JIMMY McCRUM, JOHN GLENN
After sprouting up to 6-foot-7, it is McCrum’s time to shine for the Bobcats. The senior forward showed flashes of his athletic ability a year ago and now he’s being counted on to bring it every game. He averaged 5.0 points and 5.0 rebounds as a role player last season but is a pivotal piece this time around. His above-the-rim capabilities make him a must-see player.
The Thunder beat FNV 8-4 Wednesday night at Saginaw Bay Arena. MLS Senior Lance Hatfield had two goals. John Glenn Senior Preston Pudvan had a goal and assist. Swan Valley's Cameron Mair, Beckett Pruden both had a goal. John Glenns's Aiden Waibel picked up his second goal in two games and Sid Suchodolski picked up his first of the season. Clio Sophomore Cody Voydanoff scored his first high school goal. Pinconning sophomore Jake Rau had two assists on the night.
The Thunder will play at 7:30 pm Friday vs Caledonia and Saturday at 11:00 am vs Jackson United as part of the Bay City Showcase. Both games will take place at the Bay County Civic Arena.

The Glenn girls basketball team cruised to a convincing win in their season opener Monday night, defeating the Bay City All Saints with a final score of 53-16. Coach Moore praised the team's performance after the game, noting how the players settled into their rhythm once the initial nerves subsided.
"We played hard and had fun tonight", Coach Moore said. "The team really came together as the game went on and showed what we're capable of."
The game was never in doubt, as Glenn jumped out to a commanding 17-3 lead after the first quarter and extended it to 30-6 by halftime. Fiona Meisel led the way with scoring with 21 points. Aubrey Moore made a significant impact posting 11 points and 10 assists.

Meet Austin Fader our JV head coach for our lady BOBCATS!
Hello Bobcat Nation! I’m Austin Fader and I’m excited to join coach Adam Moore and the girls basketball program here at John Glenn. I played for coach Adam during my high school career, and he helped send me off to play basketball at Grace Bible College after high school. I’m a native of the thumb, and my wife and I are currently raising our 3 kids (Camden 6, Jordyn 3, Quinn 10 months) in Midland. We love our time together as a family and you can typically find us on some out of the house adventure led by our 6 year old, church, or watching the Lions. We’re a family passionate about sports, particularly the side that teaches the life skills and lessons such as communication, teamwork, and overcoming adversity. I’m excited for the season and can’t wait to see where our hard work takes us this season. Go Bobcats!
We are so excited to have you on our team Coach Fader 🐾🏀
