With 4:21 remaining in the second quarter, the Logan County Cougars had built a 35-0 lead and a running clock at Elizabethtown in the Region I semifinals of the Class 4A football playoffs tonight. Elijah Sells intercepted a Panther pass and returned it to the 15. After a 13-yard run by TySean Thomeczek, teammate Christian Helle bulled his way in from the two. Soon, freshman JB McTire intercepted another EHS pass and returned it 40 yards for a TD. Cooper Parker scored on a direct snap after Thomeczek had caught two Luke Rogers passes for 68 yards. Helle then scored on a 34-yard pass from Rogers. Parker recovered Caiden Kirby’s onside kick, leading to Thomeczek’s 1-yard run. Kirby connected on all five conversion kicks, running his streak to 30 in a row over the last five and a half games.
