The James Logan Colts faced off the Irvington Vikings at Irvington High School Jan. 25. It was a sloppy start in the first quarter for our Logan Colts being out scored by the Irvington Vikings 14 to 9.

“Our defense was sloppy from the start and our heads weren’t in the game.” said Trent Torain, a sophomore shooting guard for Logan.

“We came out big headed and lazy. We underestimated them, which let them get that early scoring run. We looked as if we were running in slow motion because we were not getting back on defense and they kept beating us on hustle plays.” Clarence Kaye, a junior point guard, said of the first quarter.

For 23 years, Don Cornelius hosted "Soul Train," "the hippest trip in America." For many young African-Americans and fans of R&B, soul and eventually hip-hop, the syndicated Saturday morning mainstay's tagline was the indisputable truth.

Cornelius was found dead Wednesday morning at his Los Angeles-area home of a gunshot wound, an apparent suicide. He was 75.

Back when Cornelius created the show in 1970, there was no MTV, no BET, no VH1, no record label-driven YouTube channels. There was just "American Bandstand" and "Soul Train."

From wikipedia:
Edward "Sonny" Stitt (February 2, 1924 – July 22, 1982) was an American jazz saxophonist. He was a quintessential saxophonist of the bebop idiom. He was also one of the most prolific saxophonists, recording over 100 records in his lifetime. He was nicknamed the "Lone Wolf" by jazz critic Dan Morgenstern, due to his relentless touring and his devotion to jazz.

Life and works
Stitt was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and grew up in Saginaw, Michigan. Stitt had a musical background; his father taught music, his brother was a classically trained pianist, and his mother was a piano teacher. His earliest recordings were from 1945, with Stan Getz and Dizzy Gillespie. He had also experienced playing in some swing bands, though he mainly played in bop bands. Stitt featured in Tiny Bradshaw's big band in the early forties.
