Holy Cross Alumnus Bridges Gap in Youth Football

Logan Silver ’15, who majored in Spanish and played safety on the football team while at the College of the Holy Cross, has found himself drawn back on the field he loves as a youth coach for the South Boston Pop Warner football team.

According to an article by the Boston Herald, Silver and fellow coach Rob McCourt are bridging the gap between the old and new south Boston rivalry. Silver says the experience to work with children has been “humbling,” recalling his own life being raised by a single mother, where she “closed every gap.”

“By the time I got to Holy Cross,” Silver noted, “football had become kind of a job, the thing that was helping to pay for my education. But being with these kids and working with them, coaching them, has brought back all the joy of the game for me. I’ve sort of come full circle, all the way back to those memories of my mom tossing the football to me at tryouts.”
