SpEiis-Etanal [joifetilim? When I was a student at Logan the basketball team practiced in the basement of the old high school. The ceiling was so low that you could touch it, but we had to make do with what we had. Such were the remarks of a Logan High School graduate as he reminisced of his athletic days at LHS. All available records indicate that the athletic program at LHS began in 1909. At that time, football, bas- ketball, and baseball were the only sports offered. The games were played very primitively compared to standards of today. According to Mr. Barton Holl, a 1909 graduate of LHS, In football the only pads that you were given were the ones that were sewn into your pants. If we wanted shoulder pads, we had to make them ourselves. No one could afford to buy them at that time. There were no helmets either. If you had a good head of hair, you were a lineman, if not, you were in the backfield. Basketball had a rough beginning at LHS. Besides practicing in the basement of the old high school, their games were played on the sec- ond floor of the building where H S Firestone is today. Unlike today, there were no time-outs. The clock ran continuously throughout the game. With this, and the fact that the ball was jumped for after each goal, one can see why the scores were so low. The 1909 basketball team had the privilege of playing McArthur, the state champions of that year. The game was played in the McArthur gymnasium. In one cor- ner of the court stood an old pot- bellied stove. This presented quite an obstacle to the teams playing, so they did the only obvious thing; they built a chicken wire frame around the stove. Even this did not help the Chieftains, as they lost, 60 3. Basketball was discontinued in 1919 because there were not enough young men to make a team after the war enlistment. It was not reinstated in Logan's athletic pro gram until the 1924-25 school year. The track program was added to Logan's sports activities in approxi- mately 1912. Track was cancelled in the early 1930’s because of the Depression. It was not reinstated 14 Sports Feature until 1956. It then took only two years to rebuild our track team to one of the best in Southeastern Ohio. The Southeastern Ohio Athletic League was formed in 1925 with Logan being admitted to it that same year. Little changed in Logan's athletic program for quite some time. Then in the 60’s and 70’s a nationwide trend hit Logan — girls' sports. Girls who had previously been play- ing such sports as badminton intra- murally were now competing at basketball and track in league play! The athletic program at Logan is still growing. Tennis which was played at LHS in the 20's was renewed. Wrestling and girls' vol- leyball were also added to Logan's athletic program. The newest sport to be offered at LHS is gymnastics. This event, made popular by the attention it received in the Olympics, is in its first year at Logan. TOP: Sophomore linkster, Dave Vaughn drives another fine shot to the green. CENTER: The Athletic Hall of Fame, formed in 1976, honors those former sports greats from the annuls of LHS history.
