PETOSKEY The Petoskey

boys are just perfect. Still.
The Northmen of coach
Dennis Starkey pushed their
undefeated mark this season
to 9-0 and 4-0 in the Big
North with a pair of work-
manlike victories last week.
On Tuesday, Jan. 15,
Petoskey used super pressure
in the second half to pull
away for a 53-36 win at home
over game-but-outmanned
Charlevoix. On Friday, Jan.
18, the Northmen enter-
tained Alpena and secured a
63-43 decision in the league
clash.
Not only did the two wins
keep Petoskey percolating
and perfect this season, it
also propelled Petoskeys
consecutive win streak at
home to a whopping 49 in a
row.
The win over Charlevoix
didnt come as easily as the
final score might make it
appear. The Rayders hustled
and played hard and did
enough things defensively to
keep Petoskey out of sync in
the first two quarters and
keep the game close.
The Northmen found
themselves trailing 21-20 at
the half, a very unfamiliar
place to be on the home
floor, and they came out fly-
ing in the third quarter, play-
ing with a passion and pur-
pose that sometimes didnt
show in the first 16 minutes
of play.
The Northmen, who no
doubt received some verbal
inspiration from coach
Starkey during intermission,
outscored the visitors 27-8 in
the third quarter to take con-
trol of things.
The long arms and heady
play of Erik Davenport
helped fuel the second-half
surge. Erik finished what
turned out to be a productive
night with 18 points, includ-
ing a dial-it-up connection
from long distance, and sen-
ior guard Sam Baumgartner,
dependable as the times
tables this season, was in
bust-out mode as well, scor-
ing seven of his 17 points in
the decisive third quarter.
Senior Quinn Ameel added
eight points, all from the
floor, and Lights Out Louie
Lamberti and Shea Whitmore
each helped the cause with
twine-jumping shots from
beyond the arc. Reliable Joe
LeBlanc brought down four
rebounds and brought in
four points. Lamberti locked
onto five rebounds.
Sawyer Russell struck for
10 to lead the visiting
Rayders (5-2) while Zach
Hankins hit for eight and
Charlie Hamilton for seven.
Tanner Catt contributed six.
The Petoskey JV also won,
outscoring the Rayders 60-
55. Jason Bur was a Beast for
the young Northmen, bust-
ing the nets for 17 points, and
Parker Monley helped put
the offense into overdrive
with his 15 points.
Petoskey edged the
Rayders 58-21 in the fresh-
men game as Brendan Smith
smote the iron for 15 points
and Peter Crittenden cracked
the rim for 12.
IN THE win over Alpena on
Friday, it was Mr. Davenport
doing more damage down
low for the Northmen in the
20-point win. Davenport
delivered the goods, making
the net dance to the tune of a
team-high 15 points to lead
another balanced scoring
assault.
Shea Whitmore added
some high octane to the
attack off the bench, waxing
the nets for 14 points.
Baumgartner blistered the
twine for 13 and LeBlanc did
the usual J-Lab launching
from the floor, landing a
dozen points through the
rim.
Quinn Ameel, who does
many of the important, pro-
ductive things away from the
ball that dont always show
up on the stat sheet, queued
in for eight points.
Tyler Pintar put 16 on the
board for the Wildcats, who
slipped to 5-2 and 2-3, and
angular Luke Cordes con-
nected for 15.
The Petoskey JV improved
to 6-3 with a 52-36 triumph
over the
Wildcats. Jason
Bur spurred the
offense, as usual,
burying 15
points, and Evan
Whitmore added
some whack of
his own, scoring 12.
Petoskey (9-0, 4-0) put its
unbeaten mark on the line at
Gaylord on Tuesday, Jan. 22,
after this issue went to press.
The Northmen go for 50 in a
row when they return home
on Friday, Jan. 25, to face
Cadillac in a huge league
showdown.

POSEN It was another
good night for the Mio boys
and a night that Micah
Thomey of the Thunderbolts
will always remember.
The Mio boys made it nine
in a row on Friday, Jan. 18,
outscoring host Posen 74-36
in a North Star League clash.
Thomey surpassed the 1,000-
point scoring plateau in his
stellar four-year varsity
career during the game. He
hit for 13 points to go with
nine assists and four boards
in his history-making night.
As a team, Mio was hotter
than a Texas prairie in August
from the charity stripe, hit-
ting a whopping 20-of-26
attempts in the game.
Colton McGregor pulled
the trigger on 14 points and
Dennis Kann III canned 11 to
join Micah in double digits.
Big Ben Lubitz and Bryce
DeGrammont delivered 10
points apiece to help the
Thunderbolt cause and Seth
Thomey helped make it all
possible with his pinpoint,
surgical passes as he record-
ed six assists. Tommy Vaughn
was a vacuum down low,
grabbing five rebounds.
Nick Kincka connected for
19 points to lead Posen (4-5,
2-5) and Travis Sharpe struck
for 10.
ON TUESDAY, Jan. 15, the
Thunderbolts defeated
Tawas 46-41.
Point guard Seth Thomey
twirled the twine for 14
points to lead another bal-
anced scoring assault and he
also made everyone around
him better, recording eight
assists.
Aaron Georgieff with 11
points and Big Ben Lubitz
with 10 were also in double
figures and Bryce
DeGrammont put the grab
on six rebounds.
Chaz Coffin was deadly
from the floor, hitting for 13
to lead Tawas.
Mio, which improved to 9-
0 and 7-0 in the league,
played at Hale on Tuesday,
Jan. 22, after this issue went
to press. On Friday, Jan. 25,
Mio plays host to league foe
Atlanta and on Monday, Jan.
28, the Thunderbolts are
home again against Lincoln-
Alcona.
Thome hits milestone in Mio victor

GAYLORD Inland Lakes
senior guard Dakotah
Davedowski, calm as a wind-
less sea, made three straight
free throws in the final sec-
onds to give the Bulldogs a
super-tense, come-from-
behind 46-45 victory at the
court of Gaylord St. Mary on
Thursday, Jan. 17.
Jubilant I-Lakes coach Joe
Mahoney lauded
Davidowskis eerily calm
demeanor with the game on
the line. Dakotahs deliveries
from the charity stripe gave
the Bulldogs their first victo-
ry of the season.
It was a heartbreaking loss
for the Snowbirds, who ral-
lied from 18-12, 24-23 and
39-35 deficits at the quarter
breaks to finally overtake the
determined Bulldogs late in
the contest.
An old-fashioned three-
point play from angular jun-
ior forward Charles Strehl
gave the Snowbirds their first
lead of the game, 44-43, with
less than 40 seconds remain-
ing.
Nick Harrington added a
point to the lead with a free
throw with 11 seconds to go,
putting the Bulldogs two
points behind on their final
possession.
Davedowski went for the
win with the final buzzer
sounding, launching a shot
from beyond the arc. The
shot was off the mark but the
refs ruled that Davedowski
was fouled.
Dakotah, who had a splen-
did game for the victors, did-
nt go south with the game
on the line, nailing all three
free throws to give the
Bulldogs the tense, dramatic
victory.
Davedowski made the net
dance to the tune of 22
points in the contest to lead
the battling Bulldogs.
Trench-tough Todd Athey
tallied 12 while Richard
Armbruster hit for eight and
Nick Howery hit for six as I-
Lakes improved to 1-7 and 1-
6 in the league.
Strehl struck for 20 points
to pace the Snowbirds of
coach Ken Blust. Pat
OConnor, who was com-
mended by Blust for playing
a smart game, connected
for nine points.
Willy Canfield canned four
points, as did hard-nosed
senior forward Nick
Lochinski and Harrington.
ON TUESDAY, Jan. 15, the
Snowbirds played host to
surging Mancelona and took
the Ironmen to the wire in a
tough 60-55 defeat.
OConnor, Lochinski and
Strehl led a very balanced St.
Mary attack with 10 points
apiece. OConnor also col-
lected four steals with his
aggressive defense and
Strehl secured five rebounds.
Matt Spyhalski produced
nine points with four steals.
Cameron Juneac put some
jolt into the attack with eight
points and the silky-smooth
Harrington also tallied eight.
St. Mary was down 17
points at the half before
storming back to make a
game of it in the second half.
I challenged my guys to
get after them at halftime
and that challenge was final-
ly accepted in the fourth
quarter, Blust reported. I
thought our energy was defi-
nitely there, causing
turnovers and converting.
We had our chance to close
out the game, yet a couple
missed rebounds gave
Mancelona extra life, and we
just couldn't finish out."
Blust was especially
pleased with the defensive
effort of Harrington guard-
ing Mancelonas prolific
sophomore scorer Brandon
Dingman.
Davedowski drains late free throws to lift visiting Bulldogs to razor-thin
victory at Gaylord

GAYLORD The stage was
set perfectly for the rematch
between Ski Valley powers
Johannesburg-Lewiston and
Gaylord St. Mary that took
place on Tuesday, Jan. 22, in
the Snowbirds gym. The
game was played after this
issue of the Weekly Choice
went to press.
St. Mary was seeking to
reverse the narrow 50-48
defeat at the hands of the
Cardinals in the first meeting
between the teams at
Johannesburg on Dec. 12.
Much was riding on the
outcome of the game, which
also served as the annual
Rivals Rally for the Cure
fundraiser for breast cancer
research. Each year the
Cardinals and Snowbirds
square off in the Rivals
Rally game, switching the
venue each time.
St. Mary went into the
game with an 11-2 overall
record and 8-1 in the league
after a 72-23 decision over
Forest Area on Friday. The
state-ranked Cardinals were
12-0 overall and 9-0 in the Ski
Valley going into the game.
The Snowbirds needed to
win to remain in contention
for the league title and possi-
bly forge a co-championship
with J-L. The Cardinals need-
ed to win to maintain a stran-
glehold on the top spot in the
conference standings and
pave the way for sole posses-
sion of the 2013 SVC title.
ST. MARY flexed its consid-
erable offensive muscles in
the decisive win over Forest
Area. Junior sharpshooter
Kari Borowiak blistered the
nets for 19 points and gave a
strong all-around perform-
ance, also recording seven
rebounds and six assists.
Senior backcourt mate
Chrissy Smith struck for 14
points and provided surgical-
ly precise passes to help
teammates score, notching
seven assists.
Long-armed Mary
Spyhalski hit for 10 points
and fighting freshman Bekah
Myler muscled her way to 11
points and six rebounds.
Emily Gonyer grabbed 10
points for the Warriors.
THE Johannesburg-
Lewiston, meanwhile, posted
back-to-back victories over
Onaway and Pellston in the
games leading up to the St.
Mary rematch.
The Cardinals outscored
visiting Onaway 70-27 on
Wednesday, Jan. 16, as league
teams started playing each
other the second time
around. On Friday, the
Cardinals outscored scrappy
Pellston 63-31.
Hailey Weaver waxed the
nets for 16 points to lead the
way for the host Cardinals in
the win over Onaway. Senior
Abby Schlicher struck for 12
points to go with four assists
and five rebounds and
Brittney Cherwinski churned
the twine for 11 points with
four assists.
Katelyn Weaver helped the
cause with eight points and
Julia Nieman recorded six
assists. The long arms of
Hannah Huff accounted for
eight rebounds and fresh-
man Maddie Showerman
pulled down five, as did
McKenzie Matthewson.
Erika Price plugged the
iron for six points to lead the
visiting Cardinals of coach
Marty Mix. Senior forward
Megan Estep added five.
In the win over Pellston, it
was Acetylene Abby torch-
ing the twine for 17 points
and grabbing five boards to
lead the Cardinals. Abby was
also a fearsome force on
defense, acquiring six steals.
Angular senior forward
Emma Dunham collected 14
points and seven rebounds
for pesky Pellston, which
scored 21 of its 31 points in
the second half. Tall Tori
Kirsch tallied seven points
for the Hornets and grabbed
10 rebounds in the hard-
fought defeat.
After the J-L game, St. Mary
was on the road against
Onaway on Thursday, Jan. 24,
and on the road against
Bellaire in a rare Saturday
clash on Jan. 26. The JV tip-
off for that one was slated for
5 p.m.
After playing St. Mary, J-L
was home on Thursday, Jan.
24, against Forest Area and
then home on Tuesday, Jan.
29, against Bellaire. On
Tuesday, Feb. 5, the Cardinals
are home against Inland
Lakes.

GAYLORD The scrappy,
blue-collar Blue Devils of
coach Tim ORourke used
heart and hustle to stay with
high-powered Big North foe
Cadillac for the first quarter
and most of the first half on
Thursday, Jan. 17.
Gaylord led 9-8 in the first
quarter and trailed just 26-19
at halftime but in the third
and fourth quarters the visit-
ing Vikings pulled away more
and more on the scoreboard,
eventually securing a 56-30
victory.
Cadillac improved to 8-2
overall and 3-2 in the Big
North while Gaylord, coming
off the impressive victory at
Grayling in the previous out-
ing, slipped to 1-9 overall and
0-4 in the league.
Hardworking senior guard
Tyler Cherry churned the
nets for seven points to lead
the Blue Devils. Leland Huey
landed five points through
the iron, as did determined
James Dunn. Senior guard
Tyler Frisch, who has been
Gaylords leading scorer all
season, drew Cadillac
defenders like magnets and
was limited to five points.
The Vikings also did a good
job of keeping the Blue
Devils dangerous forward
Zach Lundell under wraps.
Bryan Rabine brought a
high-octane effort off the
bench.
Ben Mackey made 16
points to pace Cadillac and
Nick Paquet put 13 through
the iron.
The Gaylord JV lost a close
one to the Vikings, 54-52.
Blayne Baker blistered the
nets for the Blue Devils and
Marcus ORourke and Sam
Rinke sparked a second-half
comeback with their swarm-
ing, aggressive play.
Gaylord played host to
undefeated Petoskey on
Tuesday, Jan. 22, after this
issue went to press. The Blue
Devils go north to take on St.
Ignace on Tuesday, Jan. 29,
and return home on Tuesday,
Jan. 31, against Big North foe
Ogemaw Heights.
By Mike Dunn
girls of coach Adam
Dobrowolski won back-to-
back Big North Conference
games on Monday and
Friday and it was the familiar
names leading the way once
again.
Seniors Kelsey Ance and
Megan Tompkins added to
their growing laurels this sea-
son with two typically effec-
tive performances against
Alpena and Gaylord. The
potent 1-2 punch of the
strong-armed seniors, com-
bined with the efficient, fluid
play of reliable senior Alyssa
VanWerden along with key
contributions from Kati
Lewis, Liz Fraser and others,
enabled Petoskey to outscore
Alpena 62-24 on Friday and
outscore visiting Gaylord 59-
46 on Monday.
The 6-foot-3 Tompkins
cast a long shadow in the
hard-fought win over
Gaylord as she did a Wow!
number on the Windex, gath-
ering in 10 rebounds under
the glass and blocking six
Blue Devil shots. She also
scored a team-high 19 points
for a double-double as
Petoskey won its seventh
straight game to improve to
10-2 overall and 6-1 in the Big
North.
Ance, a sturdy two-way
performer at wing, had
another solid stat line: 18
points, six rebounds, six
assists.
VanWerden and Lewis
each launched six points
from the backcourt and did a
great job distributing the
wealth as the Northmen reg-
istered 15 assists in the con-
test. Liz Fraser fired in a big
3-pointer after Gaylord got
close in the fourth quarter.
Gaylord scrapped, clawed
and battled, like always, but
fell behind early and could
never quite climb out of the
hole.
The Blue Devils lethal
lefty, senior wing Mackenzie
Edwards, led all scorers in the
contest. Mighty Mac put the
whack into the Blue Devil
attack once again, taming the
twine for a game-high 21
points.
Edwards driving layup at
the outset of the fourth quar-
ter brought the visiting Blue
Devils within five points, 44-
39, but that was as close as
they would get as Petoskey
responded the way the good
teams do, pulling away down
the stretch.
Senior forward Alex
Simmons struck for 12 points
to join Mackenzie in double
digits.
The win gave Petoskey a
sweep of the Blue Devils this
season. Petoskey also won at
Gaylord 43-25 in early
December.
The Blue Devils captured
the JV contest 27-14. The
young Blue Devils of coach
Slammin Shelly Curtis
improved to 10-1 with the
win. Brandi Wagner wired in
for eight points and Lindsey
Zaremba zoned in for eight
also. Cierra Woods supplied
the lumber inside and scored
six.
Katrina Daniel stood tall
for the Petoskey JV, rejecting
seven shots and grabbing six
boards, and Megan Sysko
wasnt kidding either, putting
her stamp on six rebounds
with four blocked shots.
Petoskey won the fresh-
men game 21-16 as Jenny
Tompkins and Jillian
Piotrowski each plugged the
iron for six points.
ON FRIDAY, Petoskey won
its sixth straight with a work-
manlike 62-24 victory over
visiting Big North foe Alpena.
It was another big night for
versatile senior forward
Kelsey Ance, who connected
for 24 points to go with six
rebounds, four assists and
four steals as the Northmen
tamed the Wildcats.
Long-armed senior post
Megan Tompkins blocked six
Alpena shots in the contest
while scoring 16 and pulling
down nine rebounds. Fellow
senior Alyssa VanWerden tal-
lied six, including a pretty
deuce on a breakaway.
Christina Kollien scored 12
for Alpena.
The Sysko Kid came up
big for the Petoskey JV
against Alpena but it was the
Wildcats who prevailed in a
thriller, 46-41. Megan Sysko
made a double-double with
18 points and 13 boards
while Shelby Laser locked in
for seven points with four
steals and strong-armed
Sarah Yankoviak yanked
down six rebounds.
Petoskey (10-2, 6-1) has a

PETOSKEY The Gaylord
freshmen girls battled hard
from start to finish but fell a
tad short in a tough scrap
with Big North foe Petoskey,
bowing by a 21-16 score.
Maddy Sides made the
nets swim while securing
seven points to lead the bat-
tling Blue Devils and Briana
Hartley hammered the iron
for six. Ariveara Piehl and
Alaina Taylor each totaled
two points and Alicia Slocum
scored one. Arica Alread was
awesome on defense, report-

MACKINAW CITY The
Mackinaw City girls of coach
Adam Stefanski faced a stiff
test from U.P. foe Engadine
on Thursday, Jan. 17, and the
girls were equal to the task,
defeating the visitors 61-54.
The Comets pushed their
record to 9-2 overall with the
hard-fought win.
Slick, savvy senior guard
Courtney Wallis cranked up
the octane on the Comet
attack, assaulting the enemy
iron with a barrage of shots
and scoring a game-high 27
points to go with 10
rebounds.
Feisty freshman Cyclone
Chelsey Closs made the
twine twitch to the tune of 18
points and hauled in 10
rebounds for a double-dou-
ble. Junior Brooke Yoder
added bounce to the offense
as well, hitting for nine
points.
Coach Stefanski also com-
mended the high-energy
efforts of Blaine Yoder and
Cassie LaLonde off the
bench.
Mack City played at
DeTour on Tuesday, Jan. 22,
after this issue went to press.
On Thursday, Jan. 24, the

CHEBOYGAN -- The St.
Ignace girls showed once
again why theyre undefeated
and ranked No. 1 in the state
in an impressive 62-24 victo-
ry over host Cheboygan on
Friday.
The Chiefs of coach Jason
Purcell actually got off to a
pretty good start, holding a
10-8 advantage on the score-
board in the early going. The
Saints began to percolate
after that, however, and
pulled away.
Junior guard Kelley Wright,
a terror for opposing defens-
es all season long, scored 29
to lead the Saints, who
improved to 11-0 and 5-0 in
the Straits Area Conference.
The game-but-outmanned
Chiefs slipped to 7-4 and 2-3.
It didnt help the
Cheboygan cause that
starters Holly Socolovitch
and Macey Charboneau got
into early foul trouble.
Scrappy sophomore guard
Brooke Hancock paced the
Chiefs with eight points,
including two connections
from 3-point land. Senior
Mariah Rozek and junior
Mariah Kane each rang up
four points.
There was good news for
the Chiefs in the JV clash as
the Cheboygan took a 33-29
win. The Chiefs added plenty
of Vitamin C to their attack,
as Carolyn Clark connected
for nine points to help her
team push its record to a
respectable 8-3. Hannah
Hudak hit for six points, as
did Kaitlin Dobrowolski.
Cheboygan plays host to
Newberry this Friday, Jan. 25.

WOLVERINE The host
Wildcats clawed, scrapped

tough 30-28 victory over
Grand Traverse Academy in
overtime on Friday.
Gabbi Ogden put much of
the Ouch into the offense,
tickling the twine for a game-
high 14 points to lead
Wolverine. Brandi Whittaker
blistered the nets for 10
points to help the Wildcats,
who improved to 3-6.
The game was tied at 28 at
the end of regulation. Tammy
Heintz and Whittaker each
connected for a free throw to
account for all the scoring in
the extra session.

By Mike Dunn
CADILLAC The Gaylord
girls of coach Frank Hamilla
slipped to 4-7 overall and 1-4
in the Big North with a pair of
tough losses in Big North
play on Friday and Monday.
On Friday, the Blue Devils
staged a furious fourth-quar-
ter rally to test talented
Cadillac but the rally fell just
short as the host Vikings
pulled one out of the fire, 46-
45.
On Monday, the girls suf-
fered a 59-46 loss at the court
of the Northmen.
In Fridays game at
Cadillac, Gaylord was down
12 points early in the fourth
quarter before storming back
to take a 45-44 lead with 9
seconds remaining when
senior scrapper Alex
Simmons sank a driving
layup.
Abby Fuller of Cadillac
went to the line and drained
both free throws to put the
Vikings on top 46-45 with 4
seconds to go. The Blue
Devils were able to get the
ball up the floor and get a
shot off as the buzzer sound-
ed but the shot rolled tanta-
lizingly around the rim
before falling harmlessly out.
It was a tough loss but
Gaylord played tough on the
road against a very good
Cadillac squad.
We played great half-
court defense throughout the
game, coach Hamilla
reported. I was very happy
with our effort and how we
are moving in the right direc-
tion. We can take a lot of pos-
itives out of this game.
Once again it was Mighty
Mac helping to bridge the
gap on the scoreboard for
Gaylord. Senior Mackenzie
Edwards made the net dance
to the tune of 19 points to
lead the Blue Devils and the
hardworking Simmons
struck for 13 to join her in
double figures.
Joltin junior guard Maddie
Hamilla hit for seven points
and Sarah Perpetual
Motion Polena put five on
the board to go with four
assists and four steals.
Chelsea Fox was sly under
the glass, grabbing nine
rebounds.
The Gaylord JV of
Slammin Shelly Curtis came
up big again, earning a 30-25
victory over the Vikings after
falling behind 19-18 at the
half.
We came out in the third
and played great man-to-
man and zone defense,
reported coach Curtis. We
played great as a team; every-
one contributed as a team. It
was a great confidence
builder for us.
Brandi Wagner blistered
the nets for 13 points and
limber Lindsey Zaremba
zoned in for seven.
ON MONDAY, in the loss at
Petoskey, Mac made a game-
high 21 points and helped
fuel a second-half comeback
that brought the Blue Devils
within five points early in the
fourth quarter.
Alexandra was great, too,
as she struck for 12 points,
including a ringing 3-pointer
to bring Gaylord within eight
points midway through the
final quarter.
Megan Tompkins made 19
points for the Northmen with
10 boards and seven blocked
shots and fellow senior
Kelsey Ance connected for 18
with six rebounds and six
assists.
Gaylord won the JV clash
27-14 to improve to 10-1 this
season. Brandi Wagner
waxed the twine for eight
points to help lead the way
for coach Curtiss troops and
Lindsey Zaremba added her
own zip and zap to the
attack, scoring eight. Cierra
Woods was strong as a cedar,
as usual, scoring six.
Gaylord (4-7, 1-4) is off for
a while. The Blue Devil next
play at Ogemaw Heights on
Friday, Feb. 1, and entertain
Traverse City Central on
Tuesday, Feb. 5.

MANCELONA The
Mancelona boys of coach
Rick Duerksen traveled to
hostile courts at Gaylord St.
Mary on Tuesday, Jan. 15, and
at Johannesburg-Lewiston
on Thursday, Jan. 17, and
came away with two more
league victories.
The Ironmen improved to
7-2 overall and 6-0 in the
league with the wins. They
played at home on Tuesday,
Jan. 22, against Inland Lakes
and are slated to go to
unbeaten Bellaire this Friday,
Jan. 25, in a much-anticipat-
ed SVC showdown.
In the win at Gaylord, the
Ironmen forged a 54-34 lead
after three quarters and were
forced to hold off a furious
fourth-quarter rally by the
Snowbirds before securing a
hard-fought 60-55 decision.
Junior big man Brandon
Scott was a bruising force
down low for the Ironmen as
he generated 20 points and
pulled down six rebounds.
Senior guard Wyatt Derrer
waxed the nets for 12 points
while super-slick sophomore
wing Brandon B-Ding
Dingman delivered a double-
double, making the twine
twitch to the tune of 12
points and hauling in 11
rebounds to help the Mancy
cause. He also had four
assists
Griffin Borst generated
nine points and had a strong
all-around performance,
grabbing six rebounds and
making three steals.
Pat OConnor, Nick
Lochinski and Charles Strehl
each struck for 10 points to
lead the Snowbirds balanced
scoring attack, and Matt
Spyhalski spanked the twine
for nine while Nick
Harrington and Cameron
Juneac each hit for eight.
The long-armed Strehl also
pulled down five rebounds
and the hard-nosed
Lochinski had four.
OConnor and Spyhalski
sparked the defense, each
recording four steals.
At halftime we were down
17 and I challenged my guys
to get after them and step it
up, reported St. Mary coach
Ken Blust. That challenge
was finally accepted in the
fourth. I thought our energy
was definitely there, causing
turnovers and converting. We
had our chance to close out
the game, yet a couple
missed rebounds gave
Mancelona extra life, and we
just couldn't finish out.
ON THURSDAY, the
Ironmen prevailed at J-L in
overtime, 66-64.
Dingman made the net
spin from the charity stripe
in the extra session to help
carry the Ironmen to the
tense victory. B-Ding went
11-of-15 from the line in the
game and scored a whopping
41 points against the
Cardinals. He also pulled
down 13 boards for a decisive
double-double.
Logan Borst did his usual
blue-collar battling from the
backcourt. He scored 10 for
the Ironmen with five
rebounds and three assists.
Freshman phenom Logan
Huff was lights out again
from the perimeter as he
launched 18 points to lead
the Cardinals in the tough
home loss. Cam Nickert and
Jake Newell each added jolt
to the J-L attack, scoring 16
apiece. Coalton Huff hit for
five points and dished off five
assists.
J-L (4-5, 3-4) played host to
Onaway on Wednesday, Jan.
23. On Friday, they are home
against Pellston and on
Monday, Jan. 28, home
against Atlanta.
After playing at Bellaire on
Friday, Jan. 25, the Ironmen
play at Ellsworth on Monday,
Jan. 28.

TRAVERSE CITY It was a
tough weekend.
Because of a December
postponement, the Gaylord
hockey team was forced to
go to Traverse City on back-
to-back days to face potent
Big North foes T.C. West and
then T.C. Central.
On Friday, Jan. 18, the
Blue Devils fell to West 5-0
and on Saturday they lost to
Central 6-1.
The game with West was
just 1-0 after the first period
before the Titans pulled
away with a four-goal bar-
rage in the second period,
including two power play
goals.
The Titans had eight
power plays in the game and
Gaylord had two. The Blue
Devil special teamers were
kept busy but were effective
for the most part, keeping
West off the scoreboard in
six-of-eight power play tries.
Peter Lawton was in the
nets for Gaylord and, if not
for his effort, the game
would have been more lop-
sided. He stopped 34 of a
whopping 40 shots by the
Titans.
Gaylord had eight shots
on net in the contest.
ON SATURDAY afternoon,
the Blue Devils bounced
back from the rough game
the night before with West to
give Central a competitive,
spirited battle, especially
through the first two peri-
ods.
The Blue Devils were play-
ing without the services of
reliable Seth Muzyl (shoul-
der injury) and Blake Miller
(shoulder injury) and Trevor
Raymond but still made the
Trojans fight for the win.
Robb Hansen took his
turn as the fourth Blue Devil
defenseman and turned in a
whale of an effort.
Mitch Lawton lit the lamp
for Gaylord for what proved
to be the only time during
the weekend. Missile
Mitch launched a laser that
sizzled past the sprawling
Trojan goaltender and made
the twine dance in the back
of the net. Sam Black, a pupil
of Gaylords School of
Sock, added the assist to his
typical blue-collar effort.
The score was just 2-1 in
favor of Central after two
periods. The Blue Devils
held their own territorially
for the first two periods
before simply running out of
gas in the third.
As longtime Gaylord
announcer Wayne
Goodman right noted, if the
Blue Devils continue to give
that kind of effort in the sec-
ond half of the season, there
will be a few Ws appearing
on the ledger.
The Blue Devils played at
Cadillac on Wednesday, Jan.
23. On Friday, Jan. 25,
Gaylord entertains T.C. West
and on Saturday, Jan. 26, the
Blue Devils play at St. Marys
of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
Gaylord hustles, works hard in losses to West,
Central; effort with limited roster in Central
game is encouraging

ST. IGNACE Cheboygan
bounced back big time from
the disheartening loss to
Alpena a few days before,
going to the court of St.
Ignace and sinking the Saints
70-66 in a key Straits Area
Conference clash.
Juniors Luke Harrington
and Ben Petroleum
Pearson both oiled the nets
for a team-high 16 points and
senior Jordan Fontaine fired
in 14 as Cheboygan put up a
blistering, balanced assault
on the iron. Senior forward
Jack Schott also helped the
cause with his gritty play in
the paint, pulling down a
team-high 10 rebounds in
the physical contest and also
scoring eight.
Junior Nik Bevier brought
down five rebounds and
busted the nets for six points
and Andrew Dixon also deliv-
ered six points. Senior point
guard Damon Proctor helped
engineer the unselfish
Cheboygan attack with his
floor generalship and his pre-
cision passing. He recorded
four assists.
In the JV game, it was Trent
Jarman and Brady Hiller
helping the Chiefs to an
impressive 65-45 triumph.
Trent was T.J. Max from the
floor, tagging the twine for a
team-high 18 points, and
Hiller hit for 14. Zach Socha
added some zap of his own,
striking for nine points, and
Liam McNeil made eight as
the young Chiefs pushed
their record to 4-4.
Cheboygan (5-3) travels to
Newberry on Friday, Jan. 25.
Alanson 69
Mackinaw City 66
MACKINAW CITY
Visiting Alanson pulled away
in the final minutes to earn a
tense 69-66 decision over
host Mackinaw City on
Tuesday, Jan. 15, in Northern
Lakes Conference play.
Viking freshman Brett
Williams gunned a clutch 3-
pointer with a little more
than a minute to play to
break a 62-62 tie and give the
visitors a lead they would not
relinquish.
Williams finished a pro-
ductive night with 22 points,
burying the ball from 3-point
range six times in the con-
test. Max Oom added some
zoom to the offense as well,
hitting for 16 points, and
Kody Wicker waxed the twine
for 11 points. It was the sec-
ond straight win for Alanson.
Junior guard Noah Morse
nailed 23 points for Mack
City and sweet-shooting
sophomore Caleb Jaggi
jammed the iron for 15
points. Fellow sophomore
Jonah Robbins rang up nine
points.
Mack City played at
DeTour on Wednesday, Jan.
23, and at Wolverine on
Friday, Jan. 25. On Monday,
Jan. 28, the Comets are home
against Harbor Light
Christian.
Alanson played at Alba on
Wednesday, Jan. 23, and on
Friday, Jan. 25, the Vikings
are home against Ellsworth.
Bellaire 75
Onaway 35
ONAWAY Ninth-ranked,
unbeaten Bellaire had too
much firepower for host
Onaway on Thursday, Jan. 17.
The Eagles improved to 7-0
and 5-0 in the Ski Valley with
a 75-35 decision over the
Cardinals of coach Eddy
Szmoniak. Onaway fell to 6-3
overall and 4-3 in the league.
Tyler Thornton tallied 21
for the victors while Mitch
Teetzel hit for 18 with 11
rebounds.
Onaway played host to
non-league foe Rogers City
on Tuesday, Jan. 22, after this
issue went to press.
Graling girls use big third quarter to top host Bone Cit
BOYNE CITY Trailing at
half time, the Grayling girls
varsity basketball team used
a 20-point outburst in the
third quarter to rally for a 51-
41 road win over the host
Boyne City Ramblers on
Friday, Jan. 18.
The visiting Lady Vikings
(6-4 overall) found them-
selves trailing 27-21 at the
half of the Lake Michigan
Conference matchup.
We struggled shooting
again in the first half, but we
kept ourselves in the game
with our full-court press,
said Grayling head coach Joe
Powers. We were forcing
many turnovers, yet we
struggled scoring again.
During the half, we felt
confident because the game
was full court and very fast-
paced, he added. We felt
that our team depth would
contribute to our success, as
we played everyone on our
team during the furious first
half. Boyne City did not.
And, Powers seemed to be
right. Grayling came back out
on the floor after the inter-
mission and dominated the
third quarter, 20-9. Then, the
Vikings sealed the win by
holding the Ramblers to just
five points in the final stanza,
while scoring 10.
We wanted to keep up the
pace and make the game a
four-quarter game, Powers
said. It worked to our advan-
tage, as we outscored Boyne
City, 30-14, in the second
half.
The backcourt duo of
Hailey Whittaker, who was 2-
of-2 from beyond the three-
point line, and Hannah
Haven led the way for
Grayling, with each hoopster
hitting for 12 points.
Whittaker also had 6
rebounds, 3 assists and 2
steals in the road win, while
Haven added 4 rebounds, 4
steals and 1 assist.
The Vikings also had solid
play along their front line.
Sophomore forward
Samantha Denno chipped 10
points, 6 boards and 1 steal,
as well as recording a team-
best 3 blocked shots against
the Ramblers. And, senior
forward Maddie Benardo
ripped down a team-high 10
boards to go with 6 points
and 4 steals.
Other contributors for
Graying in Fridays confer-
ence win included: Makayla
Cragg with 4 points, 5
rebounds and 1 assist; Alyssa
Morley with 3 points, 4
rebounds, 2 assists and 1
steal; Caitlin Prosser with 2
points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals, 2
assists and 1 blocked shot;
and Rachel Money with 2
points, 3 rebounds and 1
steal.
It was a very solid league
win on the road, Powers
added.

hockey team pushed its
record to 10-7 with a pair of
close victories over the
weekend.
On Friday, Jan. 18,
Petoskey edged Big North
foe Cadillac 3-2 and on
Saturday the Northmen ral-
lied from a 2-0 deficit to
edge the Bay Area Reps by an
identical 3-2 score.
The win over Cadillac gave
Petoskey a sweep of the two-
game series this season and
a 2-3 record in the rugged
Big North.
The cool hand of Ken
Forton accounted for the
game-winning goal in the
win over the Vikings.
Cannon Kenny made a
mid-rink steal and broke
free on Viking goalie P.J.
Nemish, blasting one home
in a short-handed situation
to break the 2-2 tie in the
third period.
Senior Derek Smith deliv-
ered the first goal for
Petoskey and junior Ben
Schwartzfisher fired in the
second goal. Tanner Davis
and Kevin Hansen earned
the assists.
Breanna Merriam turned
away several hard Viking
deliveries in the second
period en route to earning
the W in the nets. She
turned back 17 of 19 shots.
ON SATURDAY in
Traverse City, the host Reps
rocketed to a quick 2-0 lead
on the scoreboard.
Smith put his own brand
of big-time Smash into the
Petoskey attack midway
through the second period,
suddenly slicing the deficit
in half with a serious, siz-
zling slam of a slap shot.
Kenny Forton fueled the fire
with a fantastic assist.
The Skye Pilot, Skye
Pieffer, added to the
momentum a while later
when he provided a perfect
feed to the flying Forton and
Cannon Kenny launched a
twine-bruising blast to make
the score 2-2.
It was Pieffer who put the
finishing touches on the
tense, come-from-behind
win, launching a laser off a
rebound blast by Tanner
Davis to give Petoskey a 3-2
advantage with less than five
minutes remaining.
Michael Whittaker stood
tall between the pipes for
the Northmen, withstanding
a barrage of shots from the
Reps. He rejected 28 of 30
attempts as Petoskey
improved to 6-1 in the
Northern Michigan Hockey
League.
Petoskey (10-7) enter-
tained Cheboygan in a

Vikings victorious as they
hold of late
Rambler surge
Mio thumps Hale to stay
alone atop NSL
Grayling 57
Boyne City 55
By Chris Fiel
BOYNE CITY The Vikings
used a big third quarter to
take a comfortable lead into
the final eight minutes of
play only to see that dwindle
to a basket as time expired as
Grayling held off a late Boyne
City rally in a 57-55 Lake
Michigan Conference victory
on January 18.
We were able to fight off
adversity with foul trouble
and hang on, Grayling coach
Rich Moffit said. We had
some good runs, they had
some good runs, but we were
able to hold on down the
stretch.
Boyne City took a 16-14
advantage after the first eight
minutes of play, and extend-
ed that lead to 34-30 at half-
time, before the Viking
offense kicked into high gear
in outscoring the Ramblers
18-5 in the third quarter for a
48-39 lead headed into the
fourth quarter.
Leading the Viking charge
on the night was Scott
Parkinson with 13 points and
five steals, while Tyler
McClanahan added 12.
Michael Branch dished out
three assists and led the team
in rebounding with six, and
Justice Junttila added five
boards.
Traditionally were a little
bigger, but with this line-up
spacing is important, coach
Moffit added. We need to
look to attack the rim and
take advantage of our quick-
ness, if there isnt any spac-
ing, then we have trouble
attacking.
Boyne City was led by Cory
Redman with a game high 24
points, while Maceo Vroman
added 12, and Brad Fouchia
had nine for the Ramblers.
We had some youthful
breakdowns in the first half,
Boyne City coach Nick
Redman said. But, we came
back and played solid
defense and pressed real
hard forcing them to turn the
ball over and put us on the
line.
Boyne City started to press
in the fourth quarter and
closed the gap to two, but fell
just short of the win.
Grayling improved to 6-2
overall, 4-1 conference, while
Boyne fell to 3-5, 2-3, with the
loss.
Hale had the best chance
of any North Star League
boys basketball team to
knock of league leading Mio
off its pedestal. After the
Thunderbolts 58-34 win
over the hosting Eagles
Tuesday night, the NSL title
is theirs to lose.
The kids are working
hard every day, I can't com-
plain, Mio head coach
Dennis Kann said. It just
seems like a total team
effort. These guys want to
win pretty bad.
Hale (6-2 NSL) came into
the contest one game
behind the Thunderbolts (8-
0) but things quickly unrav-
eled for the Eagles in a first
period that saw them hit just
one field-goal, a three-
pointer by Ryan Richardson
and one free-throw by Dan
Katterman.
Mio conversely got four
points apiece from Micah
Thomey and Ben Lubitz, on
its way to a 12-4 lead after
the first quarter.
They've been playing
really well and we knew that
we had to play well to win,
Hale head coach Ryan
Parkinson said. I thought
we played well in Hillman
the other night but we had a
lot of stuff going on tonight
and it just wasn't our night.
Hale managed just single
free-throws apiece by Kelby
Chrivia and Cody
Brewington in the second
quarter, while Mio, behind
its suffocating defense
caused several turnovers
that sparked fast-break
opportunities that were eas-
ily converted into two-point
basket after two-point bas-
ket. Mio took a 25-6 lead at
the half.
I thought the first half, we
played near perfect, Kann
said. For the most part it
was our defense, that's our
biggest asset. That's our best
offense and it creates a lot of
fast-break baskets.
RJ Bassi knocked down a
pair of three-pointers and
Chrivia and Richardson
each hit one three-ball to
give the Eagles brief
glimpses of hope in the third
quarter, but Thomey hit a
three-pointer as well and
finished with six points in
the quarter, along with
Lubitz getting five and Bryce
Degrammont getting four to
leave Mio ahead 40-22
entering the fourth.
Aaron Georgieff scored off
an offensive rebound to put
Mio up 42-22 early in the
fourth quarter, and Hale
never got the deficit below
20 again as the
Thunderbolts cruised to the
win behind four more points
by Georgieff, six by
Degrammont and four more
by Thomey.
That was the best smoth-
ering defense I've seen in
awhile so kudos to them,
Parkinson said. We certain-
ly thought we had been
improving enough to give
them a better game but you
could tell who the better of
the two ball clubs was
tonight.
Mio was led by Thomey
with 16 points, Lubitz and
Degrammont both finished
with 13, Georgieff had 10
and Seth Thomey scored six.
Hale was led by
Richardson and Katterman
with eight apiece, Bassi had
six, Italo Cicotti had five,
Chrivia had four and
Brewington scored three.
Mio (10-0 overall, 8-0 NSL)
resumes its season on
Friday, hosting NSL foe
Atlanta and hosts non-
league Alcona on Monday.
Mio girls top
Hale
Mio made easy work of
visiting Hale Monday night,
earning a 76-31 in North Star
League girls basketball.
The Lady Thunderbolts
opened the night strong,
netting 25 points to Hale's
eight. Mio extended its lead
with a 20-12 edge in the sec-
ond quarter to lead 45-20 at
the half. The Eagles were
outscored again in the third,
22-6 to trail 67-26 entering
the fourth, where Mio had a
9-5 advantage to account for
the final.
Jalen DeFlorio and Shelby
Satkowiak had 19 points
apiece, with DeFlorio
adding 11 rebounds. Kelsey
Frazho had nine points with
Tayler Blamer adding eight
points and 10 rebounds.
Mio (5-7 overall, 4-6 NSL)
played at Atlanta on
Thursday and resumes play
Jan. 31 at Hillman.
CHEBOYGAN COUNTY --
The Department of Natural
Resources has announced
that the 2013 lake sturgeon
fishing and spearing season
on Black Lake in Cheboygan
County will begin at 8 a.m.
on Saturday, Feb. 2. All
anglers must register to par-
ticipate in the lake sturgeon
season.
The 2013 angler registra-
tion process will be similar to
what was enacted in 2012.
Anglers need to only register
once for the entire season. An
early registration will be held
at the DNR Onaway Field
Station from 2 to 8 p.m. on
Friday, Feb. 1. This station is
located approximately five
miles north of Onaway on
Route 211. Anglers can pick
up their spearing identifica-
tion flags at this time and
learn more about season
logistics and sturgeon popu-
lations from the DNR.
Anglers unable to partici-
pate in the Friday registra-
tion may register at either the
entrance booth to Onaway
State Park or at a registration
trailer at Zolner Road ending
on Black Lake. Morning reg-
istration begins at 7 a.m.
each day of the season.
Anglers are highly encour-
aged to register on Friday,
Feb. 1.
The 2013 total harvest limit
for the state of Michigan is six
sturgeon. However, to reduce
the chance of exceeding the
harvest limit, officials will
close the season if one of two
scenarios occurs:
Once the sixth fish is har-
vested, or
If five fish have been har-
vested at the end of any fish-
ing day.
Anglers 17 years of age or
older must possess a valid
all-species fishing license. In
addition, all anglers must
possess a lake sturgeon tag,
available for free from all
license vendors. Anglers
must have both of these prior
to registering for the Black
Lake sturgeon season.
Fishing hours are 8 a.m. to
2 p.m. each day of the sea-
son. The season will either
end at 2 p.m. on Wednesday,
Feb. 6, or when one of the
above scenarios is met, at
which point anglers will be
notified on the ice by DNR
personnel that they must
immediately stop fishing for
lake sturgeon.
Anglers will be issued a
disposable flag at registration
that must be displayed at the
entrance of the angler's
shanty each day.
Anglers that harvest a lake
sturgeon must tag the fish
immediately and contact an
on-ice DNR employee and
register the fish at the Zolner
Road trailer registration site
on Black Lake. Registration
may include an examination
of internal organs and
removal of a piece of fin tis-
sue for DNA analysis and
aging.
Recent changes in registra-
tion logistics were developed
to allow greater participation
by anglers while protecting
the population of lake stur-
geon in Black Lake from
overharvest. Rehabilitation
of lake sturgeon in the
Cheboygan River watershed
is a cooperative effort involv-
ing the Department of
Natural Resources, the Black
Lake Chapter of Sturgeon for
Tomorrow, Michigan State
University and Tower-Kleber
Limited Partnership.
Anglers may call the
Gaylord Operations Service
Center at 989-732-3541 or
visit www.michigan.gov/fish-
ing for more details.
Anglers may register early on Feb. 1 at Onaway Field Station to fish and spear sturgeon on Black Lake
Sturgeon season set to open Feb. 2

All-season Athlete:
New 2013 Chrysler 300
Glacier
Through lifestyle driven models, the
new 2013 Chrysler 300 continues to
show the numerous personalities that
are capable from its elegant and iconic
design. Beginning with the ultimate in
muscle Chrysler 300 SRT8, the ultimate
in luxury new Chrysler 300C John
Varvatos Luxury Edition, the ultimate
audiophile Chrysler 300S with Beats by
Dr. Dre, and now arriving in time to tack-
le winter, the ultimate all-weather ath-
lete the new Chrysler 300 Glacier.
From cruising through the city, to
escaping away to a snow-covered ski
resort, the new 2013 Chrysler 300 Glacier
has a commanding design presence and
the power and all-weather capability to
carve through some of the most snow-
covered landscapes.
With its state-of-the-art eight-speed
automatic transmission, steering-wheel
mounted paddle shifters, and a more
powerful 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine
with new sport-tuned exhaust and cold-
air induction system delivering 300
horsepower the new 2013 Chrysler
300 Glacier delivers best-in-class fuel
economy (18 mpg city / 27 mpg highway,
while providing maximum all-weather
traction, efficiency and driving perform-
ance through the segments most
advanced AWD system. For even more
power, the new Chrysler 300 Glacier
offers the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8
engine with four-cylinder mode Fuel
Saver Technology to deliver 363 horse-
power and up to 23 mpg highway.
The Chrysler 300 Glaciers AWD system
features a segment-exclusive active
transfer case and front-axle-disconnect
system to improve real-world fuel econo-
my. No other major automotive manu-
facturer offers the combination of these
two independent technologies. Chrysler
300s innovative AWD system seamlessly
transitions between rear-wheel drive and
AWD with no driver intervention. When
AWD is not required, the system auto-
matically disconnects the front axle to
maximize fuel economy while still pro-
viding the outstanding fun-to-drive per-
formance and handling inherent in rear-
wheel-drive vehicles.
Building on the avant-garde appear-
ance of the Chrysler 300S model, the
new 300 Glacier features contemporary
exterior and interior styling elements for
a flagship sedan that delivers refinement
within its landmark design. Hinting that
this Chrysler 300 sedan was born with an
ice-cool demeanor unique body-color
fascia accents, along with Gloss Black
mirrors, headlamp bezels and Black
Chrome sculpted horizontal grille blades
give the Glacier a low-key street pres-
ence. Emphasizing the Chrysler 300
Glaciers iconic silhouette and head-
turning proportions even more is an all-
new Gloss Black painted roof option.
Filling this AWD sedans wheel wells and
aiding in its world-class handling are
unique 19-inch eight spoke aluminum
wheels finished in Satin Carbon with
P235/55R19 all-season performance
tires. Exterior paint colors for this
Chrysler 300 include Bright White, Billet
Silver Metallic and exclusively to this
model, Glacier Blue Pearl Coat.
The interior of the Chrysler 300 Glacier
exudes an athletic-luxury theme with 12-
way power driver and passenger sport
seats featuring black Falls cloth in the
seat centers and leather-wrapped bol-
sters in black and finished with black
French-seamed stitching. Exclusive use
of Piano Black on interior center stack,
instrument panel, steering wheel, gauge
cluster and door panel elements provide
a uniquely lacquered and highly detailed
appearance. For even more spirited driv-
ing die-cast steering-wheel mounted
paddle shifters with sport mode are
ergonomically designed behind the 300
Glaciers black leather-wrapped thick-
rimmed steering wheel. Completing the
enthusiast-designed interior are matte
carbon hydrographic accents and black
floor mats with black velour binding and
Glacier logo embroidered.

By Jim Akans
This weeks feature listing is a wonderful, lakeside ranch
home situated on beautiful Clear Lake, and the asking price
for this listing is an absolutely fantastic value.
Situated on a large, 120 x 300 foot beautiful lot (over three-
quarters of an acre) that includes 120 feet of frontage on
Clear Lake, the setting is idyllic indeed. The private, 91-acre
no-wake lake means this welcoming tranquility wont be
disturbed by boat or jet ski noise, yet the crystal blue waters
are perfect for canoeing, kayaking, and the pike, bass and
crappie fishing is said to be excellent. The property also
boasts a 20 x 20 foot pole barn and a detached two-car
garage, so keeping vehicles, lake toys and yard equipment
out of the weather isnt a problem.
The home features approximately 1,350 square feet of liv-
ing space highlighted by three bedrooms, a full bath, a large
living room with wood burning fireplace insert, and a handy

On the Market
Signs
That
You're
Ready
to Buy
Compliments of Ed Wohlfiel
Figuring out whether you're
ready to buy a house -- whether
you're a renter or are aiming to
move up or size down -- can be a
daunting task. But there are signs
that will indicate whether you're
ready to take the buying plunge.
If you are thinking about buying,
you're not alone. So are you ready
to make the move? You might be if
you:
1. Are familiar with the market. If
you've been paying attention to
how much houses are listed for in
the neighborhoods you're eyeing
and have a realistic view of how
much a house will cost you, you're
in good shape. But if you're dream-
ing about that big corner house
with no clue about its asking price,
you may want to spend some more
time becoming familiar with the
market and how much houses are
going for.
2. Have the money for a down
payment and closing costs. The
down payment is a percentage of
the value of the property. Freddie
Mac says the percentage will be
determined by the type of mortgage
you select. Down payments usually
range from 3 to 20 percent of the
property value. Also, you may be
required to have Private Mortgage
Insurance (PMI or MI) if your down
payment is less than 20 percent.
Closing costs include points, taxes,
title insurance, financing costs and
items that must be prepaid or
escrowed and other settlement
costs. You can expect to pay
between from 2 to 7 percent of the
property value. Generally, buyers
will receive an estimate of these
costs from your lender after you
apply for a mortgage.
3. Know how much you can
afford. Freddie Mac says that as a
general guide, your monthly mort-
gage payment should be less than
or equal to a percentage of your
income, usually about a quarter of
your gross monthly income. Also,
your income, debt and credit histo-
ry go into determining how much
you can borrow. As a general rule,
your debt -credit card bills, car
loans, housing expenses, alimony
and child support -- should not be
more than about 30 to 40 percent of
your gross income.
4. Know what additional expens-
es will come with owning a home.
This includes homeowners insur-
ance, utility bills, maintenance
costs -- roofing, plumbing, heating
and cooling.
5. Have your credit in good shape
and make sure your credit report is
accurate. Potential lenders will view
your credit history -- how much
debt you've accrued, how many
accounts you have open, whether
your payments are made on time,
etc. -- to determine whether they'll
give you a loan. You should get a
report from each of the three credit
reporting companies: Equifax,
Experian, and Trans Union.
6. You haven't made any recent
major purchases, particularly a
vehicle. If you do, you may have a
harder time getting a loan -- or it
could potentially lower the amount
you'll be approved for.
