Logan must have been really good to beat those state powerhouse Athens teams.....oh wait Logan was off playing Saint Mary's of the blind and Little sisters of the poor because Logan was god awful
It was Athens who ran away from playing Logan's powerhouse teams in 2008 and 2009. They went and played Bloom Carroll instead.
Athens backs out on football agreement
By Craig Dunn Nov 1, 2007
LOGAN - It looks like the Logan Chieftains and Athens Bulldogs have played football for the final time… or, at the very least, for the near future.
Athens High School on Tuesday backed out of a contract with Logan for a pair of non-league football games, meaning the Chieftains have a glaring week-three hole on their 2008 and 2009 schedules.
The Bulldogs, who are leaving the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League for the Tri-Valley Conference at the conclusion of the current school year, were to play in Logan's new stadium next season and host the Chieftains in 2009. They lost their final 17 SEOAL football games and 23 of their final 24, with only a narrow two-point win over Warren in 2005 to show for the last four seasons.
Ron Janey, Logan High School activities director, said no monetary fine was put into place in case one of the schools broke the contract, which was a good-faith agreement between the two schools.
Twelve consecutive defeats at the hands of the Purple & White - including a 62-6 thrashing this fall - more than likely played a key role in Athens' decision.
The Chieftains outscored the Bulldogs 499-118 in their final 12 meetings, beginning in 1996. Logan and Athens met on the football field 88 times since 1914, playing every season except for 1916, 1918, 1920-22, 1930 and 1978. Logan won the series 49-34-5.
