That’s well put.
Do you remember a kid that transferred into Logan to play in the early 90s maybe 1991-1992. I was just as small boy at that time so I May have the years Not exactly Rigjt.
The kid last name was Beiting....
Tom Beiting was a tight end for the 1991 Chiefs (class of 1992). That was a really good - close to GREAT - Logan team.
They lost 3 games by a total of 13 points (including a 22-28 loss to Jackson) - and share the league title with Marietta. They beat Chillicothe and DeSales.
Beiting transferred from Wellston according to the Logan Daily News stories from that season.
That team had some famous Chieftains. Josh Jackson went on to kick at Ohio State, Brooks Burris started at tackle and won a Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl at Ohio State, Bryan Lambert was the SEOAL MVP and had a tremendous career at Edinborough College, Ty Veidt was a standout at Muskingum and has become an outstanding NCAA coach (he's at Iowa State now), and Tom Smith went on to play football and throw the discus at Ohio U.
Great rundown Locos as usual.
Yes, Tom Beiting was the name. The 1991 team was special for Logan. Many a times I watched the boys mentioned above for the Bucks on Saturday afternoon and felt “connected” to the game on the tube.
To add to that 1991 Beiting question for you.
Tom had younger brother named Danny Beiting
(which we all went to the same Catholic sxhool).
that transfered the same time Tom did to Logan
His brother Danny went on to play at Jackson. Danny eventually went on play Appy State as a duel football/Wreslrtr. I believe he was An all-American wreslter there.
They both were GREAT athletes. And they May have played against each other In the reference game of Logan/Jackosn. Again I was a young boy at that time and I’m digging to remember the best I can.
To give you a little back story of how the Beiting brothers split. From wellston.
In 1991 Wellston May have had a state championship team. To say they were loaded would be an understatement. Wellston school levy in 1991 did not pass. And the moving began. Tom Beiting to Logan , Danny Beiting to Jackson ,
Shane Busesxher (West Jeff Head Coach) to Westfall , Ryan Reed to Jackson (maybe the best WR to ever play at Jackson) , Chris Martin to Ironton , Stanberry Bothers-one to Gallia , one to Alexander , Kevin and Matt Whetstone to Jackson. Matt however returned to Wellston. And a few other players as well. Forgive me forgetting all of them.
I’m pretty sure that just about all them earned all league honors in the leagues they transferred to play in. The team Wellston had that failed school levy was something else. They were scattered all over SEO and helped some dominant programs.
Was that 1991 Logan/Jackson game on the hill or In jackson ??
