Online Snowboard Shops
05 Jun, 2008
A couple years ago for snowboard.com I helped put together a comprehensive list of online snowboard shops that people could purchase gear from and hear other member's feedback. I posted that list down below.
The three shops that I consistently purchase from are Evo, Dogfunk/Backcountry, and Wave Rave. Each of them I've encountered great service, good selection and good prices. Occasionally I'll purchase from other snowboard shops including those in my hometown of Steamboat Springs like Powdertools and Powder Pursuits (best to visit in person, but not a big online store)
Depending what you are purchasing, the return policy is very important. If a shop gives you store credit, but does not offer a refund for something they don't have in stock…that is a poor return policy. So be aware of other consumer reviews and choose your online shops wisely. Tightboards is in the middle of this problem and there are many complaints on the internet about them not fulfilling what's in stock, not offering a refund and quite frankly…lacking customer service.
In this day and age, you can always find a shop willing to give you free shipping for purchases over a certain amount. Even subscribing to snowboard shop newsletters will get you discounts and deals not announced to the public. Tactics is really good at offering discounts to it's newsletter readers. Sierrasnowboard offers daily giveaways and other special offers that are good to take advantage of.
It does come down to supporting your shops. I am a huge supporter of Evo in Seattle since I used to visit the shop, know some of the staff and like the selection. They are generally the first shop I check out when making purchases. If there's a price difference from them to another shop that I've never ordered with or heard about…I'll take Evo knowing that I'll get the product with less hassles. Sometimes it's not worth taking the risk over a couple bucks. Dogfunk has always been very good to me, good selection and quick delivery. Wave Rave I purchased my Burton luggage from when they offered a 50% off deal. They called me right away when they found out that the luggage was sold seconds before I bought it. Then when the order got cancelled by that person they called me again to see if I was still interested. That's good customer service and they retained me as a customer.
Find a shop that treats you well as a customer. Sometimes the best deals are not worth the hidden agendas or problems you might discover.

"I also just had an awesome experience with Skyehigh. I dealt with them through their ebay store where I was able to get the 686 smarty complete pants and jacket for the lowest price on the internet… they actually had it in stock. Had to return it once because of size, no problem getting the second one, he even shipped it before he had the original back so that I could be all set up for opening day. Then the second one came missing the base layer so he immediately sent out one with a free skyehigh t-shirt.

"Tightboards.com was killer last year. They're super shitty this year. I think their sales are growing, but they've done nothing to compensate for the extra business, so the quantity is up and the quality is way down. I ordered a DVD last week, but never got confirmation e-mail. I checked my credit card and apparently the order was never placed (even though I was taken to the "your order has been successfully submitted" page). Maybe their website is busted, too? I've tried phoning repeatedly (both their 888 number and their long distance/local number). I only get a busy signal. They don't reply to their e-mails either. Absolute night and day compared to last season's customer service. Arild has far worse horror stories to tell of them this season. Avoid tightboards.com at all costs. " 66 12/21/2006
"Well my union forces arrived fast in 2 days, but my bindings were in the original package with no padding or second box around it etc. (they had few small scratches) which I was kind of disappointed and also the bindings were put right by my mailbox out in the open where anyone could have stole them, and that's their fault not the shipping company's (they have certain agreements of where to put/not put the items). I'm lucky that i saw them when I was driving in the morning. Recently I also bought a jacket from them. I waited 6 days and no emails or calls so after 50 calls I finally got to talk with them, they said that it was out of stock (yes after even 6 days they didn't tell anything about it) and they offered me my money back or 25$ extra and buy something from their website so I didn't decide right away. I decided to get my money back but first I checked my credit card to see if they have even taken out money. I checked and I saw that they took money for 2 jackets not one (300$ both together), I think that was because of an error in the website and they told me that I didn't have some important field filled out in the check out even thought I ordered from the same account I ordered my bindings from. Right now I have been trying to call them for the past 2 days and I literally have called them at least 100 times (not exaggerating) and still no respond, it just beeps away when I call them (I guess its busy but I don't think so after I called them like every single second). Even when they're automatic message comes up it says to type 40 for customer service, i type it and it plays some dumb music and goes back to the automatic message, you can go do it over 10 times. OH, I also did send them email after 2 days of waiting for my jacket, still no response. I think its ridiculous of how bad their support is and how they can't manage anything. This sucks a lot!" avigo 12/20/2006

"I just got a snowboard from www.boardroomshop.com, and they were awesome! I called last week and asked about ordering an '06 model of the board. He said he wasn't sure he had the size and said he'd go check and call me back. Not five minutes later, he called back. Unfortunately, they didn't have the size I wanted, but he told me the sizes they DID have that could work for me, and said if I wanted to go with an '07 model that they would include an extra year warranty for free (on top of the 3 year that comes with the board). On Monday, I ordered over the phone and got to speak to a real person right away. He physically went and checked their stock to see if he had the board I wanted (and they did). Said he'd send it out that afternoon and that I should have it by Wednesday. Sure enough, I got it yesterday, with all of the warranty documents I needed and not a scratch on the board. And not paying for shipping is very nice, since it's quite a large box it comes in (nicely protected)! These guys are AWESOME and I would definitely deal with them again." cmo84 11/30/2006
"yes this company does rule. I ordered an Endeavor Live Series off there. No shipping cost, on GST because it was out of Province… cheap! The board showed up in 4 days and in perfect condition. I'm going to order some bindings from them tomorrow. Nothing better for Canada." ceeb 12/5/2006

I buy stuff from Eternal semi-regularly, in fact I'm wearing a grenade hoodie I bought from them right now. Were it not for the brokerage fees when shipping to Canada, I would shop there way more.
Boardzone isn't too bad, although now it's affiliated with West 49 so they mostly cater to the greatest common denominator making it harder to get high end gear.

good job stealing this from snowboard.com

I didn't steal anything since I'm the original author of it and the one who did the research for it. Here is the original list of online snowboard shop that I did and then Christofski posted for me when we needed a new version.
This list is for everyone, not just snowboard.com

An accidental leak of carbon monoxide in a home in Craik, Sask., was behind the recent deaths of a couple in that community, according to RCMP.
RCMP said Friday that an autopsy report from the coroner identified carbon monoxide poisoning as the cause of the deaths of a man, 67, and a woman, 65. The married couple lived in a home in the Craik Eco Village.
A family member discovered the deceased couple on Feb. 28 and called 911 for assistance.
RCMP said their investigation indicates the deaths were accidental.
Craik is about 120 kilometres northwest of Regina.
No names were released.

Prominent House Republican Paul Ryan sharpened his criticism of President Obama's "pen-and-phone" strategy of advancing his agenda without getting legislation passed, saying Sunday morning that "we have an increasingly lawless presidency."
"Presidents don't write laws; Congress does," Ryan told ABC's George Stephanopoulos. The president's executive actions relating to the implementation of the new health care law and other initiatives exceeded the scope of the presidency and have impinged on the authority of the legislature, according to Ryan.
The Wisconsin Republican added that "executive orders are one thing, orders that change the statute are another."
In addition to the president's unilateral changes to the health care law, the president laid out a set of policies he can enact without Congress in his State of the Union Address last week, including raising the minimum wage for federal contractors. "I am concerned about this trend," Ryan said, in which "if congress doesn't give me the law I want, I'm going to go do it myself. ... That's not the way the Constitution works."

Speedy Biker (iPhone) Game Review: Controls Throw A Spanar
There are plenty of things to like about Speedy Biker for the iPhone, it's a clone of the old console classic Excitebike (Come on, who doesn't like Excite Bike?), it has nice, colourful 2D graphics and on top of that, there's Game Center. But one thing takes the whole thing and dumps it into the trash can. What's that? Tilt controls.
The controls are shot, you tilt your iDevice to the right or left to make the rider lean forwards or backwards (doing a wheelie). But even you hold the iDevice stationary, the rider can AND will attempt to lean back or forward without player intervention. It just makes the game unplayable. Until someone fixes this problem, Nine Over Ten 9/10 couldn't possibly recommend this game. Speedy Biker gets a 2.5/5.
Speedy Biker is currently available on the App Store for USD 0.99. A review code was provided by Pirate Monkey Studios to Nine Over Ten 9/10 for the purpose of this review. Check it out here (but don't say I didn't warn you about the controls): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speedy-biker/id393107354?mt=8

The entire Richards-Hilton family has a reason to celebrate this Easter.
Just a couple of months after Nicky Hilton Rothschild announced she was expecting her first child, Kim Richards and Monty Brinson's daughter had a major announcement of her own to share this weekend.
"Happy Easter," Brooke Wiederhorn wrote on Instagram with an Easter basket filled with baby toys. "Can't wait to meet our baby BOY!" That's right! Kim is going to be a grandma for the very first time.
The news comes as the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star continues to strengthen her relationships with sisters Kyle Richards and Kathy Hilton.
In fact, all three siblings headed to Palm Springs this weekend to celebrate the Easter holiday.
As seen in several photos posted on Kyle's Snapchat, the sisters were able to enjoy a family dinner near the La Quinta Resort Saturday night before the gathering moved to a private home.
Faye Resnick, Paris Hilton, Mauricio Umansky and Rick Hilton were also spotted in Palm Springs enjoying family time that included Easter egg hunts by a golf course and dancing to Justin Bieber's "Sorry" on the patio.
While some may assume this is just your typical family gathering, fans of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills know that it's so much more than that.
In recent months, E! News has learned that there has been some family drama with some members not invited to major events and others feeling upset over past business deals.
Ultimately, everyone appears to be moving forward—or at least putting on a happy face—during the holidays.
"All families go through difficult times, and my family is no exception as you have witnessed if you have followed our lives these past six years," Kyle previously wrote in her Bravo blog. [My husband] said that all families go through tough times but they WILL be resolved."
(E! and Bravo are part of the NBCUniversal family)

|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Q: Filesystem choice for log_archive_dest
Hi Kevin,
I'm trying to demonstrate the difference of writing/spooling on direct IO vs cached filesystem(and to understand how exaclty the redo log spooling(huge amount of data, parallel execution) differ compared to the small data spooling (and I got the answer from Carel-Jan for that). It's obvious that as long as the filesystem/SAN controller's cache size and efficiency is able to hold/flush the amount of data before the cache gets full and the new data arrives, it will be beneficial to put the log archive destination on buffered file system (think about 6x10 to 32Mb online redo logs for small OLTP instance)
> ettest to compare different network configs, maybe
Why network config? SQLNet messages "from client" in this case is the OK for successful "write" operations(the sqlplus client is running on the database server host).
> Of course a SELECT * from a small table cached

Massimiliano Allegri insists his "future will not be decided" in the battle with Fiorentina for third place, but warns the match with Catania could be key.
The Rossoneri have seen their lead whittled down to just a single point, fuelling speculation President Silvio Berlusconi wants a change of management next season.
"It is very important that we have a point on Fiorentina, seeing as they are ahead of us in terms of head-to-head confrontations," said Allegri in his Press conference.
"I would be happy from now to the end of the season if we earned exactly as many points as Fiorentina. They've had a great campaign, especially as last season they were fighting to avoid relegation. We'll see at the end who is stronger.
"My future? We have third place to fight for, so I really don't have time to consider other situations.
"We've done good work at Milan over the last three years. I don't think my future will be decided in the next five games. Regardless of what I want to do, the President always makes the final decision."
Mario Balotelli returns from suspension for the Sunday night clash with Catania, as Milan aim to end a run of two points from three rounds.
"I hope Mario can give us a hand, as since he arrived his presence has always been felt," continued Allegri.
"In psychological terms, it would be very important for us to win. It won't be easy, as Catania have always done well this season and still hope to reach the Europa League. I think tomorrow will be fundamental for third place.
"We have got to be more motivated than them. Catania are good on the counter, so we have to be wary. We made mistakes against Fiorentina, played with 10 men for most of the second half with Napoli and made one costly error in the defeat to Juventus."

Asexual BisexualBefore my Hikiko nature I had a few relationships.
I never had a sexual attraction to the same or opposite sex although I was involved with both sexes.
I did enjoy the company, however. I found it fascinating that my experience with both showed me that each relationship with either sex had a certain degree of commitment.
My female partners were more emotionally involved and my male partners were often physical, not sexually, and in love. It was strange to me.
Anyway, I lack any and all sexual attraction but I don't mind the company of another partner.

In some deployments, the service provider side of an interaction might not store user accounts. The single sign-on solution is for all identity provider user accounts to be mapped to one service provider user account. Any attributes inside the Attribute Statement will be set as properties of the single sign-on token. The following procedure maps an identity provider user to a service provider anonymous user and passes two attributes to the service provider.
In the console, select the identity provider you wish to configure.
Edit Attribute Map attribute.
attribute Map defines the mapping between the provider that this metadata is configuring and the remote provider. This attribute takes a value of autofedAttribute-value=remote-provider-attribute. For example:
mail=mail employeeNumber=employeeNumber
From the console, select the service provider you wish to configure.
Edit the following attributes for the service provider.
transient User will take a value of one of the existing transient user identifiers on the service provider side, for example, anonymous.
attribut eMap defines the mapping between the provider that this metadata is configuring and the remote provider. This attribute takes a value of autofedAttribute_value=remote_provider_attribute. For example:
>mail=mail employeeNumber=employeeNumber
To test, invoke the single sign-on URL with the NameIDFormat=transient query parameter appended to it.
All identity provider users will be mapped to anonymous on the service provider side. mail and employeeNumber will be set as properties in the identity provider user's single sign-on token.

The first time Huston Street selected an intro song, he did so under duress.
He was a 21-year-old rookie with Oakland, was thrust in the closer's role and a member of the A's asked him on game day, "What music you want?"
"I don't know," replied Street.
"Well, you've got five minutes to decide."
Street selected an instrumental by Nas.
After being acquired by the Padres last December, Street had months to think about a new song selection. Coming to the team that virtually invented the closer's intro with Trevor Hoffman and AC/DC's "Hells Bells," Street took the task seriously.
"Sports are just a collection of traditions," he said. "This is the birthplace of it. 'Hells Bells.' Trevor Hoffman. It's synonymous with the ninth inning."
As fans discovered Wednesday evening, Street settled on "Stranglehold" by Ted Nugent. At the suggestion of Padres strength and conditioning coach Jim Malone, Street made the decision early in spring training.
"I've loved that song for 30 years," Malone said. "If I were a closer, this is a song I would like because you think about coming in and you've got the opposing team in a stranglehold. Ted Nugent, he's out of his mind. That's the kind of controlled craziness, if I were a closer, I'd want to come out to."
The pertinent lyrics:
Got you in a stranglehold baby,
you better get out of the way
"When Jim made that suggestion," said Street, "it was more of a relief. I felt we had achieved the moment. It's kind of vintage, a classic."
Trevor approves
Street said Hoffman gave his choice a two-thumbs up.
"That was important to me," Street said. "I wanted him to approve, absolutely. The respect I have for him as a player, as a person, you always want somebody like Trevor Hoffman to be in your corner."
A whole two seasons?
Tweeted Friday @ESPNStatsInfo: "Matt Cain is first to throw a 1-hitter where the only hit came by an opposing pitcher since R.A. Dickey in 2010." Wow, way back when in 2010.
Aztecs fever, catch it
San Diego State has received deposits for 2,000 new basketball season tickets. Last year's season-ticket count: about 7,000.
In the five days since it was announced that the Aztecs would play UCLA in the Wooden Classic, SDSU sold 2,300 tickets to the Dec. 1 game at Anaheim's Honda Center. The university receives a portion of ticket sales sold through the university. Tickets may be purchased at
goaztecs.com or at (619) 283-7378.
Final add, Aztecs
Publications have Steve Fisher's 2012-13 team ranked from ninth to 18th.
Things I think
Padres have failed to draw 2 million just once in the past 16 seasons. If they hit 2 million this year, promotions department deserves a bonus …
Have more trees been killed, more airtime squandered and more words wasted on any single subject than the NFL Draft?
If Stephen Strasburg pitches for the Nationals on April 26 against the Padres, as scheduled, I'm heading to Petco and passing on the draft in prime time …
Padres' batting averages should hit an uptick next Tuesday. On the hill for the Rockies: 49-year-old Jaime "Be patient, the ball will get there" Moyer.
Could be worse
Padres are virtual '27 Yankees compared to Pirates, who have scored 11 runs in seven games.
Outside the sports world
Haven't read "The Hunger Games," but saw the movie. Nicely done. Entertaining … John Grisham's latest novel, "Calico Joe," is a father-son tale, centered on a baseball phenom. Some of the phenom's feats take fiction to a new level. Try hits in his first 15 at-bats and 14 home runs in his first 19 games. But it's a good read and at 198 pages, a fast one.

Chris Nelson grew up surfing the cold and often frost covered beaches along the Yorkshire coastline in the North Sea. There is something about growing up surfing cold water that breeds an overabundance of stoke. During the '90s he put that stoke and energy into creating "Asylum", the UK's first free sport magazine and then onto "Freeride", the UK's first boarding lifestyle publication. It seems that each decade brought a new incarnation of Chris' enthusiasm for surfing. The 2000s brought a series of best selling surf travel guides with his partner and co-author in crime Demi Taylor. The beginning of this decade brought one more publication: "Cold Water Souls", a book about cold water surf culture from around the globe. The book was a huge success. Then his focus changed from writing and publishing to film. So began the creation of the London Surf Film Festival (LSFF). It is now over a month past the inaugural event, and the festival was considered a huge success. Keith Malloy's film "Come Hell or High Water" walked away with the Best Film category. But more importantly was the introduction of the LSFF's Shorties competition that celebrated homegrown talent and has given the local surf filmmakers a platform to bring their visions to the surf world and to inspire a new generation of budding filmmakers. Chris was coming off a three-week decompression upon the completion of the LSFF. Three weeks of no Internet, no email, some DIY and surfing.
When did you start surfing?
Chris Nelson: I started surfing back in the mid to late 80's. I had to wait until I was old enough to drive to get to the beach, as I lived about an hour inland at the time.
What was your local spot?
I surfed on the Yorkshire coastline. There was only, one surf shop on the whole northeast coastline back then. My local break was a beach at Whitby called Sandsend, then progressed onto the local reefs. It's a great area – loads of history, Captain Cook and Dracula country.
Can you remember the first surf film you ever watched?
I can't remember the actual first one I watched but I do remember seeing guys like Pottz, Tom Curren, Tom Carroll and Barton Lynch on video in Hawaii and being blown away. I think Pottz might still have been English back then, which was an inspiration for us. He had 'The Saint' spray job on his board. The first ones I owned and watched again and again – they were of the Gripping Stuff, Rolling Thunder, Green Iguana era.
Up until recently it seems like surf films were strictly for home viewing. Has there been history of surf films being shown in the theaters in the UK? I know for us in NY there was hardly any film screenings in theaters until a few years ago. Do you find it to be the same?
The only films that made it to the big screen here are of the "Big Wednesday", "Riding Giants" variety. There is a tradition of films in village halls, toured from town to town. I saw "Rolling Thunder" back in the day, and there were always the occasional classics screened. The other place that screened films were surf shops but often these were 'brand' films. Yet it's amazing just how fantastic surf films work in a cinema environment.
What do you think it is about seeing a surf film in a cinema that makes it so special as opposed to a bar, surf shop or home?
Seeing it in a cinema just blows away any other way of veiwing it. It's a bit like someone showing you a picture of raging Pipeline on an iPhone or being there on the beach to see it in person. I first saw "Finnsurf" as a vimeo version they sent, which was great, but seeing on the big screen blew me away. It pulls you in and engages you on so many levels. Also sitting in an audience that responds to the film, laughs at the humor, jumps at the shocking parts. It's not just viewing something, it's about being part of a happening.
You and your partner Demi started the "London Surf Film Festival." At what point did you guys realize you wanted to put on a surf film festival in the UK? Was it a string of influences or one moment where you said, "We've got to do this"?
We'd always wanted to go to the Surfilm Festibal in San Sebastian but we always seemed to have book deadlines and we'd never managed to make it. We'd also seen that New York had an exciting and vibrant festival so it was a thing we'd kind of discussed for a while. When I was writing the US East Coast chapter of my book Cold Water Souls, I interviewed you about being a surfer from New York. Chatting with you about the festival in New York was a real catalyst and proved to be a spur. Demi and I started thinking "Why not here in the UK?" We could see there was a real demand for something like this. London seemed like the natural home for it. After writing about surfing and surf culture for nearly twenty years it felt like a natural progression. It's an exciting time at the moment. There seems to be a movement of likeminded people who are working with filmmakers to promote surf movies like you and the guys at SMASH in NY, the Canadian Surf Film Festival, and Sancho in San Sebastian, Spain.
What were the challenges that you faced with doing a surf film festival in London?
Wow, where to start? Finding the right venue… sponsorship… there were so many logistical things involved in a year one project. But the biggest challenge was that so many great films came out this year that finding space for all the films we'd have liked to have had screened proved impossible. Ten films over three days were as much as we could cram in and there were some good films we just couldn't find space for. We had nearly forty features submitted!

Harbor Beach moves to 2-0 with impressive victory over Patriots
Published 8:00 pm, Thursday, August 30, 2007
HARBOR BEACH Unionville-Sebewaing Area stole the headlines opening night with a mini upset against Ubly.
By MIKE BOGAN
HARBOR BEACH Unionville-Sebewaing Area stole the headlines opening night with a mini upset against Ubly.
Less than a week later, the Harbor Beach Pirates decided it was their turn. Harbor Beach's defense clamped down on USA workhorse Lance VanHoost, and the offense and special teams did just enough, scoring once on the ground and once in the air, en route to an exciting 13-12 Greater Thumb Conference crossover victory here Thursday night over the Patriots.
Harbor Beach tailback Brion Gornowich rushed for 137 yards while backmate Brett Buchholz chipped in 72 yards and a touchdown.
Quarterback Tom Sorenson hit end Travis Schock with a 13-yard scoring strike late in the third quarter for the go-ahead score. Schock, a play later, booted the all-important PAT, which turned out to make for the winning margin.
"We've told Travis that one of these days one of those extra-points is going to win us a game and it did tonight," said Harbor Beach coach Troy Schelke.
The defense did its part, too.
Harbor Beach, which yielded 184 rushing yards last week in a 13-0 win over Bad Axe, gave up just 141 yards here Thursday night.
VanHoost, who rushed for over 200 yards in USAs win against Ubly in Week 1, was limited to 76 yards.
Basically, Harbor Beachs defense bent a little, but didn't break much.
"Defensively, I think we did a fantastic job," said Schelke. "(VanHoost) I think is one of the best athletes, one of the best runners, in the area. We had nightmares about him all week. I am very happy with the improvement we made playing the run against a very physical team.
Our defensive line had to play physical. And our linebackers and secondary had to fill. And I think we did a good job of that. VanHoost still got his yards, but we didn't let him loose on long runs.
Its Harbor Beach second consecutive one-point victory over the Patriots. The Pirates picked up a 14-13 win over USA in 2006. A year earlier, the Patriots earned a 21-20 win over the Pirates.
"Every year (against USA), it seems it's 21-20, 14-13…," Schelke said. "It's always a hard-hitting, physical game. I am very happy to get the win against them."
For USA, it's a disappointing way to head into league play, though coach Gary VanSumeren thinks his team will be better for it down the road.
"We just told the boys that, without a doubt, you just played two of the best teams for our size school in the state," he said. "I can't imagine playing two tougher teams. You go to Ubly and then you go to Harbor Beach…
"We've had our fair share of these games in the last year. At times, I think, tonight confidence escaped us. Sometimes, it looked like they lost that edge with their confidence. We couldn't snap out of it."
USA oozed confidence on its opening drive. The Patriots marched 63 yards in about 20 plays, converting several third downs, as well as a fourth-and-one from the Harbor Beach 20. Quarterback Brandon Bitzer capped the drive with a 6-yard TD plunge. The PAT failed, but USA led 6-0, and in the process took 7:15 off the clock.
"We knew it was going to be a ball-possession type game," VanSumeren said. "We knew we had to make every possession count."
The Pirates countered on their opening drive, moving 75 yards in 7:09, highlighted by a pair of fourth-down conversions, including a fourth-and-seven at the USA 21. The Pirates went to the back of their playbook, bringing out an end-around play which Brad Mazure converted into a first-and-goal. A few plays later, Buchholz crashed in from the 4-yard line. The PAT missed, knotting the game at 6.
No question, the drive's crucial play was the long fourth-down conversion. "That end-around is coach (Dave Korbel's) play," Schelke explained. "And he's been bugging me to run it for about 10 years now. And finally, we ran it and it worked well. So I have to give credit to him for that one."
It stayed tied until late in the third quarter. After the Pirates marched to the USA 1-yard line and fumbled on their first possession of the second half, the Patriots could not pick up a first down and were forced to punt from their own end zone.
Harbor Beach got the ball back at the USA 29, and took less than two minutes to cash in. Sorenson found a wide open Schock in the end zone for the go-ahead score. This time, Schock's PAT attempt went straight through, making it 13-6 with 1:23 to play in the third quarter.
USA responded, though. With VanHoost carrying the load, the Patriots marched 66 yards in 7:27, picking up a fourth-and-three and a fourth-and-four. Tyson Valentine capped the impressive drive with a 1-yard dive. The PAT, however, was low and partially blocked, keeping the Pirates in front by one, 13-12, with 5:51 to play.
USA never got the ball back. The Pirates picked up a bunch of first downs, converting a third-and-six near midfield with 2:46 left. Then, the game-clincher came with 1:51 to play on fourth-and-four. Harbor Beach's offense had been going on '1' the entire game, but after a timeout decided to try to draw USA's defense off-side with a '2' snapcount.
It worked. USA was hit with a 5-yard off-side penalty its first infraction of the game. The Pirates then ran out the clock.
"Give Harbor Beach credit," VanSumeren said. "They are a big, physical, strong team. How do you practice for 800 pounds of guys running at you? They run that power sweep and that outside counter to perfection.
"They kept grinding the clock, grinding the clock. We'd stop them a few times, and then they'd get a big play. It would be second-and-eight, and then next thing you know it's third-and-one. That's the way the game turned out. "But I can't fault our effort."
USA, now 1-1 overall, starts GTW play next week at 0-2 Bay City All Saints. Harbor Beach, meanwhile, is now 2-0 and heads into GTE play next week at home against winless Brown City.
"The league is going to be tough," Schelke said. "Every week, we expect games just like this. We have to get better. This win will help us enjoy the weekend, and we have to get ready for Brown City next week.
"Down the road, I expect this win to give us some confidence."

Fire crews spent 30 extinguishing a blaze at a southwest Lubbock apartment complex Wednesday afternoon.
Lubbock Fire Battalion Chief Randy Butcher said the fire started about 3:30 p.m. in a second floor apartment at the Quail Creek Apartment complex in the 7500 block of Aberdeen Avenue.
No one was in the apt when the fire started, and there were no injuries, Butcher said.
The fire was contained to one apartment, but four other apartments received smoke damage.
The Lubbock fire marshal was investigating the cause of the blaze late Wednesday.

There are literally thousands of prints, preprinted stickers and other assorted wall hangings available, in virtually every theme imaginable. You can spend hundreds of dollars creating the most beautiful, kid friendly room in the world or spend a few dollars with a few of the following tips. (Didn't that just sound like an informercial?)
Many government departments, environmental and animal groups have free promotional posters available for the asking. Most of these are beautifully made but some may have messages that are not appropriate for kids and can be removed.
If the poster features a very nice picture of some cute animal, simply cut the picture out and hang it. Some may not allow you to do this without damaging the part you want. In that case, cover the areas with pieces of another poster, stickers or even use a marker or paint to block it out.
Dry mount the poster and hang.
If you have access to a color printer, select a few of the millions of pieces of clip art or stock photos that are available online with many drawing programs or on the internet and print. Dry mount and hang.
For my children's play room at home I printed each letter of the alphabet and the numbers one to ten in different colors, on its own sheet of letter size card stock, available at all office supply stores.
Since the color of the play room walls and the card stock were both white, I simply cut out the letters and numbers allowing about a quarter of an inch of white space around them. I then used two-sided carpet tape on the back and spaced them along the wall so that the alphabet and numbers wrapped around the entire room.
