Week 1- Special Teams Player of the Week

Our Player of the Week posts are designed to recognize the top kicking and punting performances of the week in Minnesota at the High School Level.  We'd also like to recognize the top performances of some of our student athletes that we've helped train at the Collegiate, Youth and Middle School Level.

In the first full week of play for most high school football programs, we saw a lot of great performances. There were a number of stand out performances, but nothing stood out more than Logan McElfresh Brainerd High School in MN.  Logan kicked 9 PATs, 1 punt for 49 yards, as well as 1 Field goal which made him the top kicking point scorer in Minnesota.
