The 1971 Logan Baseball Team, coached by Mr. Bill Leonard, may have had one of the most thrilling seasons ever experienced by a coach or athlete at Logan High School. The regular season of play ended with a dismal 4-7 record. However, when the state baseball tourna- ment play began, Logan put all their talents and skills together to build a team that would become the W.I.A.A. State Baseball Champs. Logan opened the district tournament by defeating the cross-town rival Central. They went on to overcome Westby and Cashton at the regionals. A smashing vic- tory over Ithaca and Sauk Prairie at the sectionals en- abled Logan to go on to the State Baseball Tournament at Marion, Wisconsin. Pete Kohnert pitched an outstanding game at the opening tournament to overpower Chetek 8-0. When Logan was behind 8-3 in the last of the 7th inning against Beloit Memorial, the impossible was accom- plished when Logan defeated Beloit. La Crosse Logan then became W.I.A.A. State Champs 1971 when they overpowered Chippewa Falls in the final game.
