He has a scholarship to play at the University of Michigan next year . . . and he has 11 touchdowns this season. (--St. Clairsville is 130 miles south of Cleveland.)

He ran 52 yards down the sideline, with no one on the other team in position to stop him. But then Michael slowed down and STEPPED out of bounds at the one-yard line.

Logan's father died two days before the game . . . and the team decided to give him a chance to score a touchdown for his dad.
