2023 Outlook
As the 2023 football season approaches, the Logan Wildcats are gearing up for another season under the guidance of head coach Gary Mullins. With the departure of 18 seniors from last year’s team, the Wildcats find themselves relying on a young and inexperienced roster. However, Coach Mullins remains optimistic, believing that his talented group of players will rise to the occasion and make a mark on the field.
Leading the Wildcats’ charge will be a handful of key players who possess the necessary skills and leadership qualities to guide the team. Wide receivers Rylee Jones and Chance Lewis are expected to provide a spark on offense, utilizing their speed and agility to create scoring opportunities. On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Kieran Tolliver and defensive lineman Landon Moore will anchor the unit, bringing a combination of strength and tenacity to the field.
While the team may be young, a group of promising sophomores who possess remarkable talent. Defensive lineman Rob Ball, linebackers Preston Kovach and Braxton Wolford, and running back Caden Justice are all expected to play crucial roles in the Wildcats’ success. With their determination and natural abilities, these rising stars have the potential to make significant contributions on both ends of the field.
The quarterback position remains up for grabs as Drew Berry and Adam Baisden compete for the starting role. Both athletes have shown dedication and a strong work ethic, vying to lead the Wildcats’ offense. As the season progresses, their performances in practice and pre-season games will undoubtedly shape Coach Mullins’ decision.
Although the team faces challenges due to its relative lack of experience, the goals for the Logan Wildcats remain unchanged. Winning the County championship, achieving a winning season, and securing a spot in the playoffs continue to be the primary objectives. The coaching staff is instilling a sense of belief and discipline in the players, emphasizing the importance of teamwork, perseverance, and continuous improvement.
As the Wildcats take to the field, fans can expect an exciting and dynamic brand of football. The team’s youthful energy combined with the leadership of key players and the talent of rising stars promises an exhilarating season ahead. While challenges lie in their path, the Logan Wildcats are determined to overcome them and make their mark in the 2023 football season.
