Logan 47
Vinton County 56 a final
... a "packed house" at Jim's Gym tonight to watch state ranked and one of the top teams in the SouthEast District - Vinton County- take on a team looking for respect and one that needs to get a BIG "W" on their resume' - the Logan Purple and White ... it MUST HAVE BEEN a BIG game as there was a fan tossed at the 4:30 mark of the 1st quarter ... BOTH coaches had the ear of the officials - Coach Combs was calmed down by staff & players after a (we'll be kind) ... after a "questionable" call by this group of officials at the end of the 2nd quarter while Coach Rider for Logan seemingly had a "on-going" conversation with one of the officials the entire 2nd quarter - not sure the official was able to keep an eye on the game due to the "conversations" with the Logan head coach ... it was a post season atmosphere - at least for the Maroon & White fans who will be back to Logan's gym in 2 weeks for D2 Sectional action as the Vikings will be more than likely the 1 seed vs the 8/9 play in game winner for the chance to go to the Convo for district play ... Logan has played vs a schedule full of Central District D1 schools ... the Chiefs looking to see the fruits of playing the "stiffer" competition by knocking off Vinton County ...
... I have to bring up the first meeting vs VC in McArthur ... Tristan Bartoe joined the 1000 pt club during the 1st half vs Logan on his way to 19 first half points/4 treys for the game to go with 24 points ... the VC TEAM was 6/11 from 3 point land in game #1 in the first 2 quarters & 11/20 from behind tha arc on the game ... Naylan Yates - one of the top contenders for the POY in the TVC & D2 SE District along with back court mate Bartoe - had 9 points in the first half/27 for the game with 4 triples ... VC won the 1st game 77-54 ... tonight at Jim's Gym the Chiefs took away the Vinton County penetration, the VC BIG 3 of Bartoe/Yates/Jones were held to 7 points in the first half ... 1 fg among the group ... outstanding D from the Purple & White ! Logan was led by sharp shooting Bo Myers who matched his 1st game total of 12 points in the first half of play ... Logan was able to hold VC to only 1/6 shooting for 3 pointers in the first 2 quarters ! ... let me restate : LHS held the VC Big 3 to 7pts/1 fg in the half ... shutdown the perimeter penetration from the Big 3/ forced poor perimeter shooting by the BIg 3 in the first 2 quarters YET ONLY LED AT INTERMISSION Logan 23 Vinton County 22 ...
... as a Cheap Seat guy it was a great game to watch as you could see what the teams were both trying to do/ what they wanted to do and what each opponent was doing to take those things away ... Logan took away the BIG 3 of Bartoe/Jones/Yates BUT THAT in itself as good as it sounds STILL LEAVES the 4th scoring option - Jake Speakman ! Speakman was scoreless in the first game with Logan - he didn't need to score - tonight with all of the attention on the Big 3 it was Jake Speakman who KEPT VC in the game in the first half - 9 points with 1 triple ... imo Vinton County's tournament run will "hinge on the play of Jake Speakman offensively" - the young man will be called on to UP HIS GAME offensively as teams WILL work to take away the BIg 3 as Logan did tonight ...
... Vinton County took the lead 32-31 at 3:56 left in the 3rd quarter ... Jones/Bartoe/Yates added 15 points/ 2 treys 3/4 FTs forced Logan into 5 turnovers in the 3rd to give VC a 37-35 lead heading into the final quarter ... Vinton County looked the better TEAM in the 4th as Logan seemed to disappear at both ends while getting frustrated defensively which resulted in VC going to the FT line for 16 fourth quarter FT attempts knocking down 12 ... the Vikings' last 10 points were from the FT line ... Logan had 12 points in the 4th but 4 were by Landis in the final 18 seconds as VC "let" the Logan big get to the rim without fouling & stopping the clock ... Logan 47 Vinton County 56 a final ...

... a good game for Vinton County to have to play before the post season begins - being on the Logan D2 Sectional Court, vs a good Logan ball club that has some size down low and quick guards on the perimeter ... a night when the Big 3 were defended well and had to work hard to get anything and everything AND they came out with the W at the end of a 3 game week ... next week VC gets a little deeper off the bench as Antonio Mendes will be cleared to play after suffering a knee injury that has had him sidelined - more quicks, a little more 6-2ish size ... and the fact that AM is a senior - it's always good to see a kid like that get back out on the court - he will definitely help the VC cause going into the post season ...
