Dave flew out to Pittsburgh and then drove to Buckhannon on Monday, October 30th.
He was able to see Logan that night and take him to dinner.
Then they FaceTimed us to show us Logan's single dorm room.
(Presley's room is definitely lots nicer).
Logan had classes throughout the day and Dave took him to breakfast each day, hung out in Westin and Buckhannon, shopping and walking the campus, and watching his final practice and home game.

Warming up for the final home game, which ended in a tie.
They couldn't have a practice on Thursday but Logan and another goalkeeper got in a workout.
Dave texted me the playoff match ups (they ended in 5th position), and I wasn't sure if he'd be able to leave knowing there was a game.
They lost the final game in a double overtime, 49 seconds left until penalty kicks, when the defense couldn't clear the ball from the box and it landed right at the forward's foot.
He had several saves this game, and two amazing ones in overtime! Him and Dave were hoping it would go to penalty kicks, I was not hoping for that.

What a ride it's been!
(Dave was with Rylan at a basketball tournament in Portland but was able to watch in between games)
