Congratulations
Bloomingdale Public Schools!
Bloomingdale Middle and High School was named an Academic State Champion by Bridge Magazine
for 2014. Out of 630 high schools in the state of Michigan, Bloomingdale Middle and High School was
ranked 11th based upon the standardized test scores of our 9th and 11th graders over the past three years.
Bloomingdale Middle and High School were ranked 5th among all of the schools across the state classified
as “rural” schools, and they are the #1 ranked school among all schools in southwest Michigan!
Bloomingdale Public Schools was also ranked in the top 6% of school districts (K-12) in the state
according to a similar Bridge report, released on February 3, which ranked all school districts in
Michigan.
To determine the winners, Bridge partnered with Public Sector Consultants, Inc. (the state’s leading public
policy research firm) to develop a value-added ranking system which measures a school’s test scores
adjusted for student family income, which is often a predictor of academic achievement. Essentially, Bridge’s
Academic State Champions are recognized for over-achievement, rather than pure achievement.
For a complete list of all Michigan school rankings visit www.bridgemi.com.
Congratulations Bloomingdale Public Schools’ students,
staff, parents and community members 2014 Academic State Champions!

free throw shooting proved to be too
much. The final from Bloomindale
was the Lady Cardinals 45 and the
Lady Tigers 53. The girls played a
great game and moved the ball very
well offensively but came up just
short. Brandie Robinson scored 21
points, Jordan McNees 14, Sophia
Rodas 4, Heather Davis 2, Chelsea
Harrison 2, and Hannah Harris 2. The
ladies take on Kalamazoo Christian
at Hackett Catholic Prep on Monday
night for the first round of Districts.

Jeremiah Durian 112 lbs.
Varsity Cardinal WrestlinG
nio Salinas and Jeremiah Durian both
took 1st place and were regional champions!! Come support the boys as they
travel to complete against the division 4
top 16 wrestlers in the state of Michigan.
The State Championships will be held
March 5th, 6th, and 7th at the Palace of
Auburn Hills. GO CARDINALS!!
Middle sChool WrestlinG
The 2015 Bloomingdale middle
school wrestling season has come to
an end. Each athlete had awesome
individual seasons, but the area they
excelled, was improving as an overall
team. Our top wrestlers had an amazing season while our novice wrestlers
made huge improvements in their
skills. Each wrestler showed improvements in their wrestling ability as well
as their mental toughness and overall
character. The Cardinals had a fantastic season teaming up to win 36
matches!
The Team MVP Award goes to 7th
grader Carlos Garcia who had a 13-1
record. The Most Improved Wrestler Award goes to 7th grader Charles
Seese and the Cardinal Award goes to
8th grader Jacob Hammond.
The middle school wrestling team
made huge improvements and will
continue looking to build and become
a bigger and better program. Go Cardinals!
The middle school wrestling team is
coached by Jesse McDonald and Brian
Norman.
Varsity Boys BasketBall
The Cardinals had a rough stretch
with 3 straight games without having a practice. Friday night (2/13) we
travelled to Martin where we had a
poor start yet a very good finish but
it wasn’t enough to get road victory...
Tre’Jaun Smith was our leading scorer.
On Monday (2/16), we had a make-up
game at home with Bangor. This time
we had a great start but not close to the
finish, we expected and ended up on the
wrong side of the game. Austin Martin
was our leading scorer. On Tuesday
(2/17), Saugatuck came to town and
played a very complete game against
some pretty tired Cardinals...Austin
Martin was our leading scorer. Then
Gobles came to The Nest (2/24/15) for
our final North Division contest of the
season. Competitive game for 3 quarters but the 3rd quarter was our undoing...Tre’Jaun Smith was our leading
scorer. Please come out and support
your Bloomingdale Cardinals!

the entire night were: Parris Johnson- 4 points, Mattie Moss- 4 points,
Angelica Huntington- 4 points, Hannah Morse-5 points, Isabella Kelly- 6
points, Katrise Hudson- 12 points, and
Bailey Robinson- 14 points. The 7th
grade Lady Cardinals finished their
season with a record of 2 wins and 7
losses.
8th Grade Girls BasketBall
The Bloomingdale Middle School
eighth grade girls basketball team finished their season this week. They end
with a record of two and seven. Not
exactly what anyone would call a winning record. But over the course of the
season this team made huge strides in
every area.
The seasons end came at Bangor
with a hard fought loss. The girls put
a great effort. With only seven players able to play the entire team worked
together. It was a two point game going into the last quarter but Bangor
was able to string together a few more
baskets and end with a 7 point victory.
Hailey McCaig, Savannah Ashbrook,
and Nallely Gonzalez had their best
games of the year. Each of them had
multiple steals, solid rebounds, and
strong moves to the hoop. Once again
Liza Hutchens lead the offense and
was very effective on defense. Overall
the team did a great job but just came
up short.
As seasons come and go, often we
look to records or statistics to point
to the quality of the season. In middle school, improvement is a better
judge. Our job is to prepare students
for high school; giving them skills
to work on, fundamental principles
of the game to understand, and confidence to move forward. This group
of girls worked very hard in all areas.
They were coachable which says a lot
about the future of the player. These
young ladies have made us proud and
are a credit to their families and their
parents.

It has been a tough last couple of
weeks for these young Tigers. We
have played our toughest part of the
schedule over the last two weeks.
It all started facing Fennville High
School. Fennville is always a tough
match up. The Tigers came out of
the gate strong posting a 14-8 first
quarter lead. Then the bottom fell
out in the second quarter as the
Blackhawk defense stifled the Tigers taking a 29-16 halftime lead.
The Tigers eventually fell to the
Blackhawks 50-28. Peyten Austin
and Chase Miles led the Tigers with
7 points and 6 points respectfully.
Next up was the Hartford Indians.
A game that we would really like
back. Another touch game for the
Tigers dropping a 43-29 decision.
Chase Miles led all scorers with 12
points.
Our next game was against the
Saugatuck Indians. The Indians
were ready to avenge a previous
season loss to the hands of the Tigers. The Tigers battled hard but
couldn’t get the job done. They battled back to close the score to four
points in the fourth quarter. Saugatuck out lasted the Tigers to win
45-30. Tyler Stedman led the Tigers
with 8 points. Jacob Bolhuis scored
6 points, 7 rebounds and 5 steals.
Travis Chandler had 5 points, 6 rebounds and 4 steals. Kaleb Johnson
had 5 steals.
Tuesday we traveled to Fennville
for a rematch with the Blackhawks.
Stumbling out of the gate the Tigers
spotted the Blackhawks a quick 10
point lead and, the Blackhawks never looked back. The Tigers dropped
another game 58-34. Chase Miles
led the Tigers with 12 points. Jacob Bolhuis had another solid game
notching 6 points, 5 rebounds and
3 steals. Travis helped out on the
boards notching 5 rebounds. He
also had 3 steals.
Only three games left. This is a
group of hard working young men.
They don’t have an ounce of quit in
them. Looking ahead the Tigers are
working hard to finish the season
strong. We will be in Bloomingdale next Tuesday. Friday will be
the conference cross over game.
This game will be home. Opponent
TBD. We will make up our Martin
game on March 3. This will be in
Martin. Come out and support these
young Tigers.

JV GirLs wrap up season
The JV Girls ended their season
this week an overall record of 145. They came up short with a loss
to a good Schoolcraft team. At
times, we played good defense but
couldn't get a consistent offense going. Sam Winne ripped down several rebounds.
Last week, the ladies beat Otsego.
The girls played very well on both
ends of the court. This was the best
game that they played this season.
At one point, the Lady Tigers held
Otsego scoreless for a little over
a quarter. We had several girls in
double digit scoring but along with
that the team took control of the
boards. I am very proud of these ladies this year on the improvements
they made throughout the year. It
was a fun season. Good luck as the
Varsity continues their season.
