Dick and Carol Logue
If you were a high school basketball fan of The Big 30, Olean NY Times Herald Circulation Area, during the mid-1960s, you knew the name Dick Logue.
Dick played for the small school located in Austin, Pennsylvania, and was a scoring machine. One year being the top scorer in The North Tier League and finishing second among The Big 30 Schools.
During a review of newspaper articles my mom, June McCloskey and Kay Stuckey had saved for me during my time at Austin High School, I found numerous articles on our local basketball and baseball teams.
Dick Logue's name was listed in most all of these basketball articles. Below are some of those articles:
One of the most exciting games ever played on the Austin High School Basketball court: Logue would score 29 points.
Dick would begin his long coaching career at the Austin school with the junior high boys. He would become the Boy's Varsity basketball coach for a number of years and finish his career as the girl's basketball coach.
Dick would be a mentoring force in many young peoples' lives throughout his time as a basketball coach at the Austin High School.
Today, if there is a basketball game here in Austin, it's most likely you will see Dick and his wife Carol in the stands rooting for the Austin Panthers.
