Logan View beats BRLD to reach playoffs

The Logan View Football Team won 21-20 at home against BRLD Friday night to qualify for the playoffs.

Brady Hull had 21 carries for 168 yards and a touchdown. Jacob Polk ran the ball 16 times for 56 yards.

Polk was 2-6 passing for 69 yards with two touchdowns.

Nolan Miller hauled both passes in, scoring both TD's.

Nathan Taylor made 15 tackles while Connor Larson totaled 10. Eric French made 8.

The Raiders tallied 293 yards of offense, including 224 on the ground, while giving up 315 yards of total offense, including 115 rushing.

It's a big deal for Logan View to be in the playoffs, and I'm sure the Raiders are very happy to be there.

Logan View (6-3) takes on Centennial (9-0) on the road in the 1st round of the playoffs Friday night.

The Broncos knocked off Sutton 20-12 at home this past Friday night to close out the regular season.

Centennial is a solid team, but I think the Raiders can go in there and compete and win.

Logan View beat Yutan 27-20 while the Broncos downed the Chieftains 28-25.

Central City defeated the Raiders 44-21 though while Centennial topped the Bison 27-13.

The regular season and scores with common opponents may not mean much, but it's how I am trying to measure these two teams.

It's really hard to say how things are going to go.

Polk and Hull need to be on top of their game for Logan View to be able to win though.

These two need to have huge games for the Raiders, and be lethal weapons.

I think both are capable of going off and doing big things for Logan View, and the Raiders will definitely need their offensive production.

Logan View's defense has to be up to snuff too though.

The Raiders have to try and slow down Wyatt Ehlers and Gavin Avery.

Avery had 98 yards rushing and two touchdowns in the Broncos' win over the Mustangs while Ehlers had 79 yards rushing and a touchdown and 59 yards passing.

Not really numbers that stand out for a team that's the No. 2 seed in the playoffs I would say.

Centennial's offense appears to be solid and efficient, but not anything explosive or anything.

I really think Logan View matches up well with the Broncos, and has a shot to win.

The Raiders have to be confident heading into the game, and must dream and visualize on the bus ride to Utica what it would be like to win.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. with pregame at 6:40 on 107.9 the Bull, online at www.kticradio.com, and on the free KTIC Radio App.
