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.
