Two Logan players make all-state

Two Logan players made the all-state team in eight-man football, including one at three positions.

Park Strong made the first team as a punter, placekicker and outside linebacker. Teammate Nick Brown earned a first-team spot as a running back.

On the second team for the Longhorns were Brown at defensive lineman, Wyatt Wright at defensive lineman and Ryan Fair at inside linebacker.

Logan (6-5) finished third in a district that included the state champion and runner-up. The Longhorns advanced to the state semifinals, falling to Tatum.

The other first- and second-team picks came from Melrose, Menaul, Tatum, Mountainair and Mesilla Valley.

The eight-man football all-state selections were announced Saturday by the New Mexico High School Coaches Association.
