Today is the first day of preseason practice for Brookville’s (Lynchburg, VA) varsity football team. With 18 returning starters returning including quarterback/athlete Logan Thomas , rising junior tight end/wide receiver/defensive end Zack McCray and offensive tackle Devin Bolling, head coach Jeff Woody is anxious to get the season underway.

“We’re just going to keep on doing what we’ve been doing,” said Woody, whose team captured the Division 3, Region III championship in 2007.

There are many talented players returning for the 2008 season, headlined of course by Thomas, the 6-6, 225-pound rising senior who is one of the top athletes in the country. Coach Woody expects his star senior to become less visible on the recruiting trail now that preseason practice has arrived.

“Logan’s going to throttle back here a little bit and focus on Brookville football,” Woody said. “Logan is just being Logan right now. He knows he is the one being sought after, so he is content with where he is right now. Then again, he could come in tomorrow and say he is ready to make a decision.”
