BUTLER TWP — Their statistics won't overwhelm anybody. Neither will their games played or varsity minutes.

But Jordan Stutz, Logan and Brayden Koegler were still a part of it.

The three seniors are leaving the Butler High School boys basketball program as part of a class that went 55-19 overall, 11-3 in playoff games the past three years, won a WPIAL championship, appeared in two WPIAL title games, three semifinal games and won a section championship.

“All three have been in this program since third grade,” Butler coach Matt Clement said. “They made us better.”

Stutz played in 11 games and scored eight points this season. Logan Koegler played in 16 games and scored four points. Brayden Koegler played in nine games and netted three points.

Yet all three — along with fellow senior Mattix Clement — were named winners of the Stutz Award at Butler's boys basketball banquet Sunday night. The award — named after Golden Tornado graduates Joel and Jace Stutz — goes to the player exemplifying courage, leadership, attitude, spirit and strength.

“Jordan was named one of our captains and he took that role very seriously,” Clement said. “He was vocal in practice. He led by his effort.

“All three of those guys never gave up trying to get on the court, trying to get more minutes.At the same time, they lined up against our starters in practice and pushed them, played physical against them. We needed that physicality and they gave it to us.”

Clement described Logan Koegler as “the perfect Connor Lyczek,” the Seneca Valley standout who he imitated in practice while the Golden Tornado prepped for the Raiders.

“He was physical like him, took the ball to the rim like him, was hard-nosed like him,” Clement said. “Our regulars faced that kind of intensity in practice every day. You know it had an impact on them.”

Jace Stutz coached the Golden Tornado freshman team this season and helped out with the junior varsity.

“They wanted to play more. Everybody does,” he said of the trio. “Those guys worked and played harder all the time, trying to make everybody better.

“I'm proud of my brother's attitude this year. I saw him come into a game, hit a step-back three ... I was pumped. He'll always have our support.

“When we were prepping for Upper St. Clair, Matt had those three guys head the scout team. They learned all the plays USC runs and they ran them against us. We knew they'd run them well and they did,” Stutz added.

Clement said Jordan Stutz guarded Ethan Morton in practice every day last season.

“He took it as a challenge,” Clement said. “At times, Ethan would make him look silly. He didn't care. He knew his role was to make it as hard as he could on Ethan and he took that role to heart.”

The Koegler brothers rank among the top five in their class academically. Brayden carries a 4.4 grade point average while Logan carries a 4.375.

Brayden recalled sitting in the stands as a youngster, watching Joel and Jace Stutz play.

“Those guys were heroes to us,” he said. “We always cheered for those guys.

“We were there when Ethan hit the buzzer-beater at Pine-Richland, when we lost in the (WPIAL) finals to Pine-Richland and Mt. Lebanon, when Luke Patten fell on the back of his head in that playoff game ... and we were there, on the court, when we cut down the nets at the Petersen Events Center after winning the championship.”

When receiving the Stutz Award, Logan Koegler said simply: “Thanks for recognizing what we did.”

That was a lot.

“When you have seniors who aren't going to play much, some games not at all, you can detect resentment or issues. I'm always very cognizant of that,” Clement said. “With these guys, there wasn't an ounce of it, no negativity whatsoever.

“Their parents have a lot to do with that. They raised great kids.”

Stutz is the son of John and Susan Stutz, Brayden and Logan Koegler the sons of Kevin and Nicole Koegler.

“We helped develop some (starters') skills while developing our own,” Brayden Koegler said. “And so many moments ... it was a great ride.”
