It was a defensive battle for three quarters until the purple and white used their power running game to wear out the Panther front seven and grind out two fourth quarter touchdowns that put the game out of reach.

In the first half, neither team threatened more than once.  North drove down the field on their first series and appeared to score on a long touchdown pass.  However, a holding call in the backfield brought the play back and the Logan defense buckled down to force a Panther punt.  

Logan took its first lead of the 2006 season on the second play of the second quarter.  Michael Angle (8-14, 142 yards, 1TD) connected with Clay Morgan for a 36-yard touchdown on a screen pass.  Morgan eluded several defenders and broke a couple of tackles to reach paydirt.  A low snap caused holder Lucas Wright to roll out on the PAT attempt and he found sophomore receiver Derek Hart all alone in the endzone to extend the lead to 8-0.

That's how the teams would enter the locker room.  The Chieftain defense recorded 5 of their 7 sacks in the first half highlighted by sophomore Jon Neff, seniors Zak Gompf and Kiger, and Kissling.

Logan's first posession of the second half ended when senior punter Tony Ellis dropped his second punt of the game inside the North ten yard line.  This one was inside the three yard line.  Logan stuffed the Panthers on their first two rushing attempts, and on third down Kissling knifed his way through the offensive line to tackle North's David Shumate on an end around for a safety.

The ensuing free kick went out of bounds on the 45-yard line, and junior tailback Justin Frye entered the game.  He took the first play of the series 42-yards and nearly scored on one play.  The next play went to Frye and outraced two Panther defenders on a sweep and pushing Logan's lead to 16-0.  Kyle Kennard's PAT edged the lead to 17-0.

North rallied on their next possession, driving 73-yards on six plays.  Several big pass players put the black and silver inside the 10-yard line, and a 17-yard pass from Byron Johann (13-21-147-1TD) to Kendall Brooks cut the Logan lead to 17-7 with 3:27 to go in the third quarter.

Logan controlled the ball and ran out the clock in the fourth quarter headlined by Frye.  Frye capped off a 12-play 74 yard drive that lasted over six minutes with a 2-yard score.  Kennard's PAT stretched the lead to 24-7 with 4:53 to play.  

Frye added the game's final score on a 36-yard touchdown run down the visiting sideline with 1:59 to play in the game.  

Frye finished the game with 155 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries.  Morgan added 44 yards on 15 carries and also had the 36-yard touchdown catch.  Kissling carried 7 times for 27 yards.  

Lucas Wright caught 4 passes for 55 yards while Jeshiah Eggers (1-19) and Zack Adams (1-17) made their first career catches for Logan.
