Re: Logan 2016-2017
I went to the game last week against Elder.
It was obvious, even to me, that the team was sluggish from the tip. Newark took a lot out of the team not just physically, but from a mental standpoint as well.
Elder isn't great (without Mosley), but they executed well, especially in the first half when they built a big lead. Logan was slow to rotate on defense or to close out shooters and the Panthers were hot with the three ball in the first half thanks to the good looks. Logan's lack of depth - they really only play 7 maybe 8 deep - was apparent.
Logan did not shoot well all night and paid the price. Most people - even some of my friends from Olentangy - couldn't believe it was the same Elder team that had played the night before.
Myers is the real deal for Logan. He was the best player on the court in either set of purple uniforms. I was impressed with the way Coach Rider and staff handle this group and even in game situations. The future is bright.
The tough grind continues for the Chiefs. They just need to keep improving. Still think an above .500 record is possible and with a decent draw in the district tournament who knows.

Re: Logan 2016-2017
I've seen Logan Play a couple of times and they are not a one player team . Lots of talent ,good shooters and PG handles pressure very well . Bigs down low work hard and can be a force . Ball rotation has been suspect but you take what the defense gives you . Future does look bright if they continue to progress . In asking around everyone did say that the game with Newark took alot out of them . Only used 2 off the bench and that hurt. They might be a year away from competing with the Central Ohio teams .

Bloom Carroll gave the Purple Gang a 1 point loss last year . Should be a good game , but a tough place to play for sure.

Re: Logan 2016-2017
Do not worry Moonshine everything will be ok . Some facts : Logan had more field goals , shot a better FG percentage , had more assist, more rebound and more 3 point goals . What they did not have was that BC SHOT 23 FREE THROWS AND LOGAN SHOT 9 in a very physical game. Read what you want in all that but the young Chiefs are alive and well . Good talent, very well coached ( VERY WELL LIKED ) and very young . Future is still going to be bright . Schedule was put into place last year and all knew it was going to be some tough competition. Best thing is for this team to stay positive which I have that faith that they will . Maybe you meant here I go again , and I' ll say I hope not!

Re: Logan 2016-2017
the way i'm looking at playing bigger and better teams is post season prep.
AT THE RESERVATION
Re: Logan 2016-2017
Anyone that saw Logan play both FU and Carroll want to compare and contrast these 2 MSL favorites?

Re: Logan 2016-2017
I give FU a slight edge . I think the post play is stronger . Both have good shooters .BC defense might be a little more aggressive (lots of hand checking and bumping) My guess would be that they split both winning at home . Both teams well coached . Both Quality teams . Should be a good matchup. Good luck to both teams rest of season.

The Purple Gang takes on the Tigers of Circleville tonight. Freshmen start at 5:00 at Jims Gym. Hope to see a big crowd and get the Chiefs going.
Re: Logan 2016-2017
Thinking about going to this tonight. Haven't had the chance to see the Chief yet.
