MLIVE Players to Watch for the 2019 Season – John Glenn High School Kennedi Hardy, Leah Lesczynski and Brianna Woods were all named to the “Must See Players” in Bay County MLIVE list. Lee Thompson writes the following on each-

Kennedi Hardi- “When there are ducks on the pond, nobody sends them flying more than this hard-hitting junior. In her first two varsity seasons, Hardy tallied an incredible 97 RBIs during regular season play. Now she finds herself at the heart of order that may give her even more run-producing opportunities. A versatile athlete, she can play first base, third base, pitcher and catcher as needed for the Bobcats.”

Leah Leszczynski- “The quiet leader of the Bobcats, she lets her play speak loud and clear. The kind of player who has a hidden competitive fire, she isn't afraid to get her uniform dirty by diving for balls at shortstop or swiping second base. The table-setter for a potent lineup at the leadoff spot, she batted .385 a year ago and often found other ways to get on base. With speed to burn, she stole 14 bases last season. She now begins her fourth season of varsity action.”

Brianna Woods- “Now in her third varsity season as a junior, Woods is the cog that makes the Bobcats go. She stands at the heart of the action both as the ace pitcher and as the top returning hitter. She batted .409 with two home runs and 26 RBIs a year ago. She continues to evolve as a pitcher, where she notched 12 wins and 111 strikeouts as a sophomore. Not the most overpowering thrower, she hits her spots and has movement on every pitch, continually frustrating batters.”

MLIVE Baseball Player to Watch for the 2019 Season – John Glenn High School Lee Thompsons writes the following of Rory O’Hare – “When it comes to injecting a dose of excitement into the game, O'Hare delivers right from the get-go. The ideal leadoff hitter with a knack for getting on base, he's the kind of player who creates headaches with his speed and heads-up base running. A talented shortstop, he possesses a game sense that multiplies his skills whether he's playing football, or baseball. He ranked among Bay County leaders a year ago with 31 runs scored and 12 stolen bases. He is making a much- anticipated comeback from injury this spring after missing the fall and winter sports seasons.”
