This player appears to have just gotten onto the recruiting websites and started the process this season.
He has also been totally overlooked and DENIED the proper respect, and credit for his talent and accomplishments this kid is a natural! I found links on the web to his highlight videos on NCSA, Maxpreps and Hudl these videos show he has so obviously earned and deserves the recognition. It also appears he's been below the radar of College Recruiters due his lack of exposure on any recruiting sites until late this season as well as the Overlooking & Denial of credit for what this player has accomplished VS. his competition in this conference comparing the stats and watching some of his highlight videos there is no comparison which is a pretty huge deal!
Per Maxpreps:
He's a 225 lb Sr. DT DE
Last year &this year he lead his team and holds the record for sacks all done in 8 games played last year and 9 this year.
He is ranked out of all grades as the #10 DT in the Nation.
NC 4A Schools for all grades he is ranked #1 at DT & DE in the State.
Per Maxpreps 4A Mid-South Athletic Football Standings,
The four players who made the Defensive line First Team total tackles are (60,44,63 & 42) Their solo's are (18,9,15,&21)
on the Conference Tackle ranking list these four players are #27, #44, #24 and #46 on the list yet they are 1st string.
Three of the first team players were in 10+ games, Logan played in 9 games
Logan is the #1 Conference Sack Leader with 14.
Logan is ranked #17 in tackles, he has 82 Total tackles 69 of them Solo (13 asst.
Another Player to not get the credit he deserves for first team is Overhills Jersry #42 Jadin Jones Sr. LB. Jadin is #6 in the conference with 113 total tackles, 84 Solo 29 assist and 2.5 sacks.
Both of these Overhills Starting Defensive players stats are better than those of the players who were chosen for 1st. team.
Any body have any Idea HOW & WHO picks and decides on the players for the all conference teams? When you look online at NCprepsports.net It says its the "Cumberland County Schools High School Athletic Web Site" Listed on the home page is a link to the Mid-South All Conference Team I can find no other source on the web to the All Conference Team other than though their web site and it is "ONLY" Cumberland County Schools and their Coaches listed.
There are 7 teams in the Mid-South Athletic Conference : South View, 71st., EE Smith, Jack Britt, Cape Fear, & Pine Forest. Overhills is the ONLY school in this conference that is NOT in Cumberland County. Since Overhills is the "odd Team out" of the county so to speak did/do any of their coaches have a say in the selection and if they did it seems no one listened or cared.
I'd agree there definitely IS Something NOT RIGHT about his not being on the 1st team perhaps even the Defensive Player of the year! He has several pictures by the Fayetteville Observer on their site, he has write up in an article and a video clip on High school OT making a Fumble Recovery TD.
Is there ANY reasonable answer to why he has better stats (During Conference Games too) for his total tackles, his solo tackles and his Sacks IE: being the conference sack leader yet only makes 2nd string?? Even If his team didn't do well in the conference this kid rocked it better than his competition who's teams who won more games in conference. IS IT NOT THE INDIVIDUAL PLAYER Based on HIS PERFORMANCE who is supposed to get the recognition to be chosen for the 1st team, the 2nd team or honorable mention??
Any one can can see if they Look online and compare his Stats and watch his game footage it speaks for itself of this kids talent. It is an outrage to see players with lesser overall statistical accomplishments get undeserved accolades and scholarship opportunity VS. The kids who played better and the stats to show it where is their credit?
Why should any player who earned and deserves his place have to suck it up and deal with "Well Kid Tough Break Better Luck Next Time"
How Does a wrong like this get made right for these players? What happens for any future nominations or selection such as ALL State is that left in these same coaches hands?
