Nine Logan County Cougar football players were selected to the All-SKY Conference Large Division teams last Thursday night at Greenwood High School.
Selections in the Large Division were made by the head coaches in Class 4-A, 5-A, and Class 6-A in South Central Kentucky.
Logan County senior defensive lineman Isaac Poe was selected to the First Team Defense while senior defensive lineman Payton Taylor and linebacker junior Eli Hawkins were selected to the Second Team Defense.

He has forced a fumble, recovered two, and returned one for a touchdown with an interception, and returned it for a touchdown.
Senior running back Ryan Rayno along with senior lineman Kadin Switzer were selected to First Team Offense. Junior quarterback Davin Yates, senior wide receiver Zane Batten, senior lineman Jaxon Kenner and sophomore kicker Kyla Bilyeu were selected to the Second Team Offense.
Kenner and Switzer were part of an offense that accumulated 4,810 yards of offense. Rayno has rushed for 2,030 yards on 243 carries for 23 touchdowns along with eight receptions for 93 yards. Yates has completed 139 of 244 passes for 1,778 yards for 21 touchdowns with eight interceptions. He has 368 yards rushing on 76 carries for six touchdowns. Batten leads the team with 39 receptions for 553 yards for seven touchdowns and has a rushing attempt for 4 yards. Kilyeu converted 51 of her 56 extra-point attempts and made one of her two field goal attempts.
“This is awesome,” Cougars’ head coach Todd Adler said. “This is by far the most players we have ever selected for a Logan County team. We have several players that deserved the recognition but there is so much talent in our area. Lots of talented teams with talented players so having nine players selected is humbling and it’s a great honor for our kids to be recognized. And it is really awesome to have the first girl to be selected. For what Kyla (Bilyeu) does for our team is awesome and for her to be recognized against some talented male players is really awesome for her and Logan County High School.”
