The Bay City John Glenn girls competed at Midland today. It was a challenging tournament with many of the state’s ranked wrestlers. The girls had a good showing competing hard in their matches. The day was highlighted by Liya Bossbach who finished fourth. Vivian Arnold had a fifth place finish. Brayde Smith finished sixth. The girls are definitely ready to compete at the individual district in Montrose next Sunday.

Bobcat lady ballers get the win! JG 58 Ogemaw 15 Scoring: Aubrey Moore 14 pts (11 in 1st quarter), 11 assists Fiona Meisel & Allie Gabel 9 pts each Lillian Masters & Remy Polzin 6 pts each We came out strong tonight right from the start. We were very unselfish with the basketball tonight and it was a great team win! Defensively we moved our feet a whole lot better and getting better there. Player quote, Ellie Schwall: We played more as a team and we are moving better in our offense. We are communicating better defensively and not fouling as much and being more discipline.

Weekend Bowling Roundup: Saturday at Valley Lanes in Midland the Bobcats took on the Eagles from Frankenmuth. The girls defeated Frankenmuth 29-1. Noteables: Lauren Johnson 187 Caeli Schultz 170 On the boys side the Bobcats defeated the reigning division 3 state champions. The match ended 15-15, they had to go to the total pins of all games to decide the winner. The Bobcats had knocked down 12 pins more than the eagles. The Bobcats were led by a stunning performance from Tyson Cwicklinski. With his 160 average he recorded games of 231 and 224 for a 455 series. Nathan Gwizdala paced the boys with 473 series on games of 216 and 247. With two matches to go both teams remain undefeated on top of the standings. Sunday at the Swartz Creek Dragon Singles 130 boys and 78 girls took to the lanes for 4 games of qualifying before each field was cut to the top 32. Nathan Gwizdala qualified 14th on the boys side while Caeli Schultz was 11th and Lauren Johnson was 24th in the girls. In the first elimination round Caeli and Nathan were eliminated as Lauren moved on. Lauren won in the round of 16 before falling in the round of 8.

The John Glenn girls wrestling program competed last night at the Ovid-Elsie invitational and did they compete. Liya Bossbach and Gracie Fernette placed 4th and Vivian Arnold placed 3rd. This has been a crazy season of ups and downs for 9 first year wrestlers, but they are really beginning to put it together. All of the girls won matches and Brayde Smith made it to the blood round losing to the 7th ranked girl in the state in a competitive match. Fernette would lose the consolation final to the same girl in a nail biting 4-1 loss. Gracie had a couple of opportunities to tie the match in the third period but just could finish on three takedown opportunities. Vivian pinned her way to a third place finish beating the three seed for the second time in the tournament. I could not be more proud of our growth these past three weeks. They have began to turn a corner and compete with some of the best competition in the state. Go Bobcats!

We have a new coach introduction for CMMS boys basketball that we did not want to miss! Meet Coach Kristen Valliere I am a Bay City native born and raised, and went to school at John Glenn. I have always loved playing any sport I could, and had a pull to get into coaching soon after my playing days ended. My coaching experience mainly comes from being an assistant with the high school, however my experience as a player is longer coming from playing travel AAU, summer camps/clinics, and finally of course playing for the high school and being a product of the system I came up in! I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community and school that gave so much to me. I look forward to the relationships I will build with my players! We are excited to have you as a part of our coaching staff Coach! Once a BOBCAT ALWAYS A BOBCAT 🐾

We have a new coach introduction for our CMMS girls swim team! Meet Coach Heather Langholz I’m excited to introduce myself as your new coach! My name is Heather Langholz , and I bring over ten seasons of soccer coaching experience, along with a deep passion for helping players grow both in athletics and in class. A little about me: I am a proud mother of an 18-year-old senior who is a varsity soccer player, a national honor roll student, and an active member of Student Council. He’s also in the marching band as the section lead for his instrument group. Watching him juggle his commitments with dedication has only strengthened my appreciation for student-athletes like all of you. I’ve also worked at CMMS for two years and truly love the opportunity to connect with and support such amazing students every day. My goal as your coach is to build a team culture rooted in hard work, positivity, and growth. I can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together this season! Feel free to reach out with any questions, goals, or ideas—I’m here for you. Let’s make it a great season! Welcome coach we are happy to have you aboard!
