Every single boy took part today in building this Legacy! Every single Bobcat player won at least one match today, which is unprecedented in our TVC. This truly was a team win!

Congratulations to Landon Kogelman ⚽🏈 https://www.mlive.com/highschoolsports/2024/09/john-glenn-has-a-senior-leader-who-can-boom-the-ball-with-the-best-of-em.html BANGOR TOWNSHIP, MI – Landon Kogelman’s powerful leg often leaves people buzzing. And yet, when John Glenn soccer coach Brian Scherzer rattled off the attributes that Kogelman brings to the No. 15-ranked Bobcats, leg strength was well down the list. Scherzer values Kogelman’s savvy that makes him a top defender and aggression that makes him an offensive weapon. He appreciates the attitude that makes him a good leader and the accountability that makes him a strong captain. Then, of course, there’s that leg. That wondrously powerful leg. “Like a kicker on the football team, he can send shots from 35 yards out and put them on the frame,” Scherzer said. “He’ll be at a spot where they’re not expecting a shot and all of a sudden he’s sending a laser at the net.” Kogelman’s all-around resume and value to his team helped him earn MLive Bay City Athlete of the Week honors in an online poll of readers. He garnered 36.3 percent of the 47,596 ballots cast to edge Pinconning soccer player Landen Enciso at 30.7 percent. Seven of the 10 fall sports athletes on the poll drew more than 1,000 votes of support. Kogelman, who actually does double as the kicker for the football team, has been a key figure in a stunning season for the John Glenn boys soccer team. The Bobcats are rolling with a 13-0-1 record while making a bid for the program’s first league championship since 2005. As a holding midfielder, he carries plenty of value on both ends of the field. A defensive player by nature, he’s long had the ability to thwart an opposing attack. But his offensive skills continued to blossom, and the Bobcats aren’t about to let that talent go to waste. “He always played a defensive position, but he’s got such skill that he’s not afraid to jump up in the attack,” Scherzer said. “We kind of took the leash off him and said ‘If you see a scoring chance, you take it.’ And when he sees it, he goes.” A four-year varsity performer, Kogelman earned all-Tri-Valley Conference Red and all-Bay County honors as a junior. When he returned for his senior campaign, it was clear that he was ready to stand at the forefront of the team. “As much as he brings with skill, he provides even more with leadership and attitude,” Scherzer said. “His work ethic is second to none. He’s doing all the things you need to do as a captain. “If you don’t have a good leader on the team, it’s tough. He knows how to work with everybody. If we’re having a rough game, he keeps the spirits up and keeps our heads in the game.” Kogelman’s mighty leg made him an obvious candidate for the football team as well. In Glenn’s 39-8 victory over Essexville Garber on Friday, he was a perfect 4-for-4 on PAT kicks and boomed a 37-yard field goal. But while he steps on the football field for very specific duties, he’s stays on the soccer pitch for a wide range of responsibilities. And the Bobcats are banking on him to come through in every phase of the game. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve taken him out of a game in four years,” Scherzer said. “He’s such an asset on the field. He gives us 80 solid minutes every game, so you always want to leave him out there.” Kogelman leads Glenn into a key TVC Red matchup with Frankenmuth at home at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
