GRAYLING It was anoth-er outstanding season on thegridiron for the Grayling Vikings and head coach TimSanchez. Two of the key play-ers who helped Grayling achieve a 9-2 mark this sea-son, repeat as Lake MichiganConference champs and earna home playoff victory over

perennial U.P. powerKingsford were honored last week by the Michigan Associated Press.

Senior QB Jake Swander,the Gunslinger who engi-neered the prolific SanchezSpread assault, and elusive,glue-fingered receiver TylerMcClanahan, who shatteredhis own school record forreceptions in a season andestablished a new schoolrecord in yards receiving, were both named first-team All-State in Division 5-6 by the AP on Tuesday, Nov. 24.

Swander and McClanahanare among 12 players fromthe coverage area of the Weekly Choice who earned All-State recognition, thoughthe other nine were all hon-orable mention picks.

In Division 3-4, three play-ers for Hall of Fame headcoach Jack Coon atCheboygan were honorablemention picks for the Chiefs, who finished 6-4 and earneda playoff berth as an inde-pendent. Two-way linemenColton Hudak and JamesonKnolton made the gradealong with versatile running

back, linebacker and punterBen Pearson.

In Division 5-6, InlandLakes explosive running back Daniel Flowers andrawhide-tough linebackerStanley Schramm III werehonorable mention.

In Division 7-8, slippery senior quarterbacks BradRhoads of Mio and Nick Harrington of Gaylord St.Mary were honorable men-tion along with Mios out-

standing senior safety SethThomey and two blue-collarbattlers for coach Dan BooDerrers MancelonaIronmen: two-way linemanTristen Fleet and launching linebacker Luke SmashMouth Smigielski.

AT GRAYLING, Swanderconcluded a notable prepcareer in which he guided the Vikings to their best two-yearstretch in school history,posting a 9-1 record last yearin addition to the 9-2 mark this year.

Swander, a savvy lefty whocan run as well as pass, firedto a strong cadre of receiversand led an aggressive, up-tempo assault that gave mostopposing defenses fits. The6-foot, 200-pound Swanderconnected on 179-of-308attempts during the seasonfor a whopping 2,373 yardsand 28 touchdowns.

In the thrilling 42-25 play-off win at home overKingsford, Swander hit on18-of-36 aerials for 263 yardsand four touchdowns,including three toMcClanahan of 9, 50 and 11

yards and a 7-yard strike toBrandon Latusek. He also

closed out the scoring with agame-clinching 3-yard TDburst of his own late in thefourth quarter.

McClanahan, also knownas T-Mac, was on thereceiving end of 10 passesfrom his teammate in theKingsford game for 191 yardsand the three scores. The 5-foot-10, 160-poundMcClanahan, who is also anoutstanding member of the Viking secondary, has been ahuge impact player on the Viking varsity for three years.

Last year, he caught arecord 60 passes, breaking the old mark of 58 set by Eli VanNuck in 2005. This year,McClanahan took the receiv-ing mark into the strato-sphere, pulling down anincredible 80 passes 1,211receiving yards and 18 TDs.

With his speed of foot andshifty moves, McClanahanaveraged an amazing 15.1 yards per catch! He also

established a new record forreceiving yards in a season,edging Eli VanNucks total of 1,185 yards from 2005.McClahanan also leaves hiscleat marks on the schoolrecord book in another cate-gory, beating out the recordfor career receptions of 146previously held by Cody Myers.

AT CHEBOYGAN, Hudak and Knolton were fierce,effective two-way trench warriors. Not only did they help the run-oriented Chiefsgrind out more than 2,300 yards of real estate but they were also a f orce defensively.Hurricane Hudak made anincredible 57 stops as aninterior lineman with twocaused fumbles, a fumblerecovery and six sacks.Knowlton also generated six sacks with a caused fumbleand 49 tackles from hisdefensive end post.

Petroleum Pearsonpoured it on for the Chiefsout of the backfield, generat-ing more than 1,000 yards asa runner and receiver whilescoring 10 times. He was alsoa key contributor to the

Chiefs stubborn defense,making six interceptions andrecording 45 takedowns witha fumble recovery. The versa-tile Pearson was also theteam punter, averaging athunderous 42 yards perboot.

INLAND LAKES returnedto the playoffs for the firsttime since 2009, and thefleet-footed Flowers and thehard-nosed Schramm were abig part of the reason why.

The fluid Flowers slashed

and dashed his way to 1,031 yards rushing on 82 carries,averaging a healthy 12.6 yards every time he touchedthe ball, and he scored 12times. The junior surpassedthe century mark seven timesin I-Lakes 10 games and he was a force on special teamsas well, returning a punt anda kickoff coast-to-coast thisseason.

Schramm helped put biteinto the aggressive Bulldog defense from his inside line-backer spot, making a team-high 72 tackles with threesacks and a fumble recovery.Schramm also manned aspot on the Bulldogs O-line.

AT ST. MARY, Harringtonput up eye-popping numbersfor first-year coach KevinOConnell. The electric feetof the Human Hurricanecarried him to 1,428 yardsrushing on 103 carries for andazzling average of 13.9 yards per carry! He scored 21times on the ground, anamazing total given that heonly played at full strength insix of St. Marys nine games.Many of Harringtons TDs were long, weaving runs

where he showed extraordi-nary field vision and turnedon the afterburners after get-ting into the clear.Harrington also had another506 yards throwing the ball with five air strikes for touch-downs.

MANCELONA repeated asSki Valley South championand extended its league win-

ning streak to 26 games, dat-ing back to October of 2009.The Ironmen reboundedfrom losses to quality foes Elk Rapids and St. Ignace in thefirst two games of the seasonto go unbeaten the rest of the way and advance to the play-offs for the seventh time in

ROSCOMMON TheKirtland Community CollegeBoard of Trustees deflated thecolleges mens and womensbasketball program for 2014-15 and beyond, after voting tosuspend the athletic programindefinitely at its regularmonthly meeting Thursday,Nov. 21.

The board members voted,4-2, to suspend the basketballprogram, while continuing tohonor any athletic scholar-ships for the current 2013-14season. Trustees Jack Kramerand David Dougherty votedagainst the motion made by MaryAnn Ferrigan, theboards chairwoman.

Trustee Kristi McGregor, wife of KCC basketball coachTy McGregor, was absentfrom the meeting.

We tried to dissolve thebasketball program a year ago when we had budget issues,

Ferrigan said. (But) this yearstill goes.Ferrigan added the board

didnt suspend the basketballteam last year in time for the2013-14 season, which will beplayed, as coaches stated they had already recruited playersto play at Kirtland.

But, Kramer still ques-tioned why the board wasbeing asked to take suchaction, rather than looking for ways to address and fix any issues with the program.

I see the value of athletics, what its done for our stu-dents and what its done forus in the past, Kramer said,adding the action to suspendbasketball should have cometo the board by a recommen-dation from administrators.

We need a recommenda-tion from our administra-tion, he said. The problems will be fixed. Im not throwing out a program that can befixed.

Dougherty agreed.When something is bro-

ken, you fix it, he said.But, Ferrigan and other

board members cited budget-ary and other concerns as why they chose to act now.

Its been broken for a long time, Ferrigan said. Maybeif it gets fixed, we can put to

back. But, as it stands now,the way the program is being run, it should be done.

This has been a deterrenton our focus, on what we want to do, she added.Were too small a school tosupport a $300,000 program.

Wallace said suspen ding

the basketball program would allow the board andadministration to re-evaluate what changes need to bemade and if the board wantedto reinstate basketball.

I think we need somestand-down time to see whats needed for the pro-gram, Wallace said. This isso broken. We need to stop what were doing and fix what were doing.

(And) its not going to befixed when they start recruit-ing for next year.

I disagree, Kramerresponded.

Trustee Roy Spangler saidhes been concerned aboutthe apparent lack of oversightof the program since it wasestablished nearly 15 yearsago.

This program has been without guidance since thefirst athletic director has been

hired, he said. Talk aboutaccountability.

I do believe there are someproblems with the program.

However, before voting,Spangler questioned if theboard should delay taking action on the issue, allowing KCC president Dr. Tom Quinnand his staff to research theissue and present their find-ings to the board at its Dec. 12meeting.

Trustee Ed Pearen asked fora vote on the motion to betaken.

We need to move for- ward, Ferrigan said.

Kirtland first established anathletic program in 1999, withteams competing in theMichigan Community College Athletic Associationin mens and womens basket-ball, mens and womens crosscountry, and golf.

The Gaylord Gatorsopened the 2013-14 homeseason with a successful sec-ond-place finish againstKalkaska, Cadillac andCharlevoix on Saturday, Nov.23, at the Sportsplex.

The girls team was pacedby Danielle Hope with threefirst-place finishes and Grace Warmbier with two. Both

girls swam well enough inthese events to qualify for thestate finals which will be heldin April.

The boys team was led by Matthew Makarewicz withtwo firsts and a qualifying

time in the 200-yardIndividual Medley. SamanthaMoore, Ryne Bennett, and Anna Rooyaker also had first-place finishes.

With so many competitorsit is quite an achievement tofinish near the top of anevent. What is just as impor-tant to the swimmers is per-sonal improvement. This is a

measure of their dedicationto the sport and the effortthey are expending. Whenthe difference between firstplace and second place if often determined by 1/100ths of a second, a full

second improvement is hugein many events.

Here are some team mem-bers whose hard work paidoff with significant personal

improvements: AshlynnMuellenberg -7.90 seconds;Kennedy Johnson -5.29;Janelle Lamsa -7.64; Avery Geyer -14.02; Lilly Juranek -

8.72 and -12.06; Lizzie Wing -9.65; Mikala Ealy -6.94;Emma Cronin -9.77; andGrace Warmbier -6.77.

The Gators begin a new

GAYLORD For two sea-sons, the Ski Valley Conference was divided intoa North and a South Division.Thats changed now, howev-er.

With the departu re of Rogers City last year and now Rudyard, the conference hasgone from 12 teams to 10teams and now all 10 teamsare united in one super con-ference.

The new conference fea-tures Mancelona,Johannesburg-Lewiston,Gaylord St. Mary, CentralLake and Forest Area fromthe old South Division and St.Ignace, Pellston, Inland

Lakes and Pickford from theNorth. Since there are 10teams in the conference,none of the Ski Valley schools will have a non-conferencegame on the schedule.

The change affects footballonly. In other sports, Pickfordand St. Ignace do not partici-pate in the Ski Valley. Bellaire, which plays eight-man foot-ball, is part of the Ski Valley inall other sports.

Mancelona is the two-timedefending Ski Valley Southchampion and the four-timedefending Ski Valley champi-on going into the 2014 cam-paign. The Ironmen of coachDan Boo Derrer have notlost an official conferencegame since October of 2009

and will bring a 26-game

league winning streak into

next season.

Mancelona and St. Ignace,

the champion of the North

Division, did play during the

regular season, though, and

the Saints prevailed 26-20 in

overtime in week two.

Five teams from the Ski

Valley Mancelona ,

Johannesburg-Lewiston,

Inland Lakes, St. Ignace and

Pickford made the playoffs

in 2013.

Ski Valley will be a single 10-team league in

football only with start of 2014 season

Words that have hurt me the most were I can tell that you dont care! This string of words (or similar hurtful words) is often thrown out when a person has been hurt or offend-ed. Sometimes it is said to make the recipient feel guilty, but other times it is an attempt tobe hurtful. Id like to share some things that helped me when people have said hurtfulthings.

First Be careful how you defend yourself; otherwise, you can end up fueling the fire of negativity. In my case, there have been times when it might have appeared that I didnt care(though that was seldom the case). For example, a person missed church for two or three weeks and no one called him or her. Or, someone went into the hospital and only got a calland not a visit. My reply is there is only so much one can do in a 24-hour day. Note that your defense shouldnt attack the person. Just state the facts.

My second point is Dont let the persons remarks get into your spirit. Hurtful words canmanipulate us if we let them. In the past, I have allowed hurtful words to haunt me. My suggestion is to shake the hurtful words off quickly! If you blew it, admit it. If you need toapologize to the person do so, but then let it go. Realize that you are only human and so isthe other person. Over the years Ive blown it many times. It wasnt the first time and itprobably wont be the last. All of us should practice Ephesians 4:31-32 (NLT) that says Getrid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behav-ior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as Godthrough Christ has forgiven you. These are good words to live by!

Thoughts on... What words have hurt you the most?

You're not smart enough to do an -thing.

Real EstatePerk up Your

Home Without

Spending aFortuneCompliments of Ed Wohlfiel

You don't have to decorate ahome with expensive decorat-ing items, rather decorate withlittle creative things that reflect your personali ty and taste.Decorating a home is all aboutbeing creative. So put your cre-ative hat on and let your cre-ativeness fly, you will love it!

These little ideas can certainly ignite the passion in your heartand help kick-start your cre-ative side.

Paint Brighter - A little bright-ness is always needed, when you want to decorate yourhome! Dont adopt the neutralone paint approach; ratherpaint little things to the bright-est hues to bring that touch of life. So pick up your paint spray and do it with love.

Family Photos also do themagic - Instead of buying expensive wall hangings, printsome cool family photos andget them ready in simple wood-en frames. You can hang themall around the corridor for aroyal look.

Say it with Nature - Nature isthe best thing, when it comesdecorating your home frugally.So bring in some shade loving plants and nurture them inbeautiful self-painted cases. You can also use pebbles, rocksand shells around them to cre-ate a beautiful look indoors.

Mirrors on the Wall - So whatif your home is a little small, youcan create a wide spaciouseffect by using mirrors. Yes, mir-rors are great to make yourhome look spacious. So usemirrors all around your home.

Sweet Little Things - Vaseslook charming, with or withoutflowers, and the best vases that you can place are your antiqueperfume bottles! Why go tomarket to spend dollars on

vases. Just grab those empty perfume bottles, youve beenhiding in drawers for years anduse them.

Pretty Fabrics & Frills - Frillsare the best thing to give yourhome a soft and romanticeffect. So use lots of soft pillows with frills. Buy bed sheets in softcolors and frills to create aneffeminate look.

Creative Handmade crafts -Believe me, there is nothing more powerfully appealing then handmade crafts. If youhave that artist eye, you can cre-ate creative hand crafts, if not,use the internet and books tospice you up with ideas. You canuse cute little button on cush-ions. Grab large pieces of checkered or polka dot clothesto create cute handcrafteditems.

Sparkle it up with Candles -Candles are the best thing todecorate your home. You canreserve a special shelf for can-dles and fill it up with differentcolored candles for a tranquilsoothing environment.

Be yourself - Well, decorating a home is all about you and how you do it! Just dont copy othersideas, instead get inspirationand also add sparks of your ownpersonal taste to decorate yourhome frugally.
