John Glenn softball outsmarted mother nature today and moved to the JV field and got two impressive victories. Now they have four games in the next two days at Coleman tomorrow back home Thursday versus Birch run.

"Lady Bobcats Battle to Gritty Tie Against Flint Kearsley" In a match defined by resilience and late-set heroics, the John Glenn Lady Bobcats tennis team traveled to Flint Kearsley High School on Monday to face off against a tough Hornets squad. After hours of intense play on the courts, the two teams finished in a 4-4 deadlock, proving just how evenly matched these competitors were. The Bobcats relied on a balanced attack, picking up crucial wins in both the singles and doubles brackets to secure the draw. Singles Standouts The Lady Bobcats found success at the top and at the bottom of the lineup. Emma Dabrowski and Katie Gallagher both delivered commanding performances, staying composed under pressure to notch victories for John Glenn. Their ability to control the baseline and dictate the pace of their matches provided the early momentum the Bobcats needed on the road. Dominance in Doubles John Glenn’s depth was on full display in the doubles matches. The pairings of Pearl Norton & Elina Selina and Adele Neophytou & Gabbie Bishop both walked off the courts with wins. The Match of the Day honors undoubtedly went to Neophytou and Bishop. After finding themselves trailing early in the first set, the duo flipped a switch. They roared back to win four straight games, snatching the first set 7-5. With the momentum firmly on their side, they went into "shutdown mode" in the second set, dominating the Hornets 6-0 to complete the comeback. Exhibition Excellence Beyond the varsity scoring, the Lady Bobcats showed they have plenty of talent waiting in the wings. John Glenn swept several exhibition matches, gaining valuable experience and showing off the program's depth: Singles: Ajae Morgan secured a hard-fought victory. Doubles: The teams of Giselle Coon & Kinzie Rezmer and Brooke Mosher & Anna Gruber both came away with wins, ensuring a productive day for the entire traveling roster.

"Marathon on the Courts: Lady Bobcats Shine in St. John’s Quad" In a grueling test of both skill and stamina, the John Glenn High School Lady Bobcats tennis team proved today that they have the heart of champions. Competing in a high-stakes quad event in St. John’s, the Bobcats endured a marathon session of tennis, battling opponents and the elements for more than eight hours on the courts. While many teams might have wilted under the pressure of such a long day, the Lady Bobcats stepped up when it mattered most, securing crucial victories across the board. Singles Success The singles flight saw a trio of Bobcats find their rhythm early. Emma Dabrowski, Maddie Schlicht, and Katie Gallagher all notched impressive match wins throughout the day. Their ability to maintain focus after hours of play was a testament to their conditioning and mental toughness. Doubles Dominance On the doubles side, the two duos of Adele Neophytou and Gabbie Bishop, Emma Barber and Savanah Grauherr, both teams displayed seamless chemistry. Their aggressive play at the net and consistent serving allowed them to navigate a tough field and rack up wins for the John Glenn scorecard. Bringing Home the Hardware As the sun began to set on a long day of competition, several Bobcats walked away with more than just a sense of pride. Taking home 2nd place medal honors for their outstanding performances were: Katie Gallagher (Singles) Adele Neophytou & Gabbie Bishop (Doubles) The Lady Bobcats return home tonight with medals in hand and a clear message to the rest of the conference: they are ready to go the distance. Congratulations to the team on a phenomenal showing in St. John's!

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!
