LOGAN — To say the least, it’s been a tale of two seasons for the Chieftains.
Through their first four games, an injury-riddled Logan team had been outscored 141-69 (with nearly half of those points in a 32-27 win over winless Newark), had been held to minus-30 yards rushing by Loudonville, and was adjusting to life after their starting quarterback was injured in the third quarter of the season opener.
In that same stretch, the Chieftain defense had been riddled for school single-game records of 518 rushing yards (by Lancaster) and 469 passing yards (by Newark).
Things have turned around drastically over the last three games, however, especially as the defense has begun to stabilize. After allowing 453 total yards per game the first four weeks, the Chiefs have permitted 288.7 the last three games — not an eye-popping number, but steady improvement nonetheless.
