Post a small recap of last season with personal highlights and any other big moments you have and memories you have from last season, whether it be a game, the bus ride to or from the game, or any other thing that sticks out.

Last season we started off hot, going 3-0, then we battled injuries throughout the season, finishing 4-6. A big memory from last season was playing against Washington Courthouse and having 3 interceptions in one game. The whole game and the bus ride home were electric!

What are you going to miss from the 2025 class?

I’m going to miss the bonds that I created with my teammates the most. It was awesome to come out with them every day, and I’m going to miss that.

What are your goals for the season?

My major goal for this season is for our team to get back to the success we’ve had in the past.

Heading into this season, your final high school football season, have you approached things any differently than in the past? Explain

I feel like I’ve approached this season a little differently. I know that this is my last opportunity at Western Brown, and I want to make the most of it.

What was the highlight of the 2024 season?

The highlight of last season was starting 3-0 and having fun with my guys on the field.

What was the low point of the 2024 season?

The lowest point in the season was losing some of our key pieces to injuries. It was a difficult adjustment at some points.

What makes you a good teammate?

The way I lift up my teammates and get them back on track is what makes me a good teammate.

Would you rather play your rival in week one or end the regular season with them?

I’d rather play my rival at the end of the season for sure. I want us to be at our best for the game.

When the team is having a bad practice, what are the first words out of your coach's mouth?

The first words from Coach Osborne are usually “Pick it up.” That’s our warning to fix what’s going wrong that day.

What is the best part of the first day of practice?

The best part of the first day is being able to get back on the field as a team and get ready for the upcoming season.

How do you get over a bad game?

I will watch the film the next morning and reflect on what happened and where I went wrong, then fix it during the next week of practice.

If you are invited to play in any of the all-star games after the season, will you?

Definitely, I feel like that would be a great opportunity to experience!

Would you share with the readers some of the colleges you are hearing from?

I have received offers to play at McPherson College and Marietta College! I have been talking to Centre College, Taylor University, Thomas More University, Tiffin University, the University of the Cumberlands, Gannon University, Saginaw Valley State University, and Lindsey-Wilson College.

Where is the best local spot to grab a pizza?

My favorite local pizza place is definitely LaRosa's.

What is your favorite class or subject?

My favorite class has been my entrepreneurship class.

What is your favorite energy drink?

I don’t drink energy drinks, but my favorite drink is an Arizona half-and-half tea.

Can you tell the readers what makes it so special?  Harrison Central Stadium is a very special place; it holds a lot of memories for me and the guys that I’ve worked beside through my high school career and before that. Friday night home games are even more special thanks to the help of our fans and the community, who always support us no matter what. They make the memories more fulfilling. We are extremely grateful and blessed for the stadium we have and are proud to play football where we play it.  How long have you played football, along with the reason you continue to play?  I’ve played football since I was in 3rd grade.

  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.

It’s been great. I’ve been focused on earning trust and building chemistry with the team. When you met your new teammates, what was the first thing that you said to them? I told them I’m excited to be a part of something special, work hard, and help the team win. What do you believe the strongest part of your game is? I think my ability to stay balanced, whether that’s making the right throw or using my legs when I need to help the offense stay moving. How would you describe your style of play? I’d say I’m a gritty, poised quarterback who’s good at pocket passing but not afraid to put my shoulder down to get an extra yard. What have you done during the off-season to better your game? In the off-season, I focused on gaining weight, improving m...
