Congratulations to our September Athletes of the Month, Olaisa Moss and Joe Furlan. I was waiting on the new shirts to get done, so sorry for the delay. Olaisa has had an awesome start to the season. She has finished in the top 10 in every race so far but more impressive has been the mentorship roll she has provided to the freshman on the team. She goes on long runs with them and keeps their spirits up during hard practices and leads by example in every way. She is everything you want in a leader. Olaisa is also very involved in the Christian Fellowship group after school. Joe has been an amazing senior leader for the undefeated cross country team this season. He has won all 4 of his races and his served as a mentor to the younger runners on the team. He also serves as a volunteer firefighter for Columbia Township.

Tonight's volleyball match between Bloomingdale and Bangor at 5:30pm has been cancelled. Bloomingdale will advance to the district finals game tomorrow night (Thursday) at 5:30pm @ Bloomingdale vs the winner of Gobles and Holland Black River being played at 7pm tonight. I am working with GoFan (the site you purchased your tickets from) for refunds for the Bloomingdale vs Bangor game scheduled for tonight. If you want to attend the game tomorrow (code will go out tomorrow morning), or the second game tonight (go to this link-https://gofan.co/app/events/140672) you will have to purchase a new ticket.
