Go Chiefs!
Moon I have to disagree with you over the "numbers" game,Lancaster has a little over 200 more boys than Logan,but if you look at Logan's schedule look at how many schools are on their schedule that have far less boys than Logan, especially Nelsonvile and Loudenville,we can't use that as an excuse if these other teams can do it,I understand Lancaster is probably a little more physical than your average team, but like trench said injuries can and will happen at any time not just one game,also their were quite few boys already injured and standing on the sidelines with just their jersey's on before kickoff last Friday,so we can't blame that on Lancaster! We can't be that picky about who we schedule with this diminishing League we in now,it would be nice to just get anybody anytime to play, but it takes years to schedule these games and the other team has to be willing and able with their schedule.moonshine wrote:The numbers of students in the school system tells the story! What good is a game when your team loses its starting QB for likely the rest of the year, come on man! Like I said b-4 Lancaster is to big, to strong, to fast and to good! Tell me why we want to get our kids beat up and start almost every year with a loss! It must be $$$$$$$
Let me start by saying that I respect the Logan fans on here for their passion and dedication to their team but the only reason I can see to keep this series alive is for the potential gate. I'm not trying to be a smart @!% when saying this but what is the difference between not competing and losing in week 1 vs week 3? If you aren't able to compete it doesn't really matter when you play. To me the kids in the Logan program need some confidence more than anything and they can't build any confidence in those type of games. A schedule change could certainly help not only the kids on the field but the overall vibe and feel of the community. I know many Logan fans in the last few seasons were hesitant to change anything (except the coach) hoping for a quick return to glory but lets face it, right now the schedule doesn't need to get the team playoff ready. A change would likely get more kids out to play and just as importantly more fans in the stands! Logan football games in the not to distant past were packed with people wearing purple and white and winning will get them back in the stands and in line at the concession stand. I'm not suggesting playing a terrible schedule, but they don't have a need to play any D1 schools, there are plenty of D3 and D4 schools in the area that would be much more fitting at this time. Just my opinions. Good luck to you and I wish the best for your program in the future.noreply66 wrote:I would stay with Lancaster, put them at the 3rd game
Bolt , I respect your opinion, BUT The Lancaster's Pick North's and the likes of St Ed's are out of our class! lets play against schools and programs we can compete with year in and year out. And yes we need to drop Nelsonville and why in the hell we scheduled Loudenville I fail to understand the reasoning unless it was the last opinion! One last number! Logan has 49 young men on the team with a few freshmen included! Lancaster has 79 young men on there team. Now we have beat this into the ground let's move on to Teays Valley!C-Bolt wrote:Moon I have to disagree with you over the "numbers" game,Lancaster has a little over 200 more boys than Logan,but if you look at Logan's schedule look at how many schools are on their schedule that have far less boys than Logan, especially Nelsonvile and Loudenville,we can't use that as an excuse if these other teams can do it,I understand Lancaster is probably a little more physical than your average team, but like trench said injuries can and will happen at any time not just one game,also their were quite few boys already injured and standing on the sidelines with just their jersey's on before kickoff last Friday,so we can't blame that on Lancaster!moonshine wrote:The numbers of students in the school system tells the story!

Lhsfan97, I bleed purple but I agree with you 100%. It would be foolish to drop Lancaster from Logan's future schedule. Looking at Lancaster's Schedule and the enrollement, Canal Winchester is smaller than Logan and Newark has about the same as Lancaster. Newark is on Logan's schedule but don't here anybody complain about them. :122245lhsfan97 wrote:I find it funny how Logan fans are using enrollment as an excuse for dropping Lancaster from their schdule.

Looks like Lancaster plays a team this week with 479 more boys than them.
The Cheiftains shouldn't look at dropping a team because of losing to them most years. They should figure out how to get better to beat them. If you can't beat an average D1 school there is no way you ever compete in the D2 playoffs.
They will if Nerk keeps beating themTrenchfoot wrote: Newark is on Logan's schedule but don't here anybody complain about them.
