BAY CITY–Aidan Day continued his hot start to the season with another hat trick as the Alpena High boys soccer team defeated Bay City John Glenn 4-0 on Thursday.

Day scored three goals and assisted on a goal by Deven Saranen as the Wildcats (4-2) won their fourth straight game.

Wenton Harrison was in net for the shutout and Thursday’s game marked the third straight shutout for Alpena.
