Bennington’s Logan Gillett is walking into his senior season hungry for a postseason run. The first team all-league defensive lineman returns for the Bulldogs.
“I am most excited for the group of guys we got,” Gillett said. “We have one great group of guys with a ton of skill. It’s just about figuring out how to use it and I think we will get it done. Senior year is also a great excitement for me because it’s one last chance to showcase everything I’ve developed since little league football.”
Gillett spent the offseason training every aspect of the sport with countless coaches and trainers.
“I’m preparing for the season mentally by just emphasizing every single rep and making every moment count,” Gillett said. “I needed to work on my pass rush from last year and I have been able to improve in that area with the help of some very important coaches.”
Gillett also knows that being a senior means leadership, and he’s ready to step into the role and do anything he can to push the Bulldogs to a postseason run.
“Obviously my most important goal is for the team to be successful and to do whatever it takes for the team to achieve greatness,” Gillett said. “Personally I have a goal of 50 plus tackles this season with seven plus sacks. We unfortunately did not make it past the first round last year with a lost Hoxie, so I want to make a very heavy playoff push this year as a team.”
