In the win over Glenn,Petoskey senior tailback JoeRobbins added to the All-State caliber achievements ofhis stellar senior season.Rocket Robbins explodedfor 215 yards rushing histhird game this season of
200-plus yards and helpedturn the tide of the game inPetoskeys favor with an elec-trifying 79-yard TD sprint inthe third quarter. At the timeof Robbins long, weavingrun to the house, Petoskeyled just 14-7.
The visiting Bobcats pulledto within 10 points, 14-14,
with five minutes left in thefourth quarter with a fumblereturn for a TD, but oppor-tunistic junior Tony
DeAgostino alertly scoopedup the ensuing onside kickand raced 41 yards the other
way to put Petoskeys finalpoints on the board and sealthe deal.
Junior quarterback QuinnAmeel tallied on a 4-yard runon Petoskeys first drive of thegame to give Petoskey a 7-0advantage on the score-board. Ameel had kept thedrive going with a key fourth-down hook-up with glue-fin-gered Zak Lewis.
The score remained 7-0

yards off-tackle with 2:08 left
in the third quarter.The Bobcats momentum
was short-lived, however, asthe 6-foot-3, 205-poundRobbins turned in the latestdisplay of his gridiron mas-tery, converting a conven-tional sweep into a sweet 79-

GAYLORD Three of thefive playoff football teams inthe coverage area of the
Weekly Choice haveadvanced to the secondround.
Petoskey in Division 3,
Grayling in Division 5 andMancelona in Division 7 allwon their pre-district gamesover the weekend and earneda berth in the district finals.In Division 8, Mio lost atFrankfort 34-24 andJohannesburg-Lewiston lostat home to perennial gridironpower Beal City, 43-20.
Petoskey, Grayling andMancelona all have verytough opponents in theirrespective districts. Petoskeydefeated Bay City John Glenn31-14 and faces unbeatenand top-ranked MountPleasant (10-0) on Saturdayat 1 p.m. Grayling outscoredBenzie Central 41-28 and
travels north and west toMenominee for its districttitle game. Mancelona edged
Whittemore-Prescott 16-14to earn a playoff rematch
with Traverse City St. Francisthis Friday, Nov. 4, at ThirlbyField.
Johannesburg-Lewistonconcludes an excellent sea-son under head coach JohnBush with an 8-2 record. TheCardinals may be the onlyteam in MHSAA history toearn a playoff berth with sixstraight road victories. Theironly regular-season loss was
to defending Ski ValleyConference champMancelona.
Mio concludes anotherstrong season under coachJim Gendernalik with a 7-3log. Senior quarterbackGrant Price was one of thetop impact players in all ofnorthern Michigan, accumu-lating more than 1,000 yardspassing and more than 1,000
yards rushing and being atop defensive player for theThunderbolts as well.
Div. 3, Region 1District 1
Petoskey (9-1) atMount Pleasant (10-0)Saturday, 1 p.m.
Petoskey has the tall task oftraveling Saturday to take on
the top-ranked Div. 3 team inthe state. The high-poweredOilers defeated Cadillac 45-10 in their pre-district clash.
The Northmen, who havenever faced Mount Pleasantbefore, are seeking their first-ever district title. Theyadvanced to the district title
game once before in 2008 when they ironically lost toJohn Glenn.
Petoskey will continue torely on the sweet feet andblinding bursts of senior tail-back Joe Rocket Robbins,
who is in the midst of arecord-setting All-State sea-son. The hard-charging,high-stepping Robbinsshowed up big against Glenn,amassing 215 yards and scor-ing on a 79-yard sprint.Petoskeys ability to breakRobbins loose is one key fac-tor in its ability to be compet-itive with the Oilers and havethe chance to win in the end.
Another key factor for the
Northmen is keeping thepotent Oilers from executingbig plays. The hard MountPleasant has to work toscores its points, the better itbodes for the visitingNorthmen.
Div. 5, Region 1,District 1Grayling (9-1) atMenominee (8-2)Saturday, 2 p.m.
Grayling (9-1) has earned aberth in the district finals forthe second year in a row andfor the fourth time in schoolhistory. The Vikings of coachTim Sanchez are in search oftheir second district champi-onship, the first coming in2005 with a 35-18 victory athome over Kingsford.
This is the second year in arow that Grayling will vie forthe Div. 5 district title atMenominee. Last year, the
Vikings lost by a lopsided 60-16 margin but they expect tobe much more competitivethis time around while look-ing to reverse the outcome.Menominee (8-2) has suf-fered two close defeats, 43-42to Riverside of Milwaukee in
week two and 10-7 toMarquette in week eight. TheMaroons, who reached thesemifinals last year and wonthe state title in 2007, defeat-
ed Kingsley 56-6 in the pre-district opener.
The Vikings set a schoolrecord for wins with their 42-28 slugfest triumph on thehome field over BenzieCentral. Lefty QB Zane Tobinhit for 15-of-24 aerials for 224
yards before being forced to
the sidelines with a concus-sion. Versatile senior RileyZigila took over as the signalcaller, hitting on 4-of-8 for 53
yards and a TD.
Div. 7, Region 1,District 2Mancelona (10-0) at
T.C. St. Francis (9-1)Friday, 7 p.m.
Undefeated Mancelonaearned a berth in the districtfinals for the second year in arow and the third time since2007 with its hard-fought 16-14 victory at home over
Whittemore-Prescott. Lastyear, the Ironmen went northand lost to state finalistIshpeming in the district titlegame. This year, coach DanDerrers troops go west to
take on perennial gridironpower Traverse City St.Francis (9-1) at Thirlby Field.
This is the second time theIronmen face the dauntingtask of taking on St. Francis
with the district title on theline. In 2007, they went toThirlby Field and lost 52-0.
That year the unbeatenGladiators had one of thebest teams in their schoolhistory, advancing all the wayto the state finals.
This year, the Gladiatorsare good but nearly as domi-nant. They advanced to thedistrict finals with a work-manlike 21-6 victory at homeover a fast, physical Lake Citysquad.
Mancelona will seek tounleash explosive playmak-ers Austin Spires and WyattDerrer on the fast turf atThirlby but must find a wayto neutralize the blitzing andhot pressure of the St. Francisdefense.
Petoskey, Grayling and Mancelona all win pre-district playoffs, move on to districtchampionship game; Mio, J-L fall in openers

TEAMS!
time on a 23-yard field goal to extend the lead to 24-7.Just when it looked like this one was in the books, Glenn
responded with a defensive touchdown. Petoskey was drivingtoward another potential score when linebacker Glenn
Wardenski picked up a fumble and motored 76 yards to givethe Bobcats a sudden spark of life with five minutes left toplay.
Glenn needed a successful onside kick to have a shot at acomeback. DeAgostino, another member of Petoskeys out-standing junior class, had other ideas, however, making anathletic play as he picked up the live ball and outraced every-one to the end zone. Lambertis final boot of the night made it31-14 and thats how it remained until the final buzzer.
It was another HUGE night for Robbins, who added somemore school records to his growing total. The senior not onlybecame Petoskeys all-time leader in career and single-seasonrushing yards and career and single-season touchdowns, healso established a new school record in interceptions ondefense!
Running efficiently behind the Battering Blue Wall ofHunter Stinger, Ben Loomis, Shane Severn and company,Robbins zigged, zipped and zoomed to 213 yards on the nighton 18 carries and continued his policy of showing up big inthe biggest games. Its no coincidence that Robbins other two200-plus games this season came against rugged Big Northfoes Traverse City Central and Traverse City West in must win
contests.Fryczynski also had a big night in his return to action. TheFry Guy burned up the turf with his slashing, slamming runsfor 91 yards on 13 attempts and had the 29-yard TD gallop onhis stat line. It was like a family reunion in the Petoskey back-field on Friday as power-driving senior fullback Eian Delphreturned to the lineup as well.
Robbins interception was one of three the Northmen hadin the game against beleaguered Bobcat quarterback RyanLietermann.

By Mike Dunn
GRAYLING The win
Friday night didnt come eas-
ily or without some cost, but
the Grayling Vikings repeated
last years feat and secured
their Div. 5 playoff opener on
the home field. Graylingoutscored Benzie Central 42-
28 to advance to the D-5 dis-
trict finals at Menominee for
the second year in a row.
The Vikings (9-1) of coach
Tim Sanchez will vie for the
district title for the fourth
time since 2003. In 2005,
Grayling won its lone district
title with a victory at home
over Kingsford. Last year, the
Vikings advanced to the title
game at Menominee but lost
by a lopsided margin to the
powerful Maroons.
This year, the Vikings hope
to find a way to reverse the
outcome when they face host
Menominee on Saturday at 2
p.m. Itll be tough but the
Vikings of coach Sanchez are
noted for their mental and
physical toughness. And
theyre certainly not a team
to shrink from tough chal-
lenges.
Senior QB Zane Tobin, the
Vikes lethal lefty, led
Grayling to a 28-14 halftime
advantage before being shak-
en up and forced to the side-lines. Tobin was performing
surgery on the Benzie sec-
ondary before his departure,
dissecting the Huskie
defenders while connecting
on 15-of-24 aerials for 224
yards and two TDs.
Versatile senior Riley Zigila
was called upon by Sanchez
to take Tobins place as signal
caller in the second half and
Zigila, who is normally a big-
play flanker who runs and
receives the ball with stat-
popping frequency, filled in
nicely, hitting on 4-of-8 air
strikes for 53 yards with a TD.
Zigila zoomed and blasted to
another 75 yards of real
estate on 15 attempts and he
scored one of the Vikes six
TDs in the game.
The kids were clicking
from the get-go, Sanchez
told reporters after the game.
The atmosphere (on the
home field) was great. Even
after we lost our quarterback
in the first half, the kids ral-
lied.
Double D DevonDawson displayed his soft
hands, sweet feet and hard
head as he placed his burn-
ing brand on the Grayling
victory. Dawson, a senior
who made a sensational
leaping catch in the end zone
the week before against St.
Francis, continued to be an
impact player among the
receivers, pulling down eight
aerials for 158 yards, includ-
ing a pair of TDs.
Rugged rawhide-tough
junior linebacker Joey
Schwartz was in Slam Mode
throughout the game, as
usual, making 11 tackles to
lead OConnells Carnivores
defensively. All-State senior
defensive end Griffin Dean,
the Growl of the
Carnivores, contributed 10
tackles with a typically strong
performance and Zigila
Warfare was also a big part of
the defensive effort. Zigila
not only made eight take-
downs but he also recorded
an interception.
When Grayling and
Menominee faced off last
year, the Maroons prevailed
60-16 on their way to the D-5
semifinals. Menominee, the
No. 1 seed in the district, is 8-
2 this season. The Maroons
beat No. 4 seed Kingsley 56-6
in their playoff opener.
The past few weeks have
been costly for the Vikings,
who lost fiery senior Ryan
The Wrecker Randall, a
three-year starter at O-line
and linebacker, to injury dur-
ing the St. Francis regular-
season finale, and lost start-
ing QB Tobin during the
Benzie game on Friday.

FRANKFORT Mio put up
a heck of a fight Friday at
Frankfort. A 20-point first-
half deficit proved too much
to overcome, however, as the
Thunderbolts fell 34-24 in
the Div. 8 pre-district playoff.
Mio ends another notable
season with a 7-3 mark and
the North Star League cham-
pionship trophy. Frankfort
(8-2) will host Beal City (7-3)
on Saturday at 1 p.m. for the
district title.
The Thunderbolts trailed
28-8 at the half but rallied in
the third and fourth quarters
to outscore the host Panthers
16-6 and make a game of it.
Mio senior quarterback
Grant Price, who capped a
brilliant prep career with
another gritty, hard-edged
performance as a runner and
passer, brought his team
within 12 points, 28-16, late
in the third quarter with a 2-
yard TD toss to leaping tight
end Byron Devers in the end
zone.
Frankfort responded with
its lone scoring drive of the
second half, going 57 yards
after recovering the
Thunderbolts onside kick
attempt. QB Talon Bigley
bulled over from the 1 to
increase the Panther lead to
34-16.
Mio did not go down with-
out a fight. The Thunderbolts
clawed to within 10 points
when Price connected with
the streaking figure of Tod
Rondo. Prices conversion
run trimmed Frankforts lead
to 34-24 but that was as close
as the Thunderbolts would
get on this night.
Price surpassed the centu-
ry mark in rushing and pass-
ing once again. The deter-
mined senior signal caller
collected 126 hard-earned
yards of rushing real estate
and hooked up on 15-of-35
aerials for another 200 yards
on a night when Mio had to
go to the air more frequentlythan it wanted to because of
the early deficit.
Price and Rondo connect-
ed twice for scoring strikes in
the game.
For the season, Price
amassed 1,236 yards passing
on 81 completions with 16
TDs through the air. The
shifty 6-foot-1, 200-pound
quarterback also accumulat-
ed an eye-popping 1,335
yards rushing in 10 games,
averaging 135.5 yards while
scoring 20 times and helping
Mio to the league title and
another playoff berth.
The reliable Rondo, whohad six receptions for 130
yards and the two touch-
downs in the contest, fin-
ished the productive 2011
season with 27 grabs for 533
yards and 11 touchdowns.

Boos Boys make history,push record to 10-0 whileearning return berth inD-7 district finals
By Mike Dunn
MANCELONA The 2011Mancelona football teamtook another huge step for-
ward on the home fieldFriday and made school his-tory once again. TheIronmen of coach Dan BooDerrer staged two critical
defensive stands in the sec-ond half Friday to preserve ahard-fought 16-14 victoryover Whittemore-Prescott inthe Division 7 playoff opener,keeping the season alive andpushing their unbeaten markto 10-0.
Mancelona took a 16-7lead into the half and hadtwo interceptions inside the5-yard line in the second halfto assure the lead stuck. Inthe third quarter, junior cor-nerback Justin Spires inter-cepted a pass at the 2. In thefourth quarter, free safetyKyle Schepperley made aleaping interception at the
goal line after the visitingCardinals had a first down atthe 10-yard line with thechance to pull ahead in thefinal minutes.
The old saying is Defense wins championships and itwas the defense that won forus tonight, said Derrer, whohas guided the Ironmen intothe postseason for the fifthtime in his six years at thehelm of the program and hasbrought them to the districtchampionship game for thethird time. We struggled alittle bit offensively but thedefense came through for us.Ive been preaching to thekids all year that, with the
competition you see in theplayoffs youre not going toscore 40 or 50 points. Youhave to rely on your defenseto keep you in the game andthats what happenedtonight.
The victory assured theIronmen of a berth in the dis-trict finals against TraverseCity St. Francis. The Ironmentravel to Thirlby Field to facethe playoff-tested Gladiatorsthis Friday, Nov. 4, at 7 p.m.
Itll be a tough challengebut Derrer is happy his teamis in the hunt.
This years group has worked hard to get here,
Derrer said. They put in a lotof time in the weight room inthe off-season and they
worked hard all year. Now wehave a shot at a districtchampionship and thats
what we wanted.This years team is the first
ever for Mancelona to win 10games in a season. Last year,Mancelona won nine gamesin a season for the first timein school history and hostedand won a playoff game forthe first time ever.
This year, Boos Boys havemaintained a very high level
of play, winning a home play-off game for the secondstraight year and advancingto the district title game. Lastseason, the Ironmen wontheir home playoff gameagainst Norway on aSaturday afternoon. This
year, the men in black wontheir home playoff game
under the Friday night lights,so that was another first forthe school and the team.
In the post-game huddle,though, Derrer admonishedthe troops to stay hungry.
I hope youre not satisfiedbecause we havent doneanything yet, Derrer told hisplayers. A district champi-onship is what we set oursights on. When we win next
week, then you have some-thing to celebrate.
Derrer acknowledged toreporters that St. Francis is atough team to face, a storiedprogram with a long historyof postseason success. The
Ironmen arent going toThirlby Field planning tolose, however.
Theyre always one of thetop teams in Division 7,Derrer said of St. Francis. Wehave to go over there andplay a complete game. Wehave to figure out a way todeal with their blitzing when
we have the ball and we haveto keep their run game incheck when they have theball. As long as we go overthere and play defense, wellbe in the game.
The first order of businessfor Mancelona was gettingpast Whittemore-Prescott,another playoff-tested pro-
gram with lots of postseasonexperience.
The Cardinals got off to aquick start when AnthonyBell returned the openingkickoff to the Mancelona 32-
yard line, setting up a five-play scoring drive that con-cluded with Bells 21-yardrun off-tackle just 90 secondsinto the contest. Tyler Janishspoint after gave Whittemorea 7-0 advantage.
Mancelona respondedwith a pair of second-quartertouchdowns to take a 16-7lead into the locker room atintermission.
The first score came after a
typical Ground-and-Pounddrive of 13 plays covering 69 yards. The Ironmen rackedup four first downs in themarch, including a key 16-
yard pass from junior KyleSchepperley to tight end EricTracey on fourth-and-4 fromthe Cardinal 41. The Sheriff,dazzling junior halfback
Wyatt Derrer, capped thedrive with a 4-yard powersweep to the left behind theblocking of pulling guardsDalton Sulz and NickHoogerhyde and tackle J.R.Cook.
Schepperley then passedto Tracey for two points andan 8-7 lead at the 11:01 markof the second quarter.
The next scoring march forthe Ironmen covered just oneplay and came after a muffedpunt attempt from theCardinals. On fourth-and-10from their own 35, theCardinals prepared to puntbut the ball sailed over thehead of Clay Loomis. The
punter managed to grab theball and somehow get it off,but it only traveled 3 yardsbefore going out of thebounds.
On the first play from theWhittemore 38, Schepperleyhanded to fullback AustinSpires on Mancelonas bread-and-butter trap play up thegut. The hard-driving Spires,legs churning like pistons,powered his way past the lineof scrimmage and then out-raced everyone to the endzone for a sudden six points.Schepperley then went to theair again for a conversionthat would ultimately pro-vide the margin of victory.
This time he tossed to Derrer,who made a nice catch in theend zone, cradling the ball ashe went down to secure thetwo points and a 16-7 edgeon the scoreboard.
On its initial drive of thesecond half, Whittemoremoved into Ironmen territo-ry behind the running of full-back Cody Foreman. On first-and-10 from the 28, quarter-back Tyler Janish lofted apass in the direction ofLoomis but Justin Spires wasstride for stride with the
receiver and intercepted theball at the 2 to thwart thedrive.
The Cardinals did get onthe scoreboard early in thefourth quarter, though, mov-ing 48 yards on seven playsafter linebacker Tyler Verrettemade a fumble recovery.Janish found Bell open on acurl route and Bell eludedone tackle before completinga 30-yard scoring play on
fourth-and-4. Janish addedthe PAT to make the score 16-14 with 10:16 left to play.
On the ensuing drive, theIronmen moved into
Whittemore territory afterDerrer broke free around endfor 22 yards but the driveended abruptly when theIronmen lost another fumblein the slippery conditions.
Whittemore took over at itsown 40 with 9:17 remainingand moved the ball quickly toa first-and-10 situation justoutside the 10-yard line. TheMancelona defense came upbig at that point, however.
After Janish was halted for a1-yard loss by Dakota Ormanand Tyler Aldrich on firstdown, Janish threw to Bell inthe flats on second down andlinemen Jon Truck Tysonand Brandon Scott buriedhim for a 6-yard loss.
The Cardinals ultimatelyfaced fourth-and-20 from the20-yard line when Janishtried to hit the long-armedLoomis over the middle forthe go-ahead score. KyleSchepperley was in the rightposition, however. His inter-ception and subsequent 17-
yard return saved the day.The Ironmen then pound-
ed the ball, earning a firstdown when Derrer went right
and pushed behind Sulz andTyler Crider for a 4-yard gainon third-and-3 from the 24.By the time the Ironmen
were forced to punt, therewas minimal time remainingon the clock and theCardinals were not able to doanything with their final pos-session.
Truck Tyson, a senior, was sporting a huge smilewhen the final buzzer sound-ed.
This feels amazing!Tyson said to a nearbyreporter. I love this team andI love games like this.
The dashing Derrer deked
and darted his way to 103hard-earned yards on 20 car-ries. It was the first playoffappearance for Sheriff
Wyatt and he showed up when called upon in theclutch. Playoff veteran AustinSpires amassed 58 yards onseven carries to go with his38-yard TD burst, and he also
did his tractor imitation while leading the playsthrough the line and knock-ing enemy linebackers some-
where into the adjoining
cornfield. Hard-drivingTrevor Ackler accumulated30 tough yards on 10 carries.Schepperley was 2-for-3through the air for 23 yards
with the key 16-yard comple-tion to Tracey on the firstscoring drive.
On the defensive side, theDark Diesel Dalton Sulzhad five smashdowns fromhis tackle spot. Scott, Orman
and Kyle Schepperley eachhad four takedowns. Acklerhad a fumble recovery.Schepperley and JustinSpires had interceptions.
In the last issue, we report-ed that 2011 marked the firsttime Mancelona ever wentundefeated in the regularseason. That was not correct,however. Though this was thefirst year Mancelona ever
went 9-0 in the regular sea-son, but it was actually thefourth time Mancelona hasfinished without a loss.

BEAR LAKE -- Gaylord,
Petoskey and Cheboygan
competed Saturday in the
Div. 2 regional cross country
meet hosted by Benzie
Central at Bear Lake.
The Gaylord boys came in
third overall in the regional
meet that is perenially one of
the toughest in the state. The
Blue Devils, fueled by the All-Region performance of jun-
iors Nate Fischer and
Charlend Howard and the
top-20 finish of No. 3 runner
Jake Pasternak, had 113
points to advance as a team.
Senior Freddy Liederbach
of Petoskey came in 14th
place overall in 16:25 to qual-
ify for state as an individual.
Senior Seth Duncan (16:47)
was the No. 1 runner forCheboygan.
Fischer took seventh place
at region with an excellent
time of 16:08 with Howard
close behind in 11th, finish-
ing in 16:19. Pasternak just
missed All-Region honors
but still posted an oustand-ing time of 16:37, followed by
Ian Callison (17:08) in 32nd,
Sean Hope (17:22) in 45th,Collin Monusko (17:37) in
58th and Josh Green (17:38)
in 60th. The top five split for
Gaylord was a mere 1:14.
"The boys ran an amazing-
ly fast time in a stackedregional with two top-10
ranked teams," said Gaylord
coach Jeff Kalember. "The
boys all had personal-best
times."
Fischer's time was the
fastest by a Gaylord harrier in
six years, Kalember reported.
This is the second year in a
row that Fischer and Howard
have both earned All-Regionrecognition.
Petoskey finished in fourth
place in the final team stand-
ings with 137 points. Logan
Hensley (16:57) came in 26th
to finish as No. 2 runner
behind Liederbach, followed
by Jack Touran (17:02, 29th),
Spencer Nemecek (17:03,
30th) and Mark Smith (17:11,
38th).
IN THE girls' race, two
Petoskey runners and one
from Cheboygan qualified
individually.
Freshmen Sarah Goble
(18:44) and Sydney Hopp
(19:01) finished seventh and
ninth, respectively, forPetoskey and freshman phe-
nom Mandy Paull of
Cheboygan (18:34) capturedsixth.
Kathy Rajewski (20:17)
came in 30th for the
Northmen with Sam
Rajewski (20:56, 45th) andMorgan Jons (21:39, 64th)
rounding out the top five.
The Gaylord girls didn'thave any top-20 finishers but
the top three Blue Devil run-
ners were in the top 30.
Megan Borgeson (19:55)came in 21st with Katelynn
Dreyer (20:00) in 22nd fol-
lowed by Maria Warren(20:15, 29th), Paige Hypio
(20:27, 34th), Ellen Seidell(21:05, 53rd), Noelle Warren
(21:08, 54th) and Geena Duff
(21:30, 59th)."The girls would have
qualified in nearly any other
regional in Michigan,"
Kalember said. "Severalranked teams were in front of
us but the girls ran great. Six
of our seven girls had person-al best times."

Visiting Aggies surge toearly lead, force J-L intocomeback mode
By Mike Dunn
JOHANNESBURG Battle-
tested Beal City, a team thattypically makes long playoff
runs year after year, came to
Johannesburg on Friday
night and proved its mettle
against a physical, aggressive
Johannesburg-L ewiston
defense. The Aggies pushed
to an early lead and,although the Cardinals
scored three times in the sec-
ond quarter to make it close,
the early deficit proved too
much to overcome as Beal
City prevailed 43-20.
J-L closes a notable 2011
campaign with an 8-2 mark
while the Aggies (7-3)
advanced to the district finals
against Frankfort, which
defeated Mio 34-24.
Its been a great season,
said J-L head coach John
Bush, who is classy in victory
and gracious in defeat. Beal
City jumped ahead and we
couldnt answer. They have a
very good team with a history
of success and they played
really well.
The Cardinals faced an
early 27-0 deficit but refused
to wilt, rallying behind the
passing and on-field maneu-
vers of junior QB Alex Payne
and the quick strikes of full-back Mitch Howitzer Hardy
and halfbacks Dylan Kibby
and Brian VanCoillie to score
three times in the second
quarter and trim the deficit
to 27-20. The O-line of center
Sean Aisthorpe, guards Blake
Huff and Pancake King
Dakota Finnerty and tackles
Garrett Koronka and LoganMiller along with tight ends
Gunnar Owens and Nick
Michael created seams as J-L
pounded the ball and moved
the chains.
The visiting Aggies did all
the scoring in the second
half, however, reaching theend zone twice and keeping
the Cardinals from putting
any more points on the
board.
Though disappointed with
the outcome, Bush was
happy with his teams gritty
effort. He expressed his grati-
tude to the seniors for the
leadership they exhibited
this season.
You dont get a senior
class like this one to come
along that often, Bush said.
Theyre a great group.
Theyre talented but they
were also leaders on and off
the field and did whatever
you asked them to do. Theyll
be missed.
The seniors on the J-L ros-
ter included Brett Kortman,
Gunnar Owens, Nick
Michael, Sean Aisthorpe and
Blake Huff in addition to
VanCoillie.Payne is among the under-
classmen who will be return-
ing for Bush and his staff next
year. He closed out the sea-
son with a solid performance
behind center, hitting on 10-
of-16 aerials for 121 yards
and a TD strike to tight end
Michael.
The 6-0, 216-pound Huff, a
two-way trench warrior who
had an All-State caliber sea-son, covered the field like fer-
tilizer from his inside line-
backer post, making a whop-
ping 17 tackles against the
Aggies. The 6-foot-7, 270-
pound Aisthorpe also
showed up big at nose guard
for the Cardinals.

AddingInsulation
Compliments of
Ed Wohlfiel
Insulation keeps your
home warm in the winter
and cool in the summer.
There are several com-
mon types of insulation
fiberglass (in both batt
and blown forms), cellu-
lose, rigid foam board,
and spray foam.
Reflective insulation (or
radiant barrier) is another
insulating product which
can help save energy in
hot weather.
When correctly
installed with air sealing,
each type of insulation
can deliver comfort and
lower energy bills during
the hottest and coldest
times of the year.
Insulation perform-
ance is measured by R-
value its ability to resist
heat flow. Higher R-values
mean more insulating
power. Different R-values
are recommended for
walls, attics, basements
and crawlspaces.
Insulation works best
when air is not moving
through or around it. So it
is very important to seal
air leaks before installing
insulation to ensure that
you get the best perform-
ance from the insulation.
To get the biggest sav-
ings, the easiest place to
add insulation is usually
in the attic. A quick way
to see if you need more
insulation is to look
across your uncovered
attic floor. If your insula-
tion is level with or below
the attic floor joists, you
probably need to add
more insulation. The rec-
ommended insulation
level for most attics is R-
49 (or about 1518 inches,
depending on the insula-tion type).
