McCracken edges Cougars 44-43 in OT
The Logan County Cougars seemed to have an impressive road win in hand Friday when they went up 36-21 on the McCracken County Mustangs early in the fourth quarter. Soon afterwards, the entire atmosphere changed when Logan star lineman Maliq Ford objected so strongly against an official’s ruling that he was issued his second and then third unsportsmanlike conduct penalties of the game. Not only was he ejected from the game, which resulted in 30 gift penalty yards to the Mustangs, putting the ball deep in Cougar territory, but it also sapped the energy out of the Cougars and seemed to convince the officials the Cougars could do nothing right. They called penalties galore and ejected sophomore JB McTire from the game for rejoicing at having caught a first-down pass. Not only had Mctire scored two touchdowns but he is the Cougar punter. The Logan snapper and the backup punter didn’t connect in the last minute of regulation, and the resulting safety tied the game, sending it into overtime. Logan’s Lane Bush ran for a touchdown and Ethan Scarbrough kicked the extra point to give the Cougars a good chance to win at 43-36. McCracken, however, scored on its overtime possession and then added the two-point conversion for the 44-43 win.

Logan scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 5-yard run by JB Mctire and a Scarbrough kick with 19 seconds until halftime. Lane Bush had some key runs for the Cougars.

The Logan County Cougars scored a touchdown on each of their first six possessions in their season opener Friday in the Lewisburg Bank Bowl at home.

Soccer player Ethan Scarbrough kicked four extra points in his football debut. Carson Carlock ran for 44 yards on the first offensive play of the game, but then settled in to leading the powerful defense.

Helle didn’t play in the second half and still totaled 86 yards rushing on five carries and connected on 10 of 12 passes for 162 yards.
