Athens took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Friday. They blew past the Logan Chieftains 41-0. That's more bragging rights for the Bulldogs, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Anthony Sutton had a dynamite game, rushing for 232 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.6 yards per carry. That's the most rushing touchdowns he has posted since back in September of 2024. Another player making a difference was Daniel Heightland, who threw for 165 yards and three TDs while completing 87.5% of his passes.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Athens was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 274 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Logan only rushed for 103 rushing yards.
Another reason for the win was Athens' imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for 3.5 sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Jackson Broka, Isaiah Arocho, and Mason Sweeney, who each picked up 0.5 sacks apiece.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Athens will welcome Paint Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Logan, they will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on Nelsonville-York at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
