Hi-Line Athlete Profile: Logan Huebsch, Havre High Volleyball

When it comes to volleyball, Havre High senior Logan Huebsch has been around it pretty much all her life. But now, after playing the sport for as long as she can remember, she is getting ready to take part in her final season as a Blue Pony.

Huebsch has been around the game for so long, because her father, Bill Huebsch coached it for so long.both as a high school and college head coach. Her sister, Madison also played for the Ponies, while her younger sister Devyn Huebsch is in the HHS program with her now.

Yet, during her first three years at Havre High, Huebsch has made her own name athletically. She burst onto the scene as a freshman on the track team and participated in the 100 hurdles at the Class A state track meet. Huebsch is actually a three-time qualifier for the state track meet and this past season, she helped score points in three different events.

She placed individually for the first time in 2017 in both the 100- and 300-meter hurdles, finishing sixth in both events. She also helped the Havre girls 400-meter relay team finish sixth. But Huebsch said she has always enjoyed volleyball.

"I have been playing volleyball for a long time; I don't even know how long," Huebsch said. "I can remember playing around with the ball when I was little. But I like track, too. It probably just depends on the season."

Last season was the first for Huebsch on Havre's varsity roster and her first season didn't disappoint. She finished eighth in the Central A in terms of aces per set and also finished 10th overall with a total of 26.

Unfortunately, the Ponies struggled to get into the win column a year ago, which is something Huebsch and HHS are hoping to change this season. With head coach Tamecia Jarvis back for another year, along with a senior-laden roster, Havre is optimistic about the season to come.

But you never really know how good you are until you play someone else. The chance for the Ponies to do that will come this week, when HHS will travel to Glendive for the Eastern A Tip-Off Tournament. Havre will open group play at noon Friday, before taking part in a single-elimination tournament Saturday, which will be seeded based off how teams do in group play.

Huebsch and the Ponies have a long trip ahead of them, heading all the way to Glendive, but before hitting the road to start the season, the Havre Daily News caught up with the senior for five questions.
