The James Logan Varsity Wrestling Team have been nothing less than impressive so far, and with just a couple of weeks to go are trying to put the finishing touches on a memorable season.
They are currently tied for first place with the Newark Memorial cougars. They also have nine wrestlers that are ranked in the top eight in the NCS as from last year when they only had six. As of today’s NCS team rankings the Colts are seeded fourteen. However, if the Colts win the rest of their matches, they have an opportunity to slip into the top ten.

The James Logan Girls Soccer team have gone pointless in their last four games, have only one winning streak on the entire year, had four‑game losing streaks twice and own a miserable 5‑13‑4 Overall record.
Yet, they have managed to keep their chins up. After all, they are tied for third place in the MVALs.

It was not pretty for American, but they managed to rally for a pair of goals in the second half to steal a 2-1 win at Fremont Tuesday night.
Logan jumped out in front early off a goal from Jessica Panuco assisted by Cassandra Deleon. All was going right for the Lady Colts as they maintained the 1-0 lead going into the locker room.
But the second half was a different story.
