2015 Logan @ Athens

[moonshine]

Will have a prediction Monday Aug 24, 2015 and it will surprise everyone!

UPDATED!

[LHS 72]

Look for a very bland jamboree game tonight! The kids are really focused on the bulldog's

[C-Bolt]

The most recent post on the Generals over on the MVL has them way down and 2 of their best players hurt,so Logan should win handily is that's the case.

[noreply66]

Never count those Generals out.

[TRENCHFOOT]

Is Paul Culver still head coach over there? If he is I wouldn't bank on an easy win, injury's or not.

[noreply66]

What is the name of the boy that came in from S. Carolina for Logan?

Athens has run out of move in O.U. coaches sons and now must rely on local "native" talent. We all know how well that worked out for them, leading them to run to the "minor leagues". Athens get to win some games in their "minor league" but reality awaits in the SEOAL. 8)

Not really, OU's offensive coordinator has a sophomore that plays QB. Know you can't wait to hate on A town after they proved you wrong so many times last year.

[vctransplant]

Hate to say it but I'll take Logan in this one. Will be close.

Athens wins this and I'll give you the reasons why but let me first add this caveat---it should be a close game and with two evenly matched teams manned by 15,16, and 17 year olds (18's will be rare in an August game) anything can and probably will happen. hahaahah

1, It's at Athens and the home field matters

2, Athens has a coaching staff that has proven they can come up with schemes to win big games

3, Athens is used to winning---Logan not so much. Athens Sophs, and Juniors have never lost a regular season game and the Srs. were Freshmen and separate from the

varsity the last time Athens lost during the regular season. Gallia 3 years ago now.

4, The final reason is success breeds success---if you are a Soph. at Athens you have 5 more weeks of practice than your Logan counterpart--Jr's 8 weeks, and the Srs. 11.

Let that sink in, Athens Srs. have had an extra season of practice and games compared to Logan. I think that will matter.

Fortdawg -

Those are all great points - except for maybe #1. I believe in all sports "home field advantage" is largely overrated.

Logan fans know how much being "used to winning" matters. We had that 5 years ago - and for a decade had a TD lead against nearly every opponent just because of confidence.

And I've often talked about the importance of postseason practice for underclassmen.

Will be a tough task to take down the Bulldogs.

how did Logan look tonight?

how did Logan look tonight?

Logan turned off the dogs after a 14/00 1st Quarter lead.

Burk must have played everyone tonight after the 1st.

[Raider6309]

Sounds like Athens and Logan looked good. Should be a great game and hard hitting. Athens looked bigger but still needs to clean up some stuff on offense and defense

[TRENCHFOOT]

I look for a good one. All eyes and ears will be paying attention what happens the 28th in the plains for sure.

[loganlocos]

Logan led 14-0 after first quarter, and 14-7 at halftime.

Logan scored on a long run by McBride and a long pass from Little to Smith.

Sheridan put a couple nice drives together in the second quarter, getting stopped on 4th down and scoring late in the half.


Sheridan's JVs dominated the Logan JVs in the 2nd half - coming from behind to win 27-20.

[LHS 72]

Defense is still in need of some work, BUT this Friday night might be a shootout just like last years Logan v Lancaster game BUT this time LOGAN WINS!

[1987chieftains]

5 days and counting.

[moonshine]

The medicine man cured old moon just in time! The bullpuppies will score there share of points, but the Chiefs should dominate the game, Early week prediction:

Chiefs 42

bullpuppies 27

[Orange and Brown]

MOON IS CURED!!!
