Logan - Zanesville, missing it's two best running backs, couldn't
hang with Logan for four quarters of football but they definitely made
things interesting for a half. ZHS capitalized on a great drive to
take an early 7-0 lead and blocked a Logan PAT to lead at the intermission.
Logan's offensive line slowly wore down the Zanesville defense and Justin
Frye scored on runs of 1, 10, 24, and 30-yards to bust open a game that
was 7-6 Zanesville at halftime. Frye wound up with 237 yards rushing
and 4 touchdowns on 34 carries. The three straight 200-yard running
games Frye has recorded ties an LHS school record. Austin Rohr did
the same thing to close out the 2003 season.
The Logan victory, mixed with Jackson's upset of Chillicothe, leaves
the Chieftains alone atop the SEOAL ledger at 3-0.
The Logan defense had no trouble containing a Blue Devil offense missing
it's top two running backs following the opening drive that gave Zanesville
the lead. They held the Blue Devils to 82 yards rushing on 31 carries
and allowed the Blue Devils to complete only 5 of 17 pass attempts.
Zach Adams, Zak Gompf, Cary MacLaughlin, and Jon Neff all recorded sacks
for Logan. The Blue Devils crossed midfield only 3 times after their
opening drive and reached the red zone just one more time.
Logan took the lead for good on a drive that began with the second half
kick-off. They took all of 8 plays to reach pay dirt with Frye capping
the drive with a 10-yard run. Frye's 46-yard run one play earlier
set up the score. A conversion attempt to Lucas Wright was overthrown.
A short punt set up Logan's next score and Frye took the first play
24-yards to pay dirt. Kennard's first PAT gave Logan more than they
would need for the win.
If there was any doubt left, Lucas Wright's interception of a deep Adam
Young pass mixed with a 38-yard return on the interception set up Frye's
fourth and final score from 30-yards out.
Mark Potter scored Logan's fifth touchdown from a yard out following
a long run from Clay Morgan.
Logan will travel to Marietta (2-4, 2-1) on Friday night. The
Tigers lost at Ironton in overtime 28-20. Zanesville will travel
to Athens.
