Season Comes to a close with dominating performance by Hilliard Davidson

By Spencer Waugh
Hilliard - Like 31 other division 1 playoff teams in Ohio, Logan's season came to a close with a loss.  The Chiefs ran into a buzz saw in Hilliard where the Wildcats put on a clinic of power football and capitalized on Logan's mistakes to run away with a 38-8 victory.

Running Backs Bo Delande (118) and Clay Trubiano (109) each ran for over 100 yards while junior quarterback Connor Deitz added two touchdown passes to push Davidson passed Logan in a Division One, Region Three quarterfinal from Hilliard.

Logan could manage just 36 yards and 1 first down during the first half of play and when the Chiefs gave Davidson the ball inside Logan territory 4 times to start the second half the game got out of hand.

Davidson opened the game with a long drive that consumed nearly 7 minutes from the clock and Deitz connected with JB Strahler on a nice play action pass on fourth down from 22-yards and the games first score.

The two teams traded punts and Logan go the first turnover when Lucas Wright intercepted his seventh pass of the season when Davidson tried a trick play that saw Delande try to connect with Joey Ciamacco.

Logan failed to convert the turnover into points and Davidson drove for a potential score midway through the 2nd quarter.  The drive came to a halt when Colby Catlett failed to connect on a 32-yard field goal.

Disaster struck on the ensuing Logan possession.  What appeared like it could be a close 7-0 halftime game blew up when Ryan Brown intercepted a screen pass from Angle that was intended for Clay Morgan.  

The Wildcats capitalized a few plays later when Delande scored from 5 yards out on fourth down.  Catlett's PAT made it a 14 point game.

The Wildcats dominated the third quarter, putting up 21 easy points utilizing a short field and pounding on a Logan defense that started to get worn out against the powerful Davidson front line.  

Trubiano scored on a 44-yard run just over a minute and half into the second half and Deitz and Strahler connected on the next Davidson possession for another score and a 28-0 lead.

Trubiano added a 14-yard score near the end of the third quarter to stretch the lead to 35-0 and Catlett found his third try to be a charm and connected on a 40-yard field goal to end Davidson's scoring for the night.  It appeared that Logan might begin and end the season win 38-0 losses.

Logan managed to avoid the shut-out thanks to a nice drive that came mainly against Davidson's second team.  Angle connected with Tony Ellis for 18-yards , Morgan gained 12-yards on a draw play, and Mark Potter rambled down the right sideline for 30-yards and nearly put the ball in the endzone himself.   Morgan scored the Logan touchdown from 5-yards out and Lucas Wright connected with Derek Hart for the two-point conversion.

Logan finishes the season 8-3 and 7-0 in the SEOAL, winning their third straight SEOAL title and 22nd overall.  The Chiefs returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2001.  

Davidson advances to the Regional semi-finals and will face Upper Arlington (10-1) for the second time this season.  The Wildcats won the first meeting 19-0.  The two will meet next Saturday night at Dublin Coffman High School at 7:00 PM.
