The Dan Key Agency will recognize top Shawnee County underclassmen throughout the bulk of the 2024-2025 school year.
Here’s a brief look at the accomplishments of Glotzbach and Scott over the past week:

IZZY GLOTZBACH, Hayden
A two-sport fall athlete in golf and tennis, the Hayden junior won championships in both sports last week.
Glotzbach teamed with senior Emily Sheetz to win the No. 1 doubles championship in last Tuesday's Hayden Invitational tennis tournament at Kossover Tennis Center with a 9-7 win over Marysville and she shared the individual title in last Thursday's Seaman Invitational golf tournament at Village Greens Golf Course with a 76, leading the Wildcats to a second-place team finish.
As a sophomore Glotzbach placed ninth in the Class 4A state golf tournament while helping the Wildcats win the state team title by 37 strokes and she also earned a berth in the 4A state tennis tournament.
