LOGAN (Dec. 19) -- It wasn’t easy, but then again it rarely is when AHSTW plays a boys basketball game at Logan-Magnolia. Leading by 17 points late in the third quarter, the 6th-ranked (1A) Vikings needed two free throws from senior big man Michael Mantell with :01.3 left to outlast the Panthers...
LOGAN (Dec. 19) -- It took the AHSTW girls more than three and a half quarters to grab their first lead against Logan-Magnolia, but once over the hump they were not going to be denied.
