PETOSKEY, MI – The Bay College Women's Basketball Team (13-3, 2-0 MCCAA) scored early and often to put the game away and cruise to a 95-35 victory over the North Central Michigan College Timberwolves (2-12, 0-2 MCCAA).

Any snow remaining is in drifts amongst the slush ruts or towards the top of the bay. There is a chance for a dusting of snow over the next couple of days. A couple of inches would be great for insulating fish shacks when next week’s polar vortex moves into town. It looks like ideal weather conditions for the weekend. Ice is getting thicker by the day, with the exception of shallows and areas with currents. Even though it’s below freezing, an inch or more of ...
