Utica-The Logan View Football Team lost 28-13 at Centennial in the first round of the C-2 playoffs Friday night.

The Broncos struck first as Gavin Avery ran in a touchdown from 15 yards out to give Centennial a 7-0 advantage with 5:15 remaining in the opening period.

The Raiders knotted the game up at 7 with 2:44 remaining in the opening frame as Nathan Taylor hauled in a 14-yard TD pass from Nolan Miller.

Avery scored from a yard out with 11:27 left in the 2nd quarter to put the Broncos back in front 14-7.

Avery scored his 3rd rushing touchdown from 49 yards away at the 7:51 mark of the 2nd period to give Centennial a 21-7 advantage.

The Broncos amassed 361 yards of offense, including 194 through the air, while Logan View racked up 220 yards of offense, 132 of them passing.



I thought the Raiders competed well, but just not well enough to win.

The Raiders end the 2017 campaign with a record of 6-4.

It was a good season for Logan View, in my opinion.

The Raiders upset Yutan early in the season, and reached the playoffs in Dustin Sealey's 2nd year.

I would say that's progress and growth made as a program.

Logan View says goodbye to Polk, Miller, Taylor, Brandon Hagerbaumer. and Jayvin Benavente.

At least four of these players are key losses, but the Raiders have to be excited about who they bring back and inherit from Scribner-Snyder.

Logan View will be known as Logan View/Scribner-Snyder after this year, and so players will have to adjust and adapt to their new teammates.

Key returners from Logan View include Martin Valencia, Connor Larson, Hull, Jadin Beckwith, Eric French, Brett Uhing, Nathan Wacker, Lucas Schneck, Alex Miller, and Hunter McNulty.

The Raiders should be locked and loaded, and ready to go next season.

I look for Logan View/Scribner-Snyder to have a nice offseason, and grow and mature as players and as young men.

The Raiders will have to break in a new quarterback, but I look for someone to step up and take control of the reigns for Logan View/Scribner-Snyder.

The Raiders are now on the map and are well on their way to becoming an established power I would say.

I think Logan View/Scribner-Snyder will continue to win and be really good as long as Sealey is there.

The Raiders will be back in the thick of the playoffs next year I would say.

Things figure to get a little trickier if Logan View/Scribner-Snyder jumps up to Class C-1, but there's no doubt the Raiders can adjust.

Look for Logan View/Scribner-Snyder to be a force in 2018.
