LAKE CITY – The Lake City boys basketball team played tough enough and physical enough to beat Beal City on the home floor Fri-day in a key Highland Conference contest. The Trojans didn’t handle the ball well enough, however, and turnovers cost them a chance of victory against the talented Aggies.

Beal City pulled away in the fourth quarter of a close game to post a hard-earned 51-44 victory. The Aggies improved to 6-3 overall and 3-1 in the conference while Lake City slipped to 6-2 and 2-2 in the league.

Lake City coach John McGiness was disappointed that his team’s hard-nosed effort and physical play in the paint didn’t produce a win, but he didn’t make excuses afterward.

“Turnovers killed us,” he said. “You can’t turn the ball over 20 times against a team like Beal City and expect to win. They took the ball out of our hands several times in the fourth quarter and they made their shots. You have to give them credit. I think they wanted it a little more than we did at the end.”

McGiness went with a big lineup to play to the Trojans’ height ad-vantage over the visitors. It was an effective strategy as 6-foot-6 senior center Ross Bradley had an outstanding game, connecting for 14 points and pulling down 14 rebounds. High-flying junior Adam Williams also made his presence felt in the paint, scoring 13 and hauling in 12 boards to also notch a double-double.

Beal won, though, because it was able to generate turnovers on criti-cal Lake City possessions down the stretch and make the Trojans pay

McBAIN – The McBain girls took another big step forward in the race for the Highland Con-ference championship Tuesday, defeating talent-rich Pine River 60-49 before a large crowd on the home floor.

With the win in the much-anticipated contest, McBain sits alone atop the league standings with an 8-0 record. The Bucks, who were ranked sixth in the state before losing at Manton in their previous game, needed to beat McBain to forge a three-way tie for the league title. Instead, McBain has sole possession of first with a perfect 8-0 record, with Manton in second place with one loss and Pine River in third with two losses.

“The old saying is you take

care of the home court and that was our goal tonight,” Hamlet said after McBain improved to 9-3 overall. “Pine River has a very good team and we still have to face them over there, so this one tonight was huge in terms of the conference. We knew what kind of effort it would take. We wanted to go head-to-head and win every possession and, except for a three-minute lapse in the fourth quarter, that’s how we played.”

The Ramblers built an 18-point lead, 50-32, after junior Brittany Watson hit from the lane at the start of the fourth quarter. The lead still stood at 17 points with less than five minutes remaining and the only question that seemed relevant at that point was how big the final point spread would be.

Pine River, to its credit, began to nail shots from the perimeter,

including a pair of 3-pointers from sophomore Molly Motzer and two others from sophomore guard Jamie Justin and senior Miranda Nelson as the Bucks went on a 16-3 run and turned what looked like a rout into a real game. After Motzer drained her second trey with 1:35 to go, the McBain lead had been sliced to just five points, 54-49.

The Ramblers, showing the savvy of a team that has played high-stakes games in the playoffs the past two years, didn’t panic. Annemarie Hamlet, who earlier in the quarter had suffered a leg cramp that slowed her for three or four minutes, penetrated and drew fouls on McBain’s next three possessions. Hamlet, cool as a handful of fresh snow, made three

McBAIN – After his Ramblers nearly knocked off one of the best Class A teams in the state on the home court Saturday, McBain girls basketball coach Todd Ham-let could have been satisfied with his girls’ game effort.

Hamlet isn’t into moral vic-tories, though. He wanted very badly to win and so did his play-ers. More than that, the Ramblers expected to win, as they do every time they take the floor. In the aftermath of the tense 48-45 loss to Petoskey, Hamlet was dealing more with the pain of the narrow defeat and the impact it had on his players than he was exulting in his team’s near victory over the state-ranked Northmen.

“I’m disappointed for the girls,” Hamlet said after the Ramblers saw their eight-game winning streak snapped. “They’re taking this pretty hard right now. We didn’t look at this like Class A against Class C today. We saw this as an opportunity game and we came here to win. To come this close and not win hurts.”

The rare Saturday afternoon game was a showcase for two of the premier girls’ prep players in the region, senior Kerby Tamm of Petoskey and junior point guard Annemarie Hamlet of McBain.

Tamm and Hamlet led their re-spective teams in points while exhibiting on-the-floor leadership and timely shooting.

The Ramblers trailed 23-18 at halftime of the exciting seesaw contest, but turned the tables in the third quarter, outscoring the visitors 17-4 to assume a 35-27 lead heading into the final quarter. Hamlet scored six of her team-high 18 points in the quarter and senior forward Macy Vanderhoef, who also had a splendid game for the Ramblers, scored five of her 12 points, including a 3-pointer.

Petoskey rallied in the fourth quarter behind the hot hand of CMU-bound Tamm to trim the lead to 39-36 with 3:08 left in the game. Hamlet re-ignited the McBain offense at that point, however, penetrating into the lane twice in a row to push the Rambler lead back to seven points, 43-36, with 2:48 remaining.

Tamm answered Hamlet’s back-to-back drives to the hole with back-to-back drives of her own, sparking a late comeback that eventually brought her team the narrow victory. Kelsey Ance also hit a pair of key free throws with 40 seconds left to play to give Petoskey the lead for good.

“We knew this would be a battle down here and that’s why we wanted to come here,” said

Petoskey coach Matt Tamm after the Northmen improved to 9-2. “We made a decision to beef up our non-league schedule this year and we added McBain because we knew what kind of program they have. They’re very well-coached and they battle you for 32 minutes. We’re feeling mighty happy to leave here with a win.”

Junior Brittany Watson tallied six for the Ramblers and played hard in the paint. Vanderhoef hauled in six rebounds to go with her 12 points and tenacious senior Sarah Westdorp grabbed eight boards. Junior Dani Hoekwater also turned in strong minutes off the bench, engaging Petoskey’s 6-foot-3 Megan Tompkins in some lively battles under the boards. Se-nior guard Kasey Kamphouse hit a clutch basket, penetrating and putting one home off the glass with a minute left to temporarily give McBain a 45-44 lead.

McBain won the JV game 42-35 as Maddie Barnette burned the nets for 15 points and fellow freshman Kara Hughston put 11 on the board, including four points off steals in the final three minutes of the game. Kara, who plays much taller than her height, also grabbed nine rebounds and strong-armed freshman Katelyn Loeks pulled down nine boards as well.

McBAIN – The McBain boys didn’t show much rust in their Highland Conference encounter

with visiting Marion on Friday, relying on the crushing Koopman pressure to roll to a 70-27 vic-tory over a game-but-outmanned Marion squad.

McBain, playing for the first time in more than a week because of the postponement of the Evart game last Tuesday, showed little effect of the layoff while pushing to an overall record of 8-2 and 4-0 in the league.

McBain coach Bruce Koop-man was pleased with his team’s four-quarter effort at both ends of the floor, noting that he liked his team’s energy and consistency.

After a competitive first quarter, McBain outscored the visitors 23-9 in the second quarter to take a commanding 41-18 lead into the locker room.

Junior forward Nathan Smith, who is having a whale of a season for Koopman and the Ramblers, led the way with 20 points. Junior guard Derek Vongphasouk (14) and sweet-shooting sophomore Jared Larr (10) both hit for double digits from the backcourt and “Big Thunder” Cody King cast a long shadow on defense, as usual.

with points at the other end.With the game clock winding

down to less than three minutes and Lake City trailing 40-37, sophomore guard Cory Mead, who was a Trojan killer all night long, made a mid-court steal and converted it into a nice running layup to give the Aggies a 42-37 lead at the 2:41 mark and spark a run that ultimately pushed the Beal lead to 45-37 with just over a minute still showing on the clock.

Senior forward Brandon Hols-worth also made a steal for Beal and turned it into points during the game-turning run.

“We have to take better care of the ball,” McGiness said. “That’s the bottom line. If you want to beat the top teams in the Highland, you have to execute better than we did tonight. Now we need to regroup, learn from our mistakes and take our play to the next level.”

McGiness noted the hard play of Bradley, who somehow found ways to penetrate and score or draw fouls against an Aggie de-fense that clogged the lane pretty well.

Williams showed some amazing athleticism at times, at one point going high to pull down an offen-

sive rebound between two leaping Beal players and then converting the rebound into points with a kiss off the glass.

Strong-armed junior forward Nolan Davenport scored four and was a physical presence in the paint for Lake City as well.

Senior guard Lee Stih tallied four while Seth McGiness, Caleb Davenport and Nick Reed each connected for three points.

Beal junior wingman Stone Beckwith, one of the most com-plete players in the league, paced the Aggies with 17 points while Mead hit for 14 and Holsworth for 10.

The Lake City JV posted a 46-42 victory in an entertaining, back-and-forth battle with Beal.

Freshman guard Drew Marion deposited a team-high 15 points through the rim to pace the Tro-jans while sophomore forward Daniel Liestenfeltz was lights out from the lane, producing 14 points, and guard Ryan Vincent delivered seven points.

ON TUESDAY, Lake City re-bounded in a big way with a 73-30 victory over visiting non-league rival Harrison. All 12 players scored for the Trojans, who im-proved to 7-2 with the win.

Williams, the Trojan trapeze performer in the paint, hit for 17 points with nine boards and the hardworking Bradley put 16 on the board with eight rebounds. Junior guard Jake Siler turned in solid minutes off the bench at both ends of the floor.

MANTON – The Manton girls followed up the huge Highland Conference victory over state-ranked Pine River on Thursday, Jan. 20, with an efficient 59-12 win over visiting Lake City on Tuesday. The Rangers of coach Danielle Petengill, who have not lost since suffering a league setback at home to McBain in mid-December, pushed their record to 10-1 overall and 6-1 in the conference.

The Bucks came to Manton on Thursday undefeated and ranked sixth in the state. The determined Rangers made sure they didn’t leave Manton with the unbeaten record intact.

Manton trailed 49-47 with less than 15 seconds remaining when senior guard Jalyn Shepler drained a short jumper to tie the score at 49.

Manton girls push to 10-1Pine River had the chance to pull ahead in the closing seconds but had difficulty generating an open look against the Rangers’ suffocating defense and could not connect.

When scrappy Manton junior Ka-tie Thompson grabbed the rebound, she was fouled with just eight-tenths of a second left in regulation. That was enough to make the difference, though, as Thompson nailed the front end of a one-and-one to make it 50-49. A subsequent technical foul gave Manton two more foul shots and junior Rhaeann Shepler calmly hit them both to account for the 52-49 final score.

The high-stakes game had a see-saw feel to it all the way through. The Bucks cruised to an early 10-0 lead, only to have the tenacious Rangers scrap and claw their way back into it. Pine River still led 34-31 after three quarters but junior Emily Bever dialed long distance twice and Jalyn Shepler made the twine dance from downtown once as Manton gained a 40-34 lead in the early minutes of the fourth quarter.

Pine River regained the lead behind the hot hand of sophomore guard Jamie Justin, but Manton responded once again when junior Rhaeann Shepler came through in the clutch, draining a 3-pointer to

put the Rangers on top 47-45 with less than 90 seconds remaining in regulation.

The Bucks scored the next four points to go ahead 49-47 with 30 seconds still to play. Jalyn Shepler did the damage for the Rangers this time, swishing her short jumper to tie matters at 49. Then the resilient Thompson got the rebound and got the foul and got the point that ultimately put the jubilant Rangers over the top.

Senior sharpshooter Hailee Bundy paced the Rangers with 16 points in their biggest win of the campaign and she was joined in double digits by Bever (13) and Rhaeann Shepler (10). Jayln Shepler tallied nine, including the sweet shot that tied the score at the end. Justin scored 13 to lead Pine River and Molly Motzer tallied 12 with eight rebounds.

ON TUESDAY, the vice-like defense of the Rangers was the catalyst for victory over Lake City. Thompson was a tornado under the glass for Manton, gathering 13 rebounds to go with three steals, and Jessie Holmes showed up big inside as well, grabbing 11 boards with four steals.

Hailee stormed the nets, hitting for 19 while Rhaeann rocked the rim for 12 and Bever hit for nine.

consecutive trips to the charity stripe, landing 5-of-6 to push the lead back to safer territory as the game clock tolled down.

The Ramblers, their lead back to double digits, then ran the final sec-onds off the clock to seal the deal, with guards Katimae Bosscher, Kasey Kamphouse and Hamlet maneuvering along the perimeter.

Coach Hamlet wasn’t happy about the fourth-quarter lapse where Pine River rallied to climb back into the game, but other than that he was very pleased.

“It seems like we have a hard time putting 32 minutes together,” he said. “We play well and then we have a lapse late in the game that costs us. Other than that, I thought we did a good job defensively to-night and did the things you have to do to win big games.”

The Ramblers led 16-9 after one quarter and 28-23 at halftime before pulling away in the third quarter, outscoring the visitors 20-9 to take a commanding 48-32 lead into the final stanza.

Hamlet credited senior Sarah Westdorp and junior Brittany Watson for their strong, aggressive play inside and also noted the ef-fort of junior Dani Hoekwater off

the bench.Annemarie Hamlet finished with

a game-high 21 points, including 7-of-10 from the line, and she re-corded eight steals. Westdorp, who puts the “B” in blue collar, battled for 17 points and 13 rebounds while Macy Vanderhoef tallied 10 with six boards and Watson con-nected for 10 points.

Motzer paced Pine River with 16 points and Justin hit for 13.

McBain lost the JV game 46-39 to fall to 9-3 for the season. Freshman Maddie Barnette tamed the twine for 15 points with four rebounds, three assists and four steals. Kara Hughston and Haley Pifer covered the floor like a fresh coat of wax, recording five steals apiece.

McBain’s next big league date is Homecoming on Friday, Feb. 4, against Manton.

MARION – The Northern Mich-igan Christian School girls moved the ball well and created open looks at the basket against host Marion on Tuesday in Highland Conference play. Unfortunately for the Comets, they were not able to get enough shots to fall in a 42-37 defeat.

MANTON – The Northern Michigan Christian School boys parlayed their usual vice-like defense with efficient execution at the offensive end in an impressive 57-32 victory over host Manton on Friday in Highland Conference play.

NMC (6-2, 3-1) held a 47-19 edge in rebounding in the game as they pushed to a 12-3 lead after the first quarter and a 31-10 lead at halftime.

Junior guard Kyle Benthem tamed the twine for 17 points and handled the ball efficiently and fellow guard Josh Rozeveld put 11 points on the board. Junior strong man Zach Pluger was a physical presence inside, pulling down eight rebounds and putting 13 points through the rim.

NMC coach Dale Veddler also credited Bryce TeBos with a strong effort off the bench. Bryce “showed great intensity” while securing four boards and scoring six points.

Veddler also credited the Manton players with showing a lot of character, playing hard for 32 minutes even when the score became lopsided.

“I told Ryan (Hiller) after the game that I thought his kids showed a lot of heart,” Veddler said.

Mike Skiver topped the scoring charts for Manton with 10 points and Dalton Kimbel tallied seven. Hiller also credited Sawyer Seger and Taylor Aldrich with strong play in the second half.

did a pretty good job handling their pressure. We got the shots we wanted but too many of them didn’t go in.”

The Comets, whose post players Heather Dewey and Paige Schoo were both slowed by nagging in-juries but still gamely contributed, gave 32 minutes worth of hard ef-fort once again.

NMC led by four points with two minutes to go but Marion was able to rally at the end.

Smooth-striding junior Jane Pear-son, who is fluid as a waterfall on the floor, turned in typical numbers

for the Comets, scoring 14 with nine rebounds. She also turned in strong minutes at the defensive end. Senior Sarah Dick, who has the intensity dial set at full speed ahead, tallied nine and sophomore Paige Schoo put six on the board in spite of play-ing with a sore calf muscle.

Pearson and sparkplug senior point guard Brooke Veddler both fouled out in the fourth quarter.

Morgan Witbeck scored 18 for the Eagles.

Marion also won the JV game 39-31. Angular sophomore post player Jamie Oudman connected for 15 points to pace the Comets.

On Friday, the Comets dropped a 54-32 decision at home to Evart.

Pearson paced NMC with 14 points and also hauled in 16 re-bounds and Dick delivered six points with 14 rebounds.

MARION – The Lake City girls lost a close 31-24 decision on the road Jan. 20, against Marion.

Senior guard Raychal Billington put nine on the board for the Trojans and senior center Melanie Mazey tallied six and battled hard under the boards. Lake City coach Luke Prielipp also noted the ball handling of junior guard Megan Atkins.

Megan Witbeck paced the Eagles with 11 points.

Lake City captured the JV game 39-17 as Maggie Eising tamed the twine for a team-high 12 points and Makayla Schichtel stood tall in the paint, grabbing 12 boards and scored eight points.

Voices

by Chris Bernard Do you like the smell of gaso-

line?Do you like the smell of freshly

cut grass?Do you like the smell of an In-

dian meal with lots of curry?How ‘bout bacon cooking?My friend Pat loves the smell of

fuel oil. My friend Paul likes the smell of wet leaves.

I like the smell of Old Spice, because my first-ever boyfriend wore it. I will always like it, just like I will always love the feeling of first love…14 years old. And it’s never worn off.

Where do memories and scents take us? How are they intricately tied? Are the smells we love pre-determined from birth?

I don’t think so.Our enigmatic sense of smell is

intimately linked to our emotions. Our fondest memories are stored in the brains’ amygdala, part of the limbic brain that determines and ties emotions to pleasure and pain. So the awesome smell of the ocean, which always makes me close my eyes and often weep, takes me back to childhood days riding the surf and exploring tide-pools at Laguna Beach.

There are reports by doctors of people, male and female, whose sense of smell was lost after either an accident or disease. For the man, Michael, it proved disas-

Food for thought

Got a whiff?trous. He had been an epicurean individual, whose life relied heav-ily on his senses. Michael was not simply aware of scents; he depended on them to intoxicate and transport him.

Without a sense of smell, his life became dark and dull, and the darkness grew larger and ever more enshrouding with the pass-ing of time. For someone who took pleasure so seriously and couldn’t any longer indulge in one of its primary vehicles, it was like being a drug addict who lost the high from heroin – never able to regain that high but constantly seeking it. Desperation finally got to him, and he committed suicide.

So if smell and emotion are so tied, can we smell emotions? Are you afraid of dogs, for example? If so, have you noticed that when you’re around them, a so-called friendly pet has an uncanny ten-dency to single you out – because you’re so tormented? Or maybe after being cajoled into horseback riding against your leanings, YOUR horse, of all of them, rears up and tries to jump the fence?

If these strike a chord, then you know that many animals seem to be able to detect our anxieties. So what is it, really, that they sense when they exploit our vulner-abilities?

Ah, they are smelling your fear.

The sweat on your tracksuit after a three-mile run is mainly water, but when you are nervously waiting for medical test results, the sweat under your arms and elsewhere reflects the secretion of glands regulated by our ner-vous system – and hence, your emotional states. This is a more pungent sweat than that from ex-ercise and has that characteristic odor…you know. Like dogs and horses, we recognize it too.

It’s a fairly complicated pro-cess, that of translation between a chemical in our nose and a smell percept in our olfactory bulbs, but the more profound question exists in the HOW connection: how the pattern of activity iny our physical olfactory bulbs becomes psychologically organized, pro-cessed, interpreted and recognized by you.

Say you’re walking past a

bakery with an open door. The croissants have just been baked, and you get a whiff. If you love croissants, you will be motivated to stop and savor the smell, maybe even go in and buy one. Hedo-nists all, we seek pleasure.

But what we think a certain scent is, its connection to lan-guage and concept, what that scent means to us, what it makes us feel, and what it reminds us of from the past – ALL interact in a very complex, multifaceted dance. These, then, determine our PERCEPTION of that smell.

I, for one, detest the smell of gasoline. I ran out of gas too many times, the fuel smell lingering on hands, clothes and memory, for it to have pleasant associations. In-stead, I remember frigid tempera-tures, aching feet from walking to the “nearest” gas station, etc.

You get the picture.

Odor sensation exists in our bodies, but olfactory perception occurs in our mind.

If you like the smell of skunk, maybe your favorite grandma took you out in the springtime woods, where a whiff of skunk lingered for a moment…

And thewinner is…

Lake City’s Frank Musselman was the first person to correctly guess last week’s “Who am I?” Though at work when nine o’clock rolled around, he had his Mother, Norma Musselman, call. Norma was on the road in California at the time. The correct answer was Marty Jankoski, owner of Marty’s Pizza and Grill in Lake City.

See next week’s Sentinel for another “Who am I?”


ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, a change is coming and right now it is difficult to tell if it will end up being a positive. Brace for what lies ahead regardless of the outcome.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, saying goodbye to someone you love will be difficult, but some-how you will manage it. Make a plan to visit this person soon to take the edge off the feelings.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, steer clear of stores be-cause you simply do not have the finances to purchase anything extravagant right now. Stick to your budget.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Have patience with someone you deal with on a daily basis, Cancer. This person has a lot on his or her plate and could use some wiggle room in the next few days.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, colleagues are questioning whether or not you’re the right person for the tasks at hand. They underestimate your abilities. Show them differently this week.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, look at a situation through someone else’s eyes and it could shed new light on the situation you’re in. Things may not be as bad as you thought.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, you are looking for an adven-ture and it’s just around the corner. Take Cancer on this trip of a lifetime when you do depart. You will want the company.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, there’s much to be done, but the only place to begin is at the beginning. Begin with one task and

move on from there. Soon the to-do list will be finished.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, it’s easy to make as-sumptions when you don’t have all of the facts. But this can easily get you into trouble. Verify the informa-tion first.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, you should be happy this week, but all you feel like doing is moping around. This somber mood can be transformed with a visit from a friend.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, although it doesn’t seem like things are getting accomplished, there are really many items getting finished that may be behind the scenes.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20A night out at the movies could be just what you need to unwind, Pi-sces. Make it a friendly get-together instead of romantic night out.
