Logan at one point had a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter before Legacy mounted a small rally.

“It was a tough game in a good environment,” Logan coach Kyle Griffiths said. “We battled them last year in the playoffs, so we know they could come out and give everything they had. I’m proud of the way our guys handled the adversity and finished the game.”

Hayden Bruhn led Logan with 26 points, while Mason Wallin added 10 points.

Legacy fell to 2-3.

Texico surged to a 30-point lead at halftime during a 79-37 victory over visiting Tucumcari on Dec. 5.
