"Lady Bobcats Show Grit in Marathon Match Against Garber" The home courts were buzzing this evening as the John Glenn JV Girls Tennis team, better known as the Lady Bobcats, locked into a grueling two-hour battle against the visiting Garber High School Dukes. In a night defined by endurance and high-stakes volleys, the Lady Bobcats proved they have the stamina to match their skill. While the competition was fierce across every court, John Glenn’s doubles teams stole the spotlight, securing a series of hard-earned victories. Doubles Dominance The Lady Bobcats found their rhythm at the net and the baseline, with three key pairings walking away with wins: Savanah Grauherr & Emma Barber Evie Jacobson & Maci Betzold Kinzie Rezmer & Giselle Coon Match of the Day: The Marathon Duo The standout performance of the evening belonged to Kinzie Rezmer and Giselle Coon, who turned in a legendary "double-shift" performance. After outlasting their first Garber opponents in a nail-biting tiebreaker win, the duo barely had time to catch their breath before stepping back onto the court for a second match. Showing incredible mental toughness, Rezmer and Coon faced off against a fresh Dukes pairing and forced yet another tiebreaker. In a display of pure clutch play, they secured their second tiebreaker victory of the night. Coach Miller was quoted "To win one tiebreaker is tough, to go back out and win a second one immediately after shows incredible heart." It was a stellar evening for John Glenn JV. With this kind of resilience on display, the future looks bright for the Lady Bobcats. Great job, ladies!

JGHS Girls Soccer Outmatches Garber in TVC Opener

The Lady Bobcats hosted Essexville-Garber on Thursday for TVC conference action, coming away with a solid 3-0 victory to remain undefeated in the young 2026 campaign.

The Bobcats controlled possession throughout the match. While they created several first-half chances, they couldn't quite find the back of the net before the break. That changed in the second half when sophomore Ayla Gunn broke the deadlock. After her initial hard shot was deflected by the keeper, Gunn showed great composure to settle the rebound and strike again, giving the Bobcats a 1-0 lead.

A few minutes later, sophomore Quinn Lang moved from Center Back to Striker to create matchup issues—a move that paid off quickly. Lang took a beautiful assist from senior Isabella Snyder between two Garber defenders, giving her a clear run at the goal where she buried the opportunity to put Glenn up 2-0.

The Bobcats continued to press, keeping the ball locked in Garber’s half. The final goal came when freshman Brooklyn Hathaway made a defensive run that ended with a gorgeous weak-side through ball to sophomore Mya Johnson, who ripped the ball past the keeper to make it 3-0.

Glenn utilized a duo in goal to preserve the shutout. Senior Piper Cluckey recorded 4 saves, while freshman Ella Bailey added 2 saves to secure the clean sheet. The Bobcats have now registered three consecutive shutout victories to start the season.

Senior Grace Anderson was a defensive standout, gutting out all 80 minutes in heavy winds and leading the young Bobcat defense with timely tackles and smart play out of the back.

"Lady Bobcats Battle Winds and Indians to a Hard-Fought Draw" The John Glenn Lady Bobcats officially kicked off their Varsity Tennis season today, hosting the Chesaning Indians in a season opener that tested more than just their backhands. Between a determined opponent and unrelenting high winds sweeping across the home courts, the afternoon was a true test of grit. When the dust settled, the Bobcats walked away with a respectable 4-4 tie to start the year. Overcoming the Elements Tennis is a game of precision, but today’s match required pure adaptability. The high winds forced players to adjust their shot selection and footwork constantly. Despite the challenging conditions, the Lady Bobcats remained focused, showing the kind of resilience that suggests a promising season ahead. Victory Column: Match Winners While the overall score was deadlocked, several Bobcats secured their first individual victories of the new season. Singles Standout Freshman newcomer, Katie Gallagher put on a clinical performance in her singles match, navigating the gusts to secure a crucial point for John Glenn. Doubles Dominance The Bobcats showed immense strength in their pairings, claiming three of the four doubles matches: Adele Neophytou & Gabbie Bishop Elina Selina & Pearl Norton Kaya Clickner & Evelyn Gruber Each of these duos displayed excellent communication and chemistry, proving that the Bobcats' doubles lineup will be a force to be reckoned with this year. Looking Ahead It was a solid start for the Lady Bobcats, who proved they can hold their ground even when Mother Nature isn't cooperating. They won't have long to rest, however, as the team prepares to hit the road. The Lady Bobcats travel south this coming Monday to take on Flint Kearsley. With the first-match jitters out of the way and several wins already under their belts, the team is looking to carry this momentum into their first away match. Go Bobcats!
