Logan received the opening kick-off and drove 63-yards on 12 plays in a drive that culminated in a 1-yard Justin Frye plunge that put the Chieftains on top for good 6-0.  Kennard's PAT was true.

Frye carried 9 times for 49 yards on the series and quarterback Michael Angle connected with fullback Mark Potter on the game's opening play.

The Tigers let out their biggest roar on their opening series.  The Tigers picked up 4 of thier five first downs in the game to open play and drove to the Logan one-yard line thanks to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.  Key plays in the drive were two passes of 8 and 15-yards to Cory Kriechbaum and a 22-yard yard by Mike Shields.  On first and goal the Tigers jumped off-sides and Shields was tackled for a 2-yard loss on second down.  On third down Logan's Corey Kissling chased Tiger quarterback Mike Groom and caught him with a shoe-string tackle for a 12-yard loss.  Marietta settled for a 38-yard field goal attempt that was pushed wide left.

Logan answered the missed field goal with a 10-play 79-yard drive that culminated in a Mark Potter scoring plunge from 4-yards out.  An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Marietta aided the Chieftain scoring drive.

The Tigers would manage only 23 yards of offense following their opening drive and would only reach Logan territory because of a big kick-off return.  

Frye would add his second of three touchdowns with 4:07 to play in the 2nd quarter making Logan 100% on their first three possessions and finally were stopped on fourth down before halftime.

Logan's first punt of the game came midway through the third quarter.  Tony Ellis dropped the punt perfectly inside the five-yard line where Cody Bower downed it inside the 1-yard line.  A few plays later Lucas Wright intercepted a Michael Groom passes and returned it 28-yards for his third touchdown of the season.  Kennard's PAT stretched Logan's lead to 28-0.

Frye culminated his night with an 11-yard touchdown drive with 10:50 to go in the football game.  Back to back 7-yard runs followed by one for three yards set up the score.  Kennard's PAT edged the Logan lead to 35-0.

LHS back-up running back Clay Morgan carried the ball three times for 41-yards and a score on Logan's final scoring drive.  The sophomore took a draw play 34-yards to cap the drive.  

It was a workman-like effort from the Chieftains.  Frye rushed for a school record 42 times for 239-yards.  Frye went over 200-yards for a fourth straight week breaking a record of three games set by Austin Rohr to end the 2003 season.  Of Frye's 42 carries, only 7 went for over 10-yards.  The Tiger defense did a good job of containing the big play.

Logan will return to Washington County next week to take on the Warriors of Warren.  Warren will enter the game 3-4 on the season and 1-3 in SEOAL play.  Warren lost at Jackson Friday night 48-15.  Marietta (2-5) will travel to Zanesville (4-3) next Friday in a battle of two of the SEOAL's most surprising teams.
