What game are you looking forward to the most this season? Explain

I’m most excited for our homecoming game against Watkins. Watkins is always a tough team, and our home game atmosphere is always awesome, especially for Homecoming.

What is your most memorable moment as an athlete, in any sport, at any age?

My most memorable moment so far would probably be our playoff win against Tri Valley last year.

What makes being a student-athlete at Granville High School so special?

The friends and community, along with the success we have together, make playing for Granville great. I’ve grown up playing with my current teammates, which is something I’m very grateful for.

How did your track season go?

This was my first year running track, and I did better than I expected. My main goals were to have fun and get faster, both of which I was successful at.

Track or football—which of the two are you hoping to do in college?

I’m looking to play football in college, more so than track.

Who is the one teammate who is most likely to do something to get a laugh from the team when things are a little tense?

Michael Carr.

Which teammate is the toughest to face in practice?

Dylan Layne is a really hard worker and is always tough to go against.

Who is the best player that you have faced in a game, along with the team he played for?

Tavien St. Clair QB for Bellefontaine was good both times we played him.

How important is it to you to earn an invite to one of the all-star games after the season is over?

My focus is on the season itself, but if I received an invitation to an all-star game, I’d definitely play.

Why should a college coach recruit for track or football?

I’m strong, fast, physical, and a hard worker.

Are you hearing from any colleges? If so, would you name one or two, along with the sport they are recruiting you for?

I’ve heard from some schools, such as Heidelberg and Kenyon, about football.

What is the one thing you want to do in a game but most likely will never have a chance to do?

I’ve always been a defense-first player, so catching or running for a touchdown would be pretty cool.

Have you been to any sporting events at Denison University?

I’ve been to a few baseball games.

Where is the best mom-and-pop place to grab a meal?

The Lot in Granville

Semi Pro: Columbus Fire 8 Port City Spartans 0 (Game called in the third because of fighting)

Image
  Yesterday I drove to Portsmouth and met up with my friend Bill Norman after dinner at The Portsmouth Brewing Company before driving over to Spartan Stadium to watch the semi-pro football game and watch the Port City Spartans host the Columbus Fire. I have been to over 1,500 football games, or close to that amount, and I can say none of them prepared me for what I ended up seeing. The stadium had one set of lights that did not work at all that I had seen before (Jackson State University). One pole had a light missing, and another pole had one single light that did not work at all on the visitor's side, making the field dark. I saw a fan on the Spartans side of the field standing with the players vaping, and I saw a player setting on the bench for most of the game also vaping. The game itself was stopped once when the refs walked off the field for what one player on the Spartans said was because a Columbus player said something about going after the ref with a gun. Then a fight bro...

  Logan Doughty Miller High School Quarterback, free safety 2025 6,2 170 lbs What are some of the awards you have won or earned? Two times first team all MSL, two times first team all district, two times honorable mention all Ohio What were the high and low points of the 2023 season? I’d say a high point would be doubling our wins from the 2022 season. Some low points would be losing three close games that would’ve given us a higher seed in tournament play and not being able to win a playoff game. What are your personal goals for the 2024 season? 1,500 rushing yards and 1,000 passing yards, 25 rushing touchdowns, and 15 passing touchdowns. How long have you played football, along with the reasons you continue to play? I have been playing football for 11 years. Football clicked as soon as I put the pads on; there’s something about it that I can’t get enough of. I’d say the reason I continue to play is my love for the game. Who or what got you interested in playing footb...
