Student-Athlete Of The Month: Logan Sabo

Logan Sabo only recently decided what he wanted to study in college. But his educational career has helped him establish principles and rhythms that will serve himself and others long after his time at Broadneck High is done.

The senior has dabbled in a variety of things and had his fingerprints on seven programs this academic year: three honors societies, the ambassadors club, orchestra, and the Bruins’ baseball and swim teams.

Through all of that, he maintained a 4.0 unweighted GPA (4.49 weighted) and has accepted a spot in the honors college at Auburn University, where he will study aerospace engineering.

“Math and science has always been my thing, but as I moved through high school, I had no idea what I wanted to study until the middle of last year,” Sabo said. “I took AP Physics (as a junior) and I think that’s the best class I’ve taken in high school, the most fun I’ve had and the most I felt I got out of a class, and that sparked my love.”

Though Sabo didn’t know it, the groundwork for studies in engineering was laid long ago. His father, a mechanical engineer, works for himself, so Logan grew up around it. Couple that with an entrepreneurial spirit of his own and, along with some disciplines started long ago, he’s well on his way.

He’s an officer in each of his honors societies: math, Spanish and science. He plays the cello in the school orchestra, and he played a support role at first base and in the bottom half of the batting order for Broadneck’s state semifinal team.

He reads every night — Tolkien’s “The Two Towers” is on his nightstand currently — and balances his time, dedicating it to school, sports, and the business he runs with younger brother Liam called Bay Hills Mega Men, through which they do local services in the community. If he had more time, Sabo would learn to cook beyond a proficient level.

Between donating a portion of business profits to support the Light House shelter in Annapolis and volunteering his time at Tyler Heights Elementary School, Sabo is stretching himself well beyond simply rescuing wide throws at first base.

“This year has been a little time-consuming. I’ve been able to manage it, but I think I’m doing the perfect amount of things to balance sports, school, clubs and everything like that. I want to start developing consistency for college,” Sabo said. “My goal was to do a wide variety of things because I’m trying to explore what I want to do. With that variety, I can specialize now that I’m ready to move on, but I was just looking to get into everything that I could.”
