Today our winter student athletes and coaches are sharing their voices for the restart of Winter Contact Sports by writing letters to our elected representatives and state officials. We applaud them for taking this initiative and also join with them in fighting to get our teams competing again!
Today I sent the attached letter and communications to our elected representatives and state officials in support of our student athletes. I would like to thank Representative Timmy Beson for responding back to me immediately and joining our fight to get kids back playing again. It is clear he is a partner in Lansing on this with us.
"Our student-athletes and coaches at John Glenn High School have done a remarkable job this entire school year to ensure the health and safety of our student-athletes by following all COVID-19 protocols including playing in facemasks, conducting daily temperature checks and submitting to daily health monitoring checks. We are proud to share that we did not have any in-season confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 among any of our active student-athletes to date. The scientific data shared with athletic directors by the MHSAA indicates that high school competitive sports are extremely safe in relation to COVID-19 and are detrimental to the physical, mental and social well-being of our students. We sincerely hope our students are allowed to play as we continue to implement all safety measures necessary to combat this virus."

Athletics Update 11-15-20
The MHSAA just issued the following release: The three ongoing fall tournaments, girls swimming & diving, volleyball and football, have been suspended. The MHSAA will be exploring all options to complete these three remaining Fall tournaments. At this same time, discussions will take place to revise Winter sports plans that will include updated practice and competition calendars. As we have promised since March, the MHSAA will continue to be transparent and flexible while sharing information and updated timelines once those are set. Our goal since June remains unchanged as we will continue to plan for three sports seasons that can all be completed during the 2020-21 school year.
Here's what the recent information and guidance means for Bangor Township Schools Athletics right now:
1. Athletic activities are postponed for 3 weeks and facilities are closed at this time. No practices, no competitions, no individual private workouts with our coaches/volunteers with any student athletes unless we are otherwise directed. The MHSAA has issued the following directive which we will adhere to: The only allowed coach-player contact and activities for all sports (fall, winter and spring) is virtual communication and meetings through at least Dec. 8 or until these new orders are amended.
2. CMMS Girls Basketball will be postponed.
3. JGHS Winter Sports tryouts and practices are postponed including Thunder hockey.
4. JGHS Girls Swim and Dive postponed- waiting on clarification regarding pool usage.
5. JGHS and CMMS Pompons are postponed.
6. Fundraising initiatives currently underway that can be done electronically are still permitted.
