    SPORTSBlue Devils have solid showing after longlayoff; Fischer shines in throwing events

    By Mike Dunn

    REMUS The Gaylord boysand girls track teams com-

    peted in the annual WarriorInvitational Meet atChippewa Hills High Schoolin Remus on Saturday. TheBlue Devil girls captured fifthplace with 116.5 points in the

    large, prestigious meet and

    the boys claimed 11th placewith 53.5 points but were just19 points from ninth place.

    It was the first live action

    for Gaylord after more thanthree weeks and the BlueDevils were a bit rusty.

    On the girls side, coachJeff Kalember was pleased

    with the fifth- place finish

    considering the field featuredDiv. 3 powerhouse BenzieCentral, perennial power-house Chip Hills and Div. 1power Traverse City West.

    Allison Fischer had a BIG

    day for the Blue Devils in thefield events, taking top hon-ors in the discus with her dis-

    tance of 102 feet, and secondin the shot put with herHerculean heave of 33 feet, 6

    inches. Fischers toss in theshot put was good for eighthplace all-time for Gaylord.

    Allison was often in theshadow of Blair Secord and

    Emma Balliet last season butshe has really come into herown this year, Kalembersaid. She's smart, hard

    working and a student of thethrows. She listens to the

    technique advice of CoachCavanaugh and really puts itto work.

    Senior Megan Carlson wasthe second high point scorer

    for Gaylord with 13.5 points,placing third in the high hur-dles (18.41) and fourth in thelow hurdles (51.61). Meganalso ran solid legs in the 800and 1600 relays which bothcame in third.

    Megan has the strengthand endurance to compete in

    four tough running events,Kalember said. We will finetune her sprint speed overthe next month and I am

    confident she'll be a threat towin our regional in the hur-dle events.

    Katelynn Dreyer andAlanna Johnston also hadstellar days with 11.5 points.

    Katelynn motored to first in

    the 400 dash (1:03.9) andAlanna continued her strongearly-season performance,

    winning the high jump (5-0).

    Katelynn and Alanna also ranlegs in the 800 and 1600relays.

    These gals are both toughas nails and step up with bigperformances in big meets,

    Kalember said.Freshman speed-burner

    Grace Sanders completed inher first 100 dash as a

    Gaylord sprinter and camethrough big time, shatteringthe jitters with a strong third-place finish (13.86) against 45

    other sprinters.Grace is only going to get

    better and better in thesprints as the season goeson, Kalember said. She alsoplayed a role in the 800 relay

    and earned a medal in the

    long jump (13-10.75).Senior Caila Coale came in

    right behind Grace in thelong jump, claiming sixth

    place with a distance of 13feet, 7.5 inches.

    Brandi Tallent took fourthin the pole vault (7-6). GeenaDuff, Maria Warren, Nicole

    Wehner and Erin Borgeson

    joined forces to earn a medalwith their fifth-place finish inthe 3200 relay (10:47.76).Sophomore Mai Dao

    motored to seventh placeand a medal for the BlueDevils in the 400 meters(1:08.7).

    IN THE boys meet, juniorspeedster Trae Hill turned onthe afterburners and cruisedto third place in the 100 dashin 12.02 seconds and juniorNate Fischer flew to a fifth-

    place finish in the 800 meters

    (2:03.3).Fischer teamed with

    Charlend Howard, JakePasternak and Jake Henley to

    capture fifth in the 3200 relay(8:47.03).

    Freshman Steven Fitzekalso earned a medal for theBlue Devils, striding to eighthin the 110 hurdles (17.71) and

    senior Gordon Hoyem cap-tured seventh in 300 hurdles(42.52).

    Congratulations are in order for the Mancelona High School boys varsity basketball team of

    coach Rick Duerksen. The Ironmen were recently honored with Class C Academic All-State

    Honors. The boys performed admirably on the court this season but even better in the classroom

    as the team had a whopping overall GPA of 3.75. This overall GPA was not only first in Class C,

    but also first in all classes in the entire state!

    FIFE LAKE TheJohannesburg-L ewistonbaseball team earned a

    wind-sw ept doublehe adersweep of Ski Valley foe Forest

    Area on the road Monday.The Cardinals 15-3 and 14-3victories pushed their recordin the Ski Valley to 4-0 andtheir overall mark to 7-1.

    It was brutal in the windbut we hit the ball prettygood, said longtime J-Lcoach Rick Guild.

    The Cardinals pounded

    Warrior pitchin g in bothcontests.

    In game one, J-L racked up17 hits with Brian VanCoillie(3-for-3), slugging seniorfirst baseman Blake Huff (3-for-5), senior catcherGunnar Owens (3-for-5),Brett Kortman (2-for-3), AlexPayne (2-for-5) and ColeNagy (2-for-3) all gettingmultiple hits. VanCoillie andOwens each chased homethree runs while Huff and

    Payne each knocked in twoand Kortman and Nagy eachhad one RBI. Pinch hitterGarrett Koronka cracked anRBI single in the fourthinning as well in his onlyplate appearance of theopener.

    Jake Newell earned theW with a solid showing,going five innings and allow-ing three hits and oneearned run. Newell alsonotched four Ks. VanCoillie,the lethal lefty, pitched ascoreless sixth inning to

    close out the victory.In game two, Owens took

    to the hill and he pitchedeffectively, too, painting thecorners with his 86 mphfastball and keeping the

    Warrior hitters off-str ide.Gunnar pulled the trigger forfive Ks with one walk. Hepermitted three hits and twoearned runs.

    VanCoillie closed things

    out again, striking out allthree batters he faced.Payne pummeled the ball

    in the nightcap, going 3-for-3 with a single, double and

    triple. He knocked in fourruns. VanCoillie collectedtwo more hits with an RBIand Blake Huff hammered along two-run double intothe teeth of the wind.

    Weve done OK so far butwe have some tough teamscoming up, Guild said. Wehave Inland Lakes onThursday (April 26) and theyhave good pitching and agood catcher.

    ON THURSDAY, April 19,

    the Cardinals were home fora doubleheader sweep ofBellaire, winning by scoresof 2-1 and 8-0.

    Owens had anotherWow showing on the hill,using his overpowering fast-ball to record seven Ks. Theonly Eagle run off Gunnar

    was unearned.Gunnar also provided the

    artillery at the plate, going 2-for-2 and knocking in

    VanCoillie with theCardinals first run.

    VanCoillie walked to lead off

    the inning, then stole sec-

    ond before coming home on

    Owens sweet stroke for a

    clutch single.

    Opportunistic sophomore

    Coalton Huff scored the

    game-winning run in the

    bottom of the fifth with the

    game tied at 1. After getting a

    hit, Huff moved to second on

    a sacrifice bunt, advanced to

    third on a fielders choice

    and eventual came home on

    a passed ball.

    The Underwood kid

    pitched pretty well for

    them, Guild said. Hes a

    fairly young kid but he threw

    hard. Give them credit. They

    kept it close. We made the

    plays in the field behind

    Gunnar when we had to and

    that put us into position to

    win.

    In game two, VanCoillie

    was dominant on the hill,

    striking out seven and firing

    a two-hitter in the 8-0 tri-

    umph.

    VanCoillie cracked threehits in support of himself

    and knocked in two more

    runs. Payne was also a pain

    in the Eagles sides, going 1-

    for-2 with an RBI. Huff also

    stroked an RBI single. Owens

    and Kortman connected for

    hits, too.

    Guild noted the solid play

    of sophomore Coalton Huff

    at shortstop in the nightcap.

    He made a couple out-

    standing plays for us, Guild

    said.

    On Monday, April 30, the

    Cardinals are home against

    Onaway, one of the surprise

    teams in the league this year.Onaway has already earned

    splits with Mancelona and

    St. Mary, two of the top

    teams in the Ski Valley this

    season. On Thursday, May 3,

    the Cardinals are home

    ONAWAY -- The St. Mary

    baseball team earned a

    sweep of Ski Valley foe Forest

    Area on Thursday, April 19,

    and then split at the dia-

    mond of league rival Onaway

    on Monday, coming back to

    claim game two.

    St. Mary improved to 6-1

    overall and 3-1 in the league,

    the best start for the

    Snowbirds since 2002, the

    last time they won the Ski

    Valley title.

    St. Mary let some opportu-

    nities slip away in game one

    at Forest Area but stormed

    back to salvage the split, los-

    ing the first game 5-3 and

    winning 9-3 at Onaway. The

    30 mph winds also played a

    part in the outcomes of the

    game, especially game one.

    Onaway took advantage of

    an error, a walk and a wind-

    blown double to score two in

    the bottom of the first.

    The Snowbirds battled

    back to tie the score in the

    second when Pat OConnor

    scored on an error and NickLochinski scored on an RBI

    single off the educated bat of

    Pat Switalski.

    The Cardinals scored sin-

    gle runs in the third and

    fourth to take a 4-2 lead.

    Lochinski locked in on a

    fastball and laced a bases-

    loaded single in the top of the

    fifth to narrow the lead to 4-

    3, but the Snowbirds left the

    bases loaded.

    Trailing 5-3 after five, Nick

    Harrington hit a one-out

    double but was stranded

    when Gabe Nowicki and

    Aaron Myler were both

    retired on drives deep to left

    held up by the teeth of the

    wind. The Cardinal leftfielder

    made a circus catch on the

    drive off Mylers bat to end

    the game.

    St Mary stranded 10 bat-

    ters in game one. Nick

    Lochinski had two hits.

    In game two St Mary

    banged out nine hits and led

    all the way to a 9-3 win.

    Singles by Switalski and

    RBI singles by Gabe Nowicki

    and Myler produced two

    runs in the first.

    Leading 2-1 in the top of

    the third the Snowbirds

    scored four runs including

    run-scoring hits form Myler

    and Pat OConnor to lead 6-1.Gabe Nowicki and OConnor

    smacked RBI singles in the

    fourth and sixth innings to

    help push the lead to 9-2 in

    the sixth.

    Hard-throwing sophomore

    Brendon Nowicki struck out

    seven and scattered six hits

    to go 2-0 on the season.

    Gabe Nowicki, Myler and

    OConnor each had two hits

    in the nightcap.

    ON THURSDAY at Forest

    Area, St. Mary prevailed by

    scores of 3-2 and 7-4.

    The old adage an ugly win

    is better than a pretty loss

    might apply to game one

    against the Warriors

    Thursday.

    The nip-and-tuck game

    was a battle of aces, Matt

    Spyhalski of St Mary and

    Bobby Steile of the Warriors.

    Spyhalski was the star of the

    night not only pitching, but

    offensively.

    The seed-throwing Steile

    had six strikeouts through

    two innings, but in the top of

    the third Spyhalski singled

    (the only hit of game one for

    the Snowbirds), stole second

    and came home on a wild

    throw from the catcher trying

    to stop him from stealing

    third.

    Steile allowed only one hitbut he hit four batters and

    walked three.

    Spyhalski breezed through

    the first five innings on only

    34 pitches allowing only

    three baserunners, (a single

    in the third and a batter

    reached on errors in the sec-

    ond and fourth).

    The Snowbirds pushed

    across a couple more runs in

    the top of the fifth when

    Spyhalski was hit by a pitch,

    went to second on a wild

    pitch, stole third and scored

    on an error and in the sixth

    when Aaron Myler walked

    and came around to score

    after a stolen base, a ground

    out and a wild pitch, making

    the score 3-0.

    Forest Area made things

    interesting in the bottom of

    the sixth. After one out, two

    consecutive bobbles by the

    usually tight Snowbird infield

    put runners on first and sec-

    ond. (The rainy, cold weather

    most likely assisted.) After a

    double from Steile made the

    score 3-1 and put runners on

    second and third, Luke

    Brown made a fine running

    catch in deep right field for

    the second out but the run-

    ners tagged making the score

    3-2 with the tying run mov-

    ing up to third base.Spyhalski picked a good

    time for his second strikeout

    of the game, getting the next

    Warrior batter on strikes

    looking.

    Matt allowed three hits,

    walked none and he still has

    not allowed an earned run

    this season as he pushed his

    record to 2-0 for the season.

    In game two Gabe Nowicki

    scattered five hits, walked

    only one, struck out two and

    allowed only one earned run.

    The entire game was a little

    sloppy because the game was

    played in a steady, cold rain

    causing a slippery ball with

    every grounder.

    The Snowbirds scored first

    when Pat Switalski walked

    and went all the way to third

    on a run and sacrifice bunt

    by Spyhalski. Switalski scored

    on a groundout off the bat of

    Gabe Nowicki.

    Forest Area took a 2-1 lead

    in the bottom of the fourth

    on a walk, stolen base and

    two singles.

    St Mary finally had their

    bats wake up. In the top of

    fifth Jake Blanzy stroked a

    two-out single to center giv-

    ing Jake the only two hits of

    the game for St Mary.

    Blanzys second hit seemed

    to energize the Snowbirds asthe next four hitters followed

    with hard hits. Blanzy stole

    second and scored on a sin-

    gle by Switalski to tie the

    game at 2. Switalski stole sec-

    ond and scored on a single by

    Spyhalski to give the

    Snowbirds a 3-2 lead. After a

    single by Gabe Nowicki,

    Brendon Nowicki stroked a

    two-run single for a 5-2

    advantage.

    In the top of the sixth lead

    off hits by Nick Lochinski and

    Pat OConnor set the table for

    run-scoring singles from

    Switalski and Spyhalski to

    push the score to 7-2.

    St. Mary gave up a couple

    unearned runs in the bottom

    half of the inning, before

    Gabe Nowicki threw to sec-

    ond baseman Pat OConnor

    to pick off the runner at sec-

    ond and end the game.

    St Mary collected nine hits

    in game two, eight in the last

    two innings. Blanzy had

    Switalski has two hits.

    Switalski scored two runs,

    stole wo bases and had two

    RBIs.

    St. Mary has some big

    league games upcoming. The

    Snowbirds play at defending

    Ski Valley champ Mancelona

    on Thursday, April 26, and

    PETOSKEY The gameswere as different as chalk andcheese but the result was thesame. In game one of the

    non-league doubleheaderbetween host Petoskey andRogers City, it was JordonSmith of the Northmen toss-ing a two-hit masterpiece in

    a tense 1-0 victory. In gametwo, the Northmen made upfor their game-one futility atthe plate, pounding out hits

    and runs early and often in a14-4 victory.

    Smith was simply super inthe opener against the talent-ed Hurons, mixing his pitch-

    es with lethal efficiency whilemoving in and out and up

    and down the strike zone. He

    struck out nine without a sin-gle walk.

    Senior Joe Robbinsknocked in the lone Petoskeyrun with a timely two-out

    single in the bottom of thethird. Nate McGann ledthings off with a blisteringdouble and took third onDan Clancys fielders choice

    before crossing the plate onRobbins clutch hit.

    In game two, Petoskey ral-lied from an early 2-0 deficit

    to blow things wide open.Clancy cracked two more

    hits and chased home tworuns to help fuel the offen-sive uprising and Robbins,

    who is poison with runnerson base, rapped an RBI single

    and a two-run double.

    Hunter Stinger stroked an

    RBI double and McGann gar-

    nered another hit. Mitch

    Smielewski, Dillon Kelley,

    Nick Strobel, Cole Paul and

    Smith also had safeties for

    the Northmen.

    Paul hurled the final 2 2-3

    innings in relief of Robbins to

    earn the win in game two.

    Petoskey was host toAlpena in a Big North twinbill

    on Tuesday, April 24. On

    Thursday, April 26, the

    Northmen travel south to

    Cadillac for another league

    doubleheader and on

    Monday, April 30, Petoskey is

    home against Cheboygan.

    JOHANNESBURG Freshman fireball specialistBrandon Dingman wasuntouchable for theMancelona JV baseball atJohannesburg-Lewiston onTuesday, throwing a no-hit-ter in the 4-0 victory in gameone of a doubleheader.

    Game two was more of a

    high-scoring affair with theyoung Ironmen earning an11-8 win for the sweep.

    In the opener, no Joburgbatter was able to locateDingman's pitches duringthe game. The freshmanthrew a no-hitter, strikingout 11 batters and walkingone while recording hismomentous feat. He gotCushman to fly out for thefinal out of the game.

    Nick Balhorn went a per-fect 2-2 at the plate forMancelona JV. He doubledin the third inning and sin-gled in the fifth inning.

    The Mancelona JV didn't

    relinquish the lead afterscoring one run in the thirdinning on a clutch RBI dou-

    ble by Garrett Derrer. TheIronmen added three runsin the fifth. A wild pitchscored Balhorn \in theinning. That was followed upby an error that scored Jake

    Winstead.The bats were busy in

    game two as the Ironmenconnected for 20 hits,including four extra-basehits in the game.

    Dingman, after firing theno-hitter in the opener,delivered the goods with hisbat in the nightcap. He went3-for-4 and scored threeruns. He whaled a double inthe third inning and singledin the fourth and fifthinnings.

    Kody Pinney got the windespite allowing eight runsover five innings. TheMancelona JV hurler struckout 10, walked one and sur-rendered 11 hits.

    The game was never indoubt after the first, asMancelona scored threeruns on a two-run single by

    Griffin Borst and a wildpitch.

    The Ironmen brought

    home two runs in the third

    inning and matched that

    run total in the fifth. In the

    third, Borst scored Dingman

    with a soaring sacrifice fly.

    Joburg scored four runs in

    the bottom of the third to

    cut the deficit to one. An

    error, an RBI single by

    Cushman, and a two-run

    single by Schland triggered

    Joburgs comeback. TheJoburg threat came to an

    end when Pinney finally got

    Bandt to strike out.

    Mancelona increased its

    lead with four runs in the

    fourth. Borst's single got

    things going, plating

    Dingman. That was followed

    up by Jagger Agrusa's dou-

    ble, bringing home Cody

    Derrer and Borst.

    Four runs in the bottom of

    the fifth helped Joburg trim

    the deficit to 11-8. A two-run

    error, an RBI single by Moss,

    and an RBI double by

    Amborski gave Joburg life.But, Pinney got Nieman to

    fly out to end the game

    Tori Thompson waved afearsome stick in the twinbill,

    terrorizing the Huron pitch-ers in the two games. Toristorrid day included five hits

    with a double and six RBIs.She wasnt alone. Katie Kiddcracked five hits with a dou-ble and Kristen Espinozapounded two doubles and atriple as Petoskey improvedto 4-3.

    duced at the plate, generat-

    ing two hits in each game.

    hits and Ellen Loper laced a

    long RBI triple.

    and Pellston sophomore lefty

    Hunter Cameron battled on

    the hill, each doing a superb

    job.

    LaVigne, painting the cor-

    ners and mixing his pitches,

    fired a three-hitter against

    the potent Hornet lineup andCameron, using a lethal mix

    of fastballs and curves,

    notched 10 Ks and permitted

    just two hits.

    between two strong, well-

    coached squads could be a

    determining factor in which

    team ultimately prevails with

    the league crown in 2012.

    Gaylord needed to take

    care of business against a

    scrappy, hustling Cadillac

    team on April 19 and did so.

    The Blue Devils jumped to a

    3-0 halftime lead and held on

    for the shutout as junior Alex

    Simmons stood tall in the

    nets through the remainder

    of the match.

    Simmons was simply

    super, stopping everything

    directed her way and she

    threw in a couple of spectac-

    ular diving saves just to

    sprinkle a little spice on the

    well-dese rved shutout .

    Simmons had great support

    out front from scrap-iron

    tough sophomore stopper

    Becca Pensyl, among others.

    Byram noted Pensyl

    helped write the script for the

    Gaylord shutout, banging

    bodies in the box and keep-

    ing the Cadillac attackers off

    the mark wondering where

    she was going to strike next.

    Meanwhile, at the other

    end of the field, junior Sarah

    Polena and sophomore

    Maddie Hamilla were hover-

    ing around the Viking net

    and making life hard for the

    Cadillac netminder.

    Polena produced the first

    two goals of the match, each

    time taking a perfect pass

    from the hustling Hamilla.

    Byram noted the chemistry

    between the two forwards

    afterward and how their skill

    sets complement each other

    and give the Blue Devils a

    Mike Tyson-like 1-2 punch.

    Hanna Parker added to the

    Gaylord lead late in the first

    half, drilling one past the

    sprawling Viking goalie after

    perpetual-motion midfielder

    Kaylor Mikolowski, legs

    churning like pistons, gener-

    ated a pretty feed in front of

    the net for the assist.

    Missy Hartman closed out

    the scoring for Gaylord in the

    second half.

    Byram praised the solid

    contributions of midfielders

    Allie Gooding, Brooke Steir

    and Kaycie Burroughs after

    the match.

    The Blue Devils played at

    Glen Lake in a non-league

    clash on Thursday, April 26,

    and have back-to-back home

    matches on Monday, April

    30, against Suttons Bay and

    Tuesday, May 1, in another

    big league clash with T.C.

    West.

    Volunteers are needed for the Tip of the

    Mitt Watershed Council Volunteer Stream

    Monitoring program events; out on the

    streams on Saturday, May 19 and in the lab

    on Sunday, June 3. A half-day training ses-

    sion will be offered on Saturday, May 12 for

    individuals, families, and business teams

    that have a passion for protecting our local

    rivers and streams. The training includes

    both indoor and outdoor components that

    cover all aspects of the monitoring program,

    including program history and goals, moni-

    toring protocols, sampling methods, and

    basic aquatic macroinvertebrate identifica-

    tion.

    Monitoring is an important way to obtain

    baseline and trend data about our local

    rivers and streams, states Kevin Cronk,

    Monitoring and Research Coordinator.

    Consistent monitoring information is need-

    ed in order to make informed resource deci-

    sions. It helps us protect our high quality

    rivers and streams and points out areas

    where more effort should be made to restore

    and protect these vital water resources.

    The Volunteer Stream Monitoring Program

    began in 2004 with just four volunteers mon-

    itoring Stover Creek in Charlevoix. Since

    then the program has continued to grow. In

    2011, the Watershed Council was awarded a

    grant from the Michigan Clean Water Corps

    to expand the Program to include monitor-

    ing on the Maple and Sturgeon Rivers.

    Currently, over 100 volunteers are monitor-

    ing 37 sites on 15 diff erent rivers and creeks.

    Any person or group willing to devote a

    small amount of time and energy to conduct

    simple stream checks in wade-able rivers

    and streams on a bi-annual basis (May and

    September) can become a Volunteer Stream

    Monitor. The spring monitoring events will

    take place on the following dates:

    TRAINING DAY - Saturday, May 12 from

    9:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m. at the Watershed Council

    office, downtown Petoskey.

    FIELD DAY - Saturday, May 19 from 9:00

    a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at various local streams in

    Northern Michigan.

    INDOOR SORTING & IDENTIFICATION

    DAY - Sunday, June 3 from Noon - 3:00 p.m..

    Due to construction at NCMC's lab, the loca-

    tion will be determined at a later date.

    Attending all three sessions is recom-

    mended, but not required. There is no fee for

    attending the monitor events, however

    advanced registration is appreciated.

    To register for the training or f or more

    information, please contact Dan Myers at
