14 schools november21 2013 VHS Fall Sports Wrap Up continued from page 12 entire team.” Medaris also worked hard and earned the “Most Improved Runner” award. Football- This year’s Logger football team, head coach Gordon Jarman, and his staff faced a lot of adversity. Trouble with players being ineligible, moving away, not turning out or having health issues not related to football led to a very thin and inexperienced line. This also forced the cancelation of the JV season. On the up side, it allowed several freshmen to earn varsity playing time and varsity game experience. The team ended the season with a 1-8 record overall and a 0-5 league record. “Our players practiced hard and competed hard,” said Jarman. “Although wins and losses do not show it, we were very close to winning four games on the season.” Untimely turn overs, failure to score when in the red zone and giving up a few big plays resulted in the Loggers ending up on the losing end in several games. Some standout players for Jarman were Jared Whitton, who was a team captain and played on the line and always gave his all when playing. Ronnie Maldonado was also a team captain and two way starter who was the best receiver and also played corner back on defense. Maldonado caught several touchdown passes including a seventy yard bomb against Gaston in the last game of the year that gave the Loggers a lead. He was selected as a Second Team All League receiver. Tim Jennings was named honorable mention all-league at quarterback. Jennings, the team leader and an excellent quarterback who has a great football mind and really understands the game, was named team MVP. “All of our seniors will be missed and will be hard to replace, however Tim’s shoes will be extra hard to fill at that position,” said Jarman. Outstanding players returning next year include Reed Jones at outside linebacker, a Second Team All League selection and the team’s Most Inspirational player, and Damian Young at tight end and punter; Young was named First Team All League at punter this season. Zane Green was a two way starter all year at running back and linebacker and Justin Wolf was a starter on the offensive line. “These four athletes were selected as team captains for next year and will be leading the charge for the 2014 season,” said Jarman. Jarman is also looking for freshmen Brett Elliott, who was named Most Improved player, Jake Butcher, Bailey Morrison, Justin Fletcher and August Johnson to play a leading role on the team next year.
