(0-1) Columbus Northland @ (0-1) Logan

[LHS 72]

Neeed to show improvement, But Northland has speed and if you let them score first look out SPEED KILLS! The defense cannot let them have the corners. This will be a mind and physical (speed) test for the young Chiefs.

Northland play last night?

[LHS 72]

Yes they did and got beat by Eastmoor something like 26-7

[1987chieftains]

does anyone know anything about them other then they are a city league team??

[dazed&confused]

Northland & speed? Oh, I got a bad feeling about this game. If Hurricane Isaac shows up over SE Ohio Friday night, it might slow them down some but it might keep my cranky old butt inside listening to the radio!

We know who will have the speed advantage in this one but I think Logan takes this for their first victory,Northland is just an average to below average city league team.I seriously doubt Northland will be anywhere near as big as Lancaster so that should help.They need this one bad, I saw one of the boys crying outside the locker room last night so they got to get an early season win to get some confidence back and these next 2 weeks is just what the doctor ordered :122245

Copied from the Columbus Dispatch. History is that Colunbus city Leauge schhols alway give the chiefs trouble, that being said this will be a close game and mistakes will decide the game

Ummm not sure why you put "copied from the columbus dispatch" I never claimed it was mine. I just thought the info would help clueless people like yourself actually get CORRECT information for once.

At least the Columbus dispatch had the info but the local rag will have something later this week! Thanks for inviting me in to your clueless club!

Logan big!

#11 saved a couple TDs last night

Northland isn't supposed to be very good this year. I'd expect a typical City League team. Turn-overs and lots of penalties. Chiefs should win this one. While I expected Lancaster to win, score was much too lopsided. Improvement usually comes in game #2. Get a win because Newark is awful this year.

Do not know much about Northland, but I believe Logan will refocus and work hard in practice this week. The defense looked okay, tough in the middle need to work on those outside run plays and consistant good tackling, some plays they gang tackled and wrapped up very well, other plays they were just throwing arm tackles. Hard work in practice by both offense and defense and Logan comes away with the W this week. Prediction Logan 24 Northland 7

Containment has been a huge problem for the defense the 2 times I have seen them this year,seems like every time Lancaster went out side they got at Least 8 yards or more,one play an option pitch I counted 5 defenders on the same side of the field and none of them could get to the sideline quick enough to stop him from turning up the sideline for a big a gain,that has to stop,the middle part was pretty stingy for the most part but still too many missed tackles.As for the offense no one can complain they pass too much so far this year,McCarty has had plenty touches just need to keep plugging away let the cards fall,Pretty confident that was the best they will see this year.

Heard the Logan reserves lost 61-0 today ouch!!!!
