That's a tough schedule for the Cougars. 

I would say they will beat Russellville and Calloway, but wins will be hard to come by after that.

I could see Logan going 2-8 or 7-3. There are just a lot of unknowns on their schedule.

• What does the next wave of Hart Co. look like?
• Will McCracken ever start to look like the big-school power we thought them to be?
• Greenwoods DC just went to Mason Co., and Greenwood was solid on D. What will they look like in 2025?
• Can Allen replace those high-production guys they lost? 
•  How good will PT actually be? 
• Is Franklin Simpson football just no longer Franklin Simpson football?
• Dane Parsley graduated from East and takes 99.9% of their offensive production with him. What will they look like in '25?

The South Warren game is baffling for both schools. I know Logan beat South in '22, but that was about as good a Logan team as there has ever been, and that South team was in utter freefall. 

 

Agree with all of @VF111 items here!  Tough schedule.  South game has always been a head scratcher.  Those district games will be entertaining, I think.

Logan County needs to make a trade with South Warren to Play Christian County at the last game of the regular Season so South Warren and Paducah Tilghman can play each other for a challenge to get them both ready for the postseason.

 

It’s became a habit of mine for a couple of years now to give Coach Adler his flowers every chance I can. Just a decade ago these Cougars were getting obliterated by Bowling Green 91-10 and hoisting a 42 game losing streak spanning from the end of 2012 all the way until week 10 of the 2016 season. A complete transformation from what it was to the present day, and they have become a formidable opponent for the majority of South Central KY. 

On to the bad news, what the Cougars hoped to be an experienced SR QB leading this team come Fall, Ridge Holman is now a student at the Davidson Academy (TN). In my opinion with the graduations of Parsley and James from WE and PT, the 6’4 200lb Holman would’ve been touted the best QB in the 6 team district and possibly the region. A loss of that substance will not be replenished overnight, I’m unsure who will take the reigns of this Cougars offense but whoever that may be they’ll be surrounded by quite a few experienced teammates so the transition may not be too bad.

Players to watch:

Cooper Parker (SR) - 6’3 220 TE/DE/LB, has the size and also the speed to go along with it. He led the team in rushing TD’s with 5 last year on just 30 carries and had 57 tackles on defense as well. He’s just a football player, I expect a bigger role defensively, and offensively as well by getting more touches outside of the red area.

Maliq Ford (JR) - 6’4 275 OT, great size and strength, after getting the first year jitters off I believe this young man will start dominating the LOS the next couple of years.

Tysean Thomeczek (SO) - 5’7 150 RB/WR/FS, had a really great year for a freshman at the varsity level. A few picks defensively with 27 tackles, while also hauling in 30 catches for 408 and 5 scores. Very shifty and has a knack for the ball. 

The team has a lot of hidden speed, had Damani Goodloe (SR) hit a top speed 20.8mph thanks to some fancy tracking vest they were using but if Adler can find ways to get that speed in space it could be the difference in a few wins or losses. They do a good job of getting everyone involved in their game plan. It can be difficult to scheme against a team with a plethora of options but if they’re not great at what they need to do it can cause an implosion from within due to nobody knowing who is going to make that play when needed. If their QB would have stayed I would’ve had this team winning 7 games and possibly hosting a playoff game, but with the most important position on the field being filled by an inexperienced player it’s hard for me to see them breaking .500. 

Best of luck to Coach Adler and those Cougars of Logan County; should be some really fun games for them, opening with Hart County will be a great test to start, ending with the Spartans though? While that is probably not the best idea, not shying away from the competition you have to find a way to respect it.

Probably a connection between the coaches. I'd guess there's something about Logan County (usually solid, fundamentally sound program) that South Warren likes as preparation for the postseason.

To be honest, very easy game (I'm not a Logan County hater, but South is an upper level 5A now 6A team and Logan County is a good 4A team), lower risk of getting anybody hurt right before the playoffs.

I'm playing devil's advocate obviously, but based on historical scheduling think it fits here.

But:

Aug 26, 2011	Logan County	24	South Warren	13
Aug 24, 2012	South Warren	36	Logan County	0
Aug 30, 2013	South Warren	50	Logan County	0
Aug 29, 2014	South Warren	52	Logan County	0
Nov 1, 2019	South Warren	53	Logan County	6
Oct 29, 2021	South Warren	41	Logan County	3
Oct 28, 2022	Logan County	27	South Warren	17
Oct 26, 2023	South Warren	42	Logan County	6
Nov 1, 2024	South Warren	49	Logan County	7

 

The defense rests.....
