Top Choice Girl Hoop
Po"er Lif!ing
By Mike Dunn
GAYLORD Two of the top
players in the region, one
known for her scoring
prowess and the other for her
dogged two-way play, share
the Player of the Year honors
this year on the Top Choice
All-Area Girls Basketball
Team.
Seniors Mackenzie
Edwards of Gaylord and
Kelsey Ance of Petoskey beat
out a very tough, talented
field of Player of the Year can-
didates. Ironically, Mac and
Kelsey will also be team-
mates next year at Lake
Superior State University.
The 2013 Top Choice
Dream Team also includes
1,000-point scorers Abby
Schlicher of Johannesburg-
Lewiston, Courtney Wallis of
Mackinaw City and Kari
Borowiak of Gaylord St. Mary
along with Ances teammate,
the rangy, rugged 6-foot-3
senior center Megan
Tompkins of Petoskey.
Frank Hamilla, who guided
Gaylord to its first-ever Class
A district title, is the Coach of
the Year. Hamilla, with
starters Mackenzie Edwards
and Maddie Hamilla both
sidelined with injuries early
on, watched his team strug-
gle in the first half of the sea-
son, winning just four of the
first 11 games. The Blue
Devils bounced back to win
nine of their next 12, howev-
er, ultimately earning a berth
in the regional tournament
and finishing with a 13-10
record.
Mac, the Blue Devils lethal
lefty, came back with a
vengeance from the wrist
injury that sidelined her
through much of December
to help lead her team during
a remarkable second-half
comeback that culminated in
a magical postseason run
that featured victories over
Sault Ste. Marie, Traverse City
Central and Traverse City
West. The win over the Titans
on their home floor gave
Gaylord its first district title
since 1995.
Mac, who could dial in
from downtown all night
long or penetrate through
the paint like a honed knife
through Jell-o, became just
the third player in the history
of Gaylord girls basketball to
surpass 1,000 points, joining
all-time scorer Shanna Pratt
and also Macs former coach
and mentor, Kelli (Krajniak)
Parker.
Ance capped a brilliant
four-year varsity career with
her strong, steady play, earn-
ing first-team All-Conference
recognition as well as honor-
able mention All-State in
Class A. She finished just
three points shy of reaching
1,000 points for her career
and was a force inside for the
Northmen as well, battling
with ferocity under the glass
for rebounds and loose balls.
Kelsey was also a top-notch
ball handler for coach Adam
Dobrowolski and a stubborn,
leech-like defender.
Ance and teammate
Tompkins were a formidable
1-2 punch for Petoskey at
both ends of the floor. The
pair helped Petoskey post a
17-2 regular-season record
and go 11-1 in the Big North
while securing the league
title for the third time in four
years. Before narrowly losing
to Marquette in the opening
round of the Class A district
tournament, the Northmen
had earned 14 straight wins.
Schlicher, Wallis and
Borowiak helped each of
their teams achieve strong
success this season.
Schlicher was the catalyst as
J-L earned a share of the Ski
Valley title with St. Mary and
secured a Class C district
championship at home while
posting a 22-2 record.
Wallis, who was named
Class D honorable mention
All-State, helped the Comets
to go undefeated in league
play and repeat as Northern
Lakes Conference champs.
Borowiak, a lightning
strike waiting to happen with
the ball in her capable hands,
helped St. Mary earn a share
of the Ski Valley with
Johannesburg and repeat as
district and regional champs
before losing a tense heart-
breaker to Climax-Scotts in
the Class D quarterfinals.
Joining Hamilla on the
2013 Top Choice coaching
staff are Dan Smith of St.
Mary, Heather Huff of
Johannesburg-Lewi ston,
Adam Dobrowolski of
Petoskey and Adam Stefanski
of Mack City.
Earning second-team Top
Choice honors are senior
guard Chrissy Smith of St.
Mary, senior forward Alex
Simmons of Gaylord, senior
guard Alyssa VanWerden of
Petoskey, junior forward
Brittany Cherwinski of J-L,
senior wing Sandy Bischoff of
Inland Lakes, and sparkplug
sophomore guard Brooke
Hancock of Cheboygan.
By Mike Dunn
ONAWAY After taking
third overall as a sophomore
and sixth last year as a junior
in the state power-lifting
competition, Emily Estep of
Onaway set her sights even
higher for her senior season.
With invaluable guidance
and coaching from Earl
Flynn, Emily was as prepared
as possible when she partici-
pated in the power lifting
championships on Saturday,
March 9, at Traverse City
West.
The results speak for them-
selves.
Emmy won the individual
state title for Onaway in the
132-pound weight class. The
Cardinals determined Brick
Mouse amassed a whopping
total of 635 pounds in the
dead lift, bench lift and
squat. That was a marked
improvement of 65 pounds
from the total of 570 pounds
the year before. Emmy didnt
just break through the ceiling
of her previous best show-
ings; she shattered the roof!
Emmy just kicked butt
this year, Flynn said proudly.
No one was more deserv-
ing.
Onaway Athletic Director
Marty Mix, who also happens
to be Emmys uncle and her
coach in cross country, bas-
ketball and track, couldnt
agree more.
Emmy is blessed with a lot
of God-given ability in sever-
al sports but shes taken that
gift and really dedicated her-
self to perform at her
absolute best, Mix said. No
matter what the sport is, she
outworks everybody. Shes a
fierce competitor and one of
the elite scholar-athletes ever
to come through our school.
The remarkable thing that
separates Emmy is her desire
and her drive, he added.
She doesnt take a second
seat to anybody for anything.
Shes fearless. What she
accomplished in power lift-
ing this year is just another
example.
Flynn said Emmy used the
disappointing sixth-place
finish of the year before as a
powerful motivator for this
years championship meet.
Last year she was pretty
upset; she realized what lifts
she needed to improve on
and she put the work in to get
better, he reported. We put
her on a special workout reg-
imen and she dedicated her-
self to it. Shes always been a
strong kid and very coach-
able.
Flynn said the biggest area
where Emmy needed to
improve was the dead lift.
She went from a 230-pound
dead lift last year to a
Herculean 275-pound dead
lift this time around.
A lot of it is a mental
thing, Flynn said. Kids hit a
plateau and mentally they
just freeze themselves. Once
Emmy got over the hump,
she became more confident
and she believed in what she
could do. You could see that
clearly at Traverse City.
Emmy, the daughter of
Dean and Joey Estep of
Onaway whose twin sister
Megan is a very accom-
plished multi-sport athlete in
her own right, agrees.
I was a little afraid, she
acknowledged. I knew what
I had to do but was scared to
do it. I always knew I had the
strength to lift that weight
but didnt know how to get
myself out there to do it. I
needed to trust in myself and
Mr. Flynn really helped me to
be ready mentally and physi-
cally.
I made up my mind to lay
it all out there (in the state
meet), she added. This was
my senior year and my last
chance and I didnt want to
blow it.
Emmy and Flynn set 635
pounds as the target weight
for this year, since that was
the weight that had secured
the state title at 132 pounds
the previous two years.
Emmy reached her goal,
successfully lifting 275
pounds in the dead lift, 230
in the squad and 130 in the
bench in the state competi-
tion.
And that weight did prove
to be enough for the state
title. The problem was that
neither Emmy nor Flynn
knew for sure if it was
enough until all the results
were tabulated after the
meet. And that took about
three hours!
It was awful, Emmy said
with a laugh. I had an idea
that I would win but it was a
very long wait. I walked
around a lot to relieve the
stress.
Learning that she had won
the state title was a relief and
a thrill at the same time.
It felt really good, she
said. It was a very humbling
experience to be able to do
something you really worked
hard for. There were so many
other girls there and they
were all really strong. I just
felt really lucky to be there
and to be able to compete at
that level and to have such a
good coach.
Emmy thanked Flynn for
all the ways he helped her
since she became part of his
weight training and fitness
class while she was a fresh-
man. Flynn worked closely
with Estep and helped her
develop her technique over
the past four years and he
helped her focus on the
things she needed to improve
and to set individual goals
that ultimately led to the
state title.
One thing about Mr.
Flynn, hes one of those peo-
ple you never want to disap-
point, Emmy said. Hes an
excellent coach and an excel-
lent role model as a person.
Hes a great man, a great
father and a father figure to a
lot of these kids, Mix added.
Onaway is very, very fortu-
nate to have him.
Emmys state champi-
onship in power lifting is
actually the fourth for an
Onaway athlete. Heather
Hoffmeyer, Sam Brasseur
and Taylor Watson also won
state titles in power lifting
under Flynns guidance.
Emmys state title in power
lifting adds more laurels to
the growing legion of
achievements that she has
accumulated through her
years at Onaway and contin-
ues to accumulate.
Emmy, who has signed her
letter of intent to play softball
at Lake Superior State
University next year, is
already a two-time first-team
All-State performer for the
Cardinals in that sport as she
goes into her senior season
this spring. She is the reign-
ing two-time Top Choice
Player of the Year as well, in
addition to a mountain of
other honors. Emmy, known
as Emmy Sizzle for the
speed and accuracy of her
lethal deliveries from the cir-
cle, helped Onaway to the
state finals as a sophomore.
Emmy has also been
named third-team All-State
in volleyball two straight
years. She is a nine-time state
qualifier in track and a three-
time state qualifier in cross
country. She is a three-time
All-Conference player in bas-
ketball for coach Mix as well
as All-Region. She started all
67 games of her varsity hard-
wood career at point guard.
And you might say she
does fairly well in the class-
room, too.
Emmy and her twin sister
Megan are co-valedictorians
along with Kallie Shimel and
Cassidy Hyde. All of them
own a 4.0 GPA.
Emmy has absolutely
exemplified everything it
means to be a true team
player and a true scholar-
athlete, Mix said. Shes the
most fierce team leader Ive
ever seen in any sport and
the most coachable kid Ive
had. When you think of the
elites of the school, girls like
Allie Jo (Nave) and Megan
Murphy, Emmy ranks right
up there with the elite of the
elite. She has a great, great
future ahead of her.
Ance, Edwards lead the way
Onaways Estep is state champ!

Amazing Cardinal senior is state power-lifting champ
in her weight class after finishing sixth last year
High-scoring Thunderbolt forward is only player from Weekly
Choice coverage area to achieve All-State this year
MIO Congratulations are
in order for Mios rawhide-
tough senior forward Micah
Thomey. He is the only player
from the coverage area of the
Weekly Choice to earn All-
State recognition in boys bas-
ketball this year.
Micah, along with younger
brother Seth Thomey and
freshman post phenom Big
Ben Lubitz, helped the
Thunderbolts of coach
Dennis Kann post an out-
standing 19-1 regular-season
mark and secure the North
Star League title in dominant
fashion, going undefeated.
The Thunderbolts also blast-
ed their way to a Class D dis-
trict title on the home floor,
earning a berth in the region-
al tournament.
Mios season ended with a
super 21-2 mark with a loss
to perennial hardwood
power Beal City in the open-
ing round of the region.
Micah, a four-year varsity
starter, surpassed the 1,000-
point scoring plateau this
season, an accomplishment
that is even more significant
considering how the
Thunderbolts distribute the
ball around and dont
depend on any one scorer.
Micah was far more than
just a scorer, though. He also
played tenacious, suffocating
defense, made pinpoint
passes and had a way of mak-
ing everyone around him on
the floor a better player.

GAYLORD The national-
ly-acclaimed Gaylord St.
Mary archery team just
missed repeating as state
champions in the National
Archery in Schools Program
(NASP) state championship
held last Saturday, March 16.
St. Mary, under the tute-
lage of longtime coach Mike
Lawnichak, was edged by
Hartland by a mere 34 points.
The Snowbirds shot their way
to 3,389 points but Hartland
finished with 3,423. St. Mary
amassed an incredible 203
bulls-eyes and Hartland was
just a blink sharper, acquir-
ing 208 bulls-eyes.
It is the fifth year in a row
that the Snowbirds of coach
Lawnichak have finished
either first or second in the
state. The Snowbirds have
won the NASP state champi-
onship three times.
The Gaylord-based
Christian Homeschoolers of
Northern Michigan, also a
perennial state and national
power in the sport, came in
third behind Hartland and St.
Mary this year with 3,244
points. Fourth-place Grand
Ledge accumulated 3,195
points.
St. Mary junior Caylee
Lawnichak was nothing short
of awesome in her individual
performance. The straight-
shooting, surgically-sharp
Snowbird archer was cool as
an icicle in the clutch, rack-
ing up 292 points out of a
possible 300 while hitting a
whopping 22 bulls-eyes.
That was good enough for
the NASP girls individual
state title.
Teammate CiCi Becker was
also brilliant, taking sixth
with 280 points in the high-
stakes atmosphere.
Freshman Bekah Myler, who
is also a pretty fair varsity
basketball player, took 10th
place overall and fellow
freshman Giorgi Nowicki
came in 18th.
For the St. Mary boys,
sophomore Jack Lochinski
was locked in like a laser, tak-
ing third place overall with
290 points and 23 bulls-eyes.
Freshman Levi Milan accu-
mulated 288 points to take
eighth place in the state and
Orion Benigno was just a
point behind. His 287 points
was good for ninth place.
Anastasia Bragg of Central
Lake was simply outstanding
for the Christian
Homeschoolers. Anastasia,
whose name is up there every
year in the state and national
tournaments, was runner-up
in the state behind Caylee
Lawnichak. Anastasia made
289 points with a sparkling
21 bulls-eyes.
The NASP National
Tournament is set for May 10
in Louisville, Ky.

GAYLORD The cream
rose to the top once again in
girls basketball in the Big
North Conference this past
season.
To no ones surprise,
future Lake Superior State
University teammates
Mackenzie Edwards of
Gaylord and Kelsey Ance of
Petoskey were both named
to the first-team roster of the
2013 Big North All-
Conference squad.
Long-armed Petoskey
senior center Megan
Tompkins also made the
grade after a dominating
year under the glass. Mac,
Kelsey and Megan were
joined by super sophomore
Katie Placek of T.C. West and
senior Christina Kallien of
Alpena on the first team.
Hardworking senior for-
ward Alex Simmons of
Gaylord and senior defen-
sive stopper Alyssa
VanWerden of Petoskey were
second-team picks.
Perpetual motion senior
point guard Sarah Polena
earned honorable mention
for the Blue Devils and sen-
ior guard Liz Fraser was
honorable mention for the
Northmen.
CHEBOYGAN Smooth-
striding, fluid-flowing
Cheboygan junior guard
Ben Petroleum Pearson
has earned first-team hon-
ors on the 2013 All-Straits
Area Conference squad.
Cheboygan senior point
guard Damon Proctor was a
second-team pick and two-
way warrior Jordan
Fontaine, also a senior, was
honorable mention.
The productive Pearson
poured in 12 points a game
and averaged seven boards
and 2.8 steals for the Chiefs
of coach Kevin Baller, who
finished 10-10 overall and 7-
3 in the league. Pearson was
also a solid ball handler as
well as a suffocating defend-
er.
Proctor, who didnt play at
all as a junior because of his
knee injury, came back
strong in his senior season,
engineering the Chiefs var-
ied offensive attack while
averaging six points and
four boards to go with 2.3
assists.
Fontaine fired in nine
points a game with four
boards and two assists.
Ray'Shon Anderson of
Sault Ste. Marie and Curtis
St. Louis of St. Ignace were
named as Co-Players of the
Year.

SAGINAW The Gaylord
boys and girls track teams
traveled south to take part in
the annual Saginaw Valley
State University Indoor
Invitational on Wednesday,
March 20. The Blue Devils
were part of a large field fea-
turing 16 Div. 1 teams and 10
Div. 2 teams.
Gaylord senior Alanna
Johnston was among the ath-
letes who shined for Gaylord
in the early meet.
Alanna captured fourth
place in the in the high jump,
clearing the bar at 4-foot-10,
and she joined forces with
fleet-footed teammates
Katelynn Dreyer, Erin
Borgeson and Lightning
Lylan Dao to earn runner-up
in the highly competitive
1600-meter relay. Allana ran
the anchor leg of the relay
and recorded a flying time of
63.3 seconds in her 400-
meter split, which proved to
be the fastest split of any run-
ner at that distance in the
entire meet.
Also for the girls, strong-
armed senior Allison Fischer
flung the shot put a hearty
distance of 33 feet, 5 inches
to take fourth place in that
event. Allisons Herculean
heave was just 2 feet shy of
her career best distance.
For the Gaylord boys, sen-
ior Nate Fischer cruised to a
fourth-place time of 53.8 sec-
onds in the 400 dash and
Collin Watters poured his
energies into an eighth-place
time of 55.7 seconds.
Watters and Fischer
teamed with James Dunn
and Jake Henley to take ninth
in the 1600 relay.
Josh Wohlfeil, Ian Rudel,
Cam Taylor and Watters sped
to a 10th-place time in the
800 relay.
Strong-striding senior
Charlend Howard closed
strong to earn a solid time of
4:50 in the 1600-meter run.
Gaylord competed on
Wednesday, March 27, in an
indoor meet at Central
Michigan University.

BIG NORTH CONFERENCE
2013 HOCKEY
The book is hardly closed
for a quartet of former
Northern Michigan basket-
ball standouts as each strives
to carve out a legacy on the
college hardwood.
But no matter what hap-
pens over the next two or
three years, each has a spe-
cial memory, the result of a
rare experience that each
had this season.
Petoskeys Kerby Tamm
and Cory Starkey along with
Central Lakes Jasmine Hines
are at the midway point of
their respective careers,
while Pellston graduate
Christopher Hass just com-
pleted his freshmen year.
All four have something in
common, besides the fact
they are playing NCAA
Division I basketball. They
each got a taste of March
Madness this season from a
perspective very few ever do.
Each came closer to that One
Shining Moment than most
of us ever will.
Starkey and Hass were
members of the Bucknell
University mens basketball
team that bowed to Butler,
68-56, in its NCAA
Tournament opener; Tamm
is a member of the Central
Michigan womens team that
fell in its NCAA Tourney
opener to Oklahoma, 78-73;
and Hines is a member of the
Michigan State womens
team that was eliminated
from the tournament on
Monday by Maryland, 74-49.
Tamm, a sophomore, is
part of a resurgent CMU
womens team that won the
Mid-American Conference
tournament, giving the
Chippewas their first NCAA
berth since 1984.
Central finished 21-12, and
returns six of its top nine
players including Tamm
and leading scorer Crystal
Bradford who averaged at
least 12 minutes per game
this season.
And while Tamm spent a
good portion of the season in
Coach Sue Guveras rota-
tion basketball parlance
for the regulars, those players
who either start or come off
the bench and play with the
games outcome still in the
balance she saw her playing
time diminish through tour-
nament play.
She did not play in the
Chippewas loss to
Oklahoma.
Tamm, a sharpshooting
sophomore guard and a two-
time All-Stater at Petoskey,
drew 10 starts this season.
But she said she refused to
be discouraged by her lack of
late-season playing time, and
instead maintained a solid
team-first attitude.
She said she was as thrilled
as anybody to get an oppor-
tunity to dress for an NCAA
Tournament game.
Every night I come ready
to play, said Tamm, who
made 30 of her 72 3-point
attempts this season and
averaged 3.4 points per
game. You just have to have
a good mindset. On every
team, everyone has a role. Its
just accepting your role and
embracing your role.
Im just really happy to be
a part of it, going to the NCAA
Tournament.
Neither Starkey nor Hass
appeared in Bucknells loss to
Butler, but they, like Tamm,
said the experience of win-
ning a league championship
-- in the case of the Bison, the
Patriot League -- and punch-
ing their ticket to the Big
Dance left an indelible mark.
The experience of cutting
down the nets and celebrat-
ing with the team was phe-
nomenal, Starkey said. It
was definitely a great experi-
ence, a memorable experi-
ence.
Starkey and Tamm, both
sophomores, had a unique
perspective, one that made
the success of their respec-
tive 2012-13 teams all the
more sweeter.
Both were freshmen last
season, when the Bison men
and Chippewa women both
came within a whisker of
making it to their respective
NCAA Tournaments.
As it was, both lost in their
respective league tourna-
ment championship games.
The Central women lost to
Eastern Michigan, 72-71,
when the Eagles scored the
game-winning bucket with
under 2 seconds left; the
Bucknell men fell to Lehigh,
82-77, in the Patriot League
title game and settled for a
berth in the National
Invitation Tournament.
Last year we were just a
couple of possessions away
and it was a huge letdown,
Starkey said. I think we
learned a lot. To get over the
hump this year is just a
dream come true when we
finally won it and knew we
were going to the tourna-
ment.
Last year we were in a
similar situation, Tamm
said. We were excited to be
back at the MAC tournament
and really had a mindset of
taking home the champi-
onship because we got so
close last year.
We were 1.5 seconds away
from a championship (and
NCAA berth) and that really
motivated us to play well and
come to play every game all
season. That really helped in
the MAC tournament, having
the experience from the pre-
vious year.
While neither Starkey or
Hass is among Bucknells
top-line players, each has
become entrenched in the
program as a scholarship
player, patiently biding their
time and waiting their turn in
a program that has devel-
oped into a Patriot League
power.
Its special to be here and
be in the tournament,
Starkey said before the Bison
fell to Butler. When you
think that most college play-
ers are done at this point in
the season and were still
playing and even if Im not
getting major minutes, it
means something. Its defi-
nitely special to me.
The Bison finished 28-6
this season and were 25-10 a
year ago. The Patriot League
is comprised of strong aca-
demic institutions and it
compares favorably to the Ivy
League, both in scope and
philosophy.
In short, the basketball
programs in the Patriot
League and Bucknell is per-
haps the poster child are
filled, top to bottom, with
legitimate student-athletes
with the emphasis on stu-
dent first and foremost.
Its a wait-your-turn
proposition for most under-
classmen, Starkey and Hass
included.
The whole campus has
just been great about it,
Hass said of the atmosphere
surrounding the team and its
success. Its really a close-
knit campus. Everyone in
town knows who you are and
stuff, so you walk around
town and everyone is con-
gratulating you. Im on cloud
nine.
Just to be a part of a team
thats going to the tourna-
ment, its been my dream.
Ever since I could fill out a
bracket, I guess.
Both Starkey and Hass fig-
ure to see increased playing
time as early as next season,
when the 6-foot-7 Starkey
will be a junior and Hass a
sophomore. The Bison were
senior-laden this season, and
among those graduating are
6-11 Mike Muscala, who is
very likely headed to the
NBA.
The next step for both
Northern Michigan legends
is to make their way into the
rotation at Bucknell.
Its definitely been a let-
down, but it is what it is and
there are really good players
ahead of me, Starkey said in
regards to his playing time.
Obviously theyre really
good because of the out-
comes of last two seasons. I
learn from them, and they
push me in practice and I
know Ive been getting a lot
better. Ive been putting in a
lot more time because I know
I have to. Ive been focused
on getting in the gym as
much as I can and improving
on the things I need to.
Its tough because every-
body coming in wants to play
right away and contribute
and its definitely a shock
when its not that way. But
playing behind a guy whos
going to be playing in the
NBA and another guy whos
probably going to be playing
professionally somewhere,
its about competing with
them every day and learning
from them. Theyve had a lot
of experience.
Youve just got to contin-
ue to fight. You cant back
down because if you relax for
a second they can take
advantage of you.
Starkey said his sense is
that he will move up on the
depth chart beginning next
season, provided, of course,
he continues to make strides.
I really do believe that,
he said. Ive put in my time.
A lot of people have to put
time in and not play a lot and
learn from the people ahead
of them, and I feel like Ive
done that.
I feel like my time is just
right around the corner. I feel
like Ive been real close to
breaking into the lineup. Im
really positive about the next
two years.
Hass is in a similar situa-
tion in that he backed up
shooting guard Bryson
Johnson, a senior who was
the top 3-point shooter in the
Patriot League this season,
knocking down 40 percent of
his triple tries.
Hass is regularly assigned
to guard Johnson in practice.
College is so much more
physical (than high school),
Hass said, and me being the
6-4, 6-5 string bean that I am,
Ive been working in the
weight room a lot more than
I thought I would.
Its paid off. Hass said he
now weighs 181 pounds, 16
more than when he graduat-
ed from Pellston in 2012 as
the Associated Press Class D
player of the year and as the
third all-time leading scorer
in Michigan high school his-
tory with 2,522 points.
Still, a year as a backup at
Bucknell has taught Hass
that he has plenty of strides
to make, particularly on
defense, which is a Bison
calling card.
It makes me realize that,
Wow, Ive got a lot to work
on, he said. Its really rekin-
dled my fire for basketball.
In high school, especially
in Class D, you could get
away with some stuff. I can
definitely tell that my
defense has picked up. The
coaches have noticed it, and
thats a good sign. I definitely
want to be in the rotation. I
feel like I can (be). Ive just
got to work hard, which I
plan to do. I dont see it as
a goal that I cant achieve.
Hines, a 6-3 sophomore,
scored six points in the
Spartan womens season-
ending loss on Monday to
Maryland.
She appeared in 33 of
MSUs 34 games this season,
drawing five starts. She aver-
aged 7.6 points and 4.7
rebounds per game in 17.6
minutes.
MSU finished 25-9. As
freshman last season, Hines
averaged 5.1 points and 2.5
rebounds while shooting a
team-best 54.2 percent from
the field.
Hines enjoyed a sensation-
al career at Central Lake,
where she was a four-time
All-Stater and became the
states leading scorer with
3,034 points and rebounder,
1,692.
She was named a Parade
High School All-American,
the states Miss Basketball,
and the Associated Press
Class D Player of the Year in
her senior year, 2010-11.

SUV buyers who want traditional Jeep
styling with best-in-class off-road capa-
bility at an affordable price. Patriot offers
consumers segment-leading 4x4 capabil-
ity and excellent fuel efficiency along
with rugged exterior styling and clever
interior features.
Jeep Patriot delivers best-in-class 4x4
capability with an iconic Jeep design,
said Mike Manley, President and CEO
Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. With a
new six-speed automatic transmission
for 2014, Patriot features improved on-
road driving dynamics without sacrific-
ing any of its best-in-class off-road capa-
bility. Best of all: Jeep Patriot is still the
best-priced SUV in America.
Packed with standard features that
provide value and convenience for driv-
ers and passengers, the 2014 Jeep Patriot
standard features include: front seat-
mounted side air bags, electronic stabili-
ty control, electronic roll mitigation,
Hill-start Assist, anti-lock brakes, illumi-
nated cup holders, sunscreen glass, fog
lamps, removable/ rechargeable flash-
light, outside temperature display, rear
fold-flat 60/40 folding seat, rear window
defrost and wiper, tilt steering column,
cruise control and sliding visors with
mirror.
In addition to the standard features,
the 2014 Jeep Patriot offers an array of
clever features consumers will appreci-
ate whether commuting to work, explor-
ing out-of-the-way places or driving in
challenging weather conditions. A
Uconnect Media Center with iPod inter-
face, SiriusXM Radio, navigation with
SiriusXM Travel Link, power sunroof, a
premium audio system with nine Boston
Acoustic speakers, articulating liftgate
speakers, and fold-flat rear seats are
some of the available features that make
the 2014 Jeep Patriot the perfect com-
pact SUV, enabling drivers and passen-
gers to enjoy any adventure.
Available for the first time in most
2014 Jeep Patriot models is the world-
class 6F24 six-speed automatic transmis-
sion. Independently developed by
PowerTech and refined for application in
the 2014 Jeep Patriot, the six-speed auto-
matic is fully electronic and designed for
fuel efficiency and improved perform-
ance. Compact and lightweight, the 6F24
eliminated many potential extra engi-
neering efforts from a packaging stand-
point with the chassis layout.
The new six-speed transmission also
helps reduce cost of ownership and
maintenance costs with its fill-for-life
design. There is no transmission dip-
stick, and transmission filter or fluid
changes are not required under normal
driving conditions. Low-viscosity fluid is
used to improve fuel economy by
enabling quicker operating temperatures
on the transmission to reduce drag on
internal components.
The 2014 Jeep Patriots powertrain is
designed to deliver world-class perform-
ance in all weather conditions, with
exceptional fuel economy and refine-
ment, all at an affordable, value-packed
price.
Built in the United States at the
Belvidere Assembly Plant in Belvidere,
Ill., 2014 Jeep Patriot models will begin
arriving in dealer showrooms in the sec-
ond quarter 2013.

Signs that
you're ready
to buy
Six tips that
tell you it's
time
Compliments of Ed
Wohlfiel
Figuring out whether you're ready
to buy a house -- whether you're a
renter or are aiming to move up or
size down -- can be a daunting task.
But there are signs that will indicate
whether you're ready to take the
buying plunge.
If you are thinking about buying,
you're not alone. So are you ready to
make the move? You might be if you:
1. Are familiar with the market. If
you've been paying attention to how
much houses are listed for in the
neighborhoods you're eyeing and
have a realistic view of how much a
house will cost you, you're in good
shape. But if you're dreaming about
that big corner house with no clue
about it's asking price, you may
want to spend some more time
becoming familiar with the market
and how much houses are going for.
2. Have the money for a down
payment and closing costs. The
down payment is a percentage of the
value of the property. Freddie Mac
says the percentage will be deter-
mined by the type of mortgage you
select. Down payments usually
range from 3 to 20 percent of the
property value. Also, you may be
required to have Private Mortgage
Insurance (PMI or MI) if your down
payment is less than 20 percent.
Closing costs include points, taxes,
title insurance, financing costs and
items that must be prepaid or
escrowed and other settlement
costs. You can expect to pay between
from 2 to 7 percent of the property
value. Generally, buyers will receive
an estimate of these costs from your
lender after you apply for a mort-
gage.
3. Know how much you can
afford. Freddie Mac says that as a
general guide, your monthly mort-
gage payment should be less than or
equal to a percentage of your
income, usually about a quarter of
your gross monthly income. Also,
your income, debt and credit history
go into determining how much you
can borrow. As a general rule, your
debt -credit card bills, car loans,
housing expenses, alimony and
child support -- should not be more
than about 30 to 40 percent of your
gross income.
4. Know what additional expenses
will come with owning a home. This
includes homeowners insurance,
utility bills, maintenance costs --
roofing, plumbing, heating and
cooling.
5. Have your credit in good shape
and make sure your credit report is
accurate. Potential lenders will view
your credit history -- how much
debt you've accrued, how many
accounts you have open, whether
your payments are made on time,
etc. -- to determine whether they'll
give you a loan. You should get a
report from each of the credit
reporting companies.
6. You haven't made any recent
major purchases, particularly a vehi-
cle. If you do, you may have a harder
time getting a loan -- or it could
potentially lower the amount you'll
be approved for.
