Logan was quick to pass
the credit when discussing
his success, “I would like
to thank all my coaches for
pushing me to where I got
and my parents for always

about dual sporting, he said
“make sure you can handle
being tired all the time and
always stay on top of your
homework”. Great advice Lo-
gan and congratulations on a
fantastic senior season!
