 Logan Weber signs his letter of intent to play soccer at Southwestern Oregon Community College in Coos Bay. Weber’s position is goal keeper (goalie). He favors SOCC because they have a strong welding program and that’s the field he’s interested in. In the lower photo he is shown with his parents Jason and Stephanie and his brother Nathan.
