The James Logan Courier

The James Logan Girl’s Soccer team can only see the games they have been dealt with so far as ways of improvement.

The team finished off the preseason with a 2-6 record. They picked up wins against Granada and St. Mary’s High School. Their losses showcased several dominating teams: Castro Valley, Amador Valley, Foothill, California, San Ramon Valley and Livermore.

The Lady Colts have seen several teams from the difficult EBAL League and also have faced last year’s NCS Champions, San Ramon Valley.

Andrew Blevins scored the only goal of the contest, as Logan got their deal of revenge on the Washington Huskies on Wednesday night, shutting them out 1-0.

Last year, the Huskies eliminated the Colts from both the Mission Valley Athletic League Championships and the North Coast Section 3-A Playoffs. Despite winning the MVAL regular season title, there would be no cigars for the James Logan boy’s soccer team last season.

This year, the Colts turned the tables.

The 2007 James Logan Cross Country team hosted a banquet Thursday night to congratulate the team on another successful season, even though that expression was somewhat exaggerated.

The Boys Varsity team lost for the first time in years in the MVALS last month. Washington(27 points) had an astonishing display as they took the title with 5 of the 9 top finishers supporting one of their jerseys. American High School(67 points) reeled in second place and Logan with 82 points rounded out the top 3 teams. Martin Mwangi of Newark Memorial High School was the top finisher with an jaw-dropping 18:20 time at Coyote Hills. The Colt’s lone top 10 finisher was senior Hector Hernandez. Logan’s seven participants for the event showcased Hernandez, Miguel Rivas, Belal Mogaddedi, Ravi Patel, Andy An, Shaun Shutes and Nick Shutes.
