Logan beats up on Box Elder

Logan High ended its two game losing streak in a big way Thursday afternoon in Brigham City beating Box Elder High 11-2. The Grizzlies scored first and never looked back the rest of the way improving to a 5-3 record for the season.

After suffering two straight set backs by a combined four goals, Logan head coach Clay Christoffersen said it was important for them to come out and play like they did today.

“We came together as a team today and did a really good job executing the game plan,” Christoffersen said. “ We needed to win this game to get some momentum going into the home stretch of the regular season.”

Christoffersen said that his team has had problems finishing teams off this season but today was a different story.

“We played well as a team tonight, nine of our 11 goals were assisted on,” Logan midfielder Hunter Horsley said. “ That’s how we like to play lacrosse, sharing the ball and finding the open player for the goal.”

After a sloppy first quarter, the Grizzlies used a 5-0 run in the second quarter to take control of the game.

“ Having two full days of snow made it hard for us to prepare for the game,” Christoffersen said. “ It’s pretty cold out here but you have to expect that here in Utah this time of year, I am proud of the way we played tonight.”

Logan had seven different players find the back of the net Thursday. Hunter Horsley led the team with three goals and two assists. While Rio Thomas and Jorden Hansen both had two goals and two assists. Mason Ringle, Brandon Dodd, Chet Garlick and Noah Christoffersen each had one apiece, while Blake Chase scored both goals for Box Elder.

Bryan Hamblin had 11 saves for the Grizzlies and Mitchell Andersen had six saves for the Bees.


“We are excited about how we are playing right now,” Horsley added. “Bring on the next guys.”
