Happy Tuesday Bobcat Nation! We would like to introduce our new Varsity Assistant Coach to you all!
Hello Bobcats! I’m Nick Southern and I’m excited to join the baseball program at John Glenn. I was born and raised in Bay City and my wife Nicole and I are currently raising our two boys (and our dog Jackson) here. Reese (18) is a freshman at Alma College and is also playing baseball there and Ryder (14) is an 8th grader at CMMS. Outside of coaching, I have been an elementary school teacher for the past 18 years–currently I’m teaching K-5 physical education.
I’ve had the privilege of coaching baseball for the last 15 years at all different levels. Many of my current and former players attend CMMS and John Glenn. During the spring and summer, you can be sure to find me at a baseball field somewhere! I am excited for the season to begin. Go Bobcats!
Help us welcome Coach Southern if you see him around the gym or the fields this spring 🐾
