Logan Churchill of Moundridge was chosen as the Salina Chamber Athlete of the Month. Multiple accomplishments have come Churchill’s way, including first team all-league and honorable mention all-state. 

“It feels good to be posted,” Churchill said. “I know the work that I’ve been putting in for years is going to pay off.” 

Basketball season didn’t end for Churchill, as he worked over the offseason on both the offensive and defensive side of
the ball.  

“This summer I was playing as much basketball as I could and always getting shots up and improving my game,” Churchill said. “I really wanted to improve my defensive ability and quickness. I also wanted to improve ball handling.”

While winning is one of the biggest goals of the season, Churchill has also prepared himself to have the best senior year possible.

“This season I want to have a great senior year and win tons of games,” Churchill said. “Our team’s goal for the season is to make it to the state tournament and hopefully play in the championship game. My personal goals for stats would have to be averaging a double.” 

Churchill’s favorite basketball moment was one that went down in Moundridge history, going into multiple overtimes with Inman High School.

“My favorite basketball memory was going into four overtimes against Inman my junior year,” Churchill said.

Hoping to continue his basketball career after graduation, Churchill also has high aspirations for his future and education.

“After high school, I plan on playing basketball somewhere in college,” Churchill said. “After college I plan on joining the US Army. For my career, I would like to be a Physical Therapist or a Physical Trainor.”
