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 🐾🏀

7th Grade Volleyball teams getting in a Friday practice before their Monday game. 💙🤍🏐
The 8th grade volleyball team traveled to Freeland on Monday night for their opening match of the season. Both the Blue and White teams came away with victories over the Falcons, picking up right where they left off last year!
Every player contributed to their team’s success, but spotlight performances were made by the following student athletes:
For the White team, Brooklynn Bullock was devastating with her front row play and excellent serves while Pria Herek had multiple attacks at the net and key blocks for her team.
For the Blue team, Ella Bailey had an amazing kick save for her team, along with multiple attacks and kills, and Grace Garcia dominated the net, devastating Freeland with her blocking ability.
Great job ladies! The next match is Monday vs. Frankenmuth at 4:30
