Logan wrestling barely lost to De La Salle in the NCS Duals tournament last weekend. Logan, which has never won a duals title, was so close Saturday, but ended up losing 39-31.

Logan, the number two seed, started the day against San Leandro High School, where they won every match and moved onto the next round against Castro Valley High School. Logan started the dual by winning the first eight matches leading 44-0. They ended up losing the next two matches, at the 145 and 152-weight class, but rebounded to win every match after. Logan defeated Castro Valley 61-9 and moved to the final round, where they faced the number 1 seed, De La Salle.

The James Logan Wrestling team had a decent showing at the Mission San Jose Invitational this past weekend, where they placed 3rd behind Clovis and De La Salle High School.

The Mission San Jose Invitational has been seen as the pre-NCS tournament in recent years because every team excluding Clovis and Gilroy (ranked 1 and 2 in state) are in NCS. So this tournament could really help a wrestler in the ranking or hurt them.

With the Winter sport’s season winding down, the Spring sports are just beginning. The James Logan Baseball team is gearing up for their season, as they try to bounce back from a disappointing season last year, when they missed the NCS playoffs for the first time in 15 years.

“Last season was hard to swallow because we probably had more talent than this year, but we are making that up with our great chemistry”, senior Richard Marques said.

TAMPA, Fla. — The final breathtaking play came with 35 seconds left Sunday night.

The ball floated toward the right side of the end zone. Somehow, with a defender on his back, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes stretched out, hauled in the ball and kept both sets of toes inbounds.
