Northern Guilford Renamed - T.J. Logan HS
anybody else impressed by this guy?...
RE: Northern Guilford Renamed - T.J. Logan HS
He's an outstanding running back but NG showed a complete lack of class with scoring the last touchdown on a totally unnecessary fake punt ... coaches and football fans will remember that far longer than TJ scoring 8 touchdowns.
RE: Northern Guilford Renamed - T.J. Logan HS
Agree scousler. I've never seen such a talented running back in a championship game. Congratulations to Logan and the NG team. But that last TD on a fake punt was a show of no class
RE: Northern Guilford Renamed - T.J. Logan HS
Coaches like sending their seniors out with a bang... But I don't know about the fake punt..
RE: Northern Guilford Renamed - T.J. Logan HS
NG is a new HS only 5 years old that draws a decent majority of the quality athletes from one of the largest counties in NC. Consider it a magnet school for athletes because of its new facilities, well paid coaches. They will be a power for years to come until the NCHSAA figures out a way to keep these schools from doing this sort of thing. Much diminished respect for them after learning of this.

I would hate to see that outstanding performance clouded because of "running up the score" mess. If you know me, you know I don't put much into claims of running up the score ever, but especially not in a state championship game. An opportunity to break records like that comes once in a lifetime. This was his last HS game. Good for him.
As for his performance, I don't even know what to say. What I just saw was the most amazing individual performance I have seen in a high schol football game.
28 carries, 510 yards and 8 touchdowns... with an interception on defense.
Amazing.

Then Roscoe should be HONEST and just say that, Nick. Instead, Roscoe's explanation in the interview after the game contradicted Logan's. Roscoe told Solarte he didn't want to get anyone hurt by punting. Then, Logan says Roscoe asked him if he wanted another td to match his number. It was classless and showed a lack of sportsmanship.

Congrats to the young man. I thought I had a treat watching Greg Williams rush for 484 on 34 carries against Leesville a few yrs ago. But to hear a kid rushed for over 500 yards in a state championship against the best, is eye popping.

That was not my team, so if you're referring to me, think again. You have your opinion, I have mine. Bad call on Roscoe's part to fake the punt with such a huge lead. Worse yet was his excuse in the post game interview that he did it because didn't want to see someone hurt on the punt return. I guess he didn't count on TJ contradicting his excuse in a matter of minutes. Tarnished an otherwise excellent effort by Logan and the NG team.
