant smile on ourfaces.
That said, Coon, in his
26th year as Cheboygans
coach, knows better than to
paint a completely rosy pic-
ture. Theres a lot of footballleft, and one game win or
lose does not a seasonmake.
The new offense, we did-
nt get as much productivity
as we wanted, he said.Were going to go through
some growing pains. We
know what we want, our kids
know what we want, and
well get there.
Cheboygan got plentyfrom Pearson, a senior who
matched the speedy and
slashing Neff in highlight
reel plays.
Pearson finished with 163
yards rushing on just seven
attempts, caught five passesfor 47 yards, and returned a
punt 70 yards for a touch-down.
Pearsons electrifying punt
return late in the first quar-
ter knotted it at 7-7.Cheboygan seized a 13-7
lead when DJ Sayers bulled
in from 4 yards out midway
through the second quarter.
Barely two minutes later,
Gaylord punter Brad Byrnepinned the Chiefs on their
own 1-yard line with a 41-
yard punt. But Pearson
swung momentum back to
the Chiefs when, on the very
next play, he bolted 99 yardsuntouched for a TD to make
it 19-7.
Down two scores at thebreak, Gaylord responded in
the second half, and moved
the ball effectively. But two
critical turnovers cost the
Blue Devils dearly.Gaylord drove to the
Cheboygan 6-yard line on itsfirst second-half possession,but Cheboygans Harringtonintercepted Blue Devil quar-
terback Steven Fitzek to endthe threat.
Again, the Blue Devilscame back. This time on aFoster 74-yard TD run dur-ing which the hard-charging
sophomore broke severaltackles. That left it 19-13
with just over four minutesleft in the third.
Gaylord then went on a
13-play march from its own17-yard line to Cheboygans13. On first down, the BlueDevils fumbled andCheboygans Hunter Filicepounced on the loose ball,
giving the Chiefs possessionat their own 8 with morethan 8 minutes remaining.
The Blue Devils neverthreatened again.
The one thing that really
made me feel good aboutour team is I didnt sense anypanic out there, Coon said.At times they were movingthe ball, and I still felt confi-dent in the defense. We got a
good hit and good tackle
and when that ball cameout, there were four whiteshirts getting after it. Youpursue to the ball and greatthings are going to happen.
Those things are tellingsigns of the capabilities andthe character of your team.
The two turnovers, Cleaversaid, were telling of where
his Blue Devils are at thispoint in time. He added thatthere were also several pass-drops and penalties onethat negated a touchdown that haunted his team.
You cant be successful
and do that, he said. Whenyou get the opportunity topin it on them, youve got todo it, youve got to seal thedeal.
Just being able to finish
people off like that I think iscritical. It goes back to kindof what Ive said over thepast few weeks, our kids arelearning how to win. Theresa lot to winning. You dont
just walk out on the field andwin. Theres things behindall of that that help you winand part of that is being con-sistent and playing a full
four quarters and havingthat sense of urgency to putthe ball in the end zone.
You cant (make big mis-
takes) and win ball games,
especially with as tough aschedule as we have. Its notlike we have a pushoverschedule.
Neither team does.After the Chiefs go to
Marquette, they play host toEscanaba in their homeopener. The Blue Devils willplay host to Standish-Sterling, a playoff team a
year ago, after their trip to
Traverse City, then entertainWest Branch OgemawHeights, which also madethe playoffs a year ago,advancing to a regional
championship game. Report by Buckland Media.

HILLMAN Wow!! What a
game.
The Kevin OConnell Era at
St. Mary got started on a very
exciting note but unfortu-
nately for the Snowbirds it
wasnt a winning note. St.
Mary lost a heart-pounding
thriller 55-54 at the field of
Hillman on Thursday, Aug.
29.
The game betweenHillman, which has made the
playoffs five of the past six
seasons and hasnt had a los-
ing record since 2005, and
the Snowbirds, who were
coming off a winless season
in 2012, turned out to be a
showcase for the playmakers
on both sides.
And St. Mary senior Nick
Harrington was the chief
playmaker.
Harrington made his varsi-
ty debut at quarterback and
simply scorched the Tiger
defense. Hillman could do
nothing to stop Harrington,
who was a human hurricane
with the ball in his hands,
wreaking havoc on the Tigers
virtually every time hetouched the ball.
Harrington slashed,
smashed, crashed and
dashed 27 times for a whop-
ping 363 yards worth of rush-
ing real estate and four
touchdowns in the contest
and he also hit on 9-of-21
aerials for another 178 yards
and four more touchdowns.
It was one of the most p ro-
lific games ever recorded
among prep teams in
Michigan in terms of com-
bined yardage.
And yet it still wasnt
enough to get the win on a
night when Hillman also
flexed its offensive muscles
and made plays at critical
junctures. The Tigers ralliedfrom a 54-48 deficit to over-
take St. Mary in the final min-
utes.
OConnell could certainly
take solace from the fact that
his team was a huge under-
dog heading to Hillman and
very nearly pulled out a vic-
tory but the Snowbird coach
would much rather have pre-
ferred the W.
It hurts so bad, it really
does, OConnell said in a
phone interview on Sunday
evening. There were a lot of
positives we can take away
from the game but we made
so many mistakes defensive-
ly. I give Hillman credit for
making plays when they had
to but we helped them out by
being out of position too
many times. We got whistled
for being off-side six times
and thats inexcusable.
The bottom line is we
were not disciplined enough
and not physical enough. We
have got to get better defen-
sively to achieve our goals
this season. Theres no way
around that.
On the other side the ball,Harringtons game was
something extraordinary.
The speedy seniors
exploits may have caught the
Tigers by surprise and even
some of the Snowbird faith-
ful. OConnell wasnt a bit
surprised, however.
Harrington is a very
tough, very smart football
player, OConnell said. He
wants the ball in his hands
and as a coach youre really
comfortable knowing heres a
kid who makes great reads
and can run and pass.
He made great reads all
night long against Hillmanand they werent able to do
anything to stop him. The
offense clicked. The runners
were running, the receivers
were catchi ng and
Harrington was wearing his
Superman cape.
Harrington split the
defense with a perfectly
thrown missile that Jack
Lochinski hauled in for a
sudden 57-yard TD strike
midway through the fourth
quarter to give the Snowbirds
the lead.
Hillman responded late in
the game, though, when
Kenny Kulcan broke free and
raced 73 yards for what
would prove to be the win-
ning touchdown in the see-
saw battle.
The Snowbirds attempted
a final comeback but
Harringtons last pass of the
game was intercepted with
46 seconds to go. Harrington
kept the final drive alive tem-
porarily with a 24-yard scam-
per on fourth down but the
Tigers safety Dylan Ross
made a critical play for the
Hillman defense on a night
when the defense struggled
mightily.
Harrington also hooked up
with Lochinski for a 45-yardTD on the first play from
scrimmage and he found
rangy senior Charles Strehl
for TD strikes of 15 and 22
yards in the game. Lochinski
had three grabs for 109 yards
to lead the way. Strehl pulled
down three for 47 yards and
senior Anders Marquard had
three catches out of the back-
field for 21 yards.
Among Harringtons four
gallops to the end zone were
runs of 43, 72 and 34 yards in
the second half.
Fullback Carmen Juneac
also had a productive game
for the Snowbirds, plowing
and propelling himself for-
ward for 60 yards on 15 tries.
OConnell noted the strong
play of the front line featur-
ing Geoff Wind, Cole Loffer,
Brendan Nowicki, Willie
Canfield and Kyle Koski.
OConnell was also pleased
with the downfield stalk
blocking of Strehl.
One of the few bright spots
defensively for the Snowbirds
was the play of cornerback
Adam Nowicki and defensive
backs Marquard and
Harrington, who made a ton
of tackles between them.
Kulcan gained 181 yards
rushing for the Tigers and QB
Tyler Jones passed for 179
yards and three TDs.
Next up for St. Mary is a
rugged road date with
Pellston on Friday, Sept. 6.
The Hornets are big and
aphysical up front and they
like to line it up and run the
ball down their opponents
throats. They are coming off
a hard-fought 28-20 victoryover visiting Forest Area.
Pellston employs a varia-
tion of the wing-T.
They run power, they run
toss, they pull the guard and
pull the tackle, OConnell
said. Thats what they do
and theyre good at it. Theyre
big, strong and physical.
We have to match them
physically and be disci-
plined, he added. We have
to much tougher and more
disciplined that we were with
Hillman.
Pellstons first prioritydefensively will be to some-
how corral Harrington the
human hurricane.
Fortunately, the Snowbirds
are not one-dimensional. If
Harrington draws a group of
Hornet defenders like a mag-
net on every snap, it could
open the doors for tailback
Marquard and fullback
Juneac to have big nights tot-
ing the ball.

suffers heartbreaking 55-54 loss inOConnell debut

mate Charles Strehl (14) provides an escort.

MIO The Mio
Thunderbolts will have to
regroup as they prepare
week No. 2 of the high
school varsity football
season, after a crushing
66-12 loss to the visiting
W h i t t e m o r e - P r e s c o t t
Cardinals on Thursday,
Aug. 29.
The Thunderbolts (0-1
overall) were too kind in
hosting the Cardinals in
the season-opener for
both teams, as W-P (1-0
overall) was allowed to
jump out to a 50-6 lead at
the half.
The visiting Cardinals
rolled, finding the end
zone early and often
against Mio, scoring 22
points in the first quarter
and then 28 points in the
second. That was followed
by another 16 points in
the third quarter.
Quarterback Brad
Rhoads provided a couple
of highlights for the home
fans last Thursday, com-
pleting 13-of-27 passing
attempts for 223 yards.
That included a pair of
throws accounting for the
Thunderbolts two touch-
downs one in the second
stanza and another in the
fourth quarter.
Unfortunately, Rhoads
also had 2 interceptions in
the loss and rushed 13
times for a negative 35
yards.
Bryson Devers was Mios
leading rusher with just 8
yards on 7 carries. Ryan
Ellul had 2 yards on 3
rushes.
Another bright spot for
the Thunderbolts was Colt
McGregor, who caught 6
passes for 101 yards and a
TD. Devers also had a
good night catching the
ball, with 4 receptions for
64 yards and Mios other
score.
Aaron Georgi eff and
Brian Watson each had 1
catch for Mio for 21 and 14
yards, respectively.
While maybe struggling
to run the ball, Ellul had a
solid night on defense,
leading Mio with 10 tack-
les, including 7 solo hits.
Devers had 8 tackles, with
4 solo hits, and Zac Price
had one 1 solo tackle and
a fumble recovery.
Other defensive players
for Mio included: Seth
Thomey (4 tackles, includ-
ing 2 solo), Iron Galer (4
tackles, 2 solo), Watson (4
tackles, 1 solo), Josh Fox (3
solo tackles) and Scott
Blamer (3 tackles, 2 solo).
Five other Thunderbolts
had at least 1 tackle versus
W-P.
Devers also starred on
special teams, where he
had a team-best 96 yards
on 5 kick returns, with a
long of 22 yards. Watson
returned 2 kicks for 35
yards, while Thomey also
returned a pair of kicks for
26 yards.
Georgieff punted four
times for Mio for 125
yards. His longest punt on
the night was 40 yards, as
he posted a 31.25 yard
average.
Mio will get a chance to
rebound on its home field
Friday, Sept. 6, when the
Thunderbolts host Tawas
Area. The game is slated to
begin at 7 p.m. Report by Buckland Media.
PETOSKEY -- With a
rugged schedule ahead and
so many question marks, a
good start was imperative for
the Petoskey High School
football team.
Coach Kerry VanOrman
got exactly what he needed
from his Northmen on open-
ing night.
Senior Chase Ledingham
finished with 174 yards in
rushing and receiving and
scored all three touchdowns
as the Northmen defeated
Sault Ste. Marie, 23-7, Friday
in a non-league game at
Curtis Field.
It marked the sixth consec-
utive year that Petoskey has
opened with a victory, and it
extended Petoskeys win
streak over the Blue Devils to
six games.
I was happy with the
effort the kids played with,
said VanOrman, who is in his
11th year at Petoskey. We
made a lot of mistakes but
theyre correctable mistakes.
Weve got a lot of holes to fill
up front. Our offensive line, it
was a good test for us to see
where were at. You never
know how theyre going to
react until theyre put in that
situation. Obviously, we have
a lot of work to do there. But I
was really pleased with effort
of the kids.
And the Northmen will
have a lot of growing up to do
and quickly as they tackle
a tough-as-nails schedule,
including a non-league
home date with Hastings on
Friday, Sept. 6. The Saxons
dropped their opener, 38-34,
to West Branch Ogemaw
Heights, a team Petoskey will
face later this season in the
Big North Conference.
Theyre very, very good,
VanOrman said of the
Saxons, who play in the Gold
Division of the Grand
Rapids-area OK Conference,
and have made the playoffs
in each of the past four sea-
sons. They move the ball.
Theyre just real disciplined
and they run that wing-T
really well.
For us, were going to have
to be really disciplined.
Definitely you cant get
caught looking at the ball
because youll never see it.
Its going to be a tough foot-
ball game on Friday. Were
really going to have to play
well. Weve got to be better at
the line of scrimmage
because if were not it could
be a long night.
The Northmen were not
picture-perfect against the
Sault, a team that finished 6-
4 a year ago and made the
playoffs. But they were plenty
good enough, sprinkling in a
few timely pass plays with
their bread-and-butter ball-
control double-wing offense.
And, when Petoskey need-
ed it, its defense came up big,
forcing three turnovers, two
of which came as the Blue
Devils threatened deep in
Northmen territory.
Sophomore Evan
Whitmore made his varsity
debut at quarterback for
Petoskey, and completed all
three of his pass attempts for
60 yards and a touchdown.
I thought that kid was
outstanding for his first
game, VanOrman said. He
made some great decisions. I
was real, real pleased with his
decision-making.
Whitmores first varsity
pass was a 16-yard scoring
strike to Ledingham to cap
the games opening drive.
Ledingham finished with 120
yards rushin g on 20
attempts, and caught two
passes for 54 yards.
His 4-yard TD run with
under five minutes left in the
half upped Petoskeys lead to
13-0.
The Sault answered when
Raynell Anderson scored
from 3 yards out with 2 min-
utes, 23 seconds left in the
half, cutting Petoskeys lead
to 13-7. Anderson finished
with 113 yards on 15 carries.Then, Petoskeys defense
came up with a game-chang-
ing play after the Blue Devils
opened the third quarter
with an 11-play drive from
their own 35-yard line to
Petoskeys 5. On fourth-and-
two, Sault quarterback
Michael James rolled out to
his left and his pass to the
goal line was deflected and
intercepted by Shea
Whitmore, who returned it to
the 3.
If they score there, man,
its a whole different ball
game, VanOrman said. The
defense played really well.They bent, but they didnt
break.
It was one of three Sault
turnovers in the game.
Steven Snider also had an
interception, and Jimmy
Wilson recovered a Blue
Devil fumble. Sniders pick
ended a Sault drive at the
Northmen 16-yard line in the
first half.
After Shea Whitmores
timely interception, Petoskey
drove 97 yards and chewed
up more than 6 minutes ofgame time as Ledingham
capped the drive with a 1-
yard TD plunge.
The key play of the drive
came when Evan Whitmore
and Ledingham connected
on a 38-yard pass play to the
Northmen 45 to give
Petoskey some breathing
room.
That deep pass to
Ledingham, that was a big-
time throw at that time in the
football game, VanOrman
said.
Nathaniel Reed, another
sophomore, later tacked on a
27-yard field goal for the finalmargin.
Whitmores performa nce,
and that of the entire team, is
a confidence boost,
VanOrman said, as the
Northmen embark on what
is, once again, a difficult
schedule. After playing host
to Hastings, the Northmen go
on the road for their Big
North Conference opener
against Cadillac.
That begins a three-week
stretch of road games that
includes trips to Traverse CityWest and Cheboygan. In last
weeks openers, Cadillac
defeated Lansing Eastern,
43-25; West fell to Midland,
16-0; and Cheboygan defeat-
ed vastly improved Gaylord,
19-13.
Anytime you can win that
first game confidence just
automatically is injected into
your kids, VanOrman said.
Thats why that first game is
so important. It kind of sets
the tone. There are so many
unanswered questions going
into the first game, for every-
one. Thats the biggest con-
cern you have is how youregoing to respond when it
doesnt go well, how are you
going to respond when you
get stuffed, because its going
to happen.Reported by Buckland Media

Solid start for opportunistic NorthmenFootball
By Bob Gingerich
The Second Annual ForestDunes Rivalry Cup golf outing
between Grayling and
Roscommon netted more than
$3,700 for the two schools ath-
letic departments on
Wednesday, Aug. 21.
Sponsored by Forest Dunes
Golf Club, the event pitted
teams representing rival high
schools Grayling and
Roscommon against each
other in a four-person golf
scramble the week before the
annual season-opening foot-
ball game. The cumulative golf
scores were tallied and
Roscommon won the compe-
tition by six strokes, entitling
the Bucks to 55 percent of theproceeds while the Grayling
Vikings were awarded 45 per-
cent. During halftime of the
football game on Thursday,
August 29, Forest Dunes gen-
eral manager Todd Campbell
presented checks to represen-
tatives of both schools.
Roscommon received $2,043
while Grayling received $1,671.
Each outing participant
received a Forest Dunes hat in
his/her respective school col-
ors. School fight songs were
played as part of an opening
ceremony and the Bucky Buck
and Victor Viking mascots also
were on hand to support their
teams.
This event provides an
opportunity for community
members to show their com-

ELK RAPIDS The
Mancelona JV squad got the
2013 gridiron season off to an
auspicious start with a 44-12
trouncing of host Elk Rapids
on Wednesday, Aug. 28.
The young Ironmen of
coach Doug Derrer delivered
the goods early, posting a 28-
0 lead in the first quarter en
route to a commanding 36-6
lead at the half. The host Elks
were struck by Ty-Fu Fever, a
malady that afflicts defenses
that try to contain the flying
feet of Tyler Fults.
The fast-and-furious Fults
fueled the first-quarter
explosion of points with a
pair of TD bursts, one long
and one short. Fults fired out
from his wingback post like
he was shot from a high-
water hose and flew past
everyone on his way to a sud-
den 61-yard gallop to the end
zone to open the scoring in
the game and the season.
Fults then added to the
lead a little while later with a
5-yard power push off-tackle,
giving the young Ironmen a
12-0 lead at the 4:36 mark of
the opening quarter.
Quarterback Dylan Derrer
didnt go the air often but he
was effective when he did.
Dylan wasnt just blowin in
the wind when he sent an air-
mail express to the fleeting
figure of Logan Shorts for a
32-yard tally. Fults threw an
option pass to wide open
Chris Nielson for two points
and the lead was 20-0.
Nielson scored on the final
play of the eventful first
quarter and then caught the
conversion toss from Derrer
to make it a 28-0 lead.
Brendan Morris muscled
his way to paydirt from 3
yards in the second quarter
and relentless Tristan
Richardson put up two
points on behalf of the Iron
Curtain defense with a sack
of the Elks QB in the end
zone.
Nielson completed the
scoring for Mancelona with a
9-yard spurt in the third
quarter.
Fults, the Ty-Fu Flier, fin-
ished with 98 yards on eight
carries while Nielson navi-
gated to 44 yards in 12 tries
and Morris made 10 yards in
two tries. Ten different
Mancy runners amassed a
whopping 223 yards of real
estate in the contest.
Derrer delivered on 5-of-7
aerials for 55 yards with a TD
and a conversion toss.
Short had the longest pass
reception of the game with
his 32-yard TD catch. Nielson
grabbed three aerials for 9
yards while C.J. Short made
one catch for 9 yards and
Nick Biehl pulled in one for 8
yards.The relentless Richardson
rocked, rolled and rammed
his way to a team-high eight
tackles on the night with the
safety. Fults and C.J. Short
both struck for six stops and
Short also made a fumble
recovery. Nielson recorded
five tackles with an intercep-
tion and Biehl was the real
deal in the secondary, also
making an interception.
Young Ironmen corral Elks, 44-12
By Mike Dunn
MANCELONA It was a
rough way to start what long-
time Mancelona head coach
Dan Boo Derrer believes
can still be a highly produc-
tive season.
Derrer wasnt disappointed
so much that his Ironmen
lost to bigger, faster Class B
foe Elk Rapids on the home
field on Thursday, Aug. 29,
but the way in which his
team lost got under the
coachs skin.
Elk Rapids was better
than we were and they
deserved to win but we
played our worst game in I
dont know how long, Derrer
said. Not to take anything
away from them because
they earned what they got.
But we just didnt show up.
They came ready to play and
we didnt.
Derrer hopes the 35-0 loss
to the Elks serves as a wake-
up call for the Ironmen, who
have another very tough
game at home this Friday,
Sept. 6, against Ski Valley
North defending champion
St. Ignace.
We cant just think were
gonna show up and win, he
said. We have to be prepared
to play hard against every-
body we face.
It wont get any easier for
us this week, he added. St.
Ignace is coming to town and
they have a very good foot-
ball team. They lost their
opener (to Charlevoix) and
theyre gonna come in want-
ing to win just as much as we
are. Neither side wants to
start 0-2. We have to play a
heckuva lot better than we
did against Elk Rapids if we
expect to do anything.
Mancelona brought a 26-
game regular-season win-
ning streak into the Elk
Rapids game, including the
previous two games against
the Elks. The Ironmen lost for
the first time in the regular
season since a 39-0 loss to
the Elks on August 27, 2010.
That year, the Ironmen
rebounded to win the next
eight games in a row and
then the first game of the
playoffs at home against
Norway. Boo is hoping his
team will respond in a similar
way in 2013.
Senior fullback Logan
Borst busted and bulled his
way to a team-high 86 yards
rushing in 17 carries against
Elk Rapids. Borst was the
only ball carrier to have any
kind of success at all against
the speedy Elks, who posi-
tioned themselves well and
filled the lanes effectively.
Without the threat of the
play-action pass to keep the
defense honest, senior QB
Jake Winstead was unable to
generate anything through
the air.
We couldnt move the
ball, Derrer said. We have
to come off the ball better
and block the right people.
On the defensive side, jun-
ior linebacker Nick Balhorn
led the way with six tackles.
Fellow linebacker Luke
Smigielski, safety Jake Allen
and linemen Sam Day and
Keegan Richardson each had
four stops.
One thing Mancelona will
need to do defensively
against St. Ignace that it was
not able to do against the
Elks is stop the big play.
Elk Rapids QB Adam
Troutman connected on TD
strikes of 54 and 44 yards to
Rob Wolfington and also tal-
lied on a 4-yard run to fuel
the Elks offensively. Thais
Grays also had a 54-yard TD
gallop and Logan Sentieri
broke free on an 83-yard run
to the end zone.
We cant give up the big
plays against St. Ignace the
way we did agains t Elk
Rapids, Derrer said. St.
Ignace could easily have won
their game with Charlevoix.
They shot themselves in the
foot different times and we
cant depend on that hap-
pening against us. We have to
go out and play with more
urgency, go out and make
things happen.
Boo reported that St.
Ignace has a talented QB
with some speed at the skill
positions.
Theyre a solid, well-
rounded, well-coached
team, he said. They run the
ball most of the time but they
mix it up, too. We have to
stop the run and play funda-
mental football. We cant
afford to give up the big
plays.
St. Ignace runs a 5-2 defen-
sive scheme and the Saints
are aggressive.
Theyre gonna come at us
and we have to be ready for
it, Derrer said. We have to
come off the ball better and
make our blocks.

GRAYLING It didnt take
long for the Grayling varsity
football team to show its fans
that another trip to the stateplayoffs could be in the
future, after a dominating 31-
6 win over neighboring non-
conference rival Roscommon
on Thursday, Aug. 29.
The host Vikings (1-0 over-
all) forced seven turnovers in
the contest, as the defense
helped set up Graylings
offense attack.
The defense even put
points on the board. Senior
defensive back Kevin Harris
had three interceptions on
the night, including return-
ing one 46 yards for a touch-
down.
That wasnt all for Harris,
who also starred on special
teams, with a perfect 4-for-4
on kicking extra points andbooting a 41-yard field goal.
Not to mention, he was the
teams leading rusher with 41
yards on three carries and
caught two passes from
Swander for 6 yards.
We were very happy with
our special teams, said
Grayling head coach Tim
Sanchez. That was a point of
emphasis this summer.
We also emphasized cre-
ating turnovers, and we
forced seven of them.
Offensively, despite the
final score, Sanchez said his
team wasnt exactly on top of
its game.
Senior quarterback Jake
Swander threw three inter-
ceptions, while completing
17-of-41 attempts for 209
yards and one touchdown.
That score was a 24-yard
connection with senior
receiver Tyler McClanahan,
who caught eight balls for
132 yards.
Swander also rushed three
times for 8 yards, including
running in a 1-yard TD.
Our kids played really
hard, but we were not sharp
on offense, Sanchez added.
I take full responsibility for
that, and we will fix it in time
for our next game.
Other offensive performers
for the Vikings last Thursday
included: Michael Branch (8
carries, 32 yards; and 1 recep-
tion, 12 yards), Nick Petrie (5
carries, 15 yards and a 5-yard
TD run), Scout Tobin (3 car-
ries, 19 yards; and 2 recep-
tions, 5 yards), Justin
Conforti (4 carries, 6 yards),
Brandon Latusek (3 recep-
tions, 46 yards), and Dylan
Wyman (1 reception , 8
yards).
After topping Roscommon(0-1 overall), the Vikings will
travel to play another Jack
Pine Conference foe in
Houghton Lake on Friday,
Sept. 6. Kickoff is slated for 7
p.m.
Report by Buckland Media.
Grayling's Kevin Harris (No. 4) runs for positive yardage in the Vikings varsity
season-opener against visiting Roscommon on Thursday, Aug. 29. Harris had an
impressive night for the Vikes, with three interceptions, including returning one 46
yards for a touchdown, a perfect 4-for-4 performance on kicking extra points and
booting a 41-yard field goal. Not to mention, he was the teams leading rusher
with 41 yards on three carries and caught two passes for 6 yards.
The Vikings senior quarterback, Jake Swander (No. 8), dives across the goal line
for Graylings third TD of the night versus Roscommon, helping the host Vikes to
a dominating 31-6 non-conference victory.

INDIAN RIVER -- A goodomen for Inland Lakes?
Could very well be.The last time the Bulldogs
won their season- opener,2009, they went to the play-offs.
On Friday, they got atouchdown from quarter-back Todd Athey on a quar-terback sneak with just overfour minutes to play indowning Onaway, 14-7, intheir 2013 opener at ShanleyField.
Our boys are pretty confi-dent, said fifth-year InlandLakes coach Stan Schramm.Were confident in them as acoaching staff. Weve got a lotof things we need to work atand the boys realize that too.
To get the first win underour belt takes the pressureoff. It wont make or break
your season, but it sure isnice to get that first one. Itsnice for the boys to see theresults of their hard workfrom two-a-days.
Next for Inland Lakes is ahome date withJohannesburg-Lewiston onFriday, Sept. 6. The two havedeveloped a healthy rivalryin the recent past, splittingtheir last four meetings. Thelast three games in the serieshave been decided by eightpoints or less.
Jo-burg, which last year
reached a Division 8 regionalchampionship game,
opened with a 35-14 loss toTawas.
They must have had fiveturnovers in that game,Schramm said of theCardinals in their loss toTawas. Were expecting agood game out of them.(Recent meetings), theyvebeen nail biters. They comeright down to the last sec-onds, the last play some-times. We expect anotherone like that.
We know theyre goodand theyve got good, fastkids, real athletic.
Daniel Flowers led InlandLakes against Onaway with131 yards on 15 carries, while
Athey completed 5-of-12passes for 57 yards.
Flowers scored on a 55-yard run to put Inland Lakesup, 6-0, before Onawayanswered with at Matt Tollinito Tom Auger touchdownpass. Carlos Bautistas extra-point kick put the Cardinalsin front, 7-6, at halftime.
The dangerous Tollini was12-of-26 passing for 180
yards, but was interceptedtwice, both times by TristonLong.
They threw the ballaround pretty decently and Ifelt like we defended it pretty
well, Schramm said. Therewere times they hit a big one,but our defense did a nice
job.Tollini was also Onaways
top rusher with 50 yards, butmoving it on the ground is anarea the Cardinals mustshore up, said Jim Cleaver,
who saw his head-coachingdebut spoiled with the loss.
Overall I thought ourdefense played really well,Cleaver said. Our offensestruggled at times. MattTollini, hes got a great arm,but we definitely need to addmore of a running game toour repertoire.
Next for the Cardinals is anon-league home date withRogers City, which left theSki Valley Conference afterlast season to join the NorthStar League. The Huronsdefeated Au Gres Sims, 30-20, in their opener last week.
Rogers City finished acombined 1-17 over the pasttwo seasons, the lone wincoming over Rudyard, 33-6,in the seventh week of the2012 season.
Were not going to takethem lightly -- were not tak-ing any team lightly, Cleaversaid.
Auger was Onaways lead-ing receiver with 90 yards onfive receptions, while NoahBacon had 40 yards on fourcatches, and Bautista had 38on two.
Tollini made 12 tacklesand Chris Cleaver had 11including a sack to lead
Onaways defense. Bautistaadded seven stops, while
Frank Ramos, Isaac Naveand Auger had four apiece.Chris Cleaver recovered afumble.
Christian Wallace added60 yards rushing on 13attempts for the Bulldogs,
while Long had two catchesfor 34 yards.
Long and Wallace ledInland Lakes defense witheight tackles apiece, whilesenior Trevor Mallory was astandout at linebacker andon the offensive line,Schramm said.
The Bulldogs, Schrammadded, will attempt to buildon their first season-openingvictory since 09, his first sea-son at the helm.
To put it in one word,
potential, he said. I dontthink theyve scratched thesurface of their potential andhow good they can be. Ithink offensively and defen-sively, not only in the back-field in the skilled positions,but our offensive and defen-sive lines are very athletictoo, and we havent had thathere. I think the potential isthere to be a very good foot-ball team and that excitesme.

Salmon fishing on the
Great Lakes is really hitting
its stride as many species are
getting ready to begin their
upstream migration. At the
moment Lake Michigan is
particularly popular for
Chinook salmon with anglers
trying various techniques to
land this prized sportfish.
One tactic that can be par-
ticularly useful when target-
ing Chinooks is fishing with
glow lures. This species can
often be caught near the sur-
face in low-light conditions
and glow lures make that
opportunity even more
appealing.
In particular, glow lures
work well in the early morn-
ing hours before the sun
comes up or at night. Many
believe this type of lure
attracts salmon because itcan be seen in the dark from
longer distances and encour-
ages them to strike.
Are you interested in tar-
geting Chinook salmon this
later summer/early fall?
Check out their page on the
Michigan Fish and How to
Catch Them website.

Johannesburg-Lewiston's
start couldn't have been bet-
ter. The end result wasn't
what they had hoped for
however, falling to the host-
ing Tawas Area Braves 35-14
in both team's football sea-
son opener Thursday night.
We don't have a lot of
experience, so I was glad to
see them come out and play
hard, Tawas head coach Tim
Webb said. Normally, if you
play as hard as you can for an
entire game good things hap-
pen. We made some mis-
takes, you just have to be able
to recover from these things.
One of those mistakes
came just over two minutes
into the game. After stopping
J-L on a fourth down playdeep in their own territory,
Tawas quarterback Justin
Kirinovic fired a wide receiv-
er screen-pass that was inter-
cepted by J-L's Ethan May
and returned 20 yards for the
first score of the night. The
Cardinal two-point conver-
sion attempt of a quarter-
back keeper by Brandon Huff
was stopped short to leave
the score 6-0 with 8:51 to go
in the first.
We started off well with
that pick but that momen-
tum shifted and we just did-
n't play well after that, J-L
head coach Joe Smokevitch
said. We made a lot of mis-
takes and I think our inexpe-
rience showed.
Tawas Area responded by
scoring on its next drive,
overcoming a first-and-17
early in the drive to go 53
yards in seven plays for its
first score of the season.
Kirinovic dove in behind Wes
Frank from one yard out on a
quarterback keeper on the
scoring play, with Dan
Howell kicking in the extra
point to give Tawas a 7-6 lead
with 5:41 to go in the first.
Tawas held J-L to a three-
and out and its next posses-
sion, getting the ball on the
Tawas 16 yard line.
The Braves pieced together
a 12-play drive that ended
with 9:35 to go in the secondquarter, on another one-yard
Kirinovic touchdown run.
Howell added his second
extra point in as many tries to
put the Braves ahead 14-6.
The Cardinals picked up
two first downs on their next
drive, reaching the Tawas 36
yard line before turning the
ball over on downs.
On Tawas' first play of the
ensuing drive, Kirinovic fired
a pass to Jonathan Lewis on a
route across the middle, with
Lewis breaking two tackles to
race in 64 yards for the score.
A Howell extra point made it
21-6 with 4:28 left in the half.
The Cardinals hard a short
drive die out after one first
down late in the half, punting
the ball away to the Tawas on
its own 12 yard line with 3:14
to play in the half.
The Braves were on the J-L
39 yard line with 25 seconds
to go in the half, when
Kirinovic, who had dropped
back to pass, rolled to his left
and fired to Howell at the five
yard line. From there, Howell
broke a tackle and juked a
host of Cardinal defenders to
cross the endzone with 13
seconds to play in the half.
Howell followed that with his
fourth extra point of the
night to give the Braves a 28-
6 lead at the break.
Tawas returned the second
half kick to its own 23 yardline, but punted the ball
away on a three-and-out.
The Cardinals pieced
together its only offensive
score of the night in an ensu-
ing eight play 54 yard drive
that was capped off by a
fourth-and-10 play at the
Tawas 35 yard line that saw J-
L quarterback Brandon Huff
fire a pass to Cameron
Nickert who easily ran in for
a touchdown. Huff kept the
ball on the two-point play to
make it 28-14 midway
through the third quarter.
You have to give J-L cred-
it, they came out hard in thesecond half, Webb said.
They showed a lot of tough-
ness. We brought a blitz on
fourth and long and they
picked it up and made a nice
catch.
Smokevitch wasn't sur-
prised in his team's strong
play for most of the second
half.
We had a good talk at half
and got the kids motivated,
Smokevitch said. Had a cou-
ple things go our way who
knows.
The Tawas offense failed to
put the game away for most
of the second half, but the
defense responded by stop-
ping several lengthy J-L
drives, including three fum-
ble recoveries by Cameron
Ellis.
I was very pleased with
the defense getting some
stops and turnovers, Webb
said. We seemed to really fly
around and it seemed like
our pads were popping. They
like to run full-back trap and
we pretty much shut that
down.
The Braves put an excla-
mation point on their victory
with 2:28 to play, getting
Austin Brown to run in from
18 yards out on a pitch-play.
Howell continued his perfect
night kicking, making the
final score 35-14.We got off to a good start,
I'm not sure if it was an
adjustment that they made
or if it was us making mis-
takes, Webb said of J-L
crawling back into the game.
Football teams have to do
that (hold on for wins) to be
able to grow.
Kirinovic finished the
night nine-of-16 passing for
171 yards, two touchdowns
and one interception and
also added nine rushes for 39
yards and two touchdowns.
Brown ran eight times for
63 yards and one score and
Brad Huebel ran eight times
for 40 yards.
Lewis finished with two
catches for 80 yards and onetouchdown, Howell had
three grabs for 76 yards and
one score and Kyle Lehr had
one catch for 18 yards.
Huebel led the defense
with 15 tackles, Erik Thatcher
had 11 tackles, Howell took
down nine, Mitchel Lewis
had seven and Jacob Morgan
and Ellis both had five.
The positive is it's a long
season, Smokevitch, who
was making his debut as
head coach said. Last year's
team started 1-2, so we have
a long way to go. We have
great kids and when we get
into the Ski-Valley
Conference schedule teams
will have to stop us.
J-L (0-1) plays at IndianRiver (1-0) on Friday. The
Bulldogs are coming off a 14-
7 win over Onaway last week.
The Cardinals will look to
avenge last year's 34-28 loss.

age 12 to 14 inches but somewere as big as 17 inches.Freshwater drum, channelcatfish, and rock bass werecaught. Most are usingcrawlers but a few did well
with crank baits. A fewsalmon are in the river butcatch rates were poor. Cooler
weather is needed.Harrisville: The fish are
scattered so anglers will haveto work for them. The walleyeare deep, 100 to 140 feet andmost were caught by thosetargeting trout and salmon
with spoons and body baits.A few salmon were caught inthe harbor but these fish
seem to be early runners.Oscoda: Fish are on themove so finding them can bedifficult. Walleye are deepand were caught with thetrout and salmon. Pieranglers caught a few salmon
with glow spoons in the earlymorning or evening.
Au Sable River: Fishingbelow Mio has been verygood and the white fly hatchshould continue through theLabor Day weekend. Watertemperatures have been fair-ly cool below Mio whichmeans the fish have beenactive and healthy. Catfishare moving in and out of the
river.Higgins Lake: Was produc-ing perch near the SunkenIsland and along the dropoffs. No big numbers but thefish were nice size. Thosetrolling just off the bottom in80 to 120 feet caught laketrout on the north endincluding the north side of
Treasure Island. Those jig-ging found lake trout andwhitefish in 80 to 100 feet.Anglers are still catching lotsof rock bass. This is a greatfishery for kids.
Houghton Lake: Catchrates were slow but steady.Those using crawlers, leech-es and leaf worms caughtbass, walleye, and panfish.
Tawas: Boat and pier fish-ing in the bay are slow. A few
walleye were taken offAlabaster, Au Sable Point andJerry's Marina but anglersneed to fish deeper water.One angler targeting walleyeactually caught a 15 pound
chinook in 80 feet of waterwhen trolling a crawler har-ness.
Upper Peninsula FishingReport
Cedarville and Hessel:Perch anglers have done welloff the east end of the marinapier in Hessel Bay and off thepublic dock. They are usingminnows or crawlers in 8 to12 feet. The south end ofHessel Bay had excellent pikefishing for those using chubs.Salmon were caught in 50 to70 feet in Hessel Bay and the
Yacht Entrance.St. Ignace: Had no change.
Lake trout and salmon arestill being caught aroundMackinac Island, RoundIsland, Bois Blanc Island, theflats and the Coast GuardStation.
St. Mary's River: Walleyefishing in Raber Bay hasslowed in the shipping chan-nel from Point Aux Frenes to
the old bell buoy. A few pikewere caught on the south-west end of Neebish Island,at the mouth of theMunuscong River or thesouthwest end of KempsPoint when trolling chromespoons or black bucktailspinners. Anglers need to
watch for low water levelswhen boating on the St.Mary's River and aroundDrummond Island.
DeTour: Anglers are stilltaking chinook and lake troutbetween Frying Pan Island,the #3 green can and the #2red can out near DrummondIsland. Chinook salmon are
ranging 7 to 15 pounds. Hotcolors are watermelon,green, purple and white.
Drummond Island: Winddirection did have an effectof walleye fishing. Fish werecaught by those trollingcrawler harnesses with bot-tom bouncers in 12 to 14 feetaround Peck Island. Anglershad fair to good perch fishingin Maxton Bay. Most aredrifting or still-fishing withmedium size minnows nearthe red buoy located on thesouth end of Grape Island. Afew nice pike were taken onthe northwest side of theisland when casting or
trolling chrome spoons witha red eye in 8 feet of water.Smallmouth bass are hittingtube jigs near Harbor Islandor a crawler with a slip bob-ber on the west side of PeckIsland. Brown and green tube
jigs worked well.
Salmon fishing is going strong
