Furlan Commits to SVSU Bloomingdale Senior Joe Furlan took a big step last week as he committed to Saginaw Valley State University to further his academic and athletic career. Joe will be majoring in criminal justice and minoring in emergency management, and he will be a member of the school's track and cross country teams. This commitment is the culmination of years of hard work and dedication not only to Joe's efforts in the sport of running but also to the academic and extracurricular activities he has pursued outside of sports. Joe is a certified firefighter and member of the Columbia Township Fire Department, his experience in this area is what led to his interest in the criminal justice and emergency management field, which he plans to work in once his running career is finished. His athletic achievements in Bloomingdale are vast and impressive. He currently holds the school cross country record with a time of 16:28, and has set his sights on setting records on the track this coming spring. He is a 4 time first team all-conference runner, a 2 time regional medalist, and he was the first Bloomingdale cross country runner to earn all-state honors, doing so at the end of his junior season. His coach Alan Bobalik said "Joe has been an absolute joy to have on the team these past 4 years, he was a great leader and his effort everyday is what led to this great college opportunity. Students in the community should look at Joe as an example of what can be achieved through hard work."

We are looking for more boys that are interested in playing middle school (6th-8th grade) basketball. We would like to have 2 middle school teams. They practice tomorrow from 1pm-3pm (which will be the normal practice time). The season will be done prior to holiday break. If interested reach out to Coach Kidder or Coach Douglas for more information.
