Logan Smith

• I took over a unit of 9 out of 11 players being brand new to varsity football. Out of the nine players, six players had less than two years of playing experience in football, including the QB, who was playing QB for the first time in his career and was only in his second year of playing football ever.
  • Offensive Line averaged 5'11, 245 lbs, and if you were to take out our RT, that number goes down to 5'10, 231 lbs.
  • The 2023 season garnered the best offensive statistics since Coach Winter's takeover in 2021. 13 out of 18 categories improved, most notably being TDs Scored, Yards Per Play, and TD/Turnover Ratio.
  • Predominantly coached Skill Positions due to quality coaching shortage. QB/WR/RB/TE... One player was selected on the Region 7 All-State Team (TE), and another was selected all Marian County (RB).
  • Improved the record for the second straight year and achieved the school's first playoff win in 6 years. 2-Fall Break wins also, which is a bigger deal than what it seems like with us operating in the inner city.

• I was hired as a TE's coach for the 2022 Season. Old OC leaves in late July, pushing Brandon (HC) to Active Play-Caller. I was the number two Coach on the Offensive side of the ball when it came to game-planning and constructing offensive game plans.
• We originally built the offense around a strong-arm QB who would transfer one week before school started, which forced the reconstruction of the offense right before the season.
• Brandon relied heavily on my ability to read defenses and relay possible play options based on defensive alignment and specific game plans. This resulted in me calling plays around 40-50% of the time running the Check-With-Me system.
• I led a massive team initiative with the Hornet Advisory Board when team culture was at an all-time low because of the abovementioned events. After Cascade's loss, there was much doubt in team structure, and the help of the "Hornet Advisory Board" I created helped level some of that to push through to an improved record from the previous season.
• In my two years with the offense, we improved in 17/18 different offensive categories that we measured success on.
• I was promoted to OC at the end of the season with the selling point of running a more efficient offense.

• I was hired as an Operations Intern in 2021 when Brandon Accepted the Job.
• In Charge of All Film Operations, All Hudl Input Breakdown, and making sure practice was set up for coaches to coach. Being a middleman between the players and coaches was another part of the Job.
• I took it upon myself to integrate Hudl Sideline with End-Zone to have footage during the game, and it was my responsibility to upload and send the film to the next opponent after the game.
• I primarily worked on the Defensive side of the ball during my first season with the DBs.
• Brandon noticed my hard work throughout the season and during Sunday Meetings. Eventually, he bought into my character, which led to me being hired as a Varsity Assistant the following season.
