Ports: Snowbirds Reign in Region!!

By Mike Dunn
BUCKLEY For the sec-

ond year in a row, the St.
Mary Snowbirds have hoist-
ed the Class D regional
championship trophy.
The Snowbirds pushed
their record to 23-2 as they
stormed through the regional
tournament at Buckley like a
freshly honed saw blade
through dry timber. After dis-
mantling Leland 60-28 in the
regional semifinal on
Tuesday, March 5, the
Snowbird gals outfought and
outscored a pretty tough
Bear Lake squad 39-23 on
Thursday, March 7, in the
regional title game.
St. Mary advanced to the
quarterfinal game at Reed
City on Tuesday, March 12,
against Climax-Scotts. The
Lady Panthers (19-5) defeat-
ed Fulton-Middleton 41-28
in the regional title game
played at Hudsonville
Freedom Christian.
Climax-Scotts, a three-
time regional finalist,
advanced to the quarterfinals
for the first time since 2003
and was looking to go to the
Final Four for the first time
since 1986. [See result of
regional title game in this
issue.]
The suffocating Snowbirds
went into the regional title
game functioning on all
cylinders. Defensive pressure
has been the girls calling
card and chief key to success
and that was evident in
abundance during the
regional victories over Leland
and Bear Lake.
In the regional title game
with Bear Lake, the
Snowbirds covered the floor
like wall-to-wall carpeting
and kept Bear Lake big girls
Hannah Harrington (5-foot-
10) and long-armed lefty
Emileigh Ferguson (6-foot-1)
blanketed from start to fin-
ish.
We knew we had to win it
with our defense, said St.
Mary coach Dan Smith. I
thought we had a great game
plan. Sarah Long did an out-
standing job of keeping their
big scorer (Ferguson) from
getting access to the ball and
getting open shots at the bas-
ket. It was just a dynamite
effort on Sarahs part.
She stood her ground at
the baseline and kept
Ferguson from getting those
easy lob passes inside and at
the same time Mary
(Spyhalski) did a great job of
limiting the other big girl
(Harrington) and forcing her
to work for every point.
Feisty freshman forward
Bekah Myler also helped the
Snowbird cause defensively
during her time on the floor.
While the Snowbirds were
successfully shutting off easy
access to post entries to the
Lakers, St. Mary guards Kari
Borowiak, Chrissy Smith and
Jada Bebble were doing their
part out on the perimeter,
terrorizing the Bear Lake
guards. The Snowbirds ulti-
mately forced 25 turnovers in
the game and allowed the
Lakers just 23 points, far
below their season average.
Of those 23 points, 17 came
from the big girls and just six
from the perimeter.
Bear Lake, a solid two-way
team which didnt get to the
regional title game without
merit, still made this a tough
fight.
The Lakers also did a good
job defensively on the
Snowbirds, forcing them to
work for their points also.
The Lakers were particularly
effective in keeping
Borowiak, Smith and Bebble
from penetrating through the
paint as they had done so
effectively and efficiently in
many other games during the
season.
Bear Lake was only the
third team to limit the nor-
mally explosive Snowbirds to
less than 40 points in a game
this season.
One of St. Marys biggest
buckets was a 3-pointer from
Smith in the second quarter
after Bear Lake had trimmed
the Snowbird lead to 11-9.
Chrissys cannon blast
pushed the St. Mary lead to
14-9 and the Lakers were
never able to get closer than
five points again in the game.
The dependable Spyhalski
also got some key early bas-
kets. Mary and Chrissy com-
bined to score 10 of St. Marys
16 first-half points.
Spyhalski finished with a
game-high 14 points to go
with five rebounds. Smith
struck for eight with five
assists and four steals.
Borowiak, who eclipsed
the 1,000-point scoring
plateau during the district
tournament the week before,
was limited to six points but
made critical contributions
away from the ball, securing
six assists and ratcheting up
the defensive pressure. All
Erin was missing defensively
was the eye patch to com-
plete her pirate persona as
she recorded a whopping
seven steals.
Long launched six points
with five rebounds in addi-
tion to her sterling defensive
work inside and Bebble was a
beast defensively, racking up
four steals. Bebble also made
the twine dance from down-
town at the outset of the third
quarter to push St. Marys
lead to 19-9 and ignite a
game-turning run that even-
tually gave the Snowbirds a
30-13 advantage.
Harrington hit for nine to
lead the Lakers (18-6) and
Ferguson fought to get eight
through the iron.
ON TUESDAY, March 5, in
the 60-28 victory over Leland,
Borowiak was the chief
undertaker for St. Mary,
burying 19 points in a game
where the surging Snowbirds
stormed to a 19-0 lead.
Spyhalski spanked the
twine for 12 while Smith
struck for eight and Bekah
Myler and Sarah Long each
hit for six.

REED CITY The St. Mary girls came
heartbreakingly close to a berth in the
Class D Final Four on Tuesday but
Climax-Scotts was able to hold off a late
Snowbird rally and secure a hard-
fought 42-40 victory.
The Snowbird season ended with an
excellent 23-3 mark while the Panthers
(20-5) moved on to face unbeaten St.
Ignace (25-0) in the Class D semifinals
at Michigan State on Thursday at 6 p.m.
In the other Class D semifinal, Athens
(22-3) faces defending state champ
Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes (20-4).
Climax led 38-29 at the start of the
fourth quarter before the Snowbirds
rallied to make a game of it. A driving
layup by Chrissy Smith and a pair of
free throws from freshman Bekah
Myler trimmed the Climax lead to a
single point, 38-37, with 2:25 remain-
ing. The Panthers pulled ahead 42-37
with 23 seconds left behind a basket
and two free throws from senior guard
Janae Langs but Smith drained a triple
to make the score 42-40 with 5 seconds
to go.
Smith finished with 14 points while
Myler scored 12 and Mary Spyhalski hit
for 10. Kari Borowiak dished off eight
assists.

GAYLORD The Pellston
girls of coach Barb Ingraham
battled hard against unbeat-
en Posen on Tuesday, March
5, in the Class D regional
semifinals at Gaylord. Effort
alone wasnt enough for the
g a me - b ut - o ut ma nne d
Hornets to overcome the
highly talented Posen squad,
however.
Sixth-ranked Posen
improved to 23-0 with an
impressive 69-25 victory and
advanced to a much-antici-
pated regional champi-
onship game with unbeaten
and No. 1 ranked St. Ignace.
Pellston finished the sea-
son with a 5-16 mark.
Posen pushed to an early
lead and never looked back,
leading 21-4 after the first
quarter and 56-15 at half-
time.
Hardworking Emma
Dunham delivered 11 points
to pace Pellston on what
would prove to be the final
game of her notable prep
hardwood career. Tough Tori
Kirsch, another senior who
capped a solid career on the
hardwood, canned five
points and fellow fighting
senior Kristine MacLean
landed four.
Korynn Hincka tallied 23 to
lead Posen.
Ingraham lauded the
efforts and leadership of sen-
iors Emma Dunham, Tori
Kirsch, Alexis Stencil,
Kristine MacLean and
Tequara Kiley throughout the
season.
The Class D regional final
between Posen and St.
Ignace more than lived up to
its billing. The favored Saints
eventually won but had to
work for it, edging the Vikings
74-68 as Hincka poured 40
points through the iron.

TRAVERSE CITY The road
finally came to an end in the
Class A regional semifinals.
The Gaylord girls of coach
Frank Hamilla, after making
a remarkable late-season run
and winning three straight in
the district tournament,
faced undefeated defending
state champion Grand Haven
on Tuesday, March 5, and lost
by a 54-34 decision.
The Blue Devils stayed
with the defending champs
through the first half, howev-
er, in spite of a huge height
differential. Grand Haven
featured dual skyscrapers
Abbey Cole (6-foot-5) and
Taylor Cramer (6-foot-2) but
the Blue Devils took it right to
them through the first 16
minutes of play.
Gaylord, in fact, forged a
13-13 tie through the first
quarter and trailed only by
six, 25-19, at the half. Grand
Haven finally asserted its
strength inside to pull away
in the third quarter and take
a double-digit lead, 41-28,
into the final period.
Hamilla was really proud
of his teams effort in the final
game of the season, especial-
ly against such a formidable
foe.
We wanted to get off to a
good start and we accom-
plished that, Hamilla
reported. We werent intimi-
dated by their size; we went
right at them. Thats what
impressed me about my girls,
they took it right at them. Im
so proud of the way we
played.
Ultimately, the towering
height of Cole and Cramer
proved too much of a chal-
lenge to overcome. The pair
combined for 29 points, with
Cramer canning 16 and Cole
hitting for 13.
It seemed like every time
we would double Abbey, she
would find her partner in the
post, Hamilla said. When
we had the ball, we had a few
shots that looked like they
were down and would roll
out but I was happy how we
attacked at the offensive
end.
Gaylord seniors Mackenzie
Edwards and Alex Simmons
aggressively took the ball to
the hole throughout the
game.
Mac, the Blue Devils lethal
lefty, capped her brilliant
four-year prep career with a
team-high 13 points. Mac
leaves her footprints and fin-
gerprints all over the Gaylord
record book, departing the
program as the third Blue
Devil gal to reach 1,000
points and the second all-
time leading scorer behind
Shanna Pratt.
The steady Simmons was
another outstanding senior
on this years roster who con-
tributed greatly to the teams
success. Alex launched nine
through the iron in her final
game. Long-armed senior
Chelsea Fox and gritty junior
Maddie Hamilla battled with
frenetic fervor down low
against the taller Cramer and
Cole, each grabbing four
rebounds.
Senior point guard Sarah
Polena was perpetual
motion, as usual, motoring
everywhere with the intensi-
ty motor locked at full speed
ahead. Sarah secured five
assists with her pinpoint
passing and also recorded
two steals.
It was a great effort by the
Blue Devils to mark a terrific
season. The Blue Devils, after
winning just four games in
their first 11, won nine of
their last 12 to finish with a
13-10 log, including the first
district title since 1995 and
the first Class A district title
in the history of the girls pro-
gram.
It was a great season,
Hamilla said. We got hot at
the right time. It was a pleas-
ure coaching these fine
young ladies.
The hardworking, high-
achieving seniors who played
their final game for Gaylord
included Stephanie Buttrick,
Terri Cavender, Mackenzie
Edwards, Chelsea Fox, Alex
Simmons and Sarah Polena.
Grand Haven advanced to
the finals, defeating
Grandville 36-26.

Class A state champ Grand Haven in

PELLSTON High school
sports are a consistent
reminder of the fluctuations
in life. There are few con-
stants. Character is one of
those.
And the character of Cliff
Hass and the players on his
Pellston High School boys
basketball team was tested
over and over throughout the
2012-13 season.
They were rewarded for
their collective perseverance
when they defeated Burt
Lake Northern Michigan
Christian Academy, 53-40, on
Friday to capture a third con-
secutive Class D district
championship.
Pellstons season came to
an end three nights later with
a 69-32 regional-semifinal
loss to Hillman on the
Hornets home court.
Pellston, which had accumu-
lated a 42-6 record over the
previous two seasons, fin-
ished 5-18.
Im very satisfied, Hass
said of his teams district title.
For us, that was a great
accomplishment. Im very
proud of this group. I told the
kids, You win the district,
that makes your season.
Im big on life lessons. Im
the worlds worst loser, but
its more important to build
the character of the athlete. I
think thats what Im most
pleased with, I have a bunch
of great individuals.
Jake Friedenstab scored 19
points and Dale Stark added
17 in leading the Hornets
past NMCA, which finished
9-11 and, with Fridays loss,
said good-bye to senior
guard Aaron Chatfield, the
schools second-leading all-
time scorer with more than
1,500 points.
The Hornets, spearheaded
by Austin Wright, held
Chatfield to a season-low 12
points, nine of which came in
the first half. Chatfield was
held without a field goal in
the second half, during
which Pellston used its supe-
rior depth in pulling away.
We knew we had to hold
Chatfield below 30 and keep
him from having a huge
night, Hass said. We felt
that was something we could
do.
Jake Lovitt scored 18 points
and Robert Taylor added 10
to lead the Eagles, who are
still seeking the first district
championship in school his-
tory. They have reached the
district title game 10 times.
He (Chatfield) had to
carry us this year, NMCA
coach Josh Farraiuolo said.
Most of his work was done
on the offensive end because
they sent a lot of guys at
him.
Taylor scored on an inside
bucket off a Chatfield dish to
tie the game at 36-all with 1
minute, 31 seconds remain-
ing in the third quarter.
The Hornets answered
with a 9-0 run, all of which
came in threes. Friedenstab
scored on a fast break and
was fouled and made the free
throw to put Pellston in front,
39-36, to close the third quar-
ter; Stark hit a leaner, was
fouled, and converted at the
line for the first points of the
fourth to make it 42-36; then
Brent Bennington nailed a
top-of-the-key 3-pointer to
increase Pellstons advantage
to 45-36.
NMCA never got closer
than seven the rest of the
way.
They had an answer for
every run that we had,
Farraiuolo said. Theyre
well-coached, theyre experi-
enced. You could tell theyve
been here before.
They had indeed. But the
road to this district crown
was by far the most difficult,
and it may have seemed a
pipe dream as the Hornets
struggled over several obsta-
cles throughout the season.

Winning streak
ends in Regional
play Monday
Hornets win district title third
consecutive year
By Mike Dunn
ROGERS CITY The
Onaway boys of coach Eddy
Szmoniak put up a tough
battle for 32 minutes on
Wednesday, March 6, in the
Class D district semifinal
clash with Posen but it was
the Vikings pulling out a
hard-fought 72-67 victory to
keep their season alive.
The Cardinals saw their
season end with a 12-10
record. Posen advanced to
the district title game of the
Rogers City tourney on
Friday, March 8, and lost to
Hillman.
The semifinal clash
between the Cardinals and
Vikings was an intense, phys-
ical battle featuring lots of
on-floor collisions, rugged
defense, bruising battles
under the boards and players
diving for loose balls all over
the place. There were lots of
fouls as well.
Onaway juniors Joe
OBradovich and Carlos
Bautista cast long shadows in
the paint, as theyve done all
year, and nearly put the
Cardinals over the top. The
pair combined for a whop-
ping 36 points and 35
rebounds, with Joey O grab-
bing 18 boards to go with 16
points and Bautista bringing
down 17 to go with 20 points.
The blunt-force impact of
OBradovich and Bautista
down low combined with the
twine-twitching shooting of
Rasheed Porter, Andrew
Perry and Jason Sigsby from
the perimeter kept the
Cardinals in the game but
couldnt quite offset Posens
poisonous perimeter pop-
ping.
Nick Hincka drained the
nets for a game-high 26
points and Martin Mulka
made the nets dance to the
tune of 25 points for the vic-
torious Vikings. Hincka and
Mulka each hit twice from
downtown and they were a
combined 13-for-19 from the
stripe. Travis Sharpe also
buried one from 3-point
range and scored six and
Brandon Dietz delivered
seven.
Posen maintained a slim
lead throughout nearly all of
the game. The Cardinals
staged a frenetic fourth-
quarter comeback but the
Vikings made their free
throws and hit some key
shots down the stretch to
gain the well-deserved victo-
ry.
Porter and Perry each pro-
duced nine points for the
Cardinals in the contest and
Sigsby sank seven. Bautista
and Sigsby both fouled out
late in the game.

These stirring scenes from the Class C regional semifinal game
played at McBain between Johannesburg-Lewiston and Traverse City
St. Francis reveal the dogged defensive effort of the Cardinals and the
physical, intense nature of the contest. The Cardinals trailed by just
two points after three quarters before the Gladiators used a fourth-
quarter run to get some breathing room on the way to a win. J-L fin-
ished another excellent season with a 22-2 record in addition to a Ski
Valley title and a district title.

BATTLE IN

A scoreless quarter in high
school basketball is never
good. A scoreless quarter and
the other team scoring 18
points can be down right dis-
astrous. Such was the case for
Mio Monday night at the
Saginaw Heritage regional
class 'D' semi-finals, as the
Thunderbolts fell 70-47 to
Beal City.
The second quarter did us
in, Mio head coach Dennis
Kann said of the season end-
ing setback. They hit back-
to-back threes and turned a
10 point game into a 16 point
game real quick.
Mio, coming off its first dis-
trict title since 2009, fell
behind 6-0 in the first three
minutes of the game, but
Seth Thomey scored Mio's
first points on a drive to the
basket. A put-back basket by
Aaron Georgieff made it 6-4
and Micah Thomey drilled a
three-pointer to give Mio its
first lead at 7-6.
Beal City answered with a
three of its own but with the
game tied at 9-all in the final
minute of the quarter, Seth
Thomey took the ball at the
top of the key, faked-out his
opponent with a strong
crossover and easily drove
through the lane for a lay-in
that put the Bolts up 11-9
after the first.
Mio couldn't get a shot to
fall in the second, missing
several close-range shots
while the Aggies rolled to a
19-11 lead with just under a
minute to play in the first
half.
Things got worse for Mio
before the half ended, as Beal
City's Luke Farrell stole an
errant pass and raced to the
other end for a fast-break
bucket to make it 21-11. Cory
Mead and Ryan Tilmann
continued the onslaught,
each drilling a three-pointer
before the buzzer sounded
on the half to make it 27-11 at
the break.
Give Beal City credit, it
was good timing for them to
make those threes, Kann
said.
Beal City scored the first
basket of the second half to
increase its lead to 29-11, but
Micah Thomey banked home
a three-pointer from the
right side to start Mio's sec-
ond half surge.
The Thunderbolts contin-
ued to cut into the Aggie lead
through the rest of the quar-
ter, getting and-one three
point plays from Lubitz and
Thomey, eventually cutting
the gap to 34-28 late in the
frame.
Two more three balls by
the Aggies put them up 40-
28, though a late drive to the
lane by Colton McGregor
helped Mio pull back within
43-32 entering the fourth.
Dennis Kann netted the
first basket of the fourth to
bring Mio's deficit back
under 10 at 43-34, but four
straight free throws by the
Aggies put them up 47-34.
I think we had a good
comeback going but in the
fourth quarter the officials
changed the way they were
calling the game, Kann said.
That and we had a couple
book problems that stopped
the game and our momen-
tum for awhile.
Lubitz hit a three-pointer
and knocked down a short
floater to cut the deficit to 52-
42 with four minutes left to
play, but the Thunderbolts
could get no closer as Beal
City closed the game on an
18-5 run.
It was a tough match-up
for us, Kann said. We knew
coming in that they would be
shorter and quicker and that
our size would be a disadvan-
tage for us.
Mio was led by Micah
Thomey's 15 points, includ-
ing three 3-pointers, Lubitz
had 13 points and three
rebounds, Seth Thomey had
seven points, four assists and
four rebounds, with
McGregor and Bryce
DeGrammont both scoring
four. Dennis Kann and Aaron
Georgieff added two points
apiece.
They're all great kids, it's a
special group and I'm happy
for them, Kann said. It's
tough right now but they'll
look back at dominating the
league and for the most part
the regular season. It was a
great time for the kids.
On Friday, March 8 Mio
topped AuGres, 67-27 in the
district finals, capping off a
dominating week as the tour-
nament hosts.
It was good winning dis-
tricts at home, Kann said. It
was a great feeling, the kids
played hard all week. We
matched up well against
those teams.
Lubitz scored six points in
the opening quarter against
the Wolverines to help Mio
get off to an 18-13 lead after
the first and pulled ahead 30-
22 at the half by behind eight
more points by Lubitz.
AuGres could only manage
two free throws for its only
points in the third, while Mio
took control of the game with
a 19 point frame, highlighted
by Seth Thomey's two 3-
pointers.
Mio hit 10-of-11 shots
from the free throw line in
the fourth quarter to help
seal off the district title.
Lubitz finished with 22
points, six rebounds and
three assists, Seth Thomey
had 15 points and Micah
Thomey had 11 points, five
assists and two steals.
DeGrammont added six
points and 10 boards.
On Wednesday. March 6
Mio defeated Hale, 72-42 in
its district semi-final match-
up.
After a 10-all tie after the
first quarter, the Bolts got
nine points by Seth Thomey
and six by Lubitz to pull
ahead 33-20 at the half,
adding seven points by
Micah Thomey and six more
by Lubits in the third to
increase the edge to 50-34
entering the fourth.
Micah Thomey drilled two
more 3-pointers in the
fourth, helping Mio cost to
the 30-point win.
Lubitz finished with 25
points, Micah Thomey had
20 points, five assists, five
rebounds and three steals,
Seth Thomey had 15 points,
nine assists and six boards
and Kann had eight points
and 10 rebounds.
Mio finishes the season 20-
2 overall and was a perfect
14-0 in the North Star
League.
The kids were looking to
win the NSL and win districts
and they got it done, it took a
lot of Sunday shoot-arounds
and early morning prac-
tices, Kann said.
The Bolts graduate just two
seniors from the squad,
those being Dennis Kann and
Micah Thomey. Thomey fin-
ished with 1205 career
points.
We've got a good core
coming back, a lot of juniors,
a freshman and some sopho-
mores coming off junior var-
sity, Kann said. We could
actually be better next year
but only time will tell. The
next three to four years will
be interesting.

WEST BRANCH The
Ogemaw Heights Falcons ral-
lied to score 24 points in the
fourth quarter in their Class
B district tournament
championship matchup with
Grayling on Friday, March 8.
But, it wasnt enough, as the
visiting Vikings celebrated at
the end with a 64-53 win on
the Falcons home floor.
Grayling (18-5 overall) was
able to withstand Ogemaws
late surge by dominating the
first three quarters of play.
After building a 33-22 half-
time advantage, the Vikings
stepped up their defense to
an even higher level and lim-
ited the Falcons (10-12 over-
all, 2-10 Big North
Conference) to just seven
points, while scoring 14, in
the third period, giving them
a commanding 47-29 lead.
We had a great (third)
quarter defensively, said
Grayling head coach Rich
Moffit. Our kids were active
in our press and it led to sev-
eral transition baskets.
But, Moffit also credited
his team for setting the pace
of the game early on, as the
Grayling hoopsters held the
Falcons to just 11 points in
both of the first two periods.
We got off to a solid start
with our defensive pressure,
he said. We set the tempo of
the game early and pushed
the ball offensively.
Junior forward-center
Justice Junttila led the way
for Grayling both offensive-
ly and on the glass with a
team-high 17 points, 10
rebounds (4 offensive) and 2
assists.
Junior guard Tyler
McClanahan was the only
other Viking in double fig-
ures, tallying 11 points, 2
rebounds, 5 assists and 1
steal in the championship
game.
This was a great game for
our kids and our communi-
ty, Moffit said. I thought
our kids played to our identi-
ty and we were very unselfish
on the offensive end of the
court.
Other contributors for the
district champs included:
Scott Parkinson with 9
points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 1
assist and 1 blocked shot;
Tyler Powers with 9 points, 3
rebounds, 2 steals and 1
assist; Michael Branch with 8
points, 6 rebounds (4 offen-
sive) and 1 steal; Jake
Swander with 4 points, 1
board, 4 steals and 1 assist;
Wes Dean with 3 points, 8
rebounds, 1 steal, 1 assist and
3 blocked shots; Carson
Burmeister with 3 points, 3
boards, 2 assists and 1 steal;
Peyton Zigilia with 4
rebounds, 1 steal, 1 assist and
1 blocked shot; and Matt
Burrell with 1 steal.
This group has dedicated
their offseason to getting bet-
ter and it is great to see it pay
off with a championship,
Moffit added. A special
thanks to our assistant
coaches for their hard work
in preparing our players.
Grayling 88
Kalkaska 38
The Vikings left little doubt
who had the better team
overall in a second-round
Class B district tournament
clash with Lake Michigan
Conference rival Kalkaska on
Wednesday, March 6.
Grayling, which finished
second in the conference
behind Traverse City St.
Francis at 11-3, opened up
with a 24-9 barrage and
never looked back in a crush-
ing 88-38 win over the last-
place Blue Blazers (2-17 over-
all, 0-14 LMC).
Kalkaska played us very
tough the previous two
games, so our kids came into
this game focused and ready
to play, said Moffit.
The Vikings followed up an
impressive first period with
an even better second quar-
ter, outgunning Kalkaska, 29-
11, on their way to a 53-20
lead at halftime.
With the game seemingly
already in hand, Grayling still
dominated play in the sec-
ond half and outscored
Kalkaska, 35-18.
At least 13 Vikings scored
in the tournament win, led
by Junttila with 20 points, 7
rebounds and 4 steals.
Burrell posted what might
have been his best game of
the season with 14 points, 1
rebound, 3 steals and 2
assists, while Branch chipped
in 10 points, 4 rebounds and
3 steals.
Very impressed with our
business like attitude on the
court and the fact that our
kids got after Kalkaska early
and often, Moffit said. It
was an outstanding team
effort which was highlighted
by the play of Junttila and
Burrell.
Other contributors for
Grayling included: Swander
with 9 points, 1 rebound, 4
steals and 4 assists;
Parkinson with 8 points, 2
rebounds, 3 assists and 1
steal; Zigilia with 6 points, 4
boards, 4 steals and 1 assist;
Emmett Herself with 5 points
and 1 rebound; McClanahan
with 4 points, 1 rebound, 3
assists and 2 steals; Richie
Sanford with 4 points and 1
steal; Burmeister with 3
points, 1 board and 5 steals;
Powers with 2 points, 1 assist
and 1 blocked shot; Scout
Tobin with 2 points and 3
assists; Dean with 1 point, 3
boards, 1 steal and 1 assist;
and Scott Wakeley with 1
rebound and 1 assist.

McBAIN It was a whale
of a fight.
The Johannesburg-
Lewiston girls of coach
Heather Huff traveled south
to McBain on Tuesday, March
5, to take on taller, quicker
Traverse City St. Francis in a
Class C regional semifinal
clash. The Gladiators were
favored to win and did so, but
not without a struggle.
St. Francis (22-2) pulled
away in the fourth quarter to
pull out a hard-fought 56-41
victory and advance to the
regional title game against
Shelby. The Cardinals closed
out another notable season
with a 22-2 record, a share of
the Ski Valley title and a dis-
trict title. It was J-Ls fourth
berth in the regional tourna-
ment in five years.
Im really proud of the
girls, Huff said following the
game, showing great compo-
sure on the outside but obvi-
ously hurting on the inside.
They played their hearts
out. They won 22 games this
season and a lot of girls go
through their whole high
school careers without win-
ning that many games.
They made me proud and
the whole community
proud, she added. They can
leave here with their heads
held high.
The Cardinals showed
plenty of the grit, spit and
hustle that has made them
such a formidable opponent
during the Huff Era and the
Guild Era before that, but
hustle, hard work and defen-
sive pressure were not quite
enough to offset the height
disadvantage in this one or
timely shooting down the
stretch by St. Francis.
The Gladiators rallied from
an early 5-0 deficit to take a
10-5 first-quarter lead as sen-
ior 6-foot center Bridget
Bussell scored six straight
points, all following offensive
rebounds.
The Glads maintained
their lead in the second quar-
ter, going into halftime with a
25-17 advantage after senior
guard Lauren Buckle, who
had a great game, drained a
3-pointer at the buzzer.
In the third quarter,
though, the Cardinals
employed the kind of fren-
zied full-court assault that J-
L fans have become so famil-
iar with through the years.
The suffocating defensive
pressure yielded excellent
results.
St. Francis gained a daunt-
ing 11-point lead in the early
going of the quarter before
the determined Cardinals got
down-and-dirty and turned
the game into hand-to-hand
combat.
Feisty freshman guard
Maddie Showerman ignited
what would turn out to be a
20-11 run over the final six
minutes of the quarter with a
steal and a subsequent
deuce. Hard-nosed senior
Katelyn Weaver waxed the
twine with a jumper after
that as the J-L attack picked
up steam and the complex-
ion of the game began to
change noticeably.
A jumper from super-
charged senior wing Abby
Schlicher trimmed the Glads
lead to 34-28 with 3:28 left in
the quarter and brought the
large-and-loud contingent of
J-L faithful in the seats to
their feet.
A determined drive by
Showerman and a breakway
bucket from junior Julia
Nieman following another
mid-court steal made it a
four-point game, 36-32, with
2:18 left.
A layup from Abby made it
a two-point game, 36-34,
with 34 seconds remaining
before Buckel, who was a real
Cardinal Killer on this night,
drained a critical 3-pointer
for the Glads with 18 seconds
remaining to push their lead
back to 39-34.
But J-L wasnt done. The
resilient Schlicher, calm as a
windless sea, fired one home
from 3-point land as the final
seconds tolled off the clock
to again make it a two-point
game, 39-37.
J-L had completely turned
the game around in the quar-
ter with their fierce defensive
onslaught and appeared to
have the momentum going
into the final eight minutes of
play. Brittany Cherwinski,
Katie Kierczynski, Sydney
McKenny, McKenzie
Mathewson and Natalie
Hamilton, among others,
fueled the fiery, frenetic
attack with their fierce play
on the floor along with
Schlicher, Hannah Huff,
Katelyn Weaver, Hailey
Weaver and Showerman.
St. Francis did not bring a
21-2 record into the game for
no reason, however. The
Glads responded with a time-
ly run in the first minutes of
the fourth quarter to increase
their lead to double digits
again.
The Cardinals would con-
tinue to battle stubbornly
and gamely down the stretch
but the lead would prove too
much to overcome.
The Glads used their own
defensive pressure to turn
the tables on the desperate
Cardinals down the stretch.
Bodies were flying across the
floor in pursuit of loose balls
and bruises were accumulat-
ing under the boards as the
game clock wound down and
both teams ratcheted up the
defensive pressure.
St. Francis was able to
make its free throws, going 7-
for-8 in the final minutes,
and limit the Cardinals
access to the paint at the
same time.
Hustling junior Hailey
Weaver converted an offen-
sive rebound into J-Ls final
official basket of the season
with 4:24 remaining.
Schlicher and Weaver hit free
throws after that to score the
final points of the final game.
St. Francis coach Mike
Knudsen was very compli-
mentary of the Cardinals
afterward.
Johannesburg is a tough,
well-coached team,
Knudsen said. They came to
play and gave us a very tough
fight. Fortunately we were
able to finish strong and
come out on top.
Huff acknowledged that
the Glads quickness caused
problems for her team, espe-
cially at the end.
St. Francis was a little
quicker and that caused us
some problems, she said.
We hurried our shots at
times and didnt make shots
we normally make. We still
hung tough for three quar-
ters but give St. Francis cred-
it. They forced turnovers
against us and made the run
at the start of the fourth
quarter and we werent able
to answer back.
Schlicher, the Cards 1,000-
point scorer, capped her bril-
liant four-year prep career
with another solid showing.
Acetylene Abby torched the
nets for a game-high 20
points, going 3-for-4 from
the stripe and hitting a trey.
She also brought down eight
boards and made two assists
and two steals.
Showerman, one of a num-
ber of promising underclass-
men returning for coach
Huff, poured in five points
and showed up big defen-
sively, recording four steals.
The Eager Weavers tough-
minded sisters Katelyn and
Hailey Weaver each record-
ed four points in the last
game they would play
together. Katelyn graduates
in the spring and Hailey, a
junior, returns. Hailey also
hauled in 10 rebounds with
her gritty effort inside.
Nieman nailed four points
as well while McKenney con-
nected for three and the
hardworking Mathewson
converted an offensive
rebound into a deuce.
Strong-armed senior Hannah
Huff whom coach Huff
described after the game as
an animal on the boards
pulled down eight rebounds.
Buckel belted 19 points
through the iron to lead St.
Francis while Bussell hit for
nine and Liza Erickson and
Kaitlyn Feeney each scored
eight.
Huff noted the contribu-
tions and leadership of her
seniors and how much she
appreciated all theyve added
to the program.
Hamilton, Schlicher, Huff,
Kierczynski and Katelyn
Weaver played their final
game for J-L.
Theyre a group group,
Huff said. They were hard
workers and good leaders.
They were always so positive
and upbeat, encouraging
everybody. Im going to miss
them all.
Huff also expressed a big
thank you to the large num-
ber of J-L fans who traveled
the long distance to McBain
to be there to root on the
Cardinals.
There were a ton of peo-
ple here cheering for us
tonight, she said.
Everywhere we go, we have
so many from the communi-
ty coming to the games and
supporting us.

Grayling cagers to face Cadillac
in regional final
GRAYLING It will be
Vikings against Vikings in the
Class B Region 16 tourna-
ment championship game,
as the boys varsity basketball
teams from Grayling and
Cadillac face off on
Wednesday, March 13, at the
Grayling High School.
The Grayling Vikings (19-5
overall) earned a shot at
regional crown after beating
Gladstone, 73-68, in the
regionals opening round
matchup Monday, March 11.
Gladstone, a member of
the Great Northern U.P.
Conference, ends its season
at 11-10 overall.
Our kids showed great
character last night, said
Vikings head coach Rich
Moffit of his teams victory.
We had our backs against
the wall a couple of times,
but our team weathered the
storm and continued to work
till the final horn.
Senior guard-forward Scott
Parkinson helped lead the
charge for Grayling with a
team-high 24 points. And,
junior forward-center Justice
Junttila continued to be a
force, much like he had been
in powering the Vikings to a
district championship last
week, with 15 points and 11
boards.
Adding to the Vikings win-
ning effort, junior guard Tyler
McClanahan tallied 11 points
and 5 assists against
Gladstone, while junior
swingman Jake Swander
chipped in 9 points.
We received some great
contributions from our
bench, with Matt Burrell,
Tyler Powers and J.J. leading
the way, Moffit said of his
team. Scott Parkinson was
very good, as was Tyler
McClanahan down the
stretch.
Jake Swander hit a key
basket and a pair of free
throws during crunch time,
he added. Michael Branch
was solid in the post.
In earning its trip to the
regional title game
Wednesday night, the
Cadillac Vikings (18-4-1 over-
all) topped Bay City John
Glenn, 62-39, in its first-
round clash on Monday.
Cadillac compiled a 9-3
record in the Big North
Conference play during the
regular season, tied atop the
standings with Petoskey and
Traverse City West.

Daily Word
THURSDAY: Deuteronomy 31:6 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 6 Be strong and courageous, do not
be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail
you or forsake you.
FRIDAY: Joshua 1:6-8 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall
give this people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be
strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant
commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success
wherever you go. 8 This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall medi-
tate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for
then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.
SATURDAY: Judges 6:12 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 12 The angel of the Lord appeared to him
and said to him, The Lord is with you, O valiant warrior.
SUNDAY: 2 Corinthians 10:2-6 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 2 I ask that when I am present I need
not be bold with the confidence with which I propose to be courageous against some, who regard
us as if we walked according to the flesh. 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war
according to the flesh, 4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely power-
ful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised
up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of
Christ, 6 and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.
MONDAY: 2 Chronicles 32:5-8 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 5 And he took courage and rebuilt all
the wall that had been broken down and erected towers on it, and built another outside wall and
strengthened the Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in great number. 6 He
appointed military officers over the people and gathered them to him in the square at the city
gate, and spoke encouragingly to them, saying, 7 Be strong and courageous, do not fear or be
dismayed because of the king of Assyria nor because of all the horde that is with him; for the one
with us is greater than the one with him. 8 With him is only an arm of flesh, but with us is the
Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles. And the people relied on the words of
Hezekiah king of Judah.
TUESDAY: 1 Chronicles 22:13 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 13 Then you will prosper, if you are
careful to observe the statutes and the ordinances which the Lord commanded Moses concerning
Israel. Be strong and courageous, do not fear nor be dismayed.
WEDNESDAY: Revelation 19:11-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 11 And I saw heaven opened,
and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness
He judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems;
and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. 13 He is clothed with a
robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which are in
heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 15 From His
mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule
them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.
16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF
LORDS.

Church
The 2013 A Higher Call Mens Conference returns March 16th, to the Gaylord Evangelical
Free Church in Gaylord. The theme of this years conference is Bulletproof and features an out-
standing lineup of speakers including an Army Ranger featured in a blockbuster movie, a Navy
Seal, and a 2 time collegiate national hockey champion.
Jeff Struecker was a decorated member of the U.S. Army's most elite fighting corps and was
prominently featured in the national bestseller "Black Hawk Down", later made into a major
motion picture. In the city streets of Mogadishu, Somalia, Jeff was faced with his greatest fears.
He was forced to rely on his skills and his "bulletproof faith" to bring him through some of the
most intense combat the U.S. Military has seen since the Vietnam War. Today, he challenges and
inspires audiences with his gripping account of that experience under fire and in the face of
death. A man of courage and conviction, Jeff Struecker uses his personal story of survival on the
battlefield to teach his listeners how they, too, can be prepared for any circumstances life has to
offer.
Days before Chad Williams was to report to military duty in Great Lakes, Illinois, he turned on
a television and was greeted with the horrifying images of his mentor, US Navy SEAL Scott
Helvenston, being brutally murdered in a premeditated ambush on the roads of Fallujah, Iraq.
Steeled in his resolve, Chad followed in Scott's footsteps and completed the US military's most
difficult and grueling training to become a Navy SEAL. One of only 13 from a class of 173 to
make it straight through to graduation, Chad served his country on SEAL Teams One and Seven
for five years, completing tours of duty in the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Iraq.
Author of his new book SEAL of God, Chad shares his journey through the grueling Naval Ops
training and onto the streets of Iraq, where he witnessed the horrors of war up close. Chad
shares his own radical conversion story and talks about how he draws on his own experiences as
a SEAL to help others better understand the depths of Christ's sacrifice and love.
After Ryan Sharpe's son, Maverick, almost died, he began sharing his story. It is a unique
story, full of victories and failures, tragedies and triumphs. It is sure to provide hope and inspi-
ration for others. Ryan is a 2-time collegiate hockey national champion who speaks at numer-
ous events on topics such as trusting God, improving your marriage, parenting, leadership and
teamwork.
Ticket deals are available for early orders and larger groups. For more information, please

& Petoskey RV USA
As Chevrolets first V-8, rear-wheel-
drive performance sedan since 1996, the
new Chevrolet SS is designed to deliver
performance on the street and on the
track. The 2014 Chevrolet SS will debut
this weekend at the Daytona
International Speedway as the SS racecar
makes its NASCAR debut during the
Daytona 500.
The Chevrolet brand was largely built
on the strength of rear-drive perform-
ance sedans, yet it's been 17 years since
we've offered one, said Mark Reuss,
president of General Motors North
America. The all-new Chevrolet SS fills
that void and fills it better than any other
vehicle in the brands rich history. The
comfort, convenience, spaciousness and
V-8 power make the SS a total perform-
ance package unlike any other on the
road today.
The Chevrolet SS benefits from the
proven, race-tested, global rear-wheel
drive architecture that is the foundation
for the Camaro, Caprice Police Patrol
Vehicle and Holdens VF Commodore.
The Chevrolet SS is powered by the LS3
Chevrolet V-8, expected to deliver 415
horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Also
used in the 2013 Chevrolet Corvette, the
LS3 displaces 6.2 liters, more than the
5.5-liter V-8 powering the Chevrolet SS
NASCAR competitors. The LS3 is mar-
ried to a six-speed automatic transmis-
sion, which can be shifted manually
using TAPshift paddles mounted on the
steering wheel. With an aggressive 3.27
final-drive ratio, the Chevrolet SS accel-
erates from 0 to 60 mph in about five
seconds making it one of the quickest
sedans on the market.
To ensure that it turns and stops as
well as it accelerates; the Chevrolet SS
also features a sport-tuned chassis,
including:
- MacPherson strut front and multilink
independent rear suspension geometry
- Electronic power steering system,
optimized for sport driving
- Standard Brembo brakes, with venti-
lated, 355-mm rotors and two-piece,
four-piston front calipers
- Forged aluminum wheels, wrapped
in ultra-high-performance Bridgestone
tires: 19 x 8.5 inch wheels with
245/40ZR19 tires in front; 19 x 9.0 inch
wheels with 275/35ZR19 tires rear
Handling is also improved by a near
50/50 weight distribution, and a low cen-
ter of gravity made possible in part by
the aluminum hood and rear deck lid
that are 30 percent lighter than tradition-
al steel panels.
Our goal was to create a car that
delivers incredible grip and handling
balance while cornering, while still being
comfortable to drive on the road, said
David Leone, executive chief engineer
GM global programs. The perfect
weight balance and lower center of grav-
ity were a big part of that goal because it
enabled the team to tune for a more
comfortable highway ride without sacri-
ficing handling or driver confidence
while cornering at the limits.
Similarly, the design of the SS blends
performance cues and premium details.
From every angle, the Chevrolet SS
says power and performance, said John
Cafaro design director Chevrolet passen-
ger cars and small crossovers. The com-
bination of an aggressive rear-wheel
drive stance and body-side attitude with
the right balance of detail and refine-
ment inside and out are the perfect
home for Chevrolets V-8 performance
package.
The spacious interior of the SS will
comfortably accommodate five adults,
with 42 inches of front legroom, and 39
inches of rear legroom. Leather seating
surfaces are standard, as are eight-way
power adjustable front bucket seats with
additional side bolstering that hug the
driver and front passenger in tight-han-
dling situations. The SS emblem is
prominently stitched onto the soft-touch
instrument panel which features two
types of chrome finishes a satin gloss
and a bright chrome. At night, the inte-
rior is illuminated by ice blue ambient
lighting.
The SS is also the first Chevrolet to
offer Automatic Parking Assist, which
provides hands-free parking help. This
efficient hands-free parking assistant
uses the ultrasonic sensing system to
detect the width and depth of either par-
allel or reverse right-angle parking
spaces. While the driver controls the
throttle, transmission, and brake, the
Automatic Parking Assist controls the
steering inputs necessary to neatly park
the Chevrolet SS.
The 2014 Chevrolet SS will be available
in the fourth quarter of 2013, with prices
set closer to the on-sale date. When it
arrives in showrooms, the SS will join the
Corvette and Camaro, whose combined
sales have made Chevrolet Americas
favorite performance brand for the last
two years.

This weeks feature listing is an extraordi-
nary find. Situated along 100 feet of
Cheboygan River frontage, right at the start
of northern Lower Michigans famous Inland
Waterway, this beautifully designed and con-
structed ranch home is truly a diamond cast
in the perfect setting.
The four bedroom, three bath home has
just over 3,000 square feet of living space on
the main and finished walkout levels, featur-
ing a host of wonderful amenities through-
out. Among those interior highlights are a
gorgeous kitchen with walnut cabinetry and
granite countertops, a great room with beau-
tiful stone fireplace, master suite with invit-
ing jetted tub, family room with wood-burn-
ing stove, and simply stunning views of the
river from every main living area.
The just a smidge under half-acre lot slopes gen-
tly to the river, where an L shaped dock waits for
boat docking as well as a great place to launch for
a refreshing swim. The property also includes an
inground sprinkler system, stone firepit, and there

Energy Saving
Tips: Heat
Preservation
Compliments of Ed
Wohlfiel
Most homeowners arent
aware that there are dozens
of ways their homes are
leaking air. Air leaks can
drastically affect the
homes heating and cooling
system, forcing it to run more often than it
would if these leaks were plugged. By not
addressing and repairing these leaks, you can
realistically expect to pay higher utility bills
all year long.
But why shell out the money if you dont
have to? As youll see, these problems are so
easy to fix that any do-it-yourselfer can finish
the job over the course of a weekend. In this
article, well point out several ways your
home might be leaking air and how to fix
them so you can preserve the heat this winter.
Tools and Materials
Measuring tape
Utility knife
Duct tape
Foam insulation strips
Silicone caulk
Spray foam insulation
Water heater blanket insulation
Fiberglass pipe wrap
Electrical outlet insulators
Pipe sleeve insulation
Foil-backed bubble wrap
Safety Tip
Some of these jobs may place you in dusty
or dirty areas of the home or in areas where
you will come into contact with fiberglass
insulation. Always wear eye goggles, a quality
air mask and work gloves when in these areas.
Also, if you are working with fiberglass insula-
tion, wearing long pants and a long-sleeved
shirt is recommended.
Step 1: Seal Outlet Boxes on Outside Walls
Receptacle and switch boxes that are
installed on outside walls have gaps which
allow the heat in your home to pass right
through. Remove the cover plates and slip a
pre-cut electrical outlet foam insulator over
the receptacle or switch and then re-install
the cover plate. This will help seal the box off
and prevent air from escaping.
For even greater heat-loss prevention, fill
in the hole where the wires enter the outlet
box with silicone caulk before installing the
insulator.
Step 2: Insulate Ventilation Ducts
If you have ventilation ducts in your attic,
they may be leaking air which will cause them
to form condensation. To prevent this, wrap
the ventilation ducts with thin batts of fiber-
glass insulation.
Step 3: Check Windows for Drafts
Leaky windows are perhaps the most com-
mon culprit in the fight for heat preservation.
Check your windows for any drafty spots. If
you find your windows are drafty, remove the
casing and fill in all of the gaps with pieces of
fiberglass insulation. For very thin gaps, push
the insulation in the gap using a paint stirrer
or some other thin, long tool.
Step 4: Check the Pipes
Check your plumbing and gas lines for
gaps, especially where they are run through
walls. Take a can of spray foam insulation and
fill in these gaps. Be careful you dont over-
spray an area, however; as this insulation
expands tremendously.
Step 5: Insulate the Water Heater
If your water heater sits in a colder part of
the house, like the basement, the surround-
ing chilly air could be sucking the heat out of
the tank. To maximize the tanks heat preser-
vation, you should install a water heater insu-
lation blanket over it. Follow the manufactur-
ers instructions when installing the blanket
kit in order to ensure the best results.
Step 6: Wrap Exposed Pipes
Copper plumbing pipes can freeze easily in
the winter and sweat notoriously in the sum-
mer. To help prevent this, wrap every inch of
exposed pipe with either pre-formed foam
pipe sleeves or pipe wrap insulation. Secure
the insulation with duct tape to prevent it
from falling off.
Step 7: Seal and Wrap Duct-work
If you have exposed duct-work in your
basement or attic, wrap the ducts with paper-
backed insulation or foil-backed bubble
wrap. Use spray foam insulation to seal
around the ducts wherever they pass through
ceilings, walls and the roof.
