The James Logan Courier

By Cameron Lacson, Courier Sports Writer

The James Logan Varsity Boys basketball lost to Newark Memorial on Tuesday night in the Cougar’s home court. This is the Colts’ second Mission Valley Athletic League loss this season, and they have both been to the Cougars.

Logan put up a good fight through the first, second, and third quarter. First quarter ended with 12-14, second quarter with 32-33, and third quarter with 49-50.

The Colts were at their best at 6:31 left in the third quarter when they were leading 38-33. However, when fourth quarter approached Newark’s intensity grew to its highest level, as they were non-stop scoring and leaving Logan with little time to catch up.

At the end of the night, the Colts failed to win the game leaving the scoreboard reading 60-74. Logan is temporarily the second place team in the Mission Valley Athletic League.

Logan’s league record falls to 9-2, while Newark stays undefeated with 11-0. Logan’s spot in the MVAL will be determined when they play against the American Eagles on Thursday night in the Logan Pavilion. The game will proceed at 7:30 pm.
