John Glenn Boys soccer started the 2026 season with a win over Bad Axe 6-4 on Thursday August 20 at Hatchett Stadium in Bad Axe, ushering in a new Era of Glenn Soccer. The team needed a game to gel with new leaders on and off the field. The first half proved a bit rocky as players adjusted to a new tactics plan and the physical demands of an 80 minute physical contest.
Trailing 3-1 at half time, the Bobcats took the half to focus on what went right and where they were one touch or one cycle away from finding success. The boys also discussed non verbal messages being sent and confronted the need to focus on their new team identity. The result was a powerful and abrupt shift for the team and an explosion of 4 goals over the first 20 minutes of the second half with controlled passing setting up run after run for a speedy up top trio. The Bobcats added another goal with about 6 minutes remaining to double up the opposition 6-3. Bad Axe would get a a goal in the final minute during some reserves time for both teams.
The Bobcats got contributions on the scoreboard from several players, which has been a focus in early season practice. The Bobcats got two goals each from Dylan Wood and Paul Nori and goals from Damien Albrecht and Justin Wingeier. The Bobcats had assists from multiple places as well. Barrett Yaklin, Wyatt Jeske and Aethon Wallaker each had two assists while Brayden Lang and Albrecht also had a helper each as part of some very strong passing cycles leading to goals.
The Bobcats will next put on the cleats on for the Bay County Tournament on Saturday at Bay Area Soccer Complex.

✈️ Welcome Home, Bobcats!
Our John Glenn High School students have returned from an unforgettable adventure in Costa Rica through the Spanish Department! Throughout the trip, students had the opportunity to immerse themselves in a new culture while exploring the country's beautiful landscapes, experiencing traditional foods, and learning about Costa Rican customs and traditions firsthand.
Travel experiences like these provide incredible opportunities to broaden perspectives, practice language skills, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
A special thank you goes to Ms. Johnson and Mrs. Brunette for leading this amazing experience and investing their time and energy to make it possible. We are also grateful to the families and supporters who helped make this trip a reality.
We can't wait to hear about all of the memories and experiences our students brought back with them. ❤️🐾
