Six area teams move to playoffs
By Mike Dunn
GAYLORD The football
postseason begins this
Friday, Oct. 26, and six area
teams have made the grade
this year.
In Division 4, Cheboygan is
a No. 3 seed in Region 1,
District 1 after posting a 6-3
record in spite of a rugged
independent schedule. The
Chiefs play at the field of No.
2 seed Ogemaw Heights,
which is also 6-3.
In Division 5, Grayling is a
No. 3 seed in Region 1,
District 1 in spite of going
undefeated this season. The
Vikings of coach Tim
Sanchez are part of what is
arguably one of the toughest
districts in the state. They
travel to No. 2 seed Kingsford
(8-1) for a Saturday kickoff at
1 p.m.
In Division 7, undefeated
Mancelona plays host to
Whittemore-Prescott in a
rematch of last years playoff
opener at the field of the
Ironmen. The Ironmen are
the No. 2 seed in Region 1,
District 1. The Cardinals
come in with a 6-3 record.
In Division 8,
Johannesburg-Lewiston is
the No. 1 seed in Region 2,
District 1. The Cardinals of
coach John Bush, who fin-
ished 7-2, play host to
Hillman (6-3). On the other
side of the district, Onaway
(5-4) travels to the field of No.
2 seed Central Lake (6-3).
In Region 2, District 2, Mio
(6-3) travels south to take on
unbeaten Beal City (9-0).
DIVISION 4
CHEBOYGAN (6-3) at
OGEMAW HEIGHTS (6-3)
The Chiefs of Hall of Fame
coach Jack Coon are coming
off a tough 14-10 loss at St.
Ignace. They will need to
regroup quickly to take on a
surprising Ogemaw team
that started off very slowly
this season but has peaked
remarkably as the season has
gone along.
Cheboygan relies primarily
on a grinding ground assault
featuring the powerful
thrusts of Nic Boom Box
Bevier, Ben Petroleum
Pearson, Andrew Dixon and
Cass Ferguson in addition to
the running and throwing of
senior signal caller Damon
Proctor. The Chiefs are at
their best when theyre doing
the Coon Country Stomp
down the field, methodically
chewing up the game clock
and moving the ball behind
the blow-em-out blocks of
Josh McDill, Ian Elliott and
company up front with some
play-action passes of Proctor
to Stan Swiderek, Austin
Ginop and others mixed in
for good measure.
At one point this season,
Ogemaw appeared nearly
out of it. The Falcons had lost
three of their first five games
but they battled back to beat
Cadillac 24-21 at home and
then travel to Thirlby Field to
shock Traverse City West 56-
39 in week eight.
Cheboygan owns a 9-5
edge in games played
between the schools dating
back to the 1970s. The Chiefs
and Falcons have met twice
before in the playoffs, howev-
er, and Ogemaw has won
each time, defeating
Cheboygan 13-6 in the Class
BB Pre-Regionals in 1996 and
26-21 in the Div. 4 district
championship game of 2006.
The winner of Fridays
game faces the winner of
Chippewa Hills (6-3) at No. 1
seed Big Rapids (8-1) in the
district title game.
DIVISION 5
GRAYLING (9-0) at
KINGSFORD (8-1)
If there was ever a year
when it looked like Grayling
would have the chance to
host a playoff game, this was
it. The Vikings of coach Tim
Sanchez have had a remark-
able season to date, going
undefeated and untied for
the first time ever and win-
ning their first-ever Lake
Michigan Conference cham-
pionship.
But Grayling fell into the
same district as No. 1 seed
Menominee (8-1) and No. 2
seed Kingsford and has to
travel to the western U.P.
once again. The Vikings are
the No. 3 seed in one of the
toughest districts in the state.
Grayling features a prolific
up-tempo assault that con-
tinually puts pressure on
opposing defenses. The
Sanchez Spread is engi-
neered by junior Jake
Swander, who has thrown for
more than 2,500 yards and
has 19 TD tosses on his bur-
geoning ledger. Dual threat
Ty Jensen can bust the ball
up the middle, break into
open spaces around the
edge, catch passes out of the
backfield and block like a
plow.
Swander has numerous
weapons to go to, including
Tyler McClanahan, Scott
Parkinson, Danny Schultz
and quick-strike threat Scout
Tobin in addition to Jensen.
The Grayling defense of
coach Kevin OConnell has
come into its own this sea-
son. OConnells Carnivores
have played voraciously from
the start but have stepped up
their predatory pressure in
more recent weeks. The
Carnivores, featuring the
swarming play of Wild Wes
Dean, Brandon Handrich,
Lucas Walesky, Nick Swiercz,
Michael Branch, Jensen and
others in the front eight, have
kept explosive foes like
Kalkaska and Boyne City
under wraps.
The Carnivores face a tall
order at Kingsford, however.
The Flivvers run the
unorthodox single wing to
perfection and they dont
beat themselves. Before
missing the playoffs last year
with a 5-4 record, Kingsford
had been in the playoffs 11
straight times and had won
at least one postseason game
in 10 of those years.
Grayling and Kingsford
met once before in the play-
offs, at Grayling in 2005 with
the Vikings earning a 35-18
decision in the Div. 4 district
title game.
In the other half of the dis-
trict, No. 4 seed Kingsley (6-
3) plays at No. 1 seed
Menominee (8-1).
DIVISION 7
WHITTEMORE-
PRESCOTT (6-3)
at MANCELONA (9-0)
This is a rematch of the
playoff opener of a year ago
when the Ironmen won at
home 16-14 in the Div. 7 pre-
district game.
The Ironmen of coach Dan
Boo Derrer have won 26
straight regular-season
games and will bring lots of
momentum into the playoffs
after another 9-0 campaign.
The Ironmen feature the
explosive backfield trio of
Wyatt Derrer, Logan Borst
and Trevor Ackler running
behind the Iron Wall
anchored by Dark Diesel
Dalton Sulz, Tristen Fleet,
Garrett Derrer and company.
Opponents who have
focused on trying to stop
Wyatt have watched Borst
and Ackler run wild.
The Cardinals did a pretty
good job of corralling the
Ironmen in last years playoff
game and must do the same
this year to have a shot at
winning. Whittemore is solid
again this year. They defeated
three playoff teams Mio,
Lincoln Alcona and
Standish-Sterling along the
way.
The Cardinal offense has
generated a lot of points
against weaker opponents
but they have not scored a
bunch against the better
opponents they have faced.
The task of the Iron Curtain
defense of Mancelona on
Friday is to force Whittemore
to earn its points. The
Ironmen defense, featuring
linebackers Sulz and Luke
Smigielski and defensive
linemen Brandon Scott,
Dakota Orman, Cody Derrer
and Kevin Schepperley,
among others, has done a
good job of not giving up
quick-strike touchdowns this
season and that trend must
continue.
On the other side of the
district, Lincoln Alcona (6-3)
plays at the field of No. 1 seed
Ishpeming.
DIVISION 8
HILLMAN (5-4)
at JOHANNESBURG-
LEWISTON (7-2)
The Cardinals of coach
John Bush have made the
playoffs for the second year
in a row. They are the No. 1
seed in their district.
After losing two of their
first three games to I-Lakes
and Mancelona, the
Cardinals have won six in a
row and have scored 50-plus
points in three of their last
four games. Versatile all-pur-
pose senior Dillon Kibby has
racked up incredible num-
bers rushing, receiving and
returning punts, kickoffs and
interceptions in recent
games.
Senior Alex Payne is a
three-year starter behind

OConnells Carnivores are predatory force as
Vikes finish unbeaten, claim first league
championship
By Mike Dunn
BOYNE CITY Usually
after a Grayling football vic-
tory, its the eye-popping
offensive statistics that stand
out. After Fridays history-
making triumph at Boyne
City, however, it was the
swarming Viking defense
that grabbed the headlines.
Coach Kevin OConnells
Carnivores came hungry and
stayed hungry through four
quarters of crunch-time foot-
ball, playing with predatory
passion on every snap in a
thoroughly impressive 21-0
shutout of the formerly
unbeaten Ramblers.
It turned out to be a his-
toric night for the Vikings
and head coach Tim
Sanchez. Not only did the
win give Grayling its first
unbeaten season since 1970
and its first-ever unbeaten,
untied season, but the suffo-
cating shutout of the explo-
sive Ramblers gave Grayling
its first-ever Lake Michigan
Conference championship as
well.
This is something weve
been working toward ever
since my brother Ben (Brock)
came here nine years ago (as
head coach), said the smil-
ing Sanchez, who served as
his brothers defensive coor-
dinator before taking over
the helm of the program in
2010. We came close before
but we could never get over
the hump until this year. Now
weve beaten St. Francis, Elk
Rapids, Kalkaska and a really,
really good Boyne team in
the same season and its pret-
ty special for us as coaches
and especially for the kids.
Senior defensive end
Brandon Handrich and sen-
ior middle linebacker Wild
Wes Dean helped to spear-
head the defensive onslaught
on this night.
Handrich, a wild man in
the trenches, penetrated like
a human torpedo, making a
team-high nine tackles and
also recording three sacks of
beleaguered Rambler QB
Corey Redman.
We have great coaches
and they had us ready to
play, the smiling Brandon
said from the sidelines as the
game clock was winding
down. We played a very dis-
ciplined game. We knew
Boyne was good but we all
had confidence we could do
this tonight.
Dean, whose been dealing
out decisive enemy detours
all season long, made eight
tackles and had three behind
the line of scrimmage. He
was thrilled to have the
chance to hoist the champi-
onship trophy in the final
regular-season game of his
distinguished three-year var-
sity career.
Im so proud of my team-
mates and my coaches and
so happy we could win all
nine this year and win the
league as seniors, the jubi-
lant Dean said. Weve had
such great support from the
fans and the community all
season long. Its great to win
it for them, too.
The Grayling defense
asserted itself early against
Boyne.
The Ramblers, playing
before a packed out home
stadium, drove the ball to the
shadow of the Grayling goal
line on their first possession
of the game. A 26-yard hook-
up from Redman to Bradley
Fouchia brought the ball to
the 3-yard line.
The Vikings stiffened, how-
ever, and would not allow the
Ramblers to reach the end
zone. The key play came on
first down. After the
Ramblers lost five yards on a
procedure call, Jamael Kelly
got the ball and tried to
sweep around the left side. It
appeared at first as if he
would score but outside line-
backer Michael Branch flew
in out of nowhere to make an
open-field tackle and stop
Kelly short.
As it turned out, that would
be the closest the Ramblers
would get to the end zone all
game long.
On second down, it was
Handrich penetrating to
reach Redman before he
could pass along with fellow
lineman Lucas Walesky and
blitzing Nick Swiercz. The
sack, the first of eight for the
Carnivores in the game,
pushed the flustered
Ramblers back farther. Two
subsequent Redman passes
on third and fourth down
couldnt make up the lost
ground.
That was huge, Sanchez
said of the early goal-line
stand. It really fed our confi-
dence. After that, we knew
we could stop them.
Boyne struggled mightily
after failing to score on the
opening drive. The Ramblers
had just one first down the
rest of the half and only man-
aged to get past midfield
twice in the second half.
Coach OConnell drew up
a great game plan, Sanchez
said. He had the guys ready
to play tonight and the kids
came out with a lot of pas-
sion and a lot of fire. They
really wanted this one.
Graylings first points came
on the heels of the defensive
stand. Gunslinging junior
signal caller Jake Swander
guided the Vikings on a six-
play, 95-yard march, hitting
favorite target Tyler
McClanahan for 26 yards to
get some breathing room and
then airing it out to the flying
figure of Kevin Harris for 51
yards.
Scrap-iron tough senior Ty
Jensen surged over from a
yard out to score the first of
his three touchdowns in the
contest and the Vikings were
on top for good.
The hard-driving Jensen
added a 6-yard burst to cap a
13-play, 77-yard drive in the
second quarter, a drive in
which the Vikings had to
overcome a clipping penalty.
Branch busted loose on a
trap play up the middle for 24
yards and Swander hit soph-
omore Scout Tobin down the
middle for a 24-yard connec-
tion during the march.
After Jensens TD, Swander
lofted one to the corner of
the end zone and savvy sen-
ior Scott Parkinson tipped
the ball into the air and away
from the Boyne defender
before catching it for two
points and a 14-0 advantage.
The Vikings closed out the
scoring in the third quarter
and it was the defense that
set things up. The Ramblers
were forced to punt from
deep in their own end. When
the Rambler punter momen-
tarily bobbled the ball, it gave
enough time for the flying
Handrich to get there and
make the tackle inside the
10-yard line.
Swander tossed a swing
pass to Jensen after that and
the senior barreled around
left end for an 8-yard TD.
Jensen finished another
productive night with 120
yards rushing in 21 carries
and two catches for 13 yards
along with scoring all three
Viking touchdowns. Branch,
who hits the hole like hes
shot out of a cannon, picked
up 38 yards in five tries.
Swander, who faced a
tough, physical defense
against Boyne, hit on 12-of-
33 attempts for 216 yards. He
found Harris and Tobin twice
each for 64 yards,
McClanahan three times for
37 yards and Parkinson twice
for 40 yards.
Sanchez was particularly
pleased with the play of his
offensive line after the game.
At the start of the season, the
coach was concerned that
the boys up front were too
young and inexperienced.
They proved him wrong.
Concrete Charlie Brown
and Justin Junttila shared the
centering duties and both
did exceptionally well on a
night when the grass was wet
and the air was cool. Sanchez
also commended Nick The
Rock Smock, Emmett
Helsel, Lucas Walesky and
Tyler Wyman for protecting
Swander and creating holes
for Jensen and Branch.
On the defensive side of
the ledger there were also
heroes galore in this one. In
addition to Handrich and
Dean, Swiercz had another
sensational game, making
eight stops and taking part in
two sacks. Jensen made five
takedowns with two sacks.
Walesky, who gave a whale of
an effort on both sides of the
ball, teamed with the Viking
Sumo, David Somero, for two
sacks.
Cornerbacks McClanahan
and Harris covered Boyne
receivers like snow on an
evergreen, each deflecting
two passes in the contest.
Parkinson, a three-year
starter for Sanchez, put an
exclamation point on the his-
toric victory when he made
an interception deep in his
own end to thwart Boynes
final drive of the night.
Senior Ki-Hwan Kim
recovered an onside kick for
the Vikings.

tion Friday at Boyne City.

CHEBOYGAN - West
Branch Ogemaw Heights
might be the hottest high
school football team in
Northern Michigan.
Cheboygan might be the
angriest.
Both are 6-3 and will meet
at 7 p.m. Friday in a Division
4 pre-district playoff game at
Ogemaw. The winner
advances to the district final
the following weekend
against either Remus
Chippewa Hills, 6-3, or Big
Rapids, 8-1. Those two teams
will play at 7 p.m. Friday at
Ferris State University.
Neither the Chiefs nor
Ogemaw is a playoff neo-
phyte, though neither made
the post-season dance last
year. Cheboygan is in the
playoffs for the 17th time, the
Falcons for the 14th.
For the Falcons, the play-
offs started in week 6 after
they began the season 2-3.
They reeled off impressive
wins over Cadillac, 24-21;
Gaylord, 56-6; Traverse City
West, 56-39; and Alpena, 42-
13; to reach the required six
victories to guarantee them a
playoff spot.
The Chiefs clinched their
playoff berth with a 45-0
drubbing of Benzie Central in
week 8, which gave them
three straight wins. They
dropped a frustrating 14-10
decision to unbeaten St.
Ignace in last week's regular-
season finale.
The Chiefs found them-
selves in a 14-0 early in the
second quarter against the
Saints, then clawed back to
draw within 14-10 late in the
third quarter. Twice the
Chiefs threatened in the
fourth quarter, once reaching
the St. Ignace 33-yard line
where three straight penal-
ties snuffed out the drive;
and another time reaching
the Saints' 10, where
Cheboygan failed to convert
a fourth down on its final
possession with under a
minute to play.
That loss stuck in the craw
of the Chiefs over the week-
end, coach Jack Coon said.
Now, however, it's time to
turn the page. If they don't,
it'll be a short stay in the
playoffs. "You can't let St.
Ignace beat you twice," Coon
said. "It's all about the
Ogemaw Heights Falcons
now and how we can go
down there and frustrate and
spoil their first-round playoff
appearance."
The two common oppo-
nents between the Chiefs
and Falcons are Petoskey and
Alpena, and the results were
nearly identical. Cheboygan
defeated Alpena, 42-14, and
lost to Petoskey, 33-14.
Ogemaw fell to the
Northmen, 34-8. That
Ogemaw result against
Petoskey came in the second
week of the season while a
young Falcons team was still
finding itself. Coon scouted
that game in person.
"We saw a struggling
Ogemaw team in the first half
of the season, a team that no
longer exists," Coon said.
"Credit to them and coach
(Andrew) Pratley. He's got his
kids turned around and got
them believing."
A key ingredient to
Ogemaw's resurgence is
quarterback play. Junior
Devin Griffus and sopho-
more Ben Hartley have
shared the signal-calling
duties throughout the sea-
son, and are often on the
field at the same time. "We're
young and we knew we were
young coming into the sea-
son and it was going to take
some time to get going,"
Pratley said. "Neither (quar-
terback) had any varsity
experience and it took them
awhile to get used to the
speed at the varsity level and
the play in the Big North.
"We felt like we were get-
ting better each week and we
finally got some things
rolling." Ogemaw started 0-2
in the Big North, losing to
Petoskey and league-cham-
pion T.C. Central, 42-21. But
it won its final four league
games to finish 4-2 and tied
for second in the conference
with T.C. West.
Coon and Pratley are no
strangers. Friday's game will
mark the eighth meeting
between the schools since
2005. Ogemaw has won four
of the seven meetings,
including a 26-21 victory in a
district championship game
in 2006.
None of that, Pratley said,
means anything come Friday
night.
"I don't really think (histo-
ry) matters too much," he
said. "Each year is different,
each team is different, it's a
different set of kids. I don't
think either team's going to
have an advantage from that
perspective."
For Coon and the Chiefs, a
playoff win would help wash
away the frustration they felt
in falling last week to St.
Ignace, which completed a 9-
0 regular season and goes
into the playoffs as one of the
favorites to reach Ford Field
in Division 8.
"We're happy but not satis-
fied," said Coon, whose team
is seeking its first playoff win
since 2006. "We kind of
recommitted to the idea that
6-3 is not good enough in
Cheboygan. We're trying to
get our program back to
where we know it should it
be.
"With all due respect to
how hard my kids have
worked this year, 6-3 is not
where we want to end up."
The Chiefs ended up -- frus-
tratingly -- on St. Ignace's 10-
yard line with under a
minute to play on Friday. The
Chiefs gave St. Ignace, a team
that was untested in running
roughshod through its first
eight opponents, all it could
handle.
But a slow start and a 14-0
deficit proved a little too
much for the Chiefs to over-
come. St. Ignace drove 69
yards on its opening posses-
sion to take a 7-0 lead on
Galloway Thurston's 3-yard
run. The Saints extended it to
14-0 when Curtis St. Louis
scored on an 8-yard burst
just 11 seconds into the sec-
ond quarter. That drive start-
ed near the Chief 30-yard line
when Cheboygan fumbled.
At that point, it appeared
the Saints could be on their
way to yet another easy vic-
tory. But Cheboygan dug in
through a driving rain and
marched 80 yards late in the
second quarter and got on
the board on Austin Ginop's
24-yard field goal as time
expired in the half. The drive
and the field goal served to
give the Chiefs a measure of
momentum that helped pro-
pel them to fullback Nik
Bevier's 5-yard TD run with
under 3 minutes to play in
the third quarter. The drive
started at the St. Ignace 44
after a Stan Swiderek inter-
ception.
Cheboygan knocked on
the door twice in the fourth
quarter. One potential scor-
ing drive stalled after the
Chiefs were flagged for
penalties -- one false start,
two holdings -- on three con-
secutive plays, backing them
up from a first down at St.
Ignace's 33-yard line to their
own 42.
The Chiefs had a strong
wind at their backs through-
out the final stanza, and they
forced the Saints to punt
from deep in their own terri-
tory with under two minutes
remaining. Swiderek
returned the punt some 20
yards to the St. Ignace 34, and
the Chiefs eventually moved
to the St. Ignace 15 where
they faced third-and-eight
with 52 seconds left.
Quarterback Damon Proctor
hit Ginop with a screen pass,
but Ginop was stopped three
yards short of the first down,
ending the Chiefs' final
threat.
"Our problem has been
starting," Coon said. "A lot of
coaches talk about finishing,
and you've got to finish.
We've got to be more suc-
cessful right out of the gate,
offensively and defensively.
... It's easier to finish when
you start faster."

BOYNE CITY The Pellston
Hornets pushed past the 30-
win mark for the season once
again with a fine perform-
ance in the Boyne City volley-
ball tournament. The
Hornets of coach Brooke
Groff went 3-1-1 on the day
and advanced to the semifi-
nals as their overall record
improved to a solid 32-10-8.
In pool play, Pellston
earned decisions over Inland
Lakes (25-23, 25-20),
Mackinaw City (25-11, 25-12)
and host Boyne City (25-23,
25-19) and tied with Kingsley
(14-25, 25-23). In the semifi-
nals, the Hornets faced off
against the host Ramblers
again but lost this time, 16-
25, 25-16, 9-15.
It was the usual suspects
doing the usual damage for
high-powered Pellston as the
Hornets Miss MacKrunch,
Mackenzie Wright, and
Victoria Rip City Rybinski
helped to lead a furious
assault up front.
Mackenzie MacKrunch
connected for 34 kills and
Rybinski rang up 26. They
werent alone, though.
Middle hitters Tori Kirsch
and Emma Dunham each
delivered 17 kills and Megan
Milbrandt muscled out 11.
Rybinski was in Rip City
mode at the stripe also,
launching lethal missiles all
day long. She finished with a
whopping 15 aces on the day.
Kirsch put the cruise on eight
aces and Kelly Lewis
launched five aces.
Abbie Welch was in a help-
ing mood, like always. The
prolific Hornet setter fed the
artillery up front with fright-
ening efficiency, fueling the
fast and furious onslaught
with her timely deliveries.
She finished with 98 assists.
When Victoria wasnt
viciously slamming kills up
front or delivering aces at the
stripe, she was recording a
team-high 33 digs. Dana
Zulski also put some of the
Zap into the back row contri-
butions, notching 20 digs.
Abbie Welch recorded 19 digs
and Kelly Lewis had 12.
ON TUESDAY, Oct. 16,
Pellston prevailed in a Ski
Valley clash at Central Lake
25-12, 20-25, 25-12, 25-18 to
push its conference record to
5-3.
Mackenzie was in
MacKrunch mode once
again, mauling 15 kills.
Dunham and Rybinski each
visited Rip City 10 times
while Kirsch and Welch each
had three kills.
Abbie also accelerated her
serves to secure six aces and
Tori totaled four aces. Megan
Milbrandt had three. Abbie
also made 34 assists.
Zulski zeroed in on enemy
attacks, making 11 digs to
keep volleys going. Victoria
and Abbie had seven and six
digs, respectively, and Breah
Carter made four digs.
Pellston pushes past 30-win mark
Hornets go 3-1-1 in Boyne tourney, advance to semifinals; Wright, Rybinski rack up kills

MIO The Mio
Thunderbolts appear to be
peaking at the best time. The
Thunderbolts entertained
the home crowd Friday with
another impressive win and
another impressive display of
offensive fireworks, dis-
patching visiting Rogers City
54-24.
Mio improved to 6-3 and
automatically qualified for
the playoffs. The
Thunderbolts travel to Beal
City this Friday, Oct. 26, for a
Division 8 pre-district clash
with the talented, undefeat-
ed Aggies.
This is the 12th year in a
row the Thunderbolts have
qualified for the playoffs and
the 15th time in the past 16
years.
Mio led the Hurons 24-17
at halftime before breaking
things open in the second
half.
The Thunderbolts rang up
547 yards of total offense. The
Bolt Action ground attack
featuring three three-
pronged assault of Bryson
Devers, Seth Thomey and
Aaron Wood generated huge
chunks of real estate
throughout the contest and
QB Brad Rhoads, who isnt
afraid to go vertical, hit on
10-of-18 for 177 yards and
two TD strikes.
Bombardier Brad
hooked up with the fleet-
footed Wood for a 65-yard
score and also found Thomey
for a 31-yard tally.
The elusive Devers dashed
and darted and delivered a
team-high 136 yards rushing
in 16 tries with a score. The
tenacious Thomey tore it up
for 117 yards and two touch-
downs on just four carries
from the slot, including a 54-
yard TD gallop. Wood
whacked and wailed his way
to 81 yards in 11 attempts
with a 25-yard TD burst on
his stat line.
Thomey also hauled in
three aerials for 45 yards and
the dangerous Wood wound
up with two catches for 74
yards. Devers and Colton
McGregor each had two for
24 yards.
On the defensive side, sen-
ior linebacker Aaron Fox cov-
ered the field like green on a
grass blade once again, aid-
ing the fast and furious
Thunderbolt attack with 14
tackles. Devers was in the
delivery room throughout
the contest, taking down
Huron ball carriers 13 times,
including 11 solo stops.
Thomey had a dozen take-
downs and Man Eater Nick
Mangutz devoured Hurons
11 times.
The Bolts forced five
turnovers in the contest, with
fighting freshman Ryan Ellul
making three fumble recov-
eries to lead the way. Aaron
Georgieff also fell on a fum-
ble and the dynamic Devers
made an interception and
returned it 45 yards.
Pickford 30
Onaway 2
ONAWAY The host
Cardinals had a tough
assignment for their final
regular-season game, taking
on rugged U.P. foe Pickford.
The Panthers came in with
just two losses to Ski Valley
powers Mancelona and St.
Ignace and they performed
well, earning a 30-2 victory at
Onaway.
In spite of the loss, the
Cardinals still finished with a
5-4 record for the second
year in a row and made the
playoffs for the first time
since 2006. The Cardinals
play at the field of league
rival Central Lake this Friday,
Oct. 26. It is a rematch of the
week-eight game played at
Central Lake on October 12,
which the Trojans won.
Onaway scored the first
points of the game Friday
when Pickford failed to exe-
cute a punt and the ball went
through the end zone. The
Panthers bore their teeth
after that, however, scoring
four unanswered touch-
downs, one in each quarter.
The Panthers did a good
job of keeping explosive tail-
back Jason Sigsby from
cracking the long one. Sigsby
drew defenders like magnets
every time he touched the
ball. Sigsby still battled for a
respectable 51 yards in 12
carries but he was never able
to break free.
Fullback Chae Whitsitt had
a nice game on both sides of
the ball once again. Whitsitt
busted and bulled his way to
80 yards in nine carries,
including a 44-yard burst.
QB Matt Tollini frequently
faced pressure from the
Panthers and was forced to
throw on the run different
times. Tollini hit on four
passes for 34 yards with
Carlos Bautista grabbing two
for 13 yards.
On the defensive side for
the Cardinals, Whitsitt was all
over the place, making a
team-high 15 tackles. Tollini
was tough, too, accounting
for 14 takedowns, and the
Meat Man, Chris Cleaver, put
the clamps on Panther ball
carriers a dozen times. Justin
Gedda put the grab on
Panther backs nine times.
Bautista absolutely
boomed the ball with his
punts, averaging more than
40 yards.
Atlanta 60
Gaylord St. Mary 20
ATLANTA The young St.
Mary Snowbirds of coach
Denny YoungeDyke started
off well on Friday at Atlanta,
as they have many times this
season, but as the game went
along the speed and explo-
siveness of the host Huskies
became too difficult to stop.
Atlanta prevailed 60-20
behind the pinpoint passing
of senior Garrett Badgero.
The Snowbirds, who had
six freshmen and sopho-
mores among their 11
starters on Friday, finished a
tough 2012 campaign with a
winless record.
St. Mary didnt have the
size, talent or speed to stay
with Atlanta but the young
Snowbirds did show up and
play, as they have all year for
YoungeDyke and his staff.
Speedy tailback Nick
Harrington, the Snowbirds
lone breakaway threat, was
on his way to a super game
before suffering an injury
and being forced to the side-
lines late in the first quarter.
Before leaving the game,
Harrington already had 69
yards rushing and had scored
on a 6-yard run.
Junior QB Charles Strehl
connected twice with senior
tight end Nick Lochinski for
TD strikes of 45 and 21 yards
for the other two Snowbird
scores in the contest.
YoungeDyke credited sen-
ior Matt Spyhalski for a gritty
effort at tailback after
Harrington had to leave.
Spyhalski sped and stomped
his way to 65 yards rushing.
The strong-armed Strehl
completed six passes for 122
yards, with Lochinski latch-
ing on to four of those aerial
missiles for 93 yards.
On the defensive side, jun-
ior nose guard Willie Canfield
came up with a team-high
nine tackles, including a
sack, while Lochinski put the
lock on Huskie ball carriers
eight times and Spyhalski
made seven stops.
YoungeDyke credited his
team with playing hard
through trying circum-
stances this season.
The last week of practice,
you couldnt tell if we were an
8-0 team or an 0-8 team, he
said. The kids came to play
every day and gave an effort.
YoungeDyke, a veteran
coach who stepped down
after the final game to enjoy
retirement with his family,
credited scrappy seniors
Spyhalski, Lochinski and
Cam Switalski for their lead-
ership on and off the field
this season thanked all the
seniors for their contribu-
tions.
Stephen Hare and Dylan
Masko also played their final
game at Atlanta along with
Spyhalski, Lochinski and
Switalski.
JV
Johannesburg-Lewiston 36
Central Lake 22
JOHANNESBURG The
Johannesburg-Lewiston JV
squad overcame three
turnovers and a tough, tal-
ented Central Lake opponent
on Thursday, Oct. 18, defeat-
ing the Trojans 36-22.
The Cardinals of coach Joe
Smokevitch finished a strong
season with a 7-1 record.
They also reversed the heart-
breaking 36-34 loss they suf-
fered at Central Lake earlier
in the season.
This group has tremen-
dous potential and they
showed it last night,
Smokevitch said. I look for-
ward to great things from
these young men down the
road as J-L football players
and as citizens in our com-
munity.
J-L took a 28-8 lead into
the fourth quarter. After
Central Lake scored to trim
the lead to 28-14, the
Cardinals sealed the deal
with 6:39 remaining when
QB Brandon Huff busted
loose for an 11-yard tally and
then Huff tossed for two
points to Nick May.
Huff did a masterful job of
engineering the complex J-L
wing-T assault once again as
the young Cardinals did their
version of the Smokevitch
Stomp, pounding the ball
between the tackles time
after time while amassing an
eye-popping 374 rushing
yards in 57 carries with five
touchdowns.
The vaunted May Day
Attack yielded lots of prime
real estate as Ethan May
muscled, mauled and
motored his way to a game-
high 156 yards rushing in 15
carries and scored on TD gal-
lops of 14 and 10 yards. Nick
May maneuvered and raced
to 81 yards in 16 tries with a
4-yard TD burst in addition
to his two-point reception.
Brandon Huff accounted
for 84 yards in 13 attempts
while commandeering the
offense and he had a TD
burst of 3 yards in addition to
his 11-yard sweep to paydirt
in the fourth quarter. Lunch
Truck Logan Huff launched
himself to 48 yards in 12 tries
with a conversion run on his
stat line. Dale Wells also
delivered a 5-yard run.
When Brandon went to the
air, he hooked up with
Brenden Prentice for 18 yards
and had conversion connec-
tions with dangerous Dan
Nieman and Nick May.
Brandon also put plenty of
BOOM into the defense, par-
ticipating in 20 tackles,
including a tackle for loss.
Nathan Fox put some of the
fast and the fury into the
Cards defensive onslaught,
accumulating 19 tackles with
a fumble recovery.
The Vlasic Vacuum, Trevor
Pickelmann, had a dilly of a
night also, taking part in 17
tackles. Logan Huff laid down
Trojan ball carriers a dozen
times and Dominic Vogt cast
his ballot for the J-L defense,
putting the halt to Trojan ball
carriers 11 times.
Ben Hicks recorded 100
yards rushing for the talented
Trojans and scored twice and
Luke Seaney, who scored the
final-second touchdown that
enabled Central Lake to beat
the Cardinals the first time
around, grinded out 78 yards
in 17 carries.
Mancelona 34
Inland Lakes 30
MANCELONA The young
Ironmen of coach Doug
Derrer scored twice in the
fourth quarter which has
been their most explosive
quarter all season long and
then held off a late charge by
visiting Inland Lakes to post
a tense, exciting 34-30 victory
on Thursday, Oct. 18, in the
final contest for the JV teams.
Mancelona trailed 22-20
entering the final quarter but
tough Tyler Fults flew over
from a yard out at the start of
the quarter and then ran in
for two points to give the
young Ironmen a 28-22 lead.
Midway through the quar-
ter, Mancelona added some
insurance when Chase
Wilcox churned up the turf
on a 15-yard burst off-tackle,
increasing the lead to 34-22.
I-Lakes wasnt finished,
though. The game Bulldogs
battled back to pull within
four points when Ethan
Jankowiak unfurled the
bomb and Spencer
Hutchinson latched onto it to
produce a 67-yard touch-
down with 3:06 left to play.
The successful conversion
trimmed the Mancelona lead
to 34-30 and thats how it
would end up.
Quarterback Cole
VanWagoner, the super-
charged Mancelona V.W.,
scored a pair of touchdowns
in the final game of the JV
campaign to cap an out-
standing season. Wilcox
wheeled and dealed and
wove his way to 147 yards
rushing in 18 carries while
the flying feet of Fults carried
him to 95 yards in 15
attempts. C.J. Short stepped
up big at fullback once again,
pounding and pushing his
way to 43 yards in 13 carries.
On the defensive side for
the young Ironmen, it the the
B.W. Bruiser, Brandon
Willson, leading the way
once again with eight tackles.
VanWagoner put the brakes
on Bulldog ball carriers seven
times and also came up with
a pick.
Wilcox was in whack ses-
sion seven times. Short put
the stop on five times with a
fumble recovery and Tim
Campeau and Fults also had
five tackles. The Ironman
Outlaw, Jesse Janus, arrested
Bulldog ball carriers five
times and also had a fumble
recovery.

Time was a 5-4 might have
been a reason to celebrate in
the Petoskey High School
football program.
These days, not so much.
And that's a good thing,
according to coach Kerry
VanOrman.
Petoskey's run of consecu-
tive playoff appearances
ended at four on Friday with
a 22-17 non-league loss to
Menominee in the regular-
season finale at Curtis Field.
The Northmen finished 5-4
and missed the playoffs for
the first time since 2007.
"Sometimes things like this
are good, a wakeup call to get
that hunger back a little bit,"
VanOrman said. From that
standpoint, I got a good pos-
itive sense from the coaches
and the players that they
want to get better.
"The work starts now for
next year. We're putting our
winter program together and
we had a meeting with the
kids (Monday). We said we
want to get back to contend-
ing for the league and mak-
ing the playoffs."
Back-to-back losses to
Cadillac and Traverse City
Central in weeks 3 and 4,
respectively, doomed
Petoskey's Big North
Conference championship
hopes. But the Northmen
hung in and went into
Friday's finale needing a vic-
tory to clinch a trip to the
post-season.
They took a 17-14 lead
thanks to a 38-yard Louis
Lamberti field goal in the
third quarter before
Menominee went on a six-
plus minute drive to score
what turned out to be the
game-winning touchdown.
The Maroons, 8-1, tacked
on a safety with under a
minute to play for the final
margin. Friday's game was,
in a way, a microcosm of
Petoskey's season: The
Northmen hung tough, had
some ups and downs, and in
the end came up short.
"Our effort was great,"
VanOrman said of the game.
"Our kids played hard. We
had a few mistakes, a few
holding penalties and a per-
sonal foul that set up their
second touchdown. Our kids
overall, they played really
well. It was a playoff game for
us. It was a playoff atmos-
phere."
Petoskey had won at least
eight games -- and won or
shared the Big North
Conference championship
three times -- in the previous
four seasons. That run of suc-
cess raised the bar of expec-
tation at a school that had
not seen a winning season
from 1999-2007.
The Northmen entered
2012 with huge shoes to fill at
several key positions, includ-
ing running back, where Joe
Robbins, perhaps the best
player in school history, had
wrapped up a sensational
career with a standout 2011
campaign.
Junior Chase Ledingham
showed early on that he,
along with several others,
was capable of stepping up
and filling the void, giving
Petoskey a legitimate run
threat in its ball-control
offense. But Ledingham was
injured in the second game, a
victory over West Branch
Ogemaw Heights. He had run
for 299 yards through
Petoskey's first two games,
and appeared on his way to a
big year, one that might help
carry the Northmen to
league-contender status and
a playoff berth. Ledingham
returned later in the season
and was effective, but anoth-
er injury sidelined him for
ensuing games. In the end,
he played in just half of
Petoskey's contest.
"It hurt us, no question,"
VanOrman said of losing
Ledingham. "We were lack-
ing that kid to get that extra
yard." Without Ledingham
for much of the time, the
Northmen struggled against
a schedule laden with strong
foes.
Still, the likes of senior
Tony DeAgostino and sopho-
more Kurt Boucher per-
formed admirably in running
the ball, and quarterback
Quinn Ameel proved a very
effective passer in an offense
designed to keep the ball on
the ground and control the
clock.
"We knew we really had to
play perfect this year,"
VanOrman said. "Seven
teams on our schedule are
going to the playoffs. I don't
know when that's happened
before. Our schedule was
pretty good this year. The
teams in the BNC were better
overall."
Ameel, a senior and a
three-year varsity veteran,
finished the year with 39
completions on 70 attempts
for 749 yards and 10 touch-
downs. He also rushed for
188 yards on 45 attempts.
"We lose Quinn, who's
been an outstanding quar-
terback, probably one of the
best quarterbacks I've had
throwing the ball," said
VanOrman, who just com-
pleted his 10th year as
Petoskey's coach. "We will
miss him. That's a big guy
we've got to replace there."
DeAgostino was Ameel's
top receiver with 17 catches
for 339 yards and six TDs,
while Pat Antonides finished
with 15 catches for 292 yards
and three TDs. Both
DeAgostino and Ameel were
mainstays in the secondary
on defense as well, sharing
the team lead with three
interceptions apiece.
DeAgostino emerged as
Petoskey's chief scoring
threat. He finished with 279
yards rushing, including 79
against Menominee, on 51
carries. DeAgostino also
hauled in a 30-yard TD pass
from Ameel in the game, giv-
ing him nine TDs on the year
including six through the air,
both team bests.
"Tony solidified and bal-
anced things out for us,"
VanOrman said. "He had the
ability to break it and he's a
great receiver. He had a great
year."
Despite his injuries,
Ledingham finished as the
Northmen's leading rusher
with 550 yards on 71 carries
(a 7.7 yard average), while
Boucher showed continual
improvement and completed
the year with 511 yards on
112 attempts. Boucher and
Ledingham will return next
season, as will fullback Shea
Whitmore.
"Boucher was getting
yards, tough yards, first-
down yards, that he wasn't
getting (earlier in the year),"
VanOrman said. "I'm excited
to see him next year."
While the Northmen will
return three starters in the
backfield, just one starter, left
tackle James Gazarato,
returns up front. "We lose our
entire starting defensive line,
and on the offensive line we
lose everybody but
Gazarato," VanOrman said.
"But I think we've got some
good kids coming up, espe-
cially some linemen. I think
we do have some depth
there."

GAYLORD Senior
Charlend Howard made the
final Big North Conference
cross country meet of his
career a truly memorable one,
capturing second place over-
all at the Gaylord Country
Club on Tuesday, Oct. 16, and
earning individual Big North
medalist honors this year.
Howard, who logged an
average of a whopping 61
miles per week over the hot
summer months, left nothing
to chance for his senior sea-
son with the Blue Devils.
Charlend was consistently
exceptional in every Big North
jamboree, finishing in third
place, second place and sec-
ond place in the three meets.
The way the points system
works, the best finish of the
first two meets is added to the
finish in the final jamboree.
Charlends four points put
him ahead of Anthony Berry
of T.C. Central, who finished
first just head of Charlend in
the final meet but who had a
total of seven points.
Berry crossed the finish line
of the hilly Gaylord course in
a solid time of 6:34.7 with
Howard close behind in sec-
ond place in 6:38.7.
After last seasons second
place Big North finish to
Jonah Laursen, Charlend
wanted this so much and I am
so happy for him, said
Gaylord coach Jeff Kalember.
He deserves the honor more
than any athlete I've coached
in a long time. Hard work,
goal setting, focus and deter-
mination are words that he
follows daily. What a great day
for Charlend!
Charlend is the third
Gaylord harrier to capture
individual medalist honors in
the Big North, following in the
footsteps of former teammate
Jayden Hesselink in 2009 and
Jordan Emmorey before that.
Fellow senior Nate Fischer
also had a strong BNC final,
coming in with second-team
All-Conference honors. Nate
came in 14th place overall in
17:43 and finished 10th in the
league in points.
Junior Sterling McPherson
(17:55, 19th), senior Ian
Callison (18:05, 21st) and
sophomore Collin Monusko
(18:21, 26th) rounded out
Gaylords top five with solid
performances, giving the Blue
Devils a fine third-place fin-
ish.
Its always tough to go up
against TC Central and TC
West, but to come in ahead of
the D-2 teams Petoskey,
Cadillac and Ogemaw is
always our goal, Kalember
said. They are the type of
teams we face at regionals
and that is our focus.
The Gaylord girls also had a
solid performance in the Oct.
16 meet at the Gaylord
Country Club, edging ever
close to Cadillac and finishing
fifth.
TCC, TCW and Alpena are
all top notch D-1 schools but
coming in ahead of Petoskey
and Ogemaw was what we
were shooting for, Kalember
said. In the first Big North
meet Cadillac beat us by 35
points and by 40 points in the
second meet, but today we
were only 18 behind them.
The girls are running faster
and looking better and I do
believe we have a shot at the
top five at regionals, possibly
the top three.
Junior Ellen Seidell was the
Blue Devils No. 1 runner, fin-
ishing nearly within the All-
Conference group. Ellen took
18th place overall in 21:45.4,
giving her a top-20 finish in
the final league points stand-
ings.
Katelynn Dreyer crossed
the finish line in 21:57.9, giv-
ing her 21st place in the meet
and also giving her a top-20
finish in the final league
standings.
Senior Maria Warren
(22:02.9, 22nd) finished on
Katelynns heels to take the
No. 3 spot for the Blue Devils
with senior Geena Duff
(22:20.7, 28th) close behind
Maria. Feisty freshman
Mallory Marshall (23:17.3,
34th) rounded out Gaylords
top five in the final league
meet.
On the JV side, Ian Rudel
finished a solid 12th place in a
time of 19:12.2.
Northmen end with Winning Record, Miss Playoffs

MIDLAND -- It's not like
the Petoskey High School
boys soccer team is playing
with something to prove.
Then again, every little bit
helps in the state tourna-
ment. The Northmen dusted
Goodrich, 4-1, Tuesday in a
Division II regional semifinal
and will play East Lansing 5
p.m. Saturday for the region-
al championship at Midland
High School.
Tuesday's win gives
Petoskey, 15-8-2, a crack at its
first regional crown since
2009, when it finished as the
state runner-up after win-
ning the state title in '08. If
they beat East Lansing, the
Northmen will play in the
state semifinals on
Wednesday, Oct. 31. East
Lansing is 17-2-4 and ranked
fourth in the Division II state
coaches poll. Petoskey is
unranked after falling to sev-
eral top-notch programs,
including several in Division
I, early in the season.
"We all feel a little vindicat-
ed to be in the final eight
because we felt like we were a
top 10 team all year,"
Petoskey coach Zach Jonker
said after Tuesday's win over
Goodrich. "But we dug our-
selves a hole and it took us
two-thirds of the year to
crack .500 and they're not
going to rank a team with a
losing record.
"There's no sense of satis-
faction. These guys want to
get another one."
East Lansing was one of
those teams the Northmen
played during a brutal regu-
lar-season schedule that has,
without question, helped to
prepare them for the state
tournament. The teams
played to a scoreless tie in
East Lansing a month ago.
"To be honest, we sched-
uled the game (with East
Lansing) before we knew
what the regional pairings
would be," Jonker said. "But
we knew they were going to a
top-5 Division II team. We
played them pretty evenly.
Both teams were down a cou-
ple starters because of
injuries and I think both
teams probably felt like they
left at least one goal on the
field. It's going to be a really
entertaining back-and-forth
game."
Petoskey's win over
Goodrich was exactly that --
for a half.
Petoskey's AJ Hoffman
scored on a penalty kick five
minutes into the second half
to break a 1-1 tie, then the
Northmen went up 3-1 on a
goal by Louis Lamberti about
25 minutes later. Adam Bayer
scored an insurance goal
with 12 minutes left.
Lamberti scored
Petoskey's first goal 24 min-
utes into the game. The
Martians, 17-5-2, tied it with
16 minutes to play in the half
on what Jonker described as
a "blistering" free kick from
35 yards out.
"We controlled the first
half, put them under a lot of
pressure," Jonker said. "We
just played the same way (in
the second half ) and we
knew eventually we'd break
through."
Petoskey's Noah Honaker
and Matt Dankert marked
Goodrich standout Garrett
Nitschke. "(Nitschke) was
probably 6-2 and really fast,
and he had like 28 goals on
the year," Jonker said, adding
that the Martians' strategy
was simply to find Nitschke
with long leading passes. But
Honaker and Dankert did an
outstanding job of putting
the brakes on that method,
eventually leading to a frus-
trating night for Nitschke and
his teammates.
"I was really happy with
how we adjusted to the artifi-
cial turf, especially because it
was raining and the field was
slick," Jonker said. "I thought
we dominated possession
and I was a little surprised by
that. You could sense they
were getting really frustrated
in the second half. They got
almost a little desperate
because they'd win (the ball)
and they'd look to find
(Nitschke) up top as fast as
possible.
"We have really skilled
defenders who initiate a lot
of our offense. They'll win the
ball and instead of knocking
it long, they find one of our
midfielders with a purpose-
ful pass."
Honaker and Dankert got
ample help on the defensive
side of things from Connor
Ingleson and Trent
McCullough, Jonker said.
Senior Drew Smith posted
the victory in goal.
"He was busy collecting a
lot of errant through balls,"
Jonker said. "Drew did well to
get off his line and scoop a lot
of those up."
Hoffman assisted on both
of Lamberti's goals, and he
started the scoring sequence
on Petoskey's final goal with
a corner kick that Lamberti
headed to Bayer.
The Northmen reached the
regional with a 5-0 win
Saturday over Bay City
Western in the district cham-
pionship match at Petoskey's
Click Road Soccer Complex.
It was Petoskey's first district
title for the Northmen since
2009, and the first for the
eight seniors on the
Northmen roster.
Bayer, Lamberti, Hunter
Viles, Evan Altman and
Griffin Christensen scored
Petoskey's goals. Smith and
Cooper Carpenter shared the
shutout.

INDIAN RIVER
Mancelona did it, as expect-
ed, but it was a rough battle
at the field of fired up Inland
Lakes on Friday. The
Bulldogs of coach Stan
Schramm, playing for pride
in front of a large home
crowd, showed up and
played tough, physical foot-
ball.
The Bulldogs kept things
close through the first half. In
the second half, Mancelonas
vaunted ground-and-pound
attack began to generate
opportunities for the fleet,
explosive backfield trio of
Wyatt Derrer, Logan Borst
and Trevor Ackler and that
was the difference as the
Ironmen of coach Dan Boo
Derrer busted out to a 40-8
triumph.
Mancelona completed a 9-
0 regular season for the sec-
ond straight time and won its
26th straight regular-season
game. The scrappy Bulldogs
finished with a 4-5 mark.
The Ironmen are home this
Friday, Oct. 26, in the Div. 7
playoff opener with
Whittemore-Prescott. It is a
rematch of last years playoff
opener when the Cardinals
visited Mancelona and the
Ironmen prevailed.
Mancelona is seeking to
win a home playoff opener
for the third year in a row.
In Fridays game at Inland
Lakes, it was the fullback
Borst putting the BOOM into
Boos grinding ground
assault, barreling, busting
and breaking behind the
blow-em-out blocks of Dark
Diesel Dalton Sulz, Tristen
Fleet, Tristan Waters, Garrett
Derrer, Darrel Kiel, Dakota
Orman and company along
with tight ends Brandon
Scott and Luke Smigielski.
Logan launched through the
holes, gobbling real estate
like a crazed speculator as he
amassed a whopping 261
rushing yards on 19 carries
with a TD.
Wyatt laid the law down
also, galloping to 84 yards in
12 carries with a TD and the
speedy Ackler, engineer of
the Ack Attack, motored to 82
yards and tasted the turf in
the end zone three times.
The Iron Curtain defense
of the Ironmen, fueled by the
fast, furious play of lineback-
ers Sulz and Smigielski along
with Scott, Orman and
Keegan Richardson in the
trenches, did a good job of
keeping the tough, talented
group of Bulldog backs from
breaking out for quick-strike
scores.
Quarterback Shane Bacon
turned in a typically gritty
performance behind center.
Bacon sizzled at times with
the ball in his hands, maneu-
vering his way to a team-high
75 yards rushing and he also
hit on four passes for another
42 yards.
Senior Jordyn Smeltzer tal-
lied on a 3-yard burst in the
second quarter for I-Lakes
and Christian Wallace wove
his way around the end for
the two-point conversion to
forge an 8-8 halftime tie.
Wallace whacked and
wailed his way to 71 yards
and Smeltzer strode and
stomped to 70 yards against
the aggressive, swarming
Ironmen defense. Senior
Cody Bonilla, one of several
Bulldog players to cap
notable prep careers in front
of the appreciative home
crowd, battled between the
tackles for 48 yards in 17 car-
ries.
Bonilla, a high-impact,
two-way starter for Schramm
since he was a sophomore,
finished just 40 yards shy of
1,000 for the season.
Defensive end Stanley
Schramm and linebacker
Bacon put the bite on
Ironmen ball carriers 11
times apiece to pace the I-
Lakes defense. Nick Howry
put the hammer down eight
times and also had a fumble
recovery. Wallace wound up
with eight tackles and Trevor
Mallory made seven stops.
Ironmen cap 9-0 regular season

LOCAL SPORTS
By Andy Sneddon
The Petoskey High School
volleyball team has put
together another outstand-
ing season under sixth-year
coach Heather Miller. What
would take it to the next level
is a district championship.
The Northmen were
scheduled to close the regu-
lar season on Wednesday,
Oct. 24, with a Big North
Conference match at Alpena,
then head into Class A dis-
trict tournament play next
week at Gaylord.
The Northmen were 34-4-4
overall, 8-3 league heading
into their match with the
Wildcats, and are coming off
a first-place finish at the
Carrie Bricker-Hauger
Memorial at Boyne City last
weekend. The Bricker-
Hauger championship gave
Petoskey four titles in five
tournament appearances
this season. A fifth -- the dis-
trict crown -- is the one they
most covet.
"I think the girls are really
hungry to take the district
title back," said Miller, whose
team lost to Traverse City
West in the district title game
last season after winning the
crown -- their first in Class A -
- in 2010. "I have eight sen-
iors on my team and this is
their last shot at it. It's cer-
tainly something that's with-
in our reach. Our district is a
tough one. There are a lot of
solid teams there."
The Northmen open the
tournament on Tuesday, Oct.
30, against host Gaylord. The
winner advances to the semi-
finals on Saturday, Nov. 30,
and will play Sault Ste. Marie.
Traverse City West, Traverse
City Central, Alpena and
Marquette comprise the
other half of the bracket. The
Northmen swept Gaylord,
both in straight sets, in Big
North matches this season,
and did not face the Sault
during the regular season.
Of Petoskey's four losses,
three came in the Big North.
Two of those were to league-
champion and eighth-ranked
(Class B) Cadillac, the other
to T.C. West. The Northmen
and West split their two con-
ference clashes, each win-
ning at home. Petoskey's
other loss came to Clarkston
in a tournament final.
Clarkston is ranked third in
the Class A state coaches
poll.
"We need to control what
we can control on our side of
the net, not look past any-
body," Miller said. "Be confi-
dent in ourselves and hope-
fully it'll carry us through.'
The senior-dominated
Petoskey lineup is led by 6-
foot-3 middle hitter Megan
Tompkins, who has verbally
committed to Michigan State
and will sign in November.
Tompkins is the team leader
in kills. Kelsey Ance, who has
signed with Lake Superior
State to play basketball, is an
all-around force and leads
the Northmen in aces and
digs. Both Tompkins and
Ance are four-year varsity
veterans.
Among the other top
Northmen are Alyssa
VanWerden, Liz Fraser and
setter Shannon Cosens.
Senior Breanna Merriam and
junior Jayme Larson have
done an admirable job in
stepping in for senior Annie
Hansen, who was lost for the
season to a knee injury,
Miller said.

complex J-L wing-T attack.
The Tigers have earned a
Div. 8 playoff berth for the
sixth time in seven years by
closing strong with back-to-
back victories over Oscoda
and Hale.
J-L owns a 12-10 edge in
the all-time series between
the teams. The teams faced
each other in the playoffs in
2009 with the Cardinals win-
ning by a shutout, 38-0.
district are two familiar Ski

plays at Central Lake.
DIVISION 8
ONAWAY (5-4) at
CENTRAL LAKE (6-3)
The Cardinals of coach
Brian Whitsitt will try to
reverse a loss at Central Lake
in week eight of the regular
season.
Onaway features some
explosive playmakers in tail-
back Jason Sigsby and
receivers Tommy Auger,
Justin Gedda and Carlos
Bautista. Fullback Chae
Whitsitt is rawhide tough as a
blocker and can also bust
loose toting the ball. QB Matt
Tollini has given the
Cardinals an added dimen-
sion as a passer this season.
Central Lake is a big,
imposing team that has got-
ten better as the season has
gone along. The Trojans were
2-3 at the midway point of
the season with losses to tal-
ented foes Pickford,
Mancelona and
Johanneburg-Lewiston. They
have won four straight since
then, however, including a
45-14 decision over Onaway.
This is Onaways first trip
to the postseason since 2006.
DIVISION 8
MIO (6-3) at
BEAL CITY (9-0)
This is a very tough draw
for the Thunderbolts but the
Mio players of coach Jim
Gendernalik are accustomed
to being in the postseason
and playing in high-stakes
games.
The Thunderbolts have
some electrifying playmak-
ers, including Bryson Devers
and Aaron Wood in the back-
field and slot receiver Seth
Thomey as a runner and
receiver. Junior quarterback
Brad Rhoads is not afraid to
go vertical and has several
scoring plays of 50-plus yards
on his ledger this season.
Mio, the No. 4 seed in the
district, can score points in a
hurry. The question is how
well the Thunderbolts can do
defensively against a Beal
City team that is young but
very fast and very skilled. The
Aggies are 9-0 and look to be
a team that can go a long way
in the playoffs this year,
unless a scrappy, determined
team like Mio can derail their
fortunes.

By Ryan Bokas
JOHANNESBURG - It's not
how you start it's how you
finish. Wins in the beginning
of the season to carry as
much weight as those won
towards the season. The
football game played in
Johannesburg on Friday
night was a battle of teams
headed in different direc-
tions. For Pellston, the 2012
season started off with a
bang, winning the first four
games in a row before stum-
bling against a tough
Mancelona team. Since then
the team has rattled off four
straight losses. For the home
cardinals, they had a couple
of early season miscues, also
losing to powerhouse
Mancelona and a barn burn-
er against a talented Inland
Lake squad. All
Johannesburg has done since
then is bust out 5 consecu-
tive wins trying to sustain the
great play for a deep playoff
run.
For head coach John Bush
it was important to make
sure his team didn't start
think playoffs to early and
overlook a dynamic Pellston
squad. "Let's take care of
business here, tonight, and
then we'll get excited for the
playoffs after that." His play-
ers bought into his coaching
early as the Cardinals got off
to a quick start scoring a pair
of touchdowns from late sea-
son stud Mitch Hardy. His
first score was a 48 yard
explosion through Pellston
defensive line that showed
that this talented senior has
the elusiveness of a smaller
tailback. His second was a 12
yard blast where he ran
straight up the gut and car-
ried Pellston defenders with
him to the end zone. Mitch
Hardy has been quiet as of
late but is really coming up
big as of late which is really
big for Johannesburg if thy
want to make a deep playoff
run. He has the holy grail of
skills for talented backs, he
has gazelle-like moves for
eluding defenders along with
scary power for going
through defenders.
Along with Hardy, the vet-
eran senior class for the
Cardinals makes them a
scary draw for anyone who
plays them in the playoffs.
The combination of senior
QB Alex Payne, and senior
running back Dillon Kibby is
also a threat to score when-
ever they touch the ball. Alex,
who struggled throwing the
ball early in the season has
gone to the air recently with a
lot of success. This has forced
opposing defenses to not be
able to stack the box in
preparation for the run.
With the home team up 12-
0 at the end of the first quar-
ter, Payne handed the ball off
to Kibby for a 10 yard run to
the end zone, and on the next
set of downs gave it to Hardy
for his 3 touchdown of the
game. As time was coming to
a close in the first half Payne
showed off his arm as he
threw a perfect ball to his
favorite target, Kibby for a
quarter ending touchdown
that lit up the scoreboard
making it 34-0 Cardinals.
The Cardinal offense may
have been close to perfect as
the 3 headed monster of
Kibby, Payne and Hardy all
had huge games. Payne had 1
throwing TD and 1 rushing
TD, Kibby had 245 all pur-
pose yards along with a TD of
his own, and Hardy had 11
carries for 161 yards and a
hat trick of TD's. However the
defense was equally awe-
some on this night. They
were able to hold Pellston to
a meager 56 yards rushing,
and 17 yards through the air
for 73 all purpose yards.
Pellston season ended with
the 42-0 loss, but the
Cardinals are hoping this is
just beginning. It is playoff
time and this is what the
team prepares for all season
long. Coach Bush knows that
it's win or go home now, so
every game needs to be
played like its your last, and
with his team peaking right
now and firing on all cylin-
ders this team looks scary for
any team playing them.

They know the course, but
not much about the compe-
tition. Such is the case for the
Petoskey High School boys
and girls cross country
teams as they head to the
Division II regional on
Saturday at Benzie Central.
The Northmen will return to
the course on which they
opened the season.
"They all know what the
course is and what their time
was," first-year Petoskey
coach Jim Harrington said.
"It's a real advantage to
have run that course and
been on it and they know
what they're capable of.
They've got the fitness at this
point, it's more getting ready
to run and doing your best.
It's a big mental game at this
point."
Just one of the other
schools in the 15-team field,
Gaylord, is familiar to
Harrington and the
Northmen. "There are a lot
of unknowns as far as what
our competition will be like,"
he said. "There are all thee
teams that we don't run
against all year long. It's sort
of hard to predict how we'll
do."
The Northmen girls are led
by sophomore Sydney Hopp,
who qualified for the state
finals a year ago. Hopp has
been a solid top-10 finisher
all season, and is a good bet
to return to the state finals.
The top three teams advance
to the state finals, which are
scheduled for Saturday, Nov.
3, at Michigan International
Speedway in Jackson. Any
runner finishing in the top
15 at the regional advances
to state, regardless of
whether his or her team fin-
ishes in the top three.
Morgan Jons along with
fellow seniors Claire
Brummeler and Jill
Antonishen help form a solid
core behind
Hopp, while freshman
Melissa Meyers will also be
in the mix, Harrington said.
Senior Logan Hensley and
junior Mark Smith lead the
Northmen boys, who,
Harrington said, could send
a number of runners to the
state finals, if not the entire
team.
"We've got four solid guys
then we've got three guys
who could have a breakout
race that day," he said.
"They're very fit. Anything's
possible. The bottom line is
you just want to have good
races that day. It's about run-
ning well and competing
well."
Sophomore Tom
VanSlembrouck and fresh-
man Max Meyerson have run
in the third and fourth slots,
respectively, for the
Northmen for most of the
season, while senior Danny
Clancy, junior Quentin Fettig
and freshman Jacob Kromm
round out the lineup.
Also in the 15-team field
are Big Rapids, Cadillac,
Cedar Springs, Cheboygan,
Fremont, Gaylord, Grant,
Howard City Tri County,
Ludington, Muskegon
Orchard View, Remus
Chippewa Hills, Sparta, West
Branch Ogemaw Heights
and Whitehall. Cedar Springs
would appear to be the team
to beat in both races. The
Redhawk boys are ranked
fourth in the state coaches
poll, while the girls are
ranked sixth.

CHEBOYGAN - Athletics is
all a part of the educational
process. Coach Kris Jewell's
Cheboygan High School vol-
leyball team is a case in
point: The 2012 season has
been a learning process.
The Chiefs entered the
final week of the regular sea-
son with a 23-25-2 record, a
record that may be mislead-
ing as they have gotten pro-
gressively better as the
weather has gone from hot
and muggy to cool and crisp.
"It's been much better
than I think our record might
look," said Jewell, who said
her team performed well last
weekend in the Carrie
Bricker-Hauger Memorial
Invitational at Boyne City. "I
was very pleased with our
performance (at Boyne).
"I have three freshmen and
three sophomores. We're def-
initely young. It took awhile
to get in a groove, or to get
our confidence, really. We've
had some pretty impressive
matches lately." The Chiefs
will get a good feel for how
they stack up before they
begin Class B district play
next week at Roscommon.
They are scheduled to play
at Pellston, which is ranked
sixth in the Class D state
coaches poll, in a non-league
match on Thursday, Oct. 25,
and will partake in the Straits
Area Conference tournament
on Saturday, Oct. 27, in Sault
Ste. Marie.
The Chiefs open the dis-
trict against the host Bucks
on Monday, Oct. 29. The win-
ner takes on Houghton Lake
in a semifinal on Wednesday,
Oct. 31. The final is set for
Thursday, Nov. 1. Grayling,
Kalkaska and West Branch
Ogemaw Heights comprise
the other half of the bracket
in the six-team tournament.
Cheboygan has not faced
Roscommon or Houghton
Lake this season.
"I think it's a pretty fair
matchup (with
Roscommon)," Jewell said.
"We both two years ago grad-
uated a big crop of seniors.
We were pretty evenly
matched last year. We both
had young teams with fresh-
man setters."
The freshman-turned-
sophomore who quarter-
backs the Chiefs is Kaitlin
Dobrowolski, one of several
underclassmen who fill key
roles for Jewell. Freshmen
Brooke Beaubien and Katie
Swiderek are among
Cheboygan's top contribu-
tors, while senior outside hit-
ter Abby Ackerman and sen-
ior middle hitter Ashley
Dobrowolski are two of the
veteran standouts.
The match with Pellston
along with the league tourna-
ment, Jewell said, will not
only serve the Chiefs well in
terms of getting ready for the
intensity of the district, but
will also be a good measuring
stick of her team's season-
long progress.
"I'm really glad we have
this conference tournament
Saturday," said Jewell, whose
team is 2-3 in league play.
Especially with the three
(league) losses. It'll show us
how we've improved."
Volleyball Team Getting
Stronger as Districts Approach
Cross Country
By Andy Sneddon
The Chiefs' best hope as
they head into the Division II
regional on Saturday at
Benzie Central lies with
sophomore Mandy Paull.
Paull finished sixth in the
regional and was 28th --
earning All-State honors -- in
the state meet last fall, and
she has consistently been a
front-runner throughout the
2012 season.
She recently finished sec-
ond in the Straits Area
Conference behind St. Ignace
senior Sarah Cullip, who on
Saturday won her third con-
secutive Upper Peninsula
Division III championship.
She's always been in the top
five in all the other meets
we've been at," Cheboygan
coach Chris Ackerman said
of Paull. "She's very steady
and runs very well. I know for
her it'll be a disappointment
if she doesn't qualify (for
state). She's peaking right
now and she's ready for it."
The top three teams
advance to the state finals,
which are scheduled for
Saturday, Nov. 3, at Michigan
International Speedway in
Jackson. Any runner finish-
ing in the top 15 at the
regional advances to state,
regardless of whether his or
her team finishes in the top
three.
Seniors Cala James and
Katelyn McNeal join Paull in
the Chief lineup, as does cap-
tain Maria Grantner, also a
senior, along with junior
Allissa Gahn and sopho-
mores Logan McNeal and
Carolin Clark. Junior Max
Pletcher leads the Chief boys,
while junior Christian
Rosenberg and Brazilian for-
eign-exchange student Caio
round out the lineup.
"We're hoping for their
personal bests," Ackerman
said. "The times are getting
faster and faster to qualify for
states. I think they can get
their personal bests and I'm
hoping Max can be in the 17s
(minutes)."
Also in the 15-team field
are Big Rapids, Cadillac,
Cedar Springs, Fremont,
Gaylord, Grant, Howard City
Tri County, Ludington,
Muskegon Orchard View,
Petoskey, Remus Chippewa
Hills, Sparta, West Branch
Ogemaw Heights and
Whitehall. Cedar Springs
would appear to be the team
to beat in both races. The
Redhawk boys are ranked
fourth in the state coaches
poll, while the girls are
ranked sixth.

THURSDAY: Jeremiah 6:18-19 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 8 Therefore hear, O nations, And know, O con-
gregation, what is among them. 19 Hear, O earth: behold, I am bringing disaster on this people, The fruit of
their plans, Because they have not listened to My words, And as for My law, they have rejected it also
FRIDAY: Ezekiel 7:25-27 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 25 When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there
will be none. 26 Disaster will come upon disaster and rumor will be added to rumor; then they will seek a vision
from a prophet, but the law will be lost from the priest and counsel from the elders. 27 The king will mourn, the
prince will be clothed with horror, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. According to their con-
duct I will deal with them, and by their judgments I will judge them. And they will know that I am the Lord.
SATURDAY: Zephaniah 3:14-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 14 Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion! Shout in tri-
umph, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! 15 The Lord has taken away
His judgments against you, He has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst;
You will fear disaster no more. 16 In that day it will be said to Jerusalem: Do not be afraid, O Zion; Do not let
your hands fall limp. 17 The Lord your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior. He will exult over you with
joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
SUNDAY: Daniel 2:1-5 New American Standard Bible (NASB) Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar,
Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him. 2 Then the king gave orders to
call in the magicians, the conjurers, the sorcerers and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came in
and stood before the king. 3 The king said to them, I had a dream and my spirit is anxious to understand the
dream. 4 Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic: O king, live forever! Tell the dream to your ser-
vants, and we will declare the interpretation. 5 The king replied to the Chaldeans, The command from me is
firm: if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be torn limb from limb and your
houses will be made a rubbish heap.
MONDAY: Proverbs 10:8-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 8 The wise of heart will receive commands, But a bab-
bling fool will be ruined. 9 He who walks in integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will be found
out.
TUESDAY: 2 Samuel 22:18-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, From
those who hated me, for they were too strong for me. 19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But the
Lord was my support. 20 He also brought me forth into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in
me.
WEDNESDAY: Deuteronomy 30:15-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 15 See, I have set before you today life and
prosperity, and death and adversity; 16 in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His
ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and
that the Lord your God may bless you in the land where you are
entering to possess it. 17 But if your heart turns away and you
will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and
serve them, 18 I declare to you today that you shall surely per-
ish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are
crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it. 19 I call heaven and
earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life
and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order
that you may live, you and your descendants, 20 by loving the
Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to
Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you
may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.

I used to hunt out of a deer blind, but one year I decided to change things up
and sit right on a known deer path. My thought was the deer would come right
at me and I would not miss. I picked a big tree to lean against and I used a
skunk scent product to cover my scent. Hmm, if one drop worksIll just use
five or six. I placed the skunk scent in a five-foot radius. What a mistake!
Within seconds the scent went to work on me. My eyes burned and my nose
was inflamed I thought I was going to barf. What had I done? I quickly
learned a little goes a long way. I should have paid closer attention to the
instructions.
How often do we find ourselves in similar situations in life? We learn the hard
way that a little goes a long way. We drink too much and get into a fight. We lose
our temper and it costs us our job. We neglect our spouse and it costs us our
marriage. I am amazed as I read Gods instruction book, the Bible, how often I
come across little nuggets of truth that help me to avoid taking things too far. As
a result, my life is less stressful and my family and I are truly blessed. Hebrews
4:12 reads, For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the
sharpest two-edged sword (NLT). When you find yourself wondering how
you got where you are, think about reading the instruction manual the Bible.
By the way, while my eyes were still watering from the burn, I looked up the
trail and saw a deer coming right at me. She stopped less than three feet away
and just stared. I could have hit her in the head with my gun butt. I sat motion-
less; barely breathing, when after about a minute of this stare-down she saw a
faint wisp of fog come out of my nostrils and she bolted. Amazing. The skunk
scent really worked, a little too well at that!

should you send any money in

Ford continues to strengthen the F-Series lineup for 2013, raising the bar for
Super Duty towing, hauling and braking to again set the standard among
heavy duty trucks. Ford engineers have raised conventional towing capacity to
a class-leading 18,500 lbs., besting the nearest competitor by 500 lbs.
Ford continues to strengthen the F-
Series lineup for 2013, raising the bar for
Super Duty towing, hauling and braking
to again set the standard among heavy-
duty trucks.
Super Duty pickups and chassis cabs
are the segment benchmarks, chosen by
tradesmen more than any other heavy-
duty truck to get the job done, said Raj
Nair, Ford group vice president, Global
Product Development. To help our cus-
tomers continue to become more pro-
ductive and efficient, weve increased
our towing and payload capability yet
again.
F-Series Super Duty trucks are engi-
neered to meet the demands of the
toughest customers. With their needs in
mind, Ford engineers have raised con-
ventional towing capacity to a class-
leading 18,500 pounds, besting the near-
est competitor by 500 pounds. Increased
towing brawn goes hand-in-hand with
improved payload capability to a class-
leading 7,260 pounds.
F-Series Super Dutys best-in-class
payload numbers are supported by an
improved brake system that delivers
increased capability and usability.
Braking engineers increased brake rotor
swept area by 16.4 percent in front and
14.5 percent in the rear for maximum
braking to help dissipate heat, especially
on long downhill grades.
These changes support a 700-pound
increase in the maximum Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating to a best-in-class 14,000
pounds. Improved brake pads and a
retuned booster enable enhanced pedal
brake feel to increase driver confidence.
Weve really improved brake feel,
said Michael Watkins, brake system engi-
neer. Theres refined modulation in the
pedal you really feel the stopping
power. With a full load of cargo, drivers
will notice strong, confidence-inspiring
brakes.
A larger parking brake for F-250 and F-
350 models also allowed an increase in
maximum payload rating. Available
adjustable pedals also enhance customer
comfort by personalizing the interface
between driver and brake system.
The Platinum series makes a bold
statement with a grille that features a
satin chrome surround highlighted by
perforated mesh inside, plus other spe-
cial exterior upgrades. The interior show-
cases luxury in the form of premium
wood grain appliqus, a heated and
leather-wrapped steering wheel, and
other high-end luxury touches.
The 2013 F-Series Super Duty builds
on the foundation of SYNC with MyFord
Touch, which is available for the first
time. A new 8-inch, high-resolution
touch screen display gives drivers easy
access to phone, climate control, enter-
tainment and navigation features, along
with a dramatically expanded voice con-
trol vocabulary. The 8-inch display
screen also provides a large, clear view
behind the truck when in reverse to help
drivers maneuver in tight spaces or line
up conventional trailers with the trucks
hitch.
Unique to Ford F-Series, the physical
interface for MyFord Touch has been
optimized to accommodate truck users
who may be wearing work gloves by pro-
viding easy access to climate controls
and audio presets on the center stack.
Leadership is expected of F-Series,
which has been the best-selling truck in
the U.S. for 35 straight years.
Historically, best-in-class towing and
payload capability and legendary Built
Ford Tough durability have driven F-
Series customer loyalty. The 6.7-liter
Power Stroke diesel and 6.2-liter V8
gasoline engines with class-leading fuel
economy give Ford customers even
more reasons to stay loyal in the years
ahead.

Fortune
Compliments of Ed Wohlfiel
You don't have to decorate a home with
expensive decorating items, rather deco-
rate with little creative things that reflect
your personality and taste. Decorating a
home is all about being creative. So put
your creative hat on and let your creative-
ness fly, you will love it! These little ideas
can certainly ignite the passion in your
heart and help kick-start your creative side.
Paint Brighter - A little brightness is
always needed, when you want to decorate
your home! Dont adopt the neutral one
paint approach; rather paint little things to
the brightest hues to bring that touch of
life. So pick up your paint spray and do it
with love.
Family Photos also do the magic -
Instead of buying expensive wall hangings,
print some cool family photos and get
them ready in simple wooden frames. You
can hang them all around the corridor for a
royal look.
Say it with Nature - Nature is the best
thing, when it comes decorating your
home frugally. So bring in some shade lov-
ing plants and nurture them in beautiful
self-painted cases. You can also use peb-
bles, rocks and shells around them to cre-
ate a beautiful look indoors.
Mirrors on the Wall - So what if your
home is a little small, you can create a wide
spacious effect by using mirrors. Yes, mir-
rors are great to make your home look spa-
cious. So use mirrors all around your
home.
Sweet Little Things - Vases look charm-
ing, with or without flowers, and the best
vases that you can place are your antique
perfume bottles! Why go to market to
spend dollars on vases. Just grab those
empty perfume bottles, youve been hiding
in drawers for years and use them.
Pretty Fabrics & Frills - Frills are the best
thing to give your home a soft and roman-
tic effect. So use lots of soft pillows with
frills. Buy bed sheets in soft colors and frills
to create an effeminate look.
Creative Handmade crafts - Believe me,
there is nothing more powerfully appealing
then handmade crafts. If you have that
artist eye, you can create creative hand
crafts, if not, use the internet and books to
spice you up with ideas. You can use cute
little button on cushions. Grab large pieces
of checkered or polka dot clothes to create
cute handcrafted items.
Sparkle it up with Candles - Candles are
the best thing to decorate your home. You
can reserve a special shelf for candles and
fill it up with different colored candles for a
tranquil soothing environment.
Be yourself - Well, decorating a home is
all about you and how you do it! Just dont
copy others ideas, instead get inspiration
and also add sparks of your own personal
taste to decorate your home frugally.
