Logan View knocks off Tekamah-Herman












The Logan View Football team downed Tekamah-Herman 33-14 at home Friday night.

The Raiders led 6-0 at the end of one and won the second quarter 6-0 to lead 12-0 at halftime.

Tekamah-Herman went up 14-12 in the third quarter before Logan View scored a touchdown to go up 18-14 at the end of three.

The Raiders blanked the Tigers 15-0 in the fourth quarter.

Brady Hull led the Raiders' rushing attack with 135 yards on 17 carries, including three touchdowns. Jacob Polk added 105 yards on 16 carries, and scored once.

Armando Valencia totaled 8 tackles while Brady and Brett Hull made 7 apiece.

Logan View had 340 yards of total offense, including 313 rushing.

The defense surrendered 172 yards of total offense, 110 coming on the ground.

Head Coach Dustin Sealey. "We started off real well, and then we kind of were flat there for really about two quarters it seemed like. We just couldn't get anything going. We weren't getting off the ball up front. And they kind of stopped our outside running attack. And then we kind of got things together and started hitting some things inside off that motion, and things started working out."

Logan View improves to 2-3 on the season and hosts Fremont Bergan (2-3) on Friday.

The Knights topped Wisner-Pilger 41-16 at home Friday night.

A lot of people have been saying Bergan is having a down year, and in a lot of ways they are, but the Knights can never be counted out of any game.

With that said, I'm sure the Raiders will be very fired up and motivated to beat Bergan after what happened last year.

If memory serves me correct, Logan View held a lead in last year's game before losing 19-18.

That game and the Omaha Brownell-Talbot game the week before pretty much cost Logan View any chance at making the playoffs a season ago.

Logan View comes into this game facing a similar situation in that they probably need to win out to make the playoffs.

This coming Friday's game and next week at Oakland-Craig is pretty much going to decide the Raiders' fate.

These are the two biggest games of the season for Logan View, and the Raiders have to step up and perform well.

Logan View has to run the ball the way they did against Tekamah-Herman.

If the Raiders can run for over 300 yards again they should give themselves a good chance to win.

Perhaps bigger than the run game though is taking care of the football.

Turnovers normally hurt a team quite a bit, and Logan View can't really afford to lose the turnover battle against the Knights.

I think the Raiders need to have some semblance of a passing game as well, but again, the run game and taking care of the ball is going to be more important, in my opinion.

If Logan View can run and take care of the ball they should be in good shape and have a good chance to win the game.

This is a big game for the Raiders. One I'm sure Logan View would love to get to bolster their program.
