First, congrats to you and the team on the state championship.
Thank you!


You are very active as you not only play basketball, but you also are on the track team and you are on the soccer team. Could you explain to everyone how tough it is to be involved in all three sports and keep up on your schoolwork?

It is very difficult to manage both athletics and academics at the same time. Between 2 hour practice, lifts, extra time put into each sport and school it can become very stressful and overwhelming but you just need to take it day by day.

Of the three sports, which one is the toughest to prepare for?

It was hard for all three… Soccer and basketball with all the foot skills and ball handling but with track and the skill development needed to preform at your highest level.

Of the three sports, which one do you feel you are the best at?

I personally feel I’m naturally best at soccer but I have had the most success in basketball.

As the clock hit triple zeros and you all were officially state champs, what were your feelings?

I was emotional and had to regather myself after crying and hugging my teammates and family.

Over your high school basketball career, who was the best player that you faced in a game, along with the team they played on?

I would have to say Liv Lindeman from Delphos Jefferson. She can shoot from a far distance but is also built to drive and get a lot of baskets down low.

Who was the best team that you faced during your high school basketball career, along with the thing that made them so good?

Minster or Crestview due to the high skill level in each and every player on both ends of the court.  

What will you miss the most from playing high school basketball?

The teammates, coaches, and the community at each and every game supporting me.

What do you feel is the best part of your basketball game?

My 15 footer or my deep range from the 3 along with being able to see the court well.

What has been the best and worst part of the college basketball recruiting process?

Best ~ Getting to know all the coaches and players from various schools.
Worst ~ the time and dedication it takes to reach out to them and go on all the visits.

Would you share with everyone a few of the schools that recruited you?

The two main schools that recruited me were Findlay and Malone.

What made you choose Findlay?

It’s close to home and family means a lot when it comes to their support. Not only that but when I visited I felt a strong connection with the coaches and players.

What is your favorite class or subject?

Lifetime Fitness (strength and conditioning class)

What is your favorite type of music?

Any type of worship or country

Who is your favorite college or pro athlete?

Tara Davis-Woodhall or Sydney McLaughlin. They are both track athletes with a great sense of humor and dedication towards what they do and how they do it.

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...
