St. Mary pushes paststate-ranked Posen inregional finals, face ruggedForest Park in quarterfinals
By Mike Dunn
PELLSTON The St. Marygirls of coach Kevin Fosterhave advanced at least onestep further than last yearand maybe more. TheSnowbirds captured theirfirst Class D regional cham-pionship since 2002 onThursday night at Pellston,outscoring highly regardedPosen 64-50 in the title clash.
The determinedSnowbirds, who seem to beat the top of their game,improved to 23-1 andadvanced to the quarterfinalson Tuesday, March 13, atSault Ste. Marie againstCrystal Falls Forest Park.Posen ended its season withan excellent 20-3 record.
A year ago, St. Mary alsovied for the regional title butnarrowly lost to Brimley. This
year, the Snowbirds have putthemselves in position tocompete in the quarterfinalsand vie for a berth in the
Final Four at The BreslinCenter in East Lansing.
St. Mary played to itsstrength in outscoring thestate-ranked Vikings. Thebackcourt tandem of KariBorowiak and Chrissy Smithdid not let the Posen pressureaffect them, handling the ball
with cool efficiency and mak-
ing surgically precise passes.The Snowbirds turned theball over just six times, anamazing total in a gameagainst an aggressive, talent-ed opponent.
Posen, behind the twinetossing of talented sopho-more center Korynn Hincka,took the early lead but St.Mary soon was surgingahead to stay. By halftime,the Snowbirds led 33-20,thanks in part to a pair ofkiller treys from unflappablesenior wing Karli Jacob, whoopted to make the net dancefrom downtown when Posendesigned its defense to pre-vent her from penetratingthrough the paint.
Borowiak, a sophomorewho plays with the savvy of asenior, found room to makesome penetrating moves ofher own with all the attentionthe Viking defense was put-ting on Jacob, and Kari rat-tled the iron for a team-high18 points.
Borowiak led a balancedscoring ledger. Karli, whorecently became the eighthSnowbird female player tosurpass 1,000 points in herhardwood career, made thetwine twitch to the tune of 15points. Mary Spyhalski cameoff the bench to deliver 12points and play leech-like
defense inside against thedangerous Hincka. Smithsecured 12 points as well to
complement her ball han-dling, ball movement anddefensive pressure. JadaBebble continued her strongplay in the post-season also,scoring seven.
Hincka hammered the netsfor a game-high 20 points topace Posen and AshleyMeyers made 15.
St. Marys quarterfinal con-test with Forest Park wasplayed after this issue went to
press. The last time theSnowbirds were in the quar-terfinals, they defeated
Mount Pleasant Sacred Heart39-30. The girls, coach thenby the legendary Jim Kerfoot,
went on to beat Battle CreekSt. Philip 47-39 in the semifi-nals before losing to PortlandSt. Patrick 57-44.
Forest Park went into thequarterfinal game with a 20-5record. In the regional finals,the Trojans defeated 2011state finalist Bark River-Harris 50-47.
The St. Mary girls captured their first regional championship trophy since the 2002 season.

Rogers City led 9-4 afterone quarter, 25-17 at half-time and 42-32 after three
quarters against theSnowbirds. Both teams weredoing well enough defensive-ly through three quarters tokeep the other teams offenseout of sync. The Hurons wentto a full-court press in thefourth quarter, though, andthat, combined with St.Marys foul trouble, proved to
be the catalyst for maintain-ing a double-digit lead on thescoreboard with the game
clock winding down. Austin Brege busted the
nets for 23 points to pace theHurons and Devin Hilla hitfor 17.
Hardworking Luke Wisniewski waxed the twinefor 12 points to lead a bal-anced St. Mary scoringattack, with fellow seniorGabe Nowicki garnering 11points and Pat Switalski hit-ting for 10. Mike Stutesmanstruck for four points.
ON WEDNESDAY, St. Maryearned its berth in the dis-trict finals with a 57-34 victo-ry over game Wolverine in thesemifinals.
The Snowbirds were sim-ply suffocating on defenseagainst Wolverine, forcing 39turnovers, many of which ledto transition buckets.
Wolverine battled fiercelyto stay close in the earlygoing, even taking a 17-16lead in the second quarterbefore the deeper, more tal-
ented Snowbirds began topull away. St. Mary took a 42-30 lead into the fourth quar-
ter.Wisniewski rattled the iron
for 12 points and pulleddown seven boards to pacethe Snowbirds. Jake Blanzyand Gabe Nowicki each con-tributed nine points. CharlesStrehl struck for eight pointsand was active inside, grab-bing eight rebounds.
Matt Spyhalski made sevenpoints and he and Strehleach dished off four assists.
Blust also noted the defen-sive spark ignited by NickLochinski and the ever-hus-
tling Blanzy.Tyler McCauley tallied 15
to pace the Wildcats and fel-
low senior Seth Purgiel pro-duced 10 points.
ON MONDAY, theSnowbirds kept their season
with a dramatic 79-77 over-time victory over talentedBurt Lake Northern MichiganChristian Academy.
Switalski sank a pair ofclutch free throws to forcethe overtime. In the extra ses-sion, it was Wisniewski nail-ing a critical jumper andStutesman and Spyhalskidelivering at the charitystripe.
Spyhalski led the way with
14 points and served up
sweet deliveries to his team-
mates like a pastry chef,notching six assists. Nowicki
nailed 14 points and had a
strong all-around game,
recording eight rebounds
and nine assists. Switalski hit
for a dozen points with six
boards and five assists and

Petoskey falls in regional opener
By Mike Dunn
TRAVERSE CITY The
Petoskey boys of coach
Dennis Starkey took it to the
wire Monday at Traverse City
Central in the Class A region-
al semifinal clash with Grand
Haven. The Bucs (14-10)
closed out strong, however,to claim a 57-51 victory and
advance to the regional
championship game.
Petoskey concludes its
notable 2011-12 season with
an outstanding 22-2 record.
The Northmen brought
another Big North champi-
onship trophy and another
district title trophy for the
school display case.
Petoskey led 33-27 at half-
time but Grand Haven bat-
tled back to outscore the
Northmen 15-5 in the critical
third quarter and take a 42-
38 lead heading into the finalperiod.
The Northmen scrapped
and battled their way back
into it, climbing to within a
point, 46-45, when Sam
Baumgartner drained a pair
of free throws with 3:14
remaining, and then tying
the game at 46 with 2:43 left
when senior forward Joe
Robbins hit a free throw.
The Bucs outscored
Petoskey 11-5 after that to
secure the hard-fought victo-ry.
Robbins and Baumgartner
each struck for 15 points to
pace the Northmen on the
final night of the season.
Senior Zak Lewis launched
11 points, including eight in
the first quarter as Petoskey
assumed an early lead.
Starkey was disappointed
with the outcome but not the
play of his team.
I thought our guys played
well, Starkey told Record-
Eagle sports editor Denny
Chase after the game. Grand
Haven is a good team. I
thought our guys left it on thefloor.
Starkey added that he was
proud of his players.
They played like a team
all season, the veteran coach
said.
Alex Eidson scored 15 to
lead the Bucs, who was slated
to play the winner of
Wednesdays Rockford-
Hudson game for the region-
al title.
ON FRIDAY, Petoskey cap-
tured its third straight district
title and the seventh in nine
years in convincing fashion,
outscoring visiting Alpena
70-31 in a game that was
close until the tip-off.
Petoskey, flexing its collec-
tive muscles, powered to a
commanding 20-2 first-quar-
ter lead and cruised after
that. The Northmen
improved to 23-1 this season.
The Wildcats, who had lost
twice to Petoskey during the
regular season, ended their
season 13-10.
Sweet-shooting senior
guard Jake Mullin jammed
the nets with a game-high 21
points to pace Petoskey.
Senior forward Joe Robbins
rattled the rim for 11 andsophomore Peter Kelbel
added to the long-range
artillery strikes, making the
net dance three times from
downtown as he scored 10.
Erik Davenport and Sam
Baumgartner blistered the
nets for eight points each and
Zak Lewis launched six
points. Baumgartner also set
the table like a chef, notching
six assists.
Kam Fitzek and Luke
Cordes scored eight points
apiece to lead Alpena.

CADILLAC When the
road finally ended for the
Petoskey girls of coach Adam
Dobrowolski in the Class A
regional semifinals at
Cadillac on Tuesday, March
6, it was the No. 1 ranked
team in the state that provid-
ed the detour.
Petoskey lost 52-23 to the
powerful Grand Haven
Buccaneers. The Bucs (24-1)
went on to beat Grand
Rapids Northview 56-37 in
the regional finals, advancing
to the quarterfinals against
East Lansing. The Northmen
finished a remarkable season
with a 14-10 log, winning 13
of their last 15 games while
securing a district champi-
onship in Dobrowolskis first
year at the helm of the pro-
gram.
Grand Haven broke things
wide open in the third quar-
ter, outscoring Petoskey 18-4
to take a 42-17 advantage
into the fourth quarter.
Petoskey junior center
Megan Tompkins topped the
scoring charts with eight
points and senior forward
Katelyn Crittenden, playing
in the final game of her prep
career, generated six points.
Fellow senior Olivia Pizii pro-
duced eight rebounds.
Junior forward Kelsey
Ance, Petoskeys most reli-
able scorer all years, was
forced to fight for every look
at the basket. She was limited
to five points.
It was the final game for
hardworking seniors Liz
Slater, Brett Taylor,
Crittenden and Pizii.

Vikings fall in regional opener
ASSOCIATED PRESS CLASS D ALL-STATE GIRLS BASKETBALL
By Mike Dunn
SAULT STE. MARIE The
Grayling boys of coach RichMoffit advanced to the Class
B regional tournament for
the second year in a row, and
for the second year in a row
the Vikings were eliminated
from the playoffs by the high-
powered Vikings of Cadillac.
Grayling advanced to the
region with a 71-40 triumph
over Houghton Lake on
Friday, March 9, in the dis-
trict title game. The Vikings
faced Cadillac on Monday,
March 12, in the regional
opener at Sault Ste. Marie
and dropped a 75-45 deci-
sion.
Cadillac, which had beaten
Grayling last year in the
regional title game, improved
to 21-3 and moved on to face
host Sault Ste. Marie for the
regional championship on
Wednesday, March 14.
Grayling ended another
excellent season under
Moffits tutelage with an 18-5
mark, a runner-up finish in
the rugged Lake Michigan
Conference and a second-
straight district champi-
onship.
Cadillac forged to an early
24-5 lead and Grayling was
never able to make up thelost ground.
Nick Paquet paced the
winning Vikings with 22
points and John Simons
struck for 17.
ON FRIDAY, Grayling
defeated Houghton Lake 71-
40 to repeat as district cham-
pion and earn the berth in
the regional tournament.
The Vikings exhibited bal-
anced scoring in the contest.
Tobin and Burrell busted the
nets for 14 points apiece.
Riley Zigila rattled the iron
for 12 points and Steven Enos
hit for 11. Double D, Devon
Dawson, delivered six points
and cerebral senior center
Griffin Dean scored five.
Grayling recorded a whop-
ping 30 steals in the win over
the Bobcats. All Tobin was
missing was an eye patch to
make his pirate persona
complete. He covered the
floor like wall-to-wall carpet-ing, acquiring seven steals.
He wasnt alone. Jake
Swander, Tyler McClanahan,
Scott Parkinson, Dawson,
Zigila and Burrell were beast-
ly on defense as well, each
recording three steals.
I was extremely pleased
with our defensive intensity
throughout the game, coach
Rich Moffit said. Our kids
played with a lot of energy
and were pretty aggressive at
the defensive end of the
court. Our defensive pressure
wore down Houghton Lake
early in this game.
Moffit was also pleased
with the ball handling and
ball distribution displayed at
the other end of the court
and particularly the sharp
play of sophomores Swander
and McClanahan.
Offensively, we did an
outstanding job running ourtransition break, he said.
Tyler McClanahan and Jake
Swander did an outstanding
job of hitting our guys in the
open court and running our
break. We shared the ball,
which was reflected by the
fact that we had four guys in
double figures.
Seniors Zane Tobin,
Steven Enos, Riley Zigila,
Tom Burrell, Griffin Dean
and Devon Dawson played
outstanding, he added.
Scott Parkinson played with
a ton of energy and was very
active defensively.
Moffit was also compli-
mentary of opposing coach
L.J. Mead.
Coach Mead has done an
outstanding job of building a
strong foundation for future
success at Houghton Lake,
Moffit said. The Bobcats will
be a force to be reckoned
with in the near future.

These revealing photos by Rob DeForge capture some of the drama and thrill of Cheboygans 4-1 hockey triumph over
Cadillac in the Div. 3 regional championship game at Gaylord on Saturday, March 3. The heavy lumber of John GravityGrantner accounted for two Chief goals in the huge victory. Zach Schley and Stan Swiderek each had a goal as well and
Nick Watson was a Wall between the pipes. Watson, pads and all, can be seen making a euphoric leap after the finalbuzzer. Captain Jake Elmore camps in front of the opposing goalie during the contest. Many thanks to Tom Eustice for the
insightful and colorful weekly write-ups he allowed us to use during the season.(photos by Rob DeForge of rdsportsphoto.com)

PASTORS PERSPECTIVE
PastorScott
DistlerGaylord EvangelicalFree Church
Daily WordTHURSDAY:Acts 1:3 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 3 To these He also presented Himself
alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty
days and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God.
FRIDAY: 2 Corinthians 5:17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
SATURDAY: Ephesians 4:22-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 22 that, in reference to your for-mer manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the
lusts of deceit, 23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and put on the new
self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
SUNDAY: Colossians 3:7-10 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 7 and in them you also once walked,
when you were living in them. 8 But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice,
slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside
the old self with its evil practices, 10 and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a
true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him
MONDAY: Hebrews 12:1-3 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 1 Therefore, since we have so great a
cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which
so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 fixing our
eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the
cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For
consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not
grow weary and lose heart.
TUESDAY: James 1:21-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 21 Therefore, putting aside all filthi-
ness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able
to save your souls. 22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who
delude themselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man
who looks at his natural face in a mirror; 24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away,
he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.
WEDNESDAY: Acts 2:36 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 36 Therefore let all the house of
Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christthis Jesus whom you
crucified.
In Act 1:8, followers of Jesus are commanded by the Lord to be His witnesses. In other
words, we are to talk to others about Jesus. But what gives us the credibility to do so? To
answer that question, simply look at who Jesus was talking to when He originally gave this
command. He was talking to His disciples and a few other followers right before He ascend-
ed back into heaven. What gave them the credibility to do what Jesus said?
It wasnt their perfection! Not one of them was perfect. Even the most prominent of
Jesus followers, Peter, had denied His Lord three times just a few weeks earlier. Living per-
fect lives does not give us credibility to talk to people about Jesus.
It wasnt their education! They were untrained and ignorant when it came to religion.
Many of them were simple fishermen. One of them was even a former tax collector. There
wasnt a theology degree in the bunch. Education does not give us credibility to talk to peo-
ple about Jesus.
It wasnt their popularity! Jesus was popular up to a pointbut then the people turned
on Him and cried out for His crucifixion. These followers of Jesus were not widely known.
People werent clamoring to become their friend. Our popularity does not give us credibil-ity to talk to people about Jesus!
If it wasnt their perfection, their education or their popularity that gave them the credi-
bility, then what did? It was the simple fact that their lives had been changed because they
had spent time with Jesus. Thats where the credibility comes from. These men and women
had gotten to know Jesus and believed the truth of who He was the Messiah. As a result,
they were not the same. They werent perfect. They didnt know it all. They didnt have a
big following, but no one could refute the fact that their lives had been changed after being
with Jesus.
You may not be perfect (none of us are!). You may not have a theology degree. The world
may not have a clue who you even are. But if your life has been changed because of your
faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, you have all the credibility you need to talk about
Jesus to others!
Having the Bible and other people's testimonies about
how their lives have been changed for the better
through Jesus.
Seth Manthei, Bayshore
His word and His love.
Lucas and Steve Matthews, Alanson
You're never down. Others try to fill the gap with
alchol and drugs. When they look at you and you
have Jesus they see the joy inside of you.
Chris Hass, Conway

Benefits oflisting yourhome witha Realtor
Compliments of
Ed Wohlfiel
Realtors know the market
and can help you get the best
price for your home.
Realtors have a vested
interest in selling your home
for the highest amount pos-
sible.
Realtors have far greater
resources for locating buyersand bringing them into your
home, such as the Multiple
Listing Service (MLS) which
lists recent sale prices of
homes similar to yours in
your neighborhood - this is
the key to determining your
home's worth.
Realtors advertise your
home in the MLS, Realtor
magazines, classified ads, on
Realtor.com, and will hold
open houses.
Realtors make sure in
advance that prospective
buyers are financially able to
buy your home.
Realtors aren't emotion-
ally invested in your home
so we will keep cool level
heads during the negotia-
tion process.
Realtors save you valu-
able time, working many
hours behind the scene
when we are not in your
presence.
Did you know?
When buyers consider a
home for sale by owner
(FSBO), they discount any
offer made in recognition
that there is no commission.
Put yourself in the buyers'
shoes. The dollar savings
that you initially anticipated
is considerably less thanexpected.
Advertising costs of sell-
ing your own home can
amount quickly and con-
sume any savings you might
expect from trying to sell
your own home.
Studies by the National
Association of Realtors have
consistently demonstrated
that FSBOs average a lower
sales price than profession-
als. For example, the 2005
Profile of Home Buyers and
Sellers indicated that FSBO
sales sold for more than 13%
less than comparable homes
sold by a real estate agent.
FSBOs take longer to
close and don't sell for asmuch per square foot as
similar homes sold through
an agent.
Since FSBO properties do
not sell as quickly as a home
listed with an agent, carrying
costs (i.e. mortgage, taxes,
insurance, utilities, and
repairs) will inevitably eat
into any profits derived from
the sale of the property.
You are much more likely
to get multiple offers when
your home is professionally
marketed.
