Mike London's UVA "Big Man's" Football Camp June 19, 2010

" IMPRESSIVE - EFFICIENT - EFFECTIVE"  are only a few appropriate words to describe this camp!
An estimated 275 Big Man High School players were in attendance ranging in ages
from Freshmen to Seniors!

A solid 4 1/2 hours of coaching fundamentals of football for high schools grades 8-12 this past Saturday at University of Virginia - Mike London's "Big Man's" Football Camp in Charlottesville.

Logan weighed in at 6' 0", 250 lbs. and not only matched his colleagues in size but also ability.
The day consisted of 7-8 training stations manned by not only UVa football staff but also college coaches from around the country from such notables as University of New Hampshire, Brown,Cornell and high school head coaches from around the state
Both offensive line & defensive line sessions were held, players chose either one or the other for the day. During the morning session, players ran through the stations, twice, ending with a offensive vs defensive competition to showcase what they had learned during the morning session. The same scenario was repeated in the afternoon session. It was simply amazing to watch how players progressed in applying the techniques learned from the morning session to afternoon session competitions. Physically exhausting to all in attendance, in the 90 degree heat, all walked away with skills that will be used throughout their football career.

Injury sidelines Logan for 4-6 weeks.


Logan suffered a broken tibia, in a match at Franklin County's Crowley Memorial tournament on February 27, 2010. First thought by doctors as a torn LCL, the MRI revealed a "chicken foot" type break in the upper tibia where the LCL connects. The injury will keep him sidelined for 4-6 weeks and as a result he will not be able to attend the NHSCA Nationals, this year, which is scheduled for the end of March in Virginia Beach. Logan placed 2nd in the nation at the National Tournament last year.
The break, is considered the lesser of the two evils, as far a injuries go. The break will heal faster and will hopefully not have the long term effects as that of a LCL injury. He will remain on crutches and continue to weight train his upper torso, until his injury heals and can continue with his weight lifting regimen.
