• 2026 Countdown to Kickoff: Logan County Cougars (wbko.com) — Logan County's football team is gearing up for 2026 with a seasoned offense, a standout defense, and a clear goal of avenging last year's playoff loss to Paducah Tilghman. Players and coaches say that defeat, including a key failed fourth-and-one, is driving a tougher mindset. Paducah fans may circle the Oct. 2 rematch, when Tilghman visits Logan County.
