As Logan teacher Shane Henderson starts his second year as head coach of the James Logan boys water polo team, he believes the team has a chance to go to th NCS tournament and win the MVAL title.

The team took a step toward that goal Friday night with a thrilling 5-4 defeat of Concord in double overtime. Andres Galvez scored his second goal of the night on a 6 on 5 man up situation with a minute and a half remaining in the second overtime to put us ahead. Also scoring two goals was Michael Ruddick and adding one goal was Morgan Stickney. The boys played excellent defense the whole night through and goalie Mario Esqueda really kept us in the game with some big saves.

"It was an exciting game that came down to the last posession and our team defense allowed us to squeak by with a win against a quality opponent," said Coach Henderson.
