Logan 58
Grove city 60 OT final
... packed house at Jim's Gym ... the line to get tickets wrapped around the front of the school to the student parking lot ... I was walking by some folks and mentioned it was just like the days of "good" Logan football in the post season ... great to see the Logan Nation come out in full force to support the senior laden Chiefs ... the opponent for the Chiefs was Grove City out of the OCC ... a strange evening of hoops ... GC was a very quick, disciplined TEAM, not a lot of size, very strong with the ball, strong off the dribble and appeared to have some perimeter scorers as well ... Logan was the pursuer from the git go as GC showed a lot of motion in their offense, lots of picks, back cuts while being strong with ball ... GC was led by Sam Stoll with 7 pts in the quarter with Bubs Morrison adding a 3 pointer and a pair of deuces from Brock Waits and Alex Coffey ... should have guessed the night was not going be Logan's night as the first play of the contest for the Chiefs Bo Myers was called for player control foul taking the ball to the hole ... Bo added 6 points in the first, Logan got 3 treys in the opening period 1 each from Caleb Bell, Wes Brooks, Coby Bell ... Logan 17 GC 14 after 1 ... 2nd period - both teams showed solid D making their opponent work for everything ... Logan could muster but 2 fgs in the 2nd (5 pts by Coby Bell) the rest were from the FT line as Bo Myers went 7/7 ... as anemic as Logan's offense was GC was worse as they found the bottom of the net for only 8 points ... Logan extended their lead going into half time Logan 29 GC 22 at intermission ... as has been the case so many times the Chiefs played solid D, were methodical at the offensive end - Bo Myers did what Bo Myers does - scored the ball ... 9 points in the 3rd another 3 by Coby Bell/Caleb Bell ... Logan opened up a 12 point lead with :50.8 left on the clock in the 3rd 47-35 ... but THAT's where the feel good part of the game ends as GC scored to end the 3rd ... Logan 47 Grove City 37 after 3 ... Logan scored a total of 4 points in the 4th... the last 2 on a Bo Myers transition dunk .. GC from the :50.8 mark of the 3rd outscored Logan 16-4 thru the end of regulation ... the last bucket on a defensive breakdown as Cole Crager broke free for a open drive to the bucket 51-51 with 5.5 sec. to play ... that's how the quarter & regulation ended 51-51 ... Logan could not buy a basket in the 4th - did not score the last 3:44+ of regulation ... while not scoring, the Chiefs uncharacteristically were turned over 4 times at crucial times in the GC run for the tie ... Logan 51 Grove City 51 end of 4 ... OT again had Logan chasing as GC jumped out to 55-52 lead that they never relinquished ... 2:12 GC 55-52 ... 1:24 GC 55-52 ... :37 seconds GC 56-52 ... :23.2 GC 57-54 ... GC was living on the FT line as sophomore Brock Waits went 6/10 from the FT line in the OT ... GC had all but put the game away going up 58-54 before Bo Myers hit his only trey of the game with 8.8 to play GC 58-Logan 57 ... Brock Waits took the in bounds pass - was fouled , to the line for 2 , drained them both GC 60-57 ... Logan's Coby Bell was fouled on a 3 point attempt with .7 on the clock ! ... makes the first GC 60-58 ... the 2nd hits nothing but metal and bounces off ... a miss on the 3rd had the ball bounce off the rim back to Bell who had a shot to tie ... again bouncing off the back of the rim ... Grove City 60 Logan 58 a final ...

... the season comes to an unexpected screeching halt for the Chiefs ... uncharacteristically turning the ball over in crunch time ... the scoring drought over 8+ minutes scoring only 4 points ... credit goes to GC on the solid, physical defense and controlling the boards for most of the game, the usual stiff Logan D was unable to stop the GC penetration in the 4th period as GC got into the paint, picked up the contact, went to the line and converted ... Great season ! I wish this fine group of Chieftains nothing but the best ...

... GC came into a hostile environment, never backed down, took the ball right at the Logan D - got to the line where they did damage while the clock was stopped as they whittled away at the double digit Logan lead ... eventually catching the Chiefs at the :10 mark of the 4th 51-51 ... great defensive effort in shutting down LHS in the 4th period ( allowing only 4 points) ... best of luck on your tournament march back up the highway in C'bus ...
