October was Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and the Youth Advisory Board sold ribbons for $1.00 in Colt Court to help support the cause and raise awareness, as well as encouraging people to wear purple. The purple ribbons are seen as symbols of “courage, survival, honor and dedication to ending domestic violence” (http://dvam.vawnet.org/about/index.php). The Youth Advisory Board meets at the Health Center on Tuesday afternoons.

Domestic violence is a serious issue in the world, and should be important to teens at Logan because it is the late teen age group most likely to be abused. The federal government has passed legislation dealing with domestic violence, but it continues to exist.

The James Logan Colts were defeated in the first round of the NCS championship playoffs by a very good Foothill team. Their division 1 bound quarterback threw for a NCS record 581 yards and 5 touchdowns. The game finished with a score of 59-37.

We received the ball first and their defense forced a three and out which hurt our defense. They proceeded to open the aerial attack and scored quickly. On our next possession we were forced to punt again and once again they scored. Things were not looking good for us. Our offense finally woke up and put together a good drive until a false start stalled the drive which resulted in a field goal.
