Click Here for Pictures from the Week (Coming Soon)

The Logan Chieftains got their first victory on Saturday night in a game that was delayed 23 and one half hours due to the remnants of Hurrican Ivan.  The Chieftains dominated an outmatched ZHS squad to get their first victory in front of a small home crowd.

If anyone was worried about a let down due to the rain delay, Tory Kratzenburg took care of that in the first minute.  Tory Kratzenburg made a stop for a loss of 10 yards on the game's first play, and then returned a fumble 27 yards to give Logan the 7-0 lead.  Logan's offense moved the ball all night, but had to fight off penalties (8-75) all night long, and had two TDs called back due to holding calls.

Logan's second score came on a 14-yard touchdown rumble for his first score of 2004.  Poindexter's PAT put Logan on top 14-0.  The touchdown capped a 7 play 67 yard drive, and the score was just Logan's third rushing TD of the season.

Logan's passing game put the game out of reach in the third quarter.  Tory Kratzenburg, who got things going early, was the go-to man again.  This time, Kratzenburg caught a Spackey aerial and out ran Blue Devil defenders for a 65-yard TD.  The pass was the second longest of Spackey's career.  Ironically, Kratzenburg was the recipiant of Spackey's longest completion, a 79-yard Touchdown against Pickerington North last season.

Logan's final score game with many of the JVs in the football game.  Senior Robert Kirkland busted up the middle of the field and looked strong going 25-yards for his first career score.  Poindexter wrapped a perfect night with his 4th PAT.

The Chieftain ground game finished with 237 yards, getting a balanced night from Kevin Call (13-80), Justin Coakley (10-70 TD), and Sophomore Michael Coleman (11-57).  Corey Spackey had another great game for the Chiefs.  Spackey finished 10-20 for 170 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.  BJ Hughes, Spackey's number one target this season, cuaght 4 passes for 39 yards and Patrick Howe caught 2-45.  Tory Kratzenburg finished with 2 catches for 74 yards and a TD.

The Logan defense had a great game, totally shutting down the Blue Devils until the final four minutes when the 2nd and 3rd teams were in the football game.

Logan returns to action this Friday when they travel to Gahanna to take on the Lincoln Lions.  Gahanna Lincoln is 2-2 on the season, with a win over Cincinnati power LaSalle.  Kick-off is slated for 7:30.
