The Logan Varsity Football team is looking to continue its winning ways tonight, after destroying Mission Valley Athletic League rival Irvington High last weekend.

Last Friday night, the Colts piled up 48 points against the Irvington Vikings at Tak Fundenna field.

Logan won the toss and chose to receive the ball to start the first half. They scored on their very first play of the game with touchdown run from running back Miles Long.

Olympic Silver Medalist and Logan graduate Stephen Abas is helping one of his former teachers promote her new business by holding wrestling and mixed martial arts clinics there this weekend.

Abas will appear Saturday and Sunday at Tatami Multi-Arts, opened recently in El Cerrito by former Logan teacher Margaret Klatt Lowry and her husband, Adam.

Tatami Multi-Arts, a practice and work-out space for yoga and a variety of martial arts, is located at 9951 San Pablo Ave. in El Cerrito. For $60 a day, or $100 for both days, those interested in wrestling and mixed martial arts can learn some mat skills during the two four hour clinics from one of the best wrestlers in U.S. history.

SAN FRANCISCO — Ben Francisco's desperation heave floated into Roy Oswalt's glove, a few feet short of home plate where Aubrey Huff slid unnecessarily. The pitcher scooped it in one motion and shook his head as he was surrounded by Giants storming the field.

Game 4 was over, a bizarre 6-5 victory by San Francisco to push the Phillies to the brink of elimination in the National League Championship Series. And this one was as demoralizing as they come for the Phillies.

Last season the Logan girls' softball team had their goals set high and after winning the North Coast Section title, they look to stay at the top this season.

Going into the season last year, the Lady Colts had only three seniors on the team. Knowing they would be a young team without much experience on varsity, Coach Teri Johnson, named the California Coach of the Year in June, demanded that the players work very hard and their hard work paid off: they won the Mission Valley Athletic League crown, earning them a spot in the North Coast Section tournament.

They breezed through the first three games of NCS, earning them a spot in the championship game against powerhouse Freedom High School, who also won three games to get to the championship game.

The James Logan Colts played against the Heritage Patriots last Friday, but the Colts were not as mighty against the Patriots.

Both teams came into the game with two solid defense, although the Patriots' defense wasn’t able to stop Logan running back Miles Long from a 26-yard touchdown run. Still, the field goal was blocked, which kept the score at 6-0 with 9: 32 left in the first quarter.

Although Logan drew first blood, the Patriots struck right back with an 80-yard drive in 18 plays as Heritage player Kruger Story, Jr. scored and ended the clock with 16 seconds left in the first half.
