Volleyball is usually a sport where the tallest of the bunch are recommended to play. However, that didn’t affect senior setter Logan Luna. Standing around 5’7, he’s constantly underestimated by his opponents who serve as his motivation to win.
From the moment he stepped into South Windsor High School’s gym freshman year, Logan was intrigued. The energy and athleticism he brought to the game quickly caught the coaches’ attention. More importantly, Luna has a very strong understanding of the game, ultimately earning him a spot with varsity as a bench player during the state tournament run.
“Basically I came in freshman year expecting nothing but a side hobby, but I was hooked from day one,” Logan Luna told The Prowl.
Sophomore year for Luna brought yet another opportunity as he joined Husky Volleyball during the winter season, taking on a “swinger” role. This only fueled his motivation for improving his craft as he continuously grew at his role.
Nonstop training allowed Luna to excel, and by his junior year, Logan Luna had earned the role of varsity captain and starting setter for the South Windsor Bobcats.
While this was a great moment, it was also a huge test. The team was in a rebuilding phase and ended the 2025 season with only three wins.
Despite such a poor season, Luna didn’t let the losses end his chapter. Instead, he stayed committed to leading the group, keeping morale high even when results didn’t go their way.
During his senior winter, Luna decided to step away from Husky Volleyball to pursue another passion, hockey. Next to volleyball, hockey is one of Logan’s most loved sports and was looking forward to the winter season. But the experience wasn’t what he had entirely hoped for.
The team struggled, losing more and more throughout the season, highlighting a difficult year. For Luna, this experience made him realize that volleyball was his main pride and passion.
His focus quickly darted back to the spring season, where he would return in his final year as a senior to give it everything he had.
“What separates Logan is his mindset,” Senior Kevin Senh told The Prowl. “He may not be the tallest on the court, but his explosiveness tells a different story.”
Despite only growing by a small amount throughout his high school years, Luna can still touch over 10 feet on his vertical, exceeding expectations for people at his height.
Entering the final stretch of his high school career, the Bobcats Volleyball team narrowly missed the CCC tournament, they are using that as fuel for the State Tournament. The group has spent the extra week of training grinding, endlessly.
For Luna, every practice and every game matters, and the goal is simple: Keep winning, and keep proving other people wrong.
