Logan was trailing 9-6 at the end of the first quarter but went on a 14-0 run to start the second to take a 20-9 lead it wouldn't relinquish. The Longhorns also went on a 12-0 run to start the third period to effectively put the game away.
“Both teams had a hard time scoring in the first half,” Logan coach Kyle Griffiths said. “Once we got going in transition in the second half, we wore them down.”
