The win came at a cost however, with junior tailback Justin Frye going down with an ankle injury late in the third quarter.  Frye's availability for Friday's game at Ironton is unknown at this time.

Before the injury, the junior rushed for 192 yards on 36 carries and a score against a stingy Trojan defense.  Logan got to the redzone 5 times in the first half against Portsmouth but came away with only two scores due to two fumbles and a goal line stand by Portsmouth.

The Logan defense was the real story on the night however, allowing 101 yards to an offence averaging over 300 a game.  The Trojans failed to record a first down in the first half of play and recorded only 5 all night.  Logan intercepted the Trojans talented junior quarterback Shane Porter 4 times and held him to just 77 yards of total offense.  He was averaging over 220 total yards per game.

Logan has allowed only 183 total yards the last 3 weeks, 0 points, and made 10 interceptions.

After having an interception return by Seth Moritz called back due to holding and turning the ball over on downs at the Portsmouth 2-yard line, Logan was desperate to get on the scoreboard. 

Logan held Portsmouth to a three and out from their own 2 and Lucas Wright returned a short punt to the Logan 23-yard line.  Logan set up to go for it on fourth and 2 from the Portsmouth 9-yard line.  A motion penalty pushed Logan back, and for the second time in 2006 Kyle Kennard attempted a field goal.  This time, the senior put the ball through the uprights and Logan led 3-0.

Another punt return, this time by Ashton Sundgren, set up the first touchdown drive.  A screen pass for fullback Mark Potter picked up 36 yards and Frye capped off the drive from one yard out with 30 seconds to play in the half.

Frye had two long runs called back in the third quarter, including an 83-yard scoring run from Frye.  

Frye was hurt late on the drive as he was thrown for a loss on a 4th and one play.  

Sundgren was a big reason for the Chieftains final two scores.  The junior returned a punt that he caught on the fly for 19 yards and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Trojans set Logan up on the Trojan nine-yard line.  It took Morgan three tries but he scored from a yard out to increase the Logan lead to 17-0.

Sundgren scored his first career touchdown when he intercepted a Porter screen pass and returned it 65-yards for a touchdown.

Logan controls its own destiny in their quest for a birth in the OHSAA state playoffs.  Logan sits 7th in Division One, Region Three and can lock up a playoff spot with a win at Ironton.

Logan will travel to Ironton for the first time since 1990, Dale Amyx's first year as head coach at LHS.  Kick-off is slated for 7:30.  Portsmouth will host Warren in a battle for 8th place in the SEOAL.
