One of the state’s most successful young boys basketball coaches is stepping away from the bench — at least for now.
Twenty-four-year-old Logan McLaughlin, who led Fort Fairfield High School to the 2015 Eastern Maine Class D championship and appearances in the Class C regional final in each of the last two seasons, has decided to leave that post after four years.
“I’ve been leaning toward this for a little while. I’ve been getting busy with work and family reasons and thought now might be time to take a little break from it,” said McLaughlin, who helps manage his family’s 1,000-acre potato farm in Mars Hill.
McLaughlin’s Fort Fairfield teams compiled a 69-15 record during his tenure.
The Tigers captured their first regional championship since 1988 in McLaughlin’s first season, defeating top-seeded Washburn 55-41 to capture the Eastern D crown.
