Friday night SEOAL Logan (7-3) at Warren (10-2)

[Logangrad]

Been a long time since these two teams are playing with alot on the line in the SEOAL and not much talk about it. The Warrior Dome always a tough place to play and Logan will need to play lights out to get a W on the road. IMO Logan's Kevin Fisher needs to stay out of foul trouble and have a solid game. Logan needs more scoring from Cox and Smith to compliment Little and Fisher. A balanced game for the Purple and White will be key.

What say you?

Logangrad...I have Warren Local 9-2 overall. Is that right or did I miss a game? Thanks. Warriosrs games with Athens and Marietta have been reset.

[93Bulldog]

is there a way they both can lose?

[nybuckeye99]

Jottings, You are correct. Warren's record is 9-2.

[Logangrad]

Yes my fault

Logan grad - or you're clairvoyant...

What was going on with the Warren students causing trouble along the baseline? I wasn't there but heard the Logan radio announcer and coach raving about it after the game saying it changed the game.

That's just it, there was no problem with our student section. Our first home game our students asked the officials that night if they had to move up one row and the answer was no so our students stay but do move to the sides to allow room, now as far as our kids chanting and shouting that's part of the game and if the Logan coach wants to blame our kids and place blame on the tax payers of Warren Local School district for not passing our levy to build a better school as said in the Logan newspaper I have to say suck it up buttercup cause it is what it is!

VINCENT — "Home-court advantage" took on a whole-new meaning Friday night as an intense, otherwise outstanding boys basketball game was somewhat tarnished by the sheer surroundings of Warren High School's ancient "Warrior Coliseum" gymnasium."
I'm going to go ahead and assume the guy that wrote the article is fairly young and a former Logan grad from reading the opening sentence of the article lol.

I agree with you, you can't blame the student section for this, they were only doing what they were told that they were allowed to do! But you have to blame the administration/officials of this game. You have to give the opposing team room to at least inbound the ball. They dropped the ball on that, not the student section. I understand the way the gym is situated, but you can't let them stand on the sidelines, basically on the court.

I'll second bigbluedad. Were the students loud and distracting to the Logan players? Yes. Were the students near/on the floor? Yes. Did they influence the officials calls as was stated in the Logan newspaper? You've got to be kidding me!! Name one official who determines a call on the floor based on input from a student section and I will show you an official who isn't worth officiating a peewee game.

And there is NO way Warren's student section was responsible for causing ONE Logan player to receive a flagrant foul for flipping a Warren player to the ground or for causing a SECOND Logan player, who after committing a foul on a Warren player, to receive a technical foul for kicking the same player in the face, drawing blood. We won't even mention the fact that that same second Logan player left immediately after the game without participating in the postgame handshake.

Good sportsmanship at its finest...

Someone from Warren is talk about bad sportsmanship?? haha

FYI "the Guy" from the LDN has been the Sports Editor for over 20 years, graduated from Logan in 1980 and is a member of the LHS Hall of Fame for his long time dedication to Logan Athletics, the community and the school. But you cant sit back and say the student section wasnt a factor in the game??! :122246 Back to back inbounds plays and they were closer than they needed to be, thats all Im saying. At every other gym in the area, students arent allowed to be on the floor that close to the action and administrators usually step in to handle it. Its a shame that a great game had to be overshadowed by what may or may not of happened.

Warren has the worst place to play basketball that I know of. No side line for the players to stand the court is like playing on the old high school floors from the 60s. The court is even too short.. Like playing on a grade school gym.

Their coach deserves a better place.

[Johnny Quest]

I must have to agree with the rest of SEO, and the TVC. Logan has become a bunch of cry babies. In past years they would take their beating like big boys but now ? C'mon man is that all you got, really ? Blaming the student section, the size of the gym ? Grow a pair !

Where were the game officials? Man they are the ones in charge! And as far as the others involved! Remember what moon say's "Excurses are for Losers"
