The Logan Colts expect to impress their fans for homecoming this Friday when they take on Fremont's John F. Kennedy High School.

The Colts are coming off a 35-7 trouncing of Washington High last Saturday. In that game, quarterback Rashad Evans ran wild against the Huskies, scoring three touchdowns and running for more than 250 yards.

If the past is prologue, this week's game against JFK shouldn’t even be close and Logan should rack up tons of yards on the ground. The Colts are way too much for Kennedy to handle. Logan is ranked second in the East Bay and Kennedy isn’t even considered competitive in the MVAL. The Colts should excite everyone for homecoming with their explosive offense. They are very well capable of putting up 50 or more points against JFK.

The Colts Girls Golf team finished 3rd in the HAAL (Hayward Area Athletic League) tournament at Metropolitan par 72 Golf Course in Oakland Monday.

Although Logan’s team total of 502 strokes was more than Castro Valley’s 432 and Mission San Jose’s 417, they still managed to beat San Leandro’s 513, which was their goal. The team total of 502 is a team best for the Colts this season.

Sophomore Alexa Rocero said, “I feel very accomplished because we exceeded our expectations.”

Former James Logan High School student Candice Nguyen has spent the last six weeks studying in Beijing, China, and now she's writing about her adventures in a weekly column that debuted yesterday in the Argus.

Nguyen, a Class of 2006 graduate and former ASB School Board representative, ventured long distances in the beginning of her adulthood by traveling to New York from California. She is now a NYU sophomore who is spending time studying in China.

On Wednesday, the Argus, the local newspaper, published Nguyen's article entitled ‘China---a study in fascination". In the article, she described her experiences of living in a new setting.

It's the first in a series of articles on her trip she's agreed to write for the Argus.

It’s that time again: time to show your school spirit during Spirit Week. Wednesday was Wild, Wild West Day for seniors; Greek Day for juniors; Rockstar Day for sophomores; and Oldskool Day for freshmen.

The seniors were all about cowboys. Andrea Pierce, Irena Headley, and Andreas Ramirez claimed they dressed up “as much as we could.” When asked how they liked the themes so far, they agreed that “Nerd Day” (Monday) was the best. “Prison Break Day” (Tuesday) didn’t get such positive feedback. Irena Headley said “'Prison Break' was the hardest—it was like, what are we supposed to do?”
