Logan 38
Warren 40 a final

... if you look up the word "rivalry" or in today's world IF you "Google" the word "rivalry", I'm almost positive that the example given reads : (ex. Logan vs Warren, boys basketball) ... from the 1999-20 season, Coach Maddox's first season as the head coach at Warren, to today ... both schools have gone their separate ways league wise ... Coach Maddox gained his 200th win during the 2012-13 campaign vs ... wait for it ... Logan - Warren beating the visiting Chiefs 80-45 on that night ... since then the battles on the court have been - well, "rivalry worthy" ... Logan had visited the NEW WarriorDome back on December 17th this season ... Coach Maddox and the Warren Warriors set a new milestone by picking up their first W ever in the New WarriorDome - again with Logan being the recipient of the 40-42 loss & a WHS/Coach Maddox win ... the rivalry continues ... fast forward to tonight Logan entertaining Warren at Jim Myers Gymnasium ... Warren coming off of a win Monday night vs the #1 seed in the D2 East District - New Philadelphia HS (47-44 Warren) ... Logan entered the contest having lost 2 straight games vs SEOhio teams (Washington CH and Fairfield Union) while not having played a game since Feb 1st ... Warren entered the game at 14-6 which is outstanding considering Coach Maddox graduated 4 of 5 starters from last seasons Elite 8 team -with Brayden Sallee the only returnee, while Logan (8-8) returned all 5 starters from last season ... rivalry ...

... Quarter one opened up all Warren as the Warriors got scoring from the offensive trio of 6-5 sophomore Trent Taylor (2 pts) , freshman PG Julian Stadelman (2 pts) and 6-4 senior Brayden Sallee (7 pts - including a triple) ... the Warrior defense picked up where it left off vs New Philly holding the Purple & White to only 5 first qtr points - 4 coming in the paint from 6-6 jr post player Cayden Alford (4pts) and Ashton Mahaffey (1/2 from the free throw line) ... the Warriors sticky D held the Logan senior scoring combo of Mason Frasure/Tegan Myers/Owen Angle scoreless in the opening period ... Warren 11 Logan 5 after 1 ... the 2nd quarter had the Chiefs outscoring Warren 11-7 ... Ashton Mahaffey continued to get it done on the scoreboard picking up 6 more points in the period - the oddity is that none were from beyond the 3 point line ... even more unusual was Logan only putting up 3 treys in the first half going 0/3 from downtown ... the 2nd half of the LHS perimeter scoring duo Tegan Myers got on the board in the 2nd as he picked up a 2 pointer plus 1/2 from the line (3 pts) ... Alford added 2pts from on the blocks to finish the LHS scoring ... the Logan defense held WHS to a three pointer from Trent Taylor , a putback bucket from Sallee and a turnaround jumper in the paint from Colten Eddy ... Warren 18 Logan 16 at intermission ... when you look at the napkin stat sheet, had you not seen the first half of action unfold you might confuse the napkin stats one team for the other based on the teams MO's ... in the first half Logan ONLY took 3 three pointers (0/3) while the normally inside oriented Warriors were 2/10 from downtown ... the cause for the roll reversal can be put solidly on the defenses - Logan took away the Warren inside game by keeping 6-6 Cayden Alford IN the paint, daring the guards for Warren to "make the three" while on the Warren side of the defense - straight up man to man, great pressure on the ball on the perimeter - taking away any good looks for LHS, switching on the perimeter, a great job rotating when the ball entered the paint ... quarter 3 played out as tight as the first half of action ... Logan was able to knockdown a triple as Mason Frasure opened the Logan scoring in the 3rd with a 3 ball ... after an out of bounds bucket by Sallee, Julian Stadelman matched the 3 with a triple of his own for Warren ... Owen Angle made 2 strong inside moves for the Chiefs for 4 points to go with a pair of Tegan Myers FTs ... Warren's Brayden Sallee had a pair of putbacks off of offensive boards plus 1/2 from the line ... Warren extended it's half time lead +1 ... Warren 28 Logan 25 after 3 ... rivalry games - they seem to be close, multiple lead changes , decided by a turnover leading to key basket, a basket at the buzzer, a role player coming off the bench to be a difference maker on the scoreboard ... Warren vs Logan ... a rivalry game that had all of the above in the 4th quarter ... at 6:47 Warren led 30-27 ... scoring in the qtr for Logan was led by Frasure's 6 points, Mahaffey added 2 points and Myers a bucket ... Warren kept pace with a pair of big time buckets on the blocks from Ayden Cornell off the bench (4 points in the quarter) ... at 2:44 Warren led 34-33 ... defense ... at 1:29 34-33 WHS ... a pair of Sallee buckets (6pts in the qtr) :34.4 Warren 38 Logan 33 ... a Logan 2 pointer ... turnover by Warren ... Logan ball :20 trailing 35-38 ... Logan inbounds pass taken by Sallee /Taylor bucket ... 40-35 Warren ... 3 pointer by Ashton Mahaffey with the clock running out ... Warren 40 Logan 38 a final ...

Warriors really struggled shooting the ball tonight but I had no clue they were 3/20 from three. Sallee got his 20 and they did just enough on the defensive side of the ball to escape with the W. Thanks for "napkin stats" and write-up as always Pfloyd!

I saw the Pizza Crossing pizza in the cafe on my way out , I asked Ed Richards how much for a box - he said $200 - a little steep on my teacher's salary LOL ...
