By: WESTON GORDON

The Logan Wildcats (7-2) are set to play their final regular-season game tomorrow, Friday, November 7, 2025, in a crucial Class AA matchup against the Westside Renegades (4-5). This game serves as the final tune-up and a chance to lock in their best possible seeding for the upcoming WVSSAC State Playoffs.

📅 The Final Test: Logan at Westside

Logan's Edge: The Momentum and Defense

The Wildcats are rolling off a dominant 41-6 victory over St. Albans and are looking to recapture the form that saw them win five games this season by 22 points or more. Logan's success has been heavily reliant on their stout defense, which has only allowed an average of around 14 points per game this season.

• Key Offensive Players: The attack is balanced, with contributions from QB Adam Baisden and playmakers like Lucas Lambert (82 receiving yards, 2 TDs in the last game), Caleb Johnson(94 total yards, 1 TD), and the illusive sophomore sensation Luvante Kinney.

• Defensive Standouts: The defensive line, featuring players like Braxton Wolford, Rob Ball, and Jaxon McClung, has been disruptive, tallying sacks and forcing turnovers.

Westside's Challenge: Breaking the Skid

The Westside Renegades have struggled recently, dropping their last two contests, including a close 12-8 loss to Shady Spring. While they have a winning percentage of .500 on the season, they face a tough task against a high-powered and motivated Logan squad.

• The Renegades will need a flawless performance to slow down Logan's balanced attack and generate consistent offense against the Wildcats' top-tier defensive unit.

Prediction: Logan is strongly favored to win this matchup, with a high win probability. A victory will solidify a high seed—likely potentially within the top 10 of the Class AA rankings—heading into the postseason. Meanwhile, a win for Westside could potentially earn them a Cinderella spot in the playoffs.

🏆 Playoff Outlook: Locked and Loaded for Class AA

With their 7-2 record, the Logan Wildcats are currently ranked high in the WVSSAC Class AA Football Ratings (recently listed as high in the  #12 spot). Regardless of the outcome against Westside, Logan has done enough to earn a spot in the playoffs.

• Current Status: A win would help the Wildcats either hold or improve their position, possibly setting them up for a first-round home playoff game.

The Wildcats' goal tomorrow night is simple: win with authority, ensure key players stay healthy, and gather one final surge of momentum before the intensity of the state playoffs begins. While the Renegades look to play spoiler and sneak into the playoffs.
