As the dust settles on the hardwood floors of the WHS gymnasium, where Sean Logan once dazzled crowds with his skills that he spent many hours in the driveway of his home sharpening, a new chapter unfolds for the basketball star at Davidson University.
After a sensational senior campaign that saw Logan dominate the court with over 450 points, 236 rebounds and a staggering 179 blocks, the young athlete has transitioned seamlessly into the realm of collegiate sports.
Now donning the colors of the Davidson Wildcats, Logan has not merely adapted, but has begun to carve out his own niche in the competitive world of college basketball.
Standing tall at 6’10” and weighing in at a solid 220 lbs, Logan’s physical presence commands attention on the court. Logan attests to the college weightlifting programs, citing that “I came in (to college) being pretty skinny, but with a college food and weights program it definitely helped me put on a good amount of weight, helping me put on about 15 lbs.” But it’s not just his stature that catches the eye; it’s his skill, determination and work ethic that set him apart.
Only a freshman, Logan initially found himself coming off the bench, a transition that can be challenging for any player accustomed to being the star of their high school team.
However, true to his nature, Logan embraced this role with determination and humility, eager to learn and contribute in any way possible. Despite limited minutes, his impact was felt, with flashes of brilliance that hinted at the potential lying beneath the surface.
Fast forward to his sophomore season, Logan’s hard work has begun to pay dividends. No longer content with a reserve role, Logan has earned multiple starts for the Wildcats, a testament to his growth and development since arriving on campus.
What sets Logan apart is not just his impressive statistics or physical attributes but his unwavering commitment to excellence. His high school accolades may have garnered attention, but it’s his work ethic and character that continue to impress those around him.
Whether it’s staying late after practice to work on his shot or providing leadership in the locker room, Logan embodies the values of a true team player. “Sean is a super hard worker, and was a great teammate and role model for anyone who wants to get better at what they do,” said former teammate Theo Sica.
But perhaps most impressive of all is Logan’s ability to stay grounded amidst the whirlwind of collegiate athletics. Despite the pressures and expectations that come with playing at the Division I level, he remains humble and focused on the task at hand: “It’s a lot sometimes, seeing my friends all come home for winter break and my teammates and I only get two days at home, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. I love the team and the program and I love all the work to get better.”
For Logan, it’s not about personal accolades or individual success; it’s about contributing to the team and striving for collective greatness. “It’s definitely hard sometimes, but I know it’s a process, so I have to focus on that aspect and put my head down and work,” says Logan.
As Logan continues to make strides in his collegiate career, the Westfield community watches with pride, knowing that their hometown hero is leaving his mark on the national stage. While his journey is far from over, one thing is certain: wherever he goes, Logan will always carry with him the spirit of Westfield and the lessons learned on the WHS basketball court.
