Three Freddies sign their intent for post high school play
You might say that three Freddies had a little more to be thankful for this holiday season as three longtime friends took time on a Tuesday afternoon to sign their letters of intent and pose with family. In a small-town school it is not unheard of to see one athlete a year be fortunate to be recognized and sought after to play sports after high school, but three is not so common.
Poised in front of the FHS Athletic Hall of Fame wall, Nash Cunningham, Ryan Logan, and Matt Smith were serious at times, comedic at others, but very excited about the decision that they made. I took time to speak with each of them about their decision and a little about their future.
Nash will be playing baseball at Ashland University for the Eagles. Ryan Logan will be playing basketball for the Stonehill Skyhawks near Boston, MA. Matt Smith will be playing baseball for Western Carolina University in North Carolina for the Catamounts.
Nash, what made you decide to play baseball at Ashland?
“I really decided after the overnight in Ashland I got to meet a lot of the players and people there, and the coaching staff is great. It was between them and Alderson-Broaddus in West Virginia and I narrowed it down to Ashland.”
Obviously a big difference in travel time between WVA and Ashland, what set the two apart?
“Location played a part in it (my decision), but I really enjoyed Ashland. Its far enough away, but close enough, I’ll be staying on campus.”
Academically what are you looking to pursue?
“Major in business and looking to major in psychology. I’ve always wanted to go into business.”
You’ve had some time in the off season to prepare for your primary sport, what are you looking forward to your senior year at FHS?
“We’re all working hard in the off-season and we started practicing even earlier this year. We are hungry, we want to get a state baseball title our senior year.”
Ryan, talk about your decision to play basketball at Stonehill.
“I wanted to get away. I went there, visited twice andfelt like it was the right one and the right choice. I had nine offers, but the program really wanted me and cared.
Is the distance to the Boston area a concern?
“Its four hours door to door by plane, but I’m sure I’ll be back and sure my family will be up to see me.”
Academically what are you looking at from Stonehill?
“Looking at communications and a business degree. They don’t have a sports management program, so I might try to get that somewhere else.”
Matt, what led you to Western Carolina and your choice in college?
“They saw be play in Cincinnati at a showcase then in Atlanta. Had never heard of them and the coaches there kept after me, so I went for a visit. I fell in love with the place, the coaches are great, the program is awesome, and you can’t get much better of a field, and the mountains are in the background.”
That’s quite a distance; I’m not sure who’s traveling further, you or Ryan. Is distance from home a concern?
“My family was all about it and very supportive, the program really stood out. The games are streamed over the Internet and I’m sure my grandpa will make sure my family gets down there. We have a non-conference schedule and mainly stay south, but my family will be down a lot.”
What are you looking for academically from WCU?
“I haven’t decided on my major yet, but a minor probably in sports management.”
