tory number five. No one who saw the game will ever forget big Duke Dalton's stretching high in the air to knock down a sure three points and the sight of the Logan cheering section coming to life as McKinley scooped the blocked field goal attempt and raced unmolested into the Logan end zone for a sweet six points. Victory number five in the SEOAL, after many years of being intimi- dated by the Ironton Tigers, was oh so sweet In a night of big plays that featured three touchdown passes that swarmed all over the Jackson Ironmen going away 52-12, no game was probably more highlighted by defense. McKinley recorded 19 tackles, Rolan 13, and Tucker recorded 12. Gasser continued his drive on all passing records with an 8 13 passing night and 144 yards. John Kemper proved this night he could also throw the ball when he completed a 35 yard option pass to Armstrong for a touchdown. Victory number six was in the bag, victory number three in the SEOAL. The following week the Chiefs finally received the state recognition that they deserved when they were named for the first time in history as one of the 10 best teams in the state. Logan remained perfect by beating Wav erly 42-0. Kemper gained 132 yards. Emer son added 62 yards in 10 carries, and Tucker proved that he could run as well as block with 51 yards on just four carries. Gasser continued his pursuit of the records with 6 9 passes for 114 yards. The Logan defense continued to play stick'em football. Victory number seven belonged to the purple and white, victory number four in the SEOL. No one had to ask who we were playing the following week, for the cries vibrating through the halls were BEAT Athens. The Athens Bulldogs came into Logan with a per feet record in the SEOAL, not having allowed an opponent to cross their goal line in the past 15 quarters. Gasser made quick work of that record as he repeatedly riddled the Bull dog's secondary with strike after strike. When the smoke had settled, Gasser had hurled four touchdown passes. The stingy Logan defense again played super football keeping the Bulldogs in check until the out come was well-assured. Victory number eight was well deserved, number five in the SEOAL. The Chieftains, with an opportunity to clinch at least a share of the league crown, played spiritless for nearly a half before capi- talizing on the two Meig's errors near the end of the second quarter for a 14-0 lead. No game was probably more determined by the defense. The defense was simply terrific. Victory number nine, number six in the SEOAL, a share of the crown belonged to the Chiefs. A happy group of Chieftains celebrated victory number 10. The clear title to the SEOAL crown assured state ranking and a perfect 10-0 record. The dedication that started way back who knows when was never more evident than during the second half when Logan methodically both offensively and defensively destroyed the Gallipolis Blue Devils' hopes of a major upset by burying them 35-6. The team of destiny filled with character, poise, and talent, had left its mark on the history of the little community nestled in the Hocking Hills. Victory number 10 was oh so-sweet, number seven in the SEOAL was wrapped up. ABOVE: Marty Hallett, eyes a defender as he caught a pass for yardage.
