What is the toughest part of being a freshman starter for a big school like Dublin Scioto?

Meeting expectations set by my coaches, team, and myself

What is the best part of being a freshman starter for Dublin Scioto?

Getting to play with an amazingly talented established team and being led by an experienced coaching staff (all former college softball players).

How long have you played softball, and who or what got you started?

I have been playing softball for 10 years. My dad first signed me up for tee-ball and then coach pitch. When I started pitching on my own, I realized that I was good at it and decided to stick with it.

What are your goals for the season?

1. Winning an OCC conference championship with my HS team; 2. Improving as a team. 3. >150 SO 4. Becoming a team leader

How many pitches can you throw, and do you use them all in the game?

I think I spin the ball to all four quadrants while effectively locating them and with a change of speed to complement them. Our catchers are consistent and strong behind the plate, which always makes it easier as a pitcher.

So far this season, who has been the best team you have thrown against, and what made their hitters so good?

Hilliard Davidson, a lot of experienced players with discipline at the plate

For you as a pitcher, what is the best and worst weather to play in?

Best: sunny with a breeze, Worst: rain

Pitcher or first base, which one do you feel you are better at?

Pitcher, because I've been doing it longer and put more effort into it.

What is the strongest part of your game?

My ability to spin pitches and the deception it causes with batters.

Which part of your game as a young player do you feel you need to improve the most?

Working through and overcoming challenges in the moment of the game. My teammates and coaches are very supportive, so that helps.

Is there a big difference for you when you are throwing to a left-handed or right-handed hitter? Explain.

Whether right- or left-handed, all batters are unique and have to be pitched to as such.

Of the games remaining on the regular season schedule, which one are you looking most forward to? Why?

Playing against Delaware Hayes—they have many experienced players and are very competitive.

Who is your favorite athlete?

NiJaree Canady, softball pitcher for Texas Tech

What is your go-to snack?

Fruit

What is your favorite class or subject?

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...
