Logan, a four-year letter winner and four-year Southwestern Conference selection for the Redbirds, also was selected for the SWC’s all-academic team. He and Spain became the first Redbirds to reach the state quarterfinals.
Logan said he is looking forward to his first season as a Trailblazer. His brothers Robert and Chris also played for the college as did his mom, Theresa.
“Tennis is a very important part of my family,” Theresa Logan said. “My parents started playing and all nine of their kids played too. It is fun to see the next generation take a big interest in the gift my parents gave us all. Lewis and Clark is an awesome school and has been a wonderful experience for the Logan boys. I am excited that Patrick, like his older brothers Robert and Chris, will continue the family tradition of tennis at L&C.”
