What are your goals for the 2024 season?

I want to have an undefeated season and go deep into the playoffs. 

As I watched your hud package, I was impressed by the way you are willing to block when the ball is not coming your way. Is there a college or pro receiver that you molded that part of your game from?

I wouldn't say that I molded it from any college or pro receiver; it just comes naturally to me.

Also, from your HUD package, you seem to enjoy playing on special teams; how difficult is it to give 100% on that part of your game?

It isn't difficult for me because in the middle of the game, my adrenaline is pumping, so it's pedaling to the medal the whole time.

Football, soccer, or track: how long have you been in each sport?

I have played football and soccer since I was 5, and I just started track in 7th grade.

How did your track and soccer seasons go?

They both went well. In track, my PR for long jump was 17 feet, 5 1/2 inches. I want to get that to 19 feet this upcoming season, and in soccer, I had a couple goals and assists. I want to get both of those stats in double digits this season.

If you could pick one college or pro player to train with, who would it be?

I would say Travis Hunter, because he could teach me stuff on both sides of the ball.

What do you believe the strongest part of your game is?

I think it is because of my knowledge of the game that being able to read and see what is going on during a play is a big part of my position.

Which game are you looking forward to the most this season?

Unioto is a huge game at the end of the season and could determine who gets the gold ball.

What has been the highlight of your athletic career so far? Any sport at any age

So far, I would say the president's cup for my club soccer team this past spring, representing the whole state of Ohio, would be the highlight of my athletic career so far.

What has been your most embarrassing moment as an athlete?

I would say the dropped picks I had last season were really embarrassing.

Where should the state finals be held?

I think the shoe would be a great place to hold the state finals.

What weather do you like playing in the most?

65-degree weather is partially cloudy. not too hot, but not too cold either.

Favorite energy drink 

C4 starburst or skittles flavor depends on the day.

Outside of sports, what are you doing for fun?

Riding four-wheelers kayaking and hanging with friends and family 

What is your favorite type of music?

I listen to a whole bunch of different stuff. I don't have one favorite type.

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...
