Kentucky's fastest growing bank in the financial services market rendering a truly "Revolutionary Service" to all of its customers

Now that is a freshman season!

Logan Smith is a very unassuming looking guy, especially for a linebacker. However, one can’t always judge a book by its cover and Logan Smith had a tremendous freshman campaign this past season. Freshmen are had to evaluate as they are still very much subject to physical progression. It should be fun to see what this guy grows into down the line.

Independence Bank is proud to sponsor a weekly article highlighting players in the areas where Independence Bank flourishes who embody the same type of revolutionary service to their respective football teams which has made Independence Bank unique and special in the banking industry.

This prospect has accomplished incredible feats both on the gridiron and in the classroom and carries the physical characteristics of a superior athlete, particularly for his stage of physical development.

Logan Smith…upper-level, football IQ

Fletcher Long, KPGFootball Senior Sports Writer

Logan Smith possesses an upper-level, football IQ. That may result from being reared in a football family. He has a football coach in the immediate family.

We will be the first to tell you this young freshman isn’t close to achieving the physical prowess we will see from him once he matures. Smith is listed at 5’10,” weighing a slight 151-pounds.

His thin build didn’t impact his performance over his freshman campaign. Smith, a freshman playing 4A football, registered 58-tackles (led his team), a QB-sack, and 2FR’s over the course of the ’22 season. Those are very good numbers for any freshman, varsity football player.

He has some “other” notable numbers. Not all of them are related to football either. Smith is also on the Track & Field team as a sprinter.

Smith runs the 100-meter in 12.29-seconds. Smith long jumps 18’3.” Smith carries a 3.5 GPA.

Smith’s 12.29-second, fully-automated 100-meter time is 4.9-5.1-seconds in the 40-yard, fully automated

Now for those of you who don’t know, track events are lazer-timed (fully automated) and the 100-meter time converts to an estimated 40-yard dash time. Smith’s 12.29-second, fully-automated, 100-meter time equates to a 40-yard dash run in the neighborhood of 4.9-5.1-seconds.

That is pretty fast for a 5’10” ninth grader. His time will get faster as both his squat max and power clean increase.

Congratulations to Logan Smith for his “Revolutionary Play” over the course of his freshman campaign. Good luck to Smith over the next three years as he continues to fight to improve the fortunes of his school’s football program.

We maintain his play this past year easily earned this magnificent freshman this week’s recognition from the fastest growing bank in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, our friends at Independence Bank.
