CADILLAC No time to

feel sorry for themselves, no

time to lick their wounds.

When you play the kind of

schedule Petoskey does,

thats the scenario you face

after a loss.

The Northmen committed

three turnovers and took

back-to-back crucial penal-

ties in the fourth quarter in

dropping a 20-7 decision to

Cadillac in their Big North

Conference opener last week.

It was Petoskeys first loss

of the season, and it left the

Northmen 2-1 heading into a

league game at Traverse City

West 1 p.m. Saturday.

Big, Northmen coach

Kerry VanOrman replied

when asked his impression of

the Titans, who stand 2-1

overall, 2-0 league, and are

coming off a 17-14 overtime

victory over crosstown rival

Traverse City Central.

The Titans are indeed big,

with an offensive line that

averages in the neighbor-

hood of 275 pounds per man.

But VanOrman could justas easily have used the word

to describe the game in gen-

eral from Petoskeys stand-

point. The Northmen need a

win to remain in the hunt in

the Big North.

That said, VanOrman and

his Northmen are not con-

cerning themselves with any-

thing beyond Saturday and

storied Thirlby Field.

I think were more about

that its Traverse City West,

and going in there and play-

ing a good football game and

having a chance in the fourth

quarter to win it, he said.Thats realistic for us. I think

its just way too early to think

about league and that stuff

for us. Were 0-1 in the league,

so youve just got to focus on

(West). Four weeks down the

line, maybe we can talk.

Thats going to take a lot of

good football by us, no ques-

tion.

The Northmen had that

chance in the fourth quarter

a week ago against Cadillac,

3-0, 1-0.

Trailing 14-7, Petoskey

moved from its own 6-yard

line to the Cadillac 35 early in

the fourth quarter. But back-

to-back holding penalties

pushed Petoskey back near

midfield. Facing third-and-

18, Petoskey sophomore

quarterback Evan Whitmore

was intercepted by Cadillacs

Patrick Briggs.

That really killed us, said

VanOrman, whose team

committed three turnovers

on the night. You cant turn

the ball over. Thats kind of

what weve lived on is win-

ning the turnover ratio. The

turnovers made a big differ-

ence in field position. They

played on a short field, and

we played on a long one.

Cadillac parlayed Briggs

interception into a game-clinching drive, capped by

Nate Houks 16-yard TD run

late in the fourth quarter that

effectively put it out of reach.

The Northmen did an

admirable job of containing

Cadillac quarterback Jalen

Brooks, arguably the best

athlete in the Big North.

Brooks rushed for 133

yards on 20 carries, and com-

pleted 6-of-12 passes for 54

yards good numbers by

almost any standard. He did-

nt ring up the gaudy stats he

did a year ago 292 rushing

yards and six TDs in a 44-14

win over the Northmen, but

he was clearly the major dif-

ference-maker in the game.

A scrambling Brooks found

TJ Baker for a first-quarter

TD pass, and Brooks raced 21

yards for a score with just 36

seconds remaining in the

first half. Brooks connected

with Lewis Finch on the two-

point conversion to put

Cadillac in front, 14-7, at

halftime.

Brooks was intercepted

once, by Shea Whitmore, and

it was the only turnover the

Vikings committed on the

night.

Our defense, I thought,

played really well,

VanOrman said. (Brooks is)going to get his yards. We just

didnt want him to get the

great big stuff and I thought

our kids did a good job of

containing him.

Petoskeys touchdown

came on a 1-yard Kurt

Boucher run in the second

quarter.

Chase Ledingham rushed

for 63 yards on 17 carries,

while Nick Mesnard added 46

on nine. Evan Whitmore

completed 4-of-8 passes for

48 yards. Shea Whitmore had

two receptions for 29 yards.

The Northmen managed

to move the ball effectively, at

times, but not with the con-

sistency with which they are

accustomed. And the

turnovers and oh-so-costly

back-to-back holding penal-

ties in the fourth quarter

proved too much to over-

come.

That was big, no ques-

tion, VanOrman said of the

penalties. At that time in the

game, that really hurt us. It

was our own mistakes, really.

We just made too many

mistakes up front in situa-

tions that really, really hurt

us. Its all fundamental stuff

and weve just go to get better

at fundamentals; at what we

do.The Cadillac game kicked

of a rugged three-game

stretch of road games for the

Northmen. After they visit

T.C. West, they go to

Cheboygan, 2-1, for a non-

leaguer.

Its only the third game of

the year, VanOrman said.

Weve got six more to go.

Youve got to get focused in a

hurry. Its going to be three

tough games on the road. It

was physical last week and

its going to be physical

against West, and

Cheboygans always going to

be a physical game. Weve got

to mentally focus on keeping

ourselves ready, keeping kids

healthy.

Without question, West is

the biggest team the

Northmen will see in their

nine-week regular-seasonschedule. But thats typical

for a school that has pro-

duced two Division I offen-

sive linemen Jake Fisher

(Oregon) and Rocko Khoury

(Michigan) in recent years,

and should send several of

the current crop to the next

level as well. One of those is

6-foot-3, 270-pound sopho-

more Tommy Roush, who

spent his freshman season at

Petoskey.

Its nothing new,

VanOrman said of facing a

Titan team that features a

mammoth offensive line.

But I think overall, physical-

ly, this might be the biggest

team theyve had size-wise.

Its definitely going to be a

physical game and that pres-

ents challenges for us for

sure.

CHEBOYGAN LivinLarge?

The Chiefs hope not.

The Cheboygan High

School football team

bounced back last week with

a solid 33-21 victory over

Escanaba in the Chiefs home

opener. The win, which came

on the heels of a 35-3 loss at

Marquette, lifted the Chiefs

to 2-1.

Next up is a trip to

Ludington, where

Cheboygan will face a team

off to its first 3-0 start since

2004, a start due in large part

to dynamic dual-threat quar-terback Chad Large.

He extends plays, he cre-

ates plays, and you have to be

a sound tackling team,

Cheboygan coach Jack Coon

said of Large, who completed

17-of-24 pass attempts for

236 yards and three touch-

downs last week in a 31-8 vic-

tory over Muskegon Orchard

View. We tell the kids youve

got to use the 4-H technique:

Hop on, hang on and holler

for help.

The Chiefs rolled past

Large and the Orioles last

season, 55-27. That game,

like this one, came in thefourth week of the season

and came in the midst of a 1-

4 start for Ludington. The

Orioles won three of their

final four games a year ago to

finish 4-5, a strong indication

that the program is on the

upswing.

Coon knows full well that

his Chiefs will likely

encounter an entirely differ-

ent team than it did a year

ago.

Theyre vastly improved,

he said. They bring so many

challenges with their wide-open offense. (Large is) kind

of a Johnny Manziel at the

Division 4 high school level.

Hes the real deal down there

and we had difficulty with

him last year in trying to keep

him contained. Its going to

be a heck of a challenge for

our defensive personnel. And

they have solid receivers who

can catch the ball.

Its going to be up to our

offense to keep (Large) on

the sideline.

That was a goal the Chiefs

met last week in their win

over Escanaba as senior full-back Nik Bevier ran for 130

yards and four touchdowns

on 16 carries.

The 6-foot-3, 219-pound

Bevier found all of his suc-

cess in running between the

tackles as the Chiefs reverted,

somewhat, to power football.

We went back to good old

fashioned knock em off the

football as opposed to work-

ing the perimeter, Coon said.

We just didnt think (the

Eskymos) were ready for that

smash-mouth kind of foot-

ball. As much as we want to

have a spread component to

our offense, we still have tohave that ball-control knock

em off the ball type of

offense.

Thats always been a part

of Cheboygan football. That

was a big part of the confi-

dence that came out of

Friday night.

Cheboygans passing game

was an efficient complement

as quarterback Luke

Harrington completed 10-of-

14 attempts for 119 yards.

Five of those completions

came on a seven-play two-

minute drill drive late in thefirst half just after Escanaba

had scored to cut

Cheboygans lead to 13-7.

Harrington connected

with four different receivers

Nathan Stempky, Chris

Demeuse, Ben Pearson and

Austin Ginop in working

the sidelines as Cheboygan

moved from its own 33-yard

line to paydirt in under a

minute.

Throughout the drive,

Harrington threw exclusively

to the right sideline and the

receivers got out of bounds

to stop the clock. Then, onfirst down from the Escanaba

26, he looked right then

turned to his left and tossed a

screen pass to a wide-open

Ginop. Ginop turned and

raced for the pylon, diving

across the goal line with two

Eskymo defenders closing

fast.

That TD re-upped the

Chiefs lead to two touch-

downs, 19-7, and gave them a

shot of pre-halftime momen-

tum.

I thought Luke did a good

job of managing the offense,

especially that last series (of

the half), Coon said. Hesreal precise with his throws.

He doesnt have a Damon

Proctor gun on him, but he

throws a real nice catchable

ball. We limit his choices so

he doesnt have to worry

about too much.

The pattern went

unchanged in the second

half.

Escanaba scored on its

opening drive of the third

quarter to draw within 19-14,

and the Chiefs answered on

their next possession to re-

up the lead to two scores, 26-

14.

The Eskymos, 0-3, scored

with under 3 minutes left in

the game to pull within 26-21. Twenty-eight seconds

later, Bevier bolted 37 yards

for his fourth TD of the night

to seal it.

Escanaba hung in for

much of the night with a

passing attack triggered by

quarterback Travis Heller,

who completed 18 of his 31

attempts for 246 yards and a

touchdown. His top target,

sticky-fingered Cameron

Beversluis, finished with 13

catches for 165 yards and

scored twice, once on a 25-

yard pass and again on a 36-

yard run.

But while Escanaba found

a measure of success through

the air, the Chiefs limited theEskymos to 93 yards rushing

and they never allowed

Heller to get comfortable in

the pocket. Heller was sacked

three times and Pearson and

Hunter Filice each recorded

an interception.

Cheboygans defensive

front four of Colton Hudak,

Jameson Knolton, Gage

Sullivan and Tristen

Losievsky performed splen-

didly, Coon said. Hudak in

particular stood out in finish-

ing with a sack, another tack-

le for loss, and he batted

down a fourth-down pass

attempt.

I thought our defensive

line played an exceptionalgame, Coon said. (Hudak)

has done a really good job.

Hes very smart on the edge

of the defense. He knows how

to keep leverage, and he

takes care of gap responsibil-

ities. Hes not the fastest kid,

but his football intelligence

makes up for it. Hes a headsy

kid. I really think hes one of

our top defensive players, if

not one of our best two-way

players. He doesnt come off

the field.

GAYLORD It was certain-

ly exciting.

Unfortunately, for those on

the St. Mary sidelines Friday

in the Ski Valley South opener

against visiting Central Lake,

it was also very exasperating.

Central Lake, employing

the powerful 1-2 punch of

backfield mates Will

Brockman and George

Thayer, controlled the clocklate in the game and scored

to beat the Snowbirds by the

narrowest of margins, 42-41,

in another high-scoring

thriller. The Trojans late tally

cost St. Mary a victory in its

home opener.

It was another heart-

breaker, said first-year St.

Mary head coach Kevin

OConnell. We turned the

ball over six times on offense

and we werent disciplined

enough and physical enough

on defense. Those are areas

where we have to get better.

Central Lake improved to2-1 overall and 1-0 in the Ski

Valley South with the come-

from-behind win. St. Mary

slipped to 1-2 and 0-1 while

suffering its second heart-

breaking loss of the young

season. In week one, the

Snowbirds lost 55-54 to non-

league foe Rogers City.

St. Mary tries to turn the

ship around this Friday in a

crucial league showdown

with host Onaway. The

Cardinals, who are coming

off a tough loss at Forest

Area, are also desperate for a

win. Central Lake travels to

Mancelona (1-2, 1-0), thethree-time defending league

champs, with a 22-game

league winning streak on the

line.

St. Mary senior quarter-

back Nick Harrington turned

in still another sterling per-

formance for his team in the

defeat. Harrington, the

Human Hurricane, has put

up eye-popping numbers so

far this season, wreaking

havoc on defenses designed

to try and somehow corral

him. But how do you corral

the wind?

The electric signal callerran the ball 20 times for 113

yards against Central Lake

with TD bursts of 10, 2 and 2

yards on his stat line. He also

hit on 10-of-23 aerials for

another 195 yards and TD

connections of 21 yards to

rangy senior receiver Charles

Strehl and 16 yards to super-

quick Jack Locomotion

Lochinski.

When Harrington wasnt

carrying the mail, it was sen-

ior turf-churner Anders

Marquard making tacklers

miss. Marquard, following

the blocks of bruising back-

field mate Cam Juneac,

slashed and slammed his

way to 76 yards in 19 carries.

Juneac bulled for another 21

tough yards on six carries.

The loaded Snow Pistoloffense engineered by

Harrington certainly did the

job moving the ball. The

Snowbirds were virtually

unstoppable throughout the

contest, punting the ball just

one time in the game.

But they stopped them-

selves too many times with

turnovers. As OConnell

noted, How can you turn the

ball over six times and still

expect to win?

St. Mary did have a chance,

though. The Snowbirds

trailed 36-34 heading into the

fourth quarter but navigateddown the field and went on

top 41-36 when Harrington

faked into the line and found

the glue-fingered Lochinski

en route to the end zone for

the 16-yard TD with 9:45 to

play.

Lochinski then made an

interception on Central

Lakes next possession, giving

St. Mary the ball back with

the lead in the fourth quarter.

The Trojans, to their credit,

buckled down and forced the

Snowbirds only punt of the

game after that.

Central Lake, using its

vaunted wing-T attack, wasable to motor the ball down

the field in small and big

chunks on the ensuing pos-

session, moving the chains

and taking time off the clock.

Thayer scored what would

prove to be the winning

touchdown for the Trojans

on a 5-yard push off-tackle.

The Snowbirds tried to

come back one more time in

the final minutes and moved

into Central Lake territory

when Harringto n found

Lochinski for a 35-yard hook-

up. The Trojan defense was

able to stiffen one last time,though, and that enabled the

visitors to walk away from

Gaylord with a tense 42-41

victory in hand.

St. Mary trailed 14-0 at the

outset of the game and 31-14

late in the second quarter

before staging a remarkable

comeback.

Lochinskis long locomo-

tive 65-yard kickoff return set

up the Snowbirds in good

field position and Harrington

made the Trojans pay. The

tough-minded signal callerlaunched a perfect spiral to

Strehl streaking to the corner

of the end zone for 21 yards

to complete the scoring

march and quickly make it a

31-21 game.

Central Lake attempted to

score again before the half

but it was an unwise move.

Harrington, who has made

his mark on defense in addi-

tion to his exploits on offense

this season, picked off a Hail

Mary pass inside the 20-yard

line and then maneuvered

his way down the field to

complete an incredible 86-yard return with the final sec-

onds of the half ticking off

the clock. Just like that, the

visiting Trojans felt the fury

of the Hurricane on the

defensive side of the ball and

the surging Snowbirds

trimmed the lead to 30-28.

The teams traded touch-

downs in the third quarter

before Harringtons strike to

Lochinski early in the fourth

quarter gave the Snowbirds

the lead for the first time.

Sadly for the Snowbirds, the

lead proved to be short-lived.

The 6-foot-4 Strehl, who

has been an effective blocker

this season as well as a clutch

receiver, pulled down three

Harrington aerials for 89

yards in the contest.

Lochinski grabbed three for

66 yards and Marquard two

for 38. Cat-quick Adam

Nowicki hauled in one for

nine yards.

On the defensive side for

St. Mary, Juneac added some

jolt to the attack with seven

solo tackles and five assists.

Rugged Willie Canfield took

part in 12 tackles and line-

backer Cole Loffer laid the

lumber down 11 times. Orion

Beningo made eight stops.

Harrington has been

involved in every touchdown

St. Mary has scored thus far.

He has 11 rushing TDs and

six passing TDs in addition to

two interception returns for

touchdowns. In three games,

the Human Hurricane has

amassed nearly 600 yards

rushing and more than 400

yards passing.

Next up is the league game

at Onaway and it wont be

easy. The Cardinals of coach

Jim Cleaver are coming off a

disappointing 26-18 loss at

Forest Area and bring an 0-3

record into Fridays contest.

Onaway does have skilled

playmakers, though, and

speed to burn. OConnell

knows it will be a very tough

battle between two teams

that very much need a victo-

ry.

They bring talent, skill

and toughness, OConnell

said of the Cardinals.

Theyre playing at home and

theyll be desperate to win

just like we are. You have two

desperados going at it.

OConnell said his defense

cannot afford to keep being

so generous.

Defensively, we have to

play disciplined, OConnell

said. We cant keep giving up

a golf course in rushing yards

every week.

We cant let Onaway move

the ball up and down the

field and that means we cant

let (Matt) Tollini run wild on

us and dominate the game,

he added. We need to be dis-

ciplined in our coverage on

Friday and put pressure on

him. Hes a smart, tough

quarterback. Well vary our

coverages and do our best to

make it difficult for him.

When St. Mary has the ball,

OConnell expects Onaway to

put seven defenders in the

back and dare the Snowbirds

to pass the ball.

Theyll try to contain Nick

the best they can and force us

to pass, OConnell said.Our strength is running the

ball. Theyll try to take that

strength away and make us

beat them with the pass. If

thats the case, we have to

run good routes, be disci-

plined and hold onto the

ball.

MANCELONA It was

exactly the kind of game you

would anticip ate between

two of the top JV football

teams in the area.

The young Mancelona

Ironmen of coach Doug

Derrer forged an early 16-0

advantage over visiting Ski

Valley South foe

Johannesburg-Lewiston on

Thursday, Sept. 13, and thenheld off a late rally by the

determined Cardinals to

secure a hard-fought 24-22

victory.

The pathway to success for

Mancelona came once again

with its ability to access con-

tested real estate through the

relentless running assault of

the Iron Trio of Tyler Fults,

C.J. Short and Chris Nielson.

The Iron Trio generated

some hard beats in their col-

lective music in the backfield

once again as they rhythmi-

cally rampaged for 270 yards

rushing against the stubborn

J-L defense and accounted

for all the Ironmen points in

this one.

Short showed up big with

his sonic sieges between thetackles, shaking and slashing

his way to a team-high 110

yards in 20 carries, including

an 18-yard burst to paydirt to

score the first points of the

game. Fults, the frenetic Ty-

Fu Flier, fired out through the

gaps for another 103 yards

rushing in 17 tries and TD

gallops of 35 and 23 yards.

Fults was fierce on conver-

sion runs as well, taking two

of them across the goal line.

Neon Nielson added

some flash and fuel to the

attack, converting the Deuce

Moves into 57 yards of real

estate on 13 attempts and he

also showed soft Spiderman

hands in the end zone, grab-

bing a critical conversion

toss from Mancy QB DylanDerrer to score the two

points that would prove to be

the difference in the out-

come.

J-L displayed resiliency

and battled all the way

through four quarters but

came up just short at the end.

After the Ironmen took a

16-0 lead in the first quarter,

the visiting Cardinals came

back to trim the lead to 16-6

late in the quarter when

freshman signal caller Mason

Kortman found a seam and

cruised 27 yards to the end

zone.

Midway through the sec-

into a sudden 49-yard TD

strike. Kortmans conversion

In the fourth quarter, the

Cardinals tallied one last

time with 7:50 remaining

when Wells waxed the wheels

and sprinted 49 yards off a

perfectly executed trap

block. Kortmans conversion

run made it 24-22 and that

was how it would end.

On the defensive side for

Mancelona, Fults flew to the

ball with abandon, making

seven stops with a blocked

pass. Shane Young put the

slam down six times. Joe

Grenke and C.J. Short each

had six tackles also.

PICKFORD Inland Lakes

coach Stan Schramm was

adamant after his teams 44-

30 loss in week 2 to

Johannesburg-Lewiston that

his players effort top to

bottom would improve.

It did, and now the

Bulldogs head into week 4

with a chance to take the

upper hand in the Ski Valley

Conference North Division

race.

Todd Athey scored on a

quarterback sneak, thenbulled in for the decisive

two-point conversion to lift

the Bulldogs to a dramatic

overtime win over Pickford in

their Ski Valley North opener

last week.

On Friday, Inland Lakes

goes to St. Ignace to play the

defending league champion

Saints. Both squads are 2-1

overall, 1-0 league. St. Ignace

outslugged Rudyard, 56-36,

in its league opener last

week.

I know were going to be

underdogs going into the

game, said Schramm, whose

team is off to a 2-1 start for

the first time since 2010. But

I feel good about our team. If

we come and play four quar-

ters of football, well have a

chance to win. If we come

out there passionate, yeah,

weve got a shot.Whether the 2013 Saints

measure up to their recent

predecessors is yet to be

seen. The Saints finished 12-

1 in each of the past two sea-

sons, advancing to a Division

8 state semifinal on both

occasions. St. Ignace opened

the season with a 20-0 loss to

Charlevoix, ending a 24-

game regular-season win

streak.

Fridays winner will sit

alone atop the five-team

North Division, and since

league teams play just four

divisional games, a win

would go a long way in deter-

mining the eventual champi-

on.

I think the kids will show

up to practice very confident

on Monday, feeling good,

Schramm said after the

Bulldogs win over Pickford.And they also understand

how focused they have to be,

and how hard they have to

work, to get the kind of

results we want on a Friday

night.

Which was exactly the les-

son Schramm had hoped

would sink in coming out of

the loss to Johannesburg-

Lewiston.

We talked about working

hard at the beginning of the

first whistle of practice on

Monday to last whistle of the

game on Friday, he said.

Make yourself better, play

with passion and heart and

a little bit of anger. Our kids

brought it from the first whis-

tle to the last (against

Pickford).

Win or lose that game, I

was already thinking that we

found out something aboutour team, and I thought it

was somethin g we could

build off of. And it was

against a good Pickford

team.

Athey turned in a big night,

rushing 14 times for 154

yards and three touchdowns,

and completing 3-of-7 passes

for 55 yards and a score.

Christian Wallace was a

perfect complement to

Athey, carrying nine times for

108 yards, catching a 35-yard

TD pass, and returning a

kickoff 65 yards for a score.

Daniel Flowers added 41

yards on nine attempts.

Middle linebacker Trevor

Mallory was an on-field men-

ace once again. He led Inland

Lakes defense with 16 tack-

les including a sack. He also

forced a fumble and recov-

ered a fumble. StanleySchramm made 15 tackles,

while Nick Parker had 14

including two sacks. Also for

the Bulldogs, Chase Bunker

made 10 stops and was a

standout on the offensive

line at center, coach

Schramm said.

The Bulldogs recorded six

sacks on the night, and

Flowers and Jacob Langone

each had an interception.

The game was tied at 28-all

at the end of regulation, and

Pickford went on offense first

in overtime, scoring on third-

and-goal from the 5-yard

line. Inland Lakes stopped

the Panthers two-point con-

version attempt, a turn of

events that would prove criti-

cal.

Flowers set up Atheys

quarterback sneak TD with a

third-down carry to the 1-foot line.

On the conversion play,

Schramm called for Athey to

roll out to his right. Athey did

just that, and cut up toward

the goal line between his

right guard and right tackle

and hit the end zone in a

massive scrum.

Gaylord moves ball but struggles to

finish drives; next up is league openerat home against Ogemaw

By Mike Dunn

GAYLORD It was a step

forward in a lot of ways for

the Gaylord football team,

even though it wasnt reflect-

ed on the scoreboard. The

Blue Devils fell to unbeaten

non-league foe Standish-

Sterling 34-7 on Friday night

in front of the home crowd.

Gaylord slipped to 0-3 but

did more things successfully

on offense than in the previ-ous two games and that was a

positive sign for head coach

Will Cleaver, who is in his

first year at the helm after

returning to the program.

The road doesnt get easier

this week as Gaylord opens

Big North play at home

against talented Ogemaw

Heights. The Falcons are 2-1

overall and 1-1 in the league

after outscoring Alpena 32-7

on Friday. They also have a

high-scoring 38-34 victory

over Hastings in week one

and a 21-8 loss at Traverse

City West in week two.

The Blue Devils are still

seeking their first win in

more than two years. The

game with the potent

Panthers on Friday was clos-

er than the scoreboard

shows, at least statistically,

but Gaylord struggled to fin-

ish drives after getting into

the red zone and had trouble

containing the Panthers

powerful passing attack.

Cleaver knew it would be a

long road back when he was

hired to lead the Blue Devil

program again. Hes seeing

improvement each week but

the process takes time. Heliked the way Gaylord moved

the ball against the swarming

Panther defense much of the

time, though he was frustrat-

ed with reaching the red zone

and not scoring.

We moved the ball but we

didnt finish drives, Cleaver

said. Wed get the ball into

the red zone but not into the

end zone. We had a couple of

dropped balls that hurt us

and we made too many mis-

takes. When you get in close,

you want to cash in and thats

something we have to con-

tinue to work on as coaches.

Cleaver was pleased with

the slash-and-slam, torpedo-

like runs of Shane Foster out

of the backfield and the deci-

sions that junior QB Steven

Fitzek made with the ball inhis hands. Fitzek played his

best game to date behind

center. He also noted the

blocking of tight end Zach

Pasternak and the overall

play of Spiderman Nick

Parker on the D-line.

Were doing some good

things but we have to get bet-

ter as a team, he said.

Fitzek had his best game so

far. He ran the ball well and

didnt take sacks. We made

some strides offensively in

our blocking and our passing

game and thats what you

want to see. Overall, I

thought we took a step for-

ward even though it didnt

show up on the scoreboard.

Ogemaw built a 20-0 first-

half lead on three Austen

Snyder passes to tight end

Clay Walterzak, a D-1

prospect who definitely lived

up to his pre-game billing.

Walterzak accounted for TD

strikes of 33, 18 and 15 yards.

He was a beast once the ball

reached his hands.

The visitors made it 27-0

early in the third quarter

when Matt Crawford ran 6

yards at the 8:49 mark.

The Blue Devils could havelet down at that point but

didnt. They responded with

their lone scoring drive of the

night, marching down the

field behind the scrambles

and timely throws of Fitzek

and the power bursts of

Foster. In the end, it was

Foster finding a seam off-

tackle and racing 15 yards to

paydirt. Brad Byrne booted

the PAT to trim the Falcon

lead to 27-7 with 1:50 left in

the quarter.

The Panthers struck one

more time on the ensuing

possession when Snyder

found receiver Seth Malcolm

down the sidelines for a sud-

den 63-yard connection.

Snyder finished a produc-

tive night with 7-of-9 com-

pletions for 189 yards and thefour scores. Malcolm

grabbed three for 115 yards

and Walterzak four for 74.

Crawford was the leading

ground gainer for the visi-

tors, picking up 57 yards in 11

attempts. Zack Markle

motored to 42 yards in three

tries, including a 38-yarder.

For Gaylord, Fitzek scram-

bled effectively and found

open spaces, toting the ball

14 times for 79 yards. He was

sacked twice for 12 yards but

avoided other sacks with a

quick release of the ball or by

using his feet to get away.

The hard-driving Foster

accumulated 71 net yards on

19 carries and broke free for a

29-yard gallop thanks in part

to a devastating downfield

block by Pasternak. He was

caught behind the line of

scrimmage for 18 yards in

losses as well.

Fitzek hit on 11-of-26 aeri-

als for 149 yards but his num-

bers would have been better

if not for some drops. He was

also picked off once.

Matt Kempfer pulled in

three for 26 yards and Collin

Watters corralled two for 41

yards, including a 33-yarder.Leland Huey latched onto

two for 36 yards and

Pasternak pulled down one

for 22 yards. Sam Rinke also

had a reception for 17 yards

and Lance Chapman

grabbed one for 15 yards.

A bright spot for the

defense was the effective

play of Parker, who penetrat-

ed into the backfield like he

was shot from a cannon and

frequently disrupted the

Panthers offensive rhythm.

He was catching guys

from behind all the way from

the opposite end of the field,

Cleaver said. He was in theirbackfield and put pressure

on their quarterback. It was

nice to see.

Another bright spot was

opportunistic Tristan

Gregory, who pounced on a

loose ball for a takeaway.

Ogemaw is up next and the

Falcons have some playmak-

ers at the skill positions who

know how to generate big

plays and points.

They look solid pretty

much at every position,

Cleaver said. They dont

have many weaknesses.

Their quarterback is an out-

standing scrambler and run-

ner and he can throw the

ball. Theyll spread us out

and make us cover the pass.

We need a great game from

out defensive backs and we

have to contain the quarter-

back. We have our work cut

out for us.

When Gaylord has the ball,it is essential to establish a

running game.

They run a 3-4 (defensive

scheme), so we have to be

able to run the ball inside

because thats what theyre

giving us, Cleaver said.

When the Blue Devils

throw the ball, they canexpect pressure from the

Falcons in the form of blitzes.

Theyre good at blitzing

and we have to be able to

pick them up, Cleaver said.

They can come at you from

different angles with their

linebackers.

FIFE LAKE A better effort,

but the same result for the

Cardinals.

Dion Burke ran for 135

yards and two touchdowns

on 19 carries as Forest Area

downed the Cardinals in theSki Valley Conference South

Division opener for both

schools.

The loss dropped Onaway

to 0-3 overall. Forest Area is

2-1. Onaway plays host to

Gaylord St. Mary in a South

Division game on Friday.

The Snowbirds are 1-2, 0-1,

after a 42-41 loss to Central

Lake last week. St. Mary

opened the season with a 55-

54 loss to Hillman, then

defeated Pellston, 33-21.Quarterback Matt Tollini

completed 11-of-24 pass

attempts for 175 yards and

three touchdown for Onaway

against Forest Area. He also

ran for 119 yards on 11

attempts.

Our line came around,

said Onaway coach Jim

Cleaver, adding that DJ

Fenstermaker, in his first

start at left guard, was a

standout on the offensive

line. Our line played reallywell Friday night. Without

them, you dont move the

ball.

Tollinis TD passes went for

49 yards to Chris Cleaver; for

27 yards to Carlos Bautista;

and for 17 yards to Tommy

Auger. Chris Cleaver finished

with two catches for 65 yards,

Auger had three catches for

35; and Bautista had three for

47.

The Cardinals cut down

dramatically on penalties, asore spot through the first

two weeks of the season.

We had 70 yards in penal-

ties this week, which is a lot

different than 180 (in week

two against Rogers City),

coach Cleaver said. Still, 70

is way too much to give away.

The penalties are just killing

us. You cant get 70 yards in

penalties in a game and

expect to win.

The boys played hard.

They played really goodtogether last Friday in Forest

Area. I think they are starting

to turn the corner and start-

ing to gel together.

Tollini led Onaways

defense with 20 tackles, while

Chris Cleaver added 18 tack-

les including a sack.

Also for the Cardinals ,

Frankie Ramos had 11 stops,

Bautista finished with nine,

Cody Morell had eight, Ray

Self added seven, and Isaac

Nave and Noah Bacon had

six each. Tollini and Ramos

each recovered a fumble.

GRAYLING After two

dominating performances to

start the 2013 varsity footballseason, the Grayling Vikings

had a bit of a scare from the

visiting Charlevoix Rayders

in a Lake Michigan

Conference showdown on

Friday, Sept. 13.

The host Vikings had to

rally in the second half to

secure a 30-26 win over their

conference foe, giving

Grayling a perfect 3-0 record.

But, Grayling seemed to be

suffering from its own bad

luck early on, falling behind

at the half, 14-10. That was

partially due to an intercep-

tion that led to a Rayders

score and a defensive penaltythat erased a potential TD.

The Vikings (3-0 overall, 1-

0 LMC) shrugged off their

first-half struggles to domi-

nate in the third and fourth

quarters, outgunning

Charlevoix, 20-12, after inter-

mission.

We werent ready to play

at the beginning of the game,

and I take full responsibility

for that, said Grayling head

coach Tim Sanchez.

However, when we went

down 26-10 after a few breaks

went the other way, our lead-

ers stepped it up and took

over the game.Our offense had three

great drives in a row, and our

defense got tough and

stuffed them for the final

quarter. This was a big char-

acter test for us, and our guys

passed.

Charlevoix head coach Ron

Bindi said the Vikings relent-

less, hurry-up offense might

have warned down his defen-

sive players.

Grayling ran 65 offensive

plays, to just 50 for the

Rayders. And, Bindi said

most of those by Grayling

were in a hurry-up mode,

not allowing Charlevoix to

catch its breath between

plays.

They have more playersthan us, Bindi said. Our

defensive backs, they ran

four long passes in a row.

That was like running sprint

after sprint.

We started to get worn

down and tired, I think, he

added.

Bindi said the offense

could have protected the

defense, if Charlevoix would

have been able to convert

some additional first downs

late in the game and keep the

Grayling offense off the field.

But, Grayling reeled off two

scoring drives in the fourth

quarter to complete thecomeback, the last coming

with 4:23 on the play clock.

We make a first down in

that fourth quarter, they

might not have had a chance

to score, Bindi added. We

just dont know how to finish

(games) yet.

Grayling senior quarter-

back Jake Swander again

proved to be one of the stars

of the game, completing 28-

of-44 passing attempts for

292 yards, 2 touchdowns and

1 interception. He also ran

the ball 3 times for 2 yards.

Swander connected with

seven different receivers onthe night. But, senior Tyler

McClanahan topped the list

with 12 catches for 121 yards

and a score.

Junior Scout Tobin also

had a nice night, catching 7

throws from Swander for 70

yards. And, senior Brandon

Latusek (2 receptions, 26

yards) caught Swanders

other TD pitch.

Swanders other targets

included senior Kevin Harris

(2 receptions, 26 yards), sen-

ior Michael Branch (2 recep-

tions, 17 yards), junior Dylan

Wyman (2 reception s, 16

yards) and senior Peyton

Zigila (1 reception, 6 yards).

While Grayling did much

of its damage through the air,Harris still managed to lead

the Vikings with 57 yards on

11 carries, including a TD

run. Branch added another

score on the ground, while

carrying the ball 61 yards on

6 attempts.

Harris was also a perfect 3-

for-3 on PAT kicks.

Defensively, Grayling was

led by junior Dylan Wyman

and senior Will Romain, both

with 9 tackles.

Bindi, while saying his

team could have used a cou-

ple of more first downs late to

possible score an upset, said

he was pleased with thisteams effort, as Charlevoix

(1-2 overall, 0-1 LMC) tallied

136 rushing yards on 44 car-

ries.

We averaged 3 yards or

better, he said, in reference

to the ability of the Rayders

to run the ball against

Grayling. Ill take 3 yards

every time.

Junior fullback Sam Hovie

battered Grayling defenders

for 98 yards and 2 TDs on 24

carries, while senior quarter-

back ran for 22 yards and a

score on 15 carries. And, jun-

ior Bryan Noirot added 16

yards on 5 rushing attempts.When not running the ball,

Klinger connected on 6 pass-

ing attempts for 106 yards

and a TD. Will Telgenhof and

Nate Moon, both juniors,

each had 2 catches for 48

yards, with Moon finding the

end zone on a 40-yard pass

play from Klinger.

Telgenhof also was a key

player for the Rayders defen-

sively, tallying a team-high

10.5 tackles. Senior Shane

Sutherland had 8 hits, while

senior Sam Eakes and sopho-

more Austin Putman both

had 6 tackles. And, Moon

picked off a Swander pass.

Charlevoix will next face

host Elk Rapids (2-1 overall)

at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 20,

while Grayling hits to road to

play Traverse City St. Francis

(2-1 overall) at 1 p.m. on

Saturday, Sept. 21. Report by Buckland Media.

ATLANTA After a shaky

season-opening loss, the Mio

Thunderbolts are showing

why theyre still a team otherteams better not overlook.

The Thunderbolts (2-1

overall, 1-0 conference) stuck

unlucky host Atlanta (0-3

overall, 0-1 conference) for

scores in all four quarters

Friday, Sept. 13, on their way

to a 49-30 victory in the

North Star League opener for

both teams.

Mio put up 14 points in the

opening quarter of play and

added 8 points in the second

on its way to a 22-16 edge at

the half. The visiting

Thunderbolts then shut out

Atlanta, 15-0, in the third.

It made little difference, atthat point, when Atlanta

outscored Mio, 14-12, in the

final frame.

Senior quarterback Brad

Rhoads had a solid night for

the Thunderbolts, complet-

ing 17-of-26 passing

attempts for 292 yards and 4

touchdowns, as well as run-

ning the ball 9 times for 16

yards. Rhoads even kicked an

extra point in the win. Healso, however, threw a pair of

interceptions.

Rhoads favorite target was

senior Seth Thomey, who had

7 receptions for 124 yards

and 2 scores. Thomey led

Mio in all-purpose yards

Friday with 237 yards,

including 48 yards in kick

returns.

But, senior Chaun

Obermiller had an equally

impressive night, with 5

catches for a team-best 129

yards and 2 TDs. He also car-

ried the ball once for 7 yards

and tallied another 19 yards

on kick returns.Senior Colton McGregor

added 4 receptions for 31

yards, while Devers caught

one throw for 8 yards.

But, the Bolts were nearly

as effective running the ball

with 46 carries for 207 yards

and 2 TDs, both by senior

running back Bryson Devers.

Devers led Mio with 139

yards on 24 rushes, including

a long of 31 yards.Other rushers for Mio

included sophomore Ryan

Ellul (9 carries, 31 yards),

sophomore Scott Blamer (2

carries, 9 yards) and junior

Brian Watson (1 carry, 5

yards).

Defensively, Mio was led

by some familiar names.

Thomey posted a team-best

13 tackles, including 10 solo

hits and 1 interception, while

Devers was next with 11 tack-

les, with 7 solo hits.

Mio also got solid defen-

sive performances from jun-

ior Josh Fox (8 tackles, 4 solo

and 1 interception), Blamer(7 tackles, 6 solo), Watson (6

tackles, 5 solo), Obermiller (6

tackles, 3 solo and 1 sack),

junior Iron Galer (5 tackles, 4

solo and 1 interception) and

Ellul (3 solo tackles and 1

sack).

While taking the loss,

Atlanta also had some solid

performers. That included

junior quarterback Seth Teets

who complete d 17-of-27passing attempts for 164

yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. He

also ran the ball 7 times for

34 yards and a score.

Senior Jake Chambers led

Atlanta with 83 yards rushingon 7 carries, including a pair

of TD runs. Chambers also

caught 7 passes for 94 yards

and another score. Not to

mention, defensively, the

senior posted a team-best 15tackles, including 14 assists.

ATLANTA The

Department of Natural

Resources will host an open

house on Oct. 16 in Atlanta to

provide information and

receive public comment on

proposed forest management

treatments for 2015 in the

Atlanta manage ment unit,

which includ es Alpena ,

Cheboygan, Montmorency

and Presque Isle counties.

The open house is set for:

Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2-6

p.m.

Atlanta Field Office, 13501

M-33 North, Atlanta

Each year, DNR personnelevaluate one-tenth of the state

forest. The inventory provides

key decision-making informa-

tion for foresters and wildlife,

fisheries and other resource

managers. The age, health,

quality and quantity of trees

and other vegetation are

assessed to enable DNR staff

to make informed decisions.

Timber management, wildlife

and fisheries habitat, miner-

als, archeological sites, recre-

ational use, wildfire potential

and social concerns are just

some of the topics taken into

consideration during this

review.

Because the forest is inven-

toried approximately two

years in advance, a year of

entry is assigned to indicatewhen treatments will be pre-

pared. Information currently

under review has a 2015 year

of entry. This means that

treatment activities on lands

being reviewed this year will

actually begin in 2015.

Proposed treatments,

which may include timber

harvesting, replanting and

other management activities,

are designed to ensure the

sustainability of all forest

resources.

Bill ONeill, chief of the

DNRs Forest Resources

Division, said these open

houses are a good way for

interested residents, neigh-

bors and stakeholders to learn

well in advance about the

DNRs proposed treatmentplans and to share input

toward final decisions on

those treatments.

This is an excellent oppor-

tunity for the public to weigh

in on what the DNR is doing to

sustainably manage

Michigans state forest land,

said ONeill, who also serves

as state forester. Interested

folks can take a look at pro-

posed management plans and

talk face-to-face with foresters

and biologists about their

questions and concerns.

Having active partners in the

management of our state

forests is crucial to meeting

the recreation, economic and

conservation needs of current

and future generations.

To more easily and effi-ciently oversee the forest

resources, the DNR divides

each management unit into

smaller units or "compart-

ments." This year, the com-

partments under review are in

Alpena , Long Rapids and

Maple Ridge townships

(Alpena County); Benton and

Grant townships (Cheboygan

County); Albert, Briley,

Hillman, Montmorency and

GAYLORD The month of

September brings shorter

days, school buses, football

and hunting.

Youth can enjoy harvesting

ducks this coming weekend,

Sept. 14-15. The Youth

Waterfowl Hunting event is for

those ages 15 and younger.

The daily limit includes ducks,

mergansers, geese, coots and

moorhens. For more informa-

tion, including bag limits,

species restrictions and regu-

lations, please review the

Michigan Waterfowl Hunting

Digest.

The small game season

opener is Sept. 15. The long-

awaited ruffed grouse season

will kick into full gear, with

hunters from all around

Michigan and beyond hitting

the forest with their dogs to

flush a grouse. Squirrels and

rabbits are also species that

can be pursued during small

game season, and fall turkey

season kicks off Sept. 15 as

well.

Sept. 21 marks the opening

day of woodcock season,

when thousands of hunters

will be on the quest for the

famous "timberdoodle."

The DNR reminds hunters

to make sure they know the

bag limits and shooting hours

of the species they are hunting

by picking up a 2013 Hunting

and Trapping Digest wherever

licenses are sold. Most

hunters can hunt some small

game for about six months

with a $15 residen t small

game license. Non-residents,

youth and seniors should refer

to the digest for license infor-

mation.

Michigan deer hunting sea-

sons of 2013 are set for Sept.

21-22. Youth, antlerless deer

hunters and 100-percent dis-

abled veterans all will be tak-

ing to the woods to bag the

first venison of the season

where it is legal. Information

about those hunts is also

included in the hunting and

trapping digest.

Youth 16 and younger will

be able to hunt for antlered or

antlerless deer on both public

and private land for the two

days of the youth hunt.

Mentored youth licenses are

available for $7.50 for youth 9

and younger, and youth who

have not taken hunter safety

can hunt under an apprentice

license. Many opportunities

are available to get youth in

the field. Consult the 2013

Hunting and Trapping Digest

or call a DNR Office for more

hunting information.

For additional information

about getting youth started in

hunting, visit the Youth

Hunting page.

Looking for a great place to

hunt on public land? Start by

using the Mi-HUNT interac-

tive mapping tool to find over

9.9 million acres of public

land open to hunting. Be sure

to watch the tutorial sessions

to get the most out of this

mapping application. Maps

can be printed in color and

viewed at the level where

users can search for sought-after tree species.

Looking for areas to hunt on

private land? The Hunting

Access Program (HAP) opens

an additional 143 properties

where landowners allow pub-

lic access.

Mancelona on Tuesday,

Mackenzie Wright,

Shaylee Smith and Abbie

Hornets. Mighty Mac hadthe Wright Stuff once again

as she put the muscle

behind nine kills. Shaylee

slammed out eight with two

blocks and Abbie belted out

seven. Oliva Grant generat-

ed four kills.

Welch was a wizard at the

stripe also as she whizzed

seven aces.

Hanah Carter served her

teammates with a smile,

fueling the fire up front with

timely deliveries as she net-

ted 26 assists. Hanah put the

hit on six aces, too, and had

seven digs.

Breah Carter and

Mackenzie Wright covered

the floor like syrup on pan-cakes, each amassing 10

digs.

competed in the Petoskey

Invitational and reached the

semifinals before being

eliminated by Boyne City.

After going 3-3 on the day,

the Hornets record stood at

match Tuesday, Sept. 17,

against Gaylord St. Mary.

Wright rang up 45 kills in

the tourney with eight aces

and 45 digs. Hanah had a

hand in 104 assists with 24

digs. Shock Wave Shaylee

put the slam into 31 kills

and Welch whacked out 28.

Breah Carter collected 43

digs and Kelly Lewis had 36.

Breah was a beast at the

stripe also, recording seven

aces. Olivia Grant pounded

11 kills and Sammie Stark

was a shark at the net, put-

ting the bite on five k ills.

DNR Fishing Tip

Targeting walleye in the fall

can offer some of the bestfishing of the season. Here

are a few things to keep in

mind if you target this sport-

fish in the near future.

* In early fall walleye can

be found in a variety of loca-

tions within the water body,

including deep, shallow or

anywhere in between. Keep

that in mind and don't stick

to one depth range.

* If you're out in the morn-ing, check the areas where

deep water meets the shallow

spots.

* As the day progresses

start heading deeper, as wall-

eye can be photosensitive.

* Don't forget to try your

luck during the nighttime

hours! This can be a very pro-

ductive time during the fall,

especially along rock points

and flat areas.To learn more about fish-

ing for walleye in Michigan,

including bait/tackle tech-

niques and locations to try

out, check out their page on

the Michigan Fish & How to

Catch Them website.
