On November 2nd, 2015, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette was running to make a play on punt coverage against the Dallas Cowboys.

Ten years ago, Logan Seelye was a star football player for Spanaway Lake High School. He played running back and safety, one of those guys that everybody figured would play college ball. He had the feel for the game that coaches love. His teammates voted him team captain as a sophomore. Boise State and the University of Washington were interested.

Drastically, the big football season our high school was anticipating was put to a halt. On the last day of summer football camp, Logan made a tackle that left him paralyzed from the chest down, and was a result of a spinal cord injury. Fortunately, he had an extremely supportive family and an amazing girlfriend (now his wife) who would be there every step of the way as he continues on his journey to walk again.

In the days before the injury, Logan Seelye’s cares were typical for a 16-year-old boy. The junior-to-be at Spanaway Lake High had a driver’s license to obtain, a girlfriend to date and independence to achieve. On July 2, Seelye suffered a broken neck at a Central Washington football camp in Ellensburg. On Oct. 15, Seelye pulled himself up from his wheelchair and steadied his frame.
The play should have ended practice, not his dreams

The play was supposed to finish Spanaway Lake’s defensive series in a scrimmage against Redmond; it finished so much more. The Redmond quarterback could not have known the chain of events he would set in motion as he lined up under center, hollered a snap count and released 22 teenage lives to the mercy of God.
