Chiefs break into top 10 of state AP football rankings
Logan now rated No. 8 in Division II
COLUMBUS — Climbing to 5-0 with a 13-point win last Friday at Nelsonville-York has vaulted the Logan Chieftains into the top 10 in this week's state Associated Press football rankings.
The Chiefs are ranked No. 8 in Division II in the weekly poll of a state panel of statewide sportswriters and broadcasters.
Logan was 15th in the season's first poll two weeks ago and moved to No. 12 last week before breaking into the top ten this week.
The Chieftains are expected to retain their No. 2 positioning in the state Division II Region 5 computer ratings when the Ohio High School Athletic Association announces those numbers on Tuesday.
Logan trails fellow undefeated Worthington Kilbourne both in the DII state poll and in Region 5 computer points. Kilbourne is No. 6 in this week's AP poll.
Jackson, which lost 28-7 to undefeated Wheelersburg last week, fell out of the state rankings. Wheelersburg is now No. 3 in the state in Division V.
Columbus DeSales (4-1), the Chiefs' week-eight opponent, is now No. 12 in Division III. DeSales' only loss this season was to Lancaster, which is now tied for fifth in Division I.
