Logan competed in this National pre-season tournament  in the HWT 285 division consisting of 29 HWTs from around the country this past weekend in Greensboro NC.

This proved to be an exciting display of some awesome High School HWT talent.

Logan was one of 5 sophomores competing in the field of more experienced upper classmen, but managed to hold his own and made it to the 3rd round to compete in the

FINAL 16 pairings on Sunday, only to sustain a disappointing  3rd round loss by a 1-0 decision to Sam Rodgers of Wellington H.S. in Ohio.

Invaluable experience was gained and new friends made in this championship tournament, and made us all proud with his Intense Competitive and Sprited performances in all 3 of his matches...below are videos from his first two matches. (unable to video his 3rd match)

Experience gained he is looking forward to returning for his Junior and Senior years !

Logan Wins " Border Clash " 2010 Heavyweight Championship

The 2011 "BORDER CLASH" wrestling tournament held at Magna Vista H.S., January 22nd, included 15 Teams from Virginia & North Carolina.
Logan secured the Heavywieght Tournament Championship with a decisive 34 sec. pin over the McMichael H.S. opponent. 
The championship improves Logan's (freshman year) Varsity record to 12-5 for the 2011 season.

The Martinsville Bulletin article states.."Magna Vista wrestling coach Zeak Ca’stle had no expectations that his heavyweight, Logan Turner, would make it to the tournament final. After all, Turner is just a freshman. Thirty-four seconds into his final match, Turner made it quite clear that he belonged.That’s how long it took for the freshman to pin his opponent to win his weight class in the Magna Vista Border Clash on Saturday, putting an exclamation point on a third-place finish for the Warriors in the 15-team tournament in Ridgeway.
