It's been a rough start to the season for Athens, to say the least. After its second conference loss last week against Vinton County, Athens fell to 0-5 on the season, remaining tied for last in the Tri-Valley Ohio conference.
The Bulldogs (0-5, 0-2 TVC-Ohio) will be in the hunt for their first win of the season this weekend as they take on their non-conference rivals, the Chieftains (1-4, 0-0 Freelance Conference).
To win against Logan, Athens needs to start capitalizing on offense. Athens has not put up more than two touchdowns during any of its first five games this season, being outscored by a combined total of 148-34.
