A MESSAGE FROM THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
A Message From the Athletic Director
Wow, what an amazing ending to the 2023-2024 school year from an athletics stand point. Our spring sports teams and individuals did not disappoint and were recognized both as teams and individuals at the state level. We had teams win FML Championships and Regional Championships. Congratulations to all of our athletes and their parents for having such an amazing year. The work that I see our student athletes put in on a daily basis absolutely pays off!
With that said, to compete at a high level the training has to be done throughout the year, not just during season. I'm a firm believer that great players are made in the off season. Even though I know a lot of our programs are doing summer training now, please don't forget that you are only a kid once and it is okay to take some time for yourself and do family things. Communication with coaches regarding time missed is key! Enjoy your summer and it won't be long before August 8th is here and we are at it again!
Enjoy and Go Eagles!
Yours in Educational Athletics,
Pete Gleason

Meet Linden's New Boys Golf Coach - Brad Tankersley
I graduated from Flushing High School, class of 2007. I went to college at Mott, Central Michigan (Bachelors in Psychology), and Um-Flint (MBA-Finance and Bachelors in Mathematics). For the last 4 years I have taught math and coached basketball and golf at Kearsley High School. I have been around the game of golf my entire life. I learned the game by playing with my father and on junior tours growing up (Flint junior and Top 50) as well as playing for Flushing High School all 4 years. I have continued my love of the game by playing throughout my adult life for fun in leagues and competitively in tournaments throughout the state. I look forward to working with Linden High School and its wonderful community to help teach and inspire the students to realize their full potential. In golf, such as life, every challenge is an opportunity, every failure a lesson and every success a glimpse of our potential.
