2011 PIEDMONT DISTRICT CHAMPION - REGION IV "AA" Hwt 285

The Piedmont District Championship match was held Saturday, February 5, 2011 at Martinsville M.S.  Logan, a Freshman, entered the tournament seeded 2nd behind #1 seed & rival Zack Jennings (Sr) of Martinsville H.S.
After receiving a 1st round bye, Logan took on Jordan Blankenship (Sr) of Patrick County H.S. and pinned his rival in the First Round.

The Championship Match, against #1 seed Jennings, went the full 6 minutes, and resulted in a 9-1 decision in favor of Logan, resulting in the Heavyweight Championship title. A feat that has not been accomplished before by a Freshman wrestler in the Piedmont District.


Logan takes his Freshman year record of 18-6 into the Group "AA" Region IV Tournament this weekend, Feb. 11th & 12th, hosted by Grundy H.S. against some tough competion, all of which in his weight class are upper classmen.  If Logan can finish in the Top 4, in the regionals, he will qualify for the State "AA" Tournament in Salem, Va. February 18th & 19th.

His confidence has not waned, as he certainly plans on competing in the State Finals, this year.
