Click Here for Pictures from the Week (Coming Soon)
Another week, another heartbreak for the purple and white. The Logan Chieftains started slow on Friday night, presumably still feeling the effects of last week's emotionally draining finish. Chillicothe on the other hand, came out focused and with high energy, while capitalizing on Logan mistakes and making big plays to build a 21-14 halftime lead.
Logan took the lead 28-21 with only 10 minutes to play in the football game, but the Chillicothe offense which had been almost non-existant the middle two quarters came to life for one final drive. Clint Austin connected with Kevin Bass for a 19-yard TD pass, cutting the lead to 28-27. On the ensuing PAT, a blotched snap was picked up by CHS's J.W. Miller who ran backwards for 20 yards, made a tackler miss, and then ran into the end-zone diving through the last Logan defender, BJ Hughes.
Chillicothe came out hot, and capitalized on a 12-yard Logan punt for the first score in the game. A screen pass to Quenton Upshaw led to the scoring play. On 3rd down, Austin connected with TE Jason Kidnocker from 12-yards out to give CHS th 7-0 lead.
Logan answered, driving 74-yards on 14 plays. The LHS passing game started slow, dropped balls, overthrows, underthrows, but the rushing game paced by Justin Pack moved Logan down the field. Pack capped the drive off with a 2-yard TD run from Logan's power offense.
Chillicothe used a big play to retake the lead. Austin found LB/FB Adam Steele on a little screen pass, that went 78-yards for the TD. Logan defensive end Nathan Wagner seemed to have intercepted the pass, but Steele wrestled it away, broke loose from Wagner, and took off down the sidelines for the school. Logan blocked the PAT, and trailed 13-0.
On Logan's next possession another big play put the Chieftains in a bind. MLB Grant Gibson intercepted Corey Spackey's pass at midfield, returning it 48-yards to put the Cavaliers at a first and goal situation. The Cavs scored on second down, with the speedy Kevin Bass running for the score. Clint Austin socred on the 2-point conversion attempt, beating Patick Howe to the endzone.
Like last week, Logan fough back before half time. The passing game, expecially Spackey-Hughes got back on track after the interception. Those two, as well as Justin Pack runs moved Logan down the field. Inside the 10-yard line, BJ Hughes lined up at TE for Logan and caught the first TD pass of his career from 10-yards out. Spackey's pass was perfect and Logan cut the lead to 21-14 following Poindexter's PAT.
Logan played better football in the third quarter, as the defense dominated the Cavaliers. A Grant Gibson fumble set Logan up for their game-tying score. Kevin Call scored from the 1-yard line and Poindexter's PAT tied the score at 21.
Logan ended the third quarter with another big play, digging deep into their play book, a half-back pass from Kevin Call was caught by Kratzenburg was taken 71-yards to set up a first and goal for Logan. Spackey and Hughes connected for the tiebreaker, and Logan led 28-21.
The Cavaliers didn't roll over, and retook the lead. Logan got two posessions after losing the lead, and on the last posession the two-minute offense drove to the Chillicothe 37-yard line. Several deep passes were broken up by Chillicothe defenders to save the victory.
Corey Spackey had another solid outing for LHS. Spackey completed 17-31 passes for 130 yards and two TDs. Justin Pack sparked the ground game for Logan, especially in the first half. Pack finished with 81 yards on 22 carries with a TD. BJ Hughes had another huge week receiving. Hughes caught 9 passes for 55-yards and 2 TDs.
