Please...no whining about how Logan is on the 3A/4A border. Logan is a 3A
school, so get over it.
Logan Fan! | 12:59 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007

Good thing you have friends in high places. Logan's state titles before
pickin on the little guys in 3A:0. State titles after starting to play teams
with 1,000 less students: 2. Congratulations! Hope you're happy.
JUDGE FAN | 2:32 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
WOW! Great game plan. Kick our behinds. Well done and well deserved. Congrats
from the bulldog nation!
3A Fan | 4:40 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Congrats to Logan..Another example of the diveristy in 3A this year. Every
region had it's strength's and weaknesses. This years title came down
to who showed up to play and turnovers. With some of the issues 4A and 5A had
this year(fights,transfers, walk-outs) its great to see the example 3A set this
year with their sportsmanship and style of football.
Kudo's also to the coaches, students and parents.

Yes, Coach Favero truly is "one of Utah's most brilliant offensive
minds."He consistently puts together successful teams. At the first of the
season no one expected this team to go far because of most of last years
starters had graduated but Favero did it again. He created another championship
team. He is also a champion in the classroom. I know a young man who was obese
and was not a football player but took a conditioning class from Favero. With
Favero's knowledge, help and positive encouragement the young man was able
to lose over 30 pounds. He is a changed young man. Logan is lucky to have Mike
Favero as a coach and teacher

Lets see... Pinview, Dixie and Snow Canyon are the same size schools or a little
smaller and they are 4A!
3A fan | 7:53 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Like I said best 4A team In 3A...............
Grizz Fan | 8:04 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Way to go Logan! Congratulations for winning another State football
championship and beating a fine Judge Memorial team. Great coaching by Favero
and his assistants. The Logan players have shown a lot of heart during their
miracuolous playoff run. You make Cache Valley proud. Congratulations also to
Sky View and Mountain Crest for great seasons. Maybe next year Mountain Crest
will let Logan play them in the preseason to add to the excitement of high
school football!
Football Fan | 8:07 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Dixie, Snow Canyon and Pineview are all the same size schools or even smaller
and they are 4A
Re: Braden | 8:53 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Check your facts buddy. PV was actually bigger than Logan in 2005.
Dave | 9:10 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Great game logan. You truly are champs.Godos to the logan fans, staff and
comunity. A.J. would be proud.Cant wait for next year.
check your data | 9:20 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
To Braden-Check your data. LHS won the 4A State Championship in 2000 under
Coach Favero. LHS first year in 3A was 2005. That year they won the 3A
championship but they also beat Skyline that year in a non region game.
Skyline was the eventual 5A champion that year.
LOGAN! | 9:33 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Quit your crying please! STATE CHAMPS BABY!
HS Football Fan | 10:05 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
I like how Judge Memorial auctioned off the game ball earlier this week. I
wonder what the poor guy that bought it is going to get now.
UHSAA | 10:07 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Maybe we can get them to help out college teams. You know, like USC can play
Dixie State or Snow College to make the PAC-10 more fair.
UHSAA has always had to stack the deck against certain schools and will continue.

To: Deseret News | 10:10 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
I love how deseret news will come out on the Timpview article and say we are not
going to post anything about recruiting, but they post all these comments about
the size differences in schools on this one. I just love how biased this paper
is. I've lived in Russia before, and I've never seen such leading
propaganda as I see in the Deseret News.
Grizz Facts | 10:47 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Actually Braden and Anonymous, Logan was the smallest 4a school in the state for
many years. In 2000 just a year before moving down to 3a they beat Springville
for the 4a state title. In 2005 they played several 4a and even 5a schools,
beating the eventual 5a champs that year and long-time powerhouse Skyline en
route to another state title. So Logan High has been beating-up on more than
the "little guys" for some time now. So much so that their long-time
biggest rival Mountain Crest will not play them for fear of getting beat by one
of the "little guys". Logan has worked for and deserved everything
that they have achieved. People may try and make excuses, but nobody can take
that away from them. Coach Favero is the best in the State.

Congratulations Logan for winning the 4A championship............I mean 3A
Championship!
Mr Football | 11:38 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Good Job Logan!! Lets face it, Logan won because of the turnovers and the poor
coaching from Judge. Judge i think tried to run the same plays over and over and
twice on third and one tried to to pitch it. Again the coaches lost a big game
for the bulldogs, repeat from last year.
Braden | 11:42 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
The disparity between the biggest school in 3A and the smallest (Delta, who
Logan needed a miracle to beat), is bigger than the difference of all the other
classifications combined.
Judge.... | 11:46 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Wish you wouldn't have auctioned off OUR game ball earlier in the week,
gadda feel a little dumb about that one :) LOGAN STATE CHAMPS!!!07!!!
to logan-haters | 11:52 a.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Ben Lomond and Ogden High are not much bigger then Logan High, and do you see
anyone complaining about them..? Just cause Logan has a great program and great
coaching doesn't mean they should be playing 4A
TO: Braden | 12:09 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Thanks man, way to show that its not about the size its about the heart and who
wants it more. logan came out fire-up and more excited then Judge and the score
shows it.
outsider | 12:29 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
i think logan should drop to 2A now...why not? they are going to be down another
5 kids for next year. the uhsaa is a joke and so is logan for feeling good about
diving down a classification.
Braden | 12:38 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Sorry guys for being such a cry baby, but when I think of some other excuses I
will post again. My life is all about making excuses...I blame it on all those
mean people at school.
Numbers Numbers Numbers | 12:53 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
re: Braden
Braden your numbers are probably pretty skewed. Logan High has grades 9-12, while most schools in the state do not count 9th grade numbers. You can take a quarter away from what ever number you are looking at because those are ninth grade students and are not counted among most other high school enrollment numbers.

i bet you are the kind of person at work that just always whines about
something. Most likely you have grown up with always having an excuse why you
did get the award and someone else did and then you would always act like you
didn't want it anyway. You probably sit at work and complain to what ever
co-worker has to put up with you as you bad talk any othe coworker that shows
success. guess what, whine all you want, but Logan is still champions for this
year and if they end up moving back to 4A one day, they will be competitive
there too, then when they win the championship there again one day, what excuse
will you have then. Oh, I can hear you now, "I hope Logan is happy with
their 4A title, but they should have to play at 5A, because wah, wha, wha,
wha...........
Braden | 1:33 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
I think it says it all when Logan was given the option at the end of last year
to either go back to 4A with Dixie, PV and SC, or stay 3A. One year later,
they're still beating up on the little guys. If Logan's so big and
bad, why then didn't they opt to face stiffer competition? Give me a break.
And even counting 9th grade, the smallest schools in 3A still have 1,000 less
students.
To Grizz Facts | 1:32 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Congrats on Logan winning a title, they deserve it and are a quality team.
About Mt. Crest, they just have a philosophy of playing bigger and better teams
in the preseason to get them ready for region and state, it has NOTHING to do
with not wanting to lose to a "little guy".
Logan Fan | 1:39 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Way to go Logan!! Excuses excuses excuses.... Logan kicked butt yesterday and
that's why you lost Judge. Top to bottom Logan is by far the superior
team.
- | 2:15 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
If Logan would be like all the other 4A teams and only have there schools
consisting of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors only, logan would only have 1000
students. for three classes!
Braden | 2:19 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
See I found something else to cry about!
To dumb bum braden | 2:22 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
so braden you're saying that the small 3A schools have only 300 students?
wow
JM Alum | 2:22 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Congratulations to Logan HS. Simply put, Judge was outcoached and outplayed by
a talented and tenacious Grizzly team. Logan was dominant and deserve the 3A
championship title. Very impressed with all aspects of their game. Congrats
also to Judge Memorial on a fine season. Hold your heads high, and next year,
please hold on to the the ball.
Anonymous | 2:35 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Each of Logan's classes have more students than delta high has in their
whole school. that's not right.
To - | 2:15 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007 | 2:47 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Not true. Check your facts. Logan has 1220 in three grades per the UHSAA
statistics. Given that Juan Diego has 570 in three grades, 40 more than the 2A
classification. Judge only 53 more. And think of Emery and Delta. They sure were
ready to throw them out.
I dislike how the UHSAA operates. It doesn't help those of us from out of state recruiting in Utah other than the 5A division.

confused | 3:06 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
how are you going to say logan is "beating up on the little guys"
when they were picked to lose by every newspaper in the state?
Solution! | 3:24 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
I know what we need to do to make things fair. Move Logan back to 4A, Judge to
2A and move Timpview to the Mountain West. Problem solved. Way to go Grizz!
LHS Fan | 7:28 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Congrats to both teams. It seemed to just be Logans night. I was wondering
what the striped stocking worn by all of the Judge players meant. Does anyone
know ?
Logan alum | 7:44 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
As of 2006, Logan had 1220, Pine view had 1427, Dixie had 1300. These are for
the top three grades only. Other points of interest are Skyline is 5A but has
a smaller enrollment than 9 4A teams. Current or year old numbers are only part
of the equation. you must also consider whether enrollments are trending up or
down. Logan's is basically flat with the prediction of declining
enrollments in the future.
There are 2 4A schools smaller than Logan, Highland and Snow Canyon. Juan Diego is at 570 and Judge is at 605. The largest 2A school is Juab at 438.
This is Logan's 6th state championship. The first three were 3A but that was before there was a 5A so 3A was the second largest division.

Delta has 450. To tell them they have to compete against 1,220 kids is
ridiculous. I don't know how anyone would feel good about that.
To: Logan Fan | 8:41 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Logan played a great game last night, and Judge was definitely out coached. But
please get it right, you don't see any comments from Judge on here making
excuses. Also, both teams are great, but to say that Logan is a better team top
to bottom is wrong. We beat you soundly at the beginning of the season. That
night was our night. You beat us soundly last night. That was your night. You
know what they say in football.....any team can beat any team, on any given day.
That is the beauty of football. Great game to all.
Enrollment Issues | 9:04 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Nobody feels especially good about Delta only having 450 and competing against
larger schools, but I didn't see any complaining coming from their fans.
They are a class act and just prepared and played the schedule they were dealt,
as did Logan when it won the 4A title in 2000, despite being the 2nd smallest 4A
team in the State.
It looks like Logan will soon be back in 4A and all the whining can stop. Logan will not whine about it, they will just prepare and play who they need to play, and they will be one of the smallest 4A schools in the State. Hopefully by then Timpview players will have graduated to the NFL and we will have a chance:)
Congrats to Logan on a great season! You guys are State Champions!!!!!
Championship coaching, Championship conditioning, Championship playing. 2007 State Champions!!!

Dawg Fan | 10:32 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
It is what it is! Logan was a better prepared team then the Dawgs. I still
believe Judge is a better team with better athletes. It just did'nt show on
Friday. Hats off to the Logan coaching staff, the real winners of the game.
Region 10 is still the toughest region and will be for years to come. Logan has
won their last trophy for awhile. Relish while you can. Logan will be this years
Bear River next year.
to Dawg Fan | 11:29 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
Dont auction off next years game ball yet.LHS team strength in athletes is just
coming to the surface.
to enrollment issues | 11:46 p.m. Nov. 17, 2007
You talk about Logan being the one of the smallest 4A schools, but what are the
4A numbers?? 1200 - 1500 or something like that? That doesn't even
compare with 3A that is 450 - 1200. That is a joke and so unfair. It might
change if the "big" schools along the Wasatch front would quit
complaining about having to travel more that 20 minutes to a game!! I guess if
you feel good about beating teams that you are 3 times bigger than good for you.
