Q&A With Penn Junior Logan Rumble

Image
At 5'8"/145, Logan is committed to play softball at Northwestern University. She is the first such athlete I have interviewed with connections to such a prominent D1 school in the Big Ten. Possessing noteworthy power for the largest high school in all of Northern Indiana, Logan currently holds 27 doubles and 11 home runs through two prep seasons along with a career batting average of .431. She provided some rather creative answers here... What is your favorite movie? Logan:  " McFarland, it's a great story! Definitely underrated sports movie. " What is your favorite food? Logan:  " I love all Mexican food. It's definitely a favorite in our household. We are really close with our next door neighbors, and we go out with them all the time and Mexican is a popular choice.

Q&A With LaFargeville (NY) Senior Emeline Barton

This one was conducted back in October, and Emi has continued to light up scoreboards both before and after this particular interview. LaFargeville Central School is located just west of the Adirondack Mountains, and Barton holds the school's all-time career scoring record for both boys and girls. Emi made seven three-pointers in a blowout of Sackets Harbor on Dec. 5. Even when not scoring in big numbers (she has games of 45 and 34 points this season), Emeline has continued to find ways to remain productive, as she went for a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds at Oriskany/Westmoreland last Saturday... What is your favorite movie? Em:  " I like Despicable Me, because I think it's funny with interesting characters. " What is your favorite food? Em:  " My favorite food is strawberries. I like any kind of fruit, but strawberries are the best! " Who is your favorite athlete? Em: " This is probably really generic, but I love Caitlin Clark because I ...
