Logan View loses at Stanton

The Logan View Raiders fell 42-13 at Stanton Friday night.

The game was tied at 7 at the end of one. The Mustangs shutout the Raiders 14-0 in the second quarter to go up 21-7 at halftime.

Stanton blanked Logan View 14-0 in the third quarter to lead 35-7 at the end of one.

The Mustangs won the fourth quarter 7-6.

Brady Hull rushed for 108 yards on 11 carries, and scored once. Jacob Polk had 82 yards on the ground on 20 carries. Polk was 6-13 passing for 50 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Nathan Taylor made 8 tackles while Hull totaled 7.

The Raiders amassed 244 yards of offense, including 194 rushing.

The defense gave up 422 yards, 328 coming on the ground.

Head Coach Dustin Sealey says turnovers really hurt his team against the Mustangs. "We did what good teams don't do, and that's turn the ball over. We had a bad snap on a punt and then we fumbled the ball on third down in the middle of the third quarter when we were on the 20-yard line going into score, and that would of made it 28-21, and so that fumble there kind of killed us."

Logan View (1-3) hosts Tekamah-Herman (1-3) Friday night.

The Tigers lost 41-0 at home to Doniphan-Trumbull last time out.

Sealey says his squad has to slow down Tekamah-Herman quarterback Cody Hopkins. "The thing that pops in my mind is their quarterback. He's a good player, he likes to run the option. And really that's our goal on defense is to stop him, stop the option game, their inside run game."

Hopkins had just 17 yards passing and 22 yards rushing against the Cardinals so you can bet the Raiders have been studying the game film and taking a page or two out of Doniphan-Trumbull's playbook to try and slow him down.

I think the run game will be really big in this game. Both teams run the ball well, and pass the ball okay.

Logan View's offense was better than Tekamah-Herman's last week, but both offenses are about even for the season overall, in my opinion.

The Tigers are apparently going to get back to doing what they did in their season opening win so it will be interesting to see if they can get their offense going against the Raiders.

I look for this game to be close, I really do.

I think both teams are evenly matched, and feel the game could go either way.

I feel the game is going to come down to turnovers and defense.

Whichever defense makes the most plays and creates the most turnovers will most likely be in the best shape at the end of the game.

The Raiders are at home, and I feel that's an advantage for them, but Logan View hasn't been in a close game for four quarters yet this year, whereas Tekamah-Herman won in overtime the first week of the season.

The Raiders won last year's contest 60-6.

Kickoff between the Tigers and Raiders is set for 6:30 p.m. at Logan View with pregame at 6:10 on 107.9 the Bull.
