Saskatchewan athlete won’t let life-changing injury get in the way of sports
Global News
Logan Edwards hasn't let a life-changing eye injury alter his love and drive to succeed in sports. In fact, he is persevering in them.
Athletes in any sport are gifted with drive and passion for their craft.
That can be said for 15-year-old Logan Edwards from Prince Albert, Sask.
He loves football, baseball, and especially basketball. Yet Logan differs from your regular athlete in one way: he competes with vision in only one eye.
Logan lost vision in the eye after an accident during a baseball game in August 2021. Now he continues to compete in the sports he loves, with protective eyewear.
“I’m not completely blind, but I am legally blind,” Logan says. If he squints hard, he explains, he can see out of the eye.
Brother Aiden says Logan never lost faith in his ability not just to play but to succeed in sports, even after the injury.
“His coach hit a ball up in the air. He looked up and didn’t see that ball, went to catch it and missed. It hit him directly in the eye, causing scarring in the back of his eye,” Aiden explains. “That scarring will never disappear. He won’t see anything but that black in that eye.”
Logan was told he could continue to play just about every sport after the injury. Logan’s close relationship with his older brother Aiden extends beyond from their house. It includes Ukrainian dancing, and the two have also played sports on the same teams.
