Nelsonville York 48 final
... a good game tonight at Jim's Gym (heck if you take the whistle away from those officials tonight it would have been even better imo- but I digress) ... this one was tight from the get go as both teams struggled to find the bottom of the net from the field, throw in a combined 15 TOs in the opening quarter and you end up with quarter breaks of Logan 10 NY 8 after one / Logan 26 vs Nelsonville York 26 at intermission ... The Purple turned up the defense as soon as they hit floor forcing 2 quick Nelsonville York TOs & 2 quick transition buckets to start the 3rd - forcing NY to call a time out at the 7:30 mark ... Nelsonville York committed 6 TOs in the qtr. leading to 4 LHS transition baskets, Logan's defense held NY to but one field goal in the 3rd, with the Orange and White unable to dent the scoreboard until the 3:33 mark with Casey Cox hitting 2 FTs ... Logan 45 Nelsonville 31 after three ... Coach Kline has to be proud of his boyz as NY turned up the defense themselves holding LHS to 3 fgs in the 4th as Logan looked to slow it up, take the air out of the ball ... NY turned it into a game with with 5:19 to play as Kyle Moore turned a Logan turnover into 2 points cutting the LHS lead to 8 points, 50-42 ... both teams traded "punches" with NY keeping the pressure on as Daniel Kline drilled a 3 ball with 1:46 left on the clock making the score 51-46 Logan ... a steal by Kline had the 6-4 senior loose in the lane for 2 more points - BUT no a very questionable traveling call waved off the 2 points ...what would have been a 2 possession game and 4 pt Logan lead remained 6 points ... from that point on it was a parade of Logan FTs to finish out the game (Chiefs were 11/15 from the line in the 4th) ... Logan 62 Nelsonville York 48 a final ...
... much closer game than the score indicated at the end ... TO's did NY in as they turned the ball over 20 times on the night vs 14 for the Chiefs ... Logan remained atop the TVC making their TVC record 3-0 on the season (beating Vinton County, Athens and Nelsonville York) ... Great job by the Logan Student Section tonight !!!!! might be the biggest turnout I have seen for awhile!!! led by the infamous Taylor Reichling & Co ... 32 minutes of support for the Purple by the student body - has to make the team feel good ... I would like to say thank you to Nelsonville York head coach Jay Kline ... what a class act ... Coach Kline took a moment during his teams warmups to venture into the Cheap Seats to find/shake hands with pfloyd - Coach what you said means a lot to me - thank you ... best of luck to your Nelsonville York squad the rest of the season ...

... Chiefs have picked up the D and not surprisingly the offense has clicked as well ... 3-2 in the last 5 outings with an excellent game vs Portsmouth included in one the 2 setbacks ... a BIG road game vs Chillicothe at the Hat Friday night ... going to see what the youngsters learned vs 6-8 Malik London when the Cavs came calling back in early December ...
