The fourth quarter was where Logan fans were getting amped up and anxious to
see if the score board would hit triple digits. Logan defeated Kennedy 100-38.
“The game was big because we dropped 100 points and it sets the tone for us on

trying to compete everyday.”

underdogs,” says Point Guard, Andre Reyes.
