Nelsonville-York scouting report: Buckeyes will again look to dominate line of scrimmage

NELSONVILLE — There are not many surprises when Logan and Nelsonville-York meet up on the gridiron, and Friday night won’t be much different.

The Buckeyes will look to dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball — something they have done successfully so far in 2014.

The Orange and Brown opened with a 34-14 loss to rival Trimble, but have rebounded with wins over state-power Newark Catholic (9-0), Berne Union (49-12), and resurgent River Valley (28-7).

The Buckeyes are averaging 386 yards of total offense per game while allowing only 152. In their three wins, those number balloon to 421 yards of total offense and only 99 yards allowed. Trimble is 4-0 and coming off a trip to the Division VII state championship game.

Logan will be looking to even the current series at two wins apiece since the ancient rivalry resumed in 2011.

Including games against pre-consolidation Nelsonville High School, the Athens Countians have only won three games against Logan in a four-year span twice. The Greyhounds achieved that feat by winning in 1927, 1929, and 1930 while the Buckeyes did it 1994, 1996, and 1997.

The youth movement that played a part in the Buckeyes’ disappointing 4-6 season last fall has paid dividends so far in 2014. Three sophomores lead the Buckeyes in rushing.

Tailback Alex Mount (6-1, 176, sophomore) leads the Bucks with 428 yards and six touchdowns on 76 carries, but will likely miss Friday night’s game due to an injury.

Classmate Noah Andrews (5-9, 203, sophomore) adds 196 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 38 carries.

Quarterback Hunter Edwards (6-3, 181, sophomore) gives N-Y the aerial threat to keep opposing defenses honest. The signal-caller has completed 15 of 41 passes for 434 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions. He has ran for 169 yards on 38 carries.

Senior Jeremy Warren (6-0, 155) has emerged as a big-play threat. Warren will line up as a receiver, running back, and wing back, creating match-up issues for opposing defenses. Warren adds 113 yards and a touchdown rushing and has caught a team-high 12 passes for 372 yards and four touchdowns receiving.

Dakota Mays (5-11, 173, senior) is another pass-catching threat at tight end. Mays has grabbed three passes for 78 yards this fall. Walker Elliott (5-8, 168, junior) will see time at split end.

Senior center Jay Elliott (6-0, 268) is the rock on the offensive line and is joined by Patrick McQuade (5-10, 262, senior), Matt Carter (6-0, 199, sophomore), Ethan McCombs (5-11, 210, junior), and Cameron Mount (6-0, 258, senior). Skylar Canter (6-0, 200, sophomore) and Paul Varner (5-9, 185, junior) add depth up front.

The Buckeyes will line up in a five-man defensive front. Donovan Ross (6-1, 163, senior) and Andrews are the ends, Jay Elliott and Tyson McManus (6-3, 153, junior) the tackles, and junior Jakob Talbert (5-5, 182) playing nose guard. Varner adds depth for the Orange and Brown.

Mays, Aron Davis (6-1, 185, sophomore), Walker Elliott, and David Ray (5-8, 168, senior) will all rotate at the linebacker positions.

In the secondary, Mount and Warren will be the cornerbacks while Brycen Nungester (5-8, 150, senior) will play safety. Edwards may also see time at the free safety position.

Warren does the bulk of the work on special teams for N-Y. He will punt, hold on field goal tries, and return kicks and punts. Mays will handle the long-snapping duties while Garrett Maiden (5-9, 149, freshman) will do the placekicking.
