Awards won or earned: Team All-District, 1st Team All-Central Buckeye League, Central District Defensive Player of the Year

What were your feelings as you walked off the field the last time as a high school football player?

I was very emotional because it hit me that I just played the last snap of my high school career. There is nothing like playing on a Friday night with your friends and your community behind you, and I realized those nights were over, but I made a lot of memories over the last four years and knew even though it had come to an end, it was all worth it.

What was your personal biggest moment on the football field?

Picking the ball off against Columbus Academy, week 10 of my senior season, to seal the game and win the CBL championship.

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

Grady Kinsey, Indian Valley

Who was the best team that you played against, along with the things that made them so good?

Bishop Watterson, they were a complete team. They didn’t lack skill or talent in any aspect of their game.

What are you going to miss the most about playing high school football?

I am going to miss the feeling after a win, celebrating with your school and family after home games and with your teammates on the bus back home after away games, knowing you did all that you could to win.

This past season, you had 124 tackles to go with being named the Central District Defense Player of the Year. Congratulations on both.

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

Play recognition

What mark do you believe that your class left on the Ready Football program?

My class left a mark of resilience because, as juniors, we experienced an almost perfect regular season with great wins, but as seniors, we started the season off slow, and many doubted our chances at a conference championship and if we were even going to make the playoffs. Halfway through the season, we turned it around, won back-to-back conference championships, and played in the playoffs once again.

What did you learn about yourself this season that you will use at the next level to be a better player? ,

I have learned that I can be a positive impact on the team not just by improving my abilities as an individual but also by also improving my abilities as a teammate. This would include having a positive attitude, being vocal, and making the players around me better because of my actions on and off the field in good and bad situations.

How is the recruiting process going?

Great, I have just committed to Ohio Dominican University.

You play football, basketball, or baseball. Of the three sports, which

Which one do you feel that you are the best at?

I am the best at football.

What is your favorite subject or class?

Physics

What is your go-to snack?

Peanut butter sandwich crackers

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...
