The James Logan Courier

By Samuel Jue, Courier Sports Editor

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.

From wikipedia:
William Whiston (December 9, 1667 - August 22, 1752), was as English theologian, historian, and mathematician. He is probably best known for his translation of the Antiquities of the Jews and other works by Josephus, his A New Theory of the Earth, and his Arianism.

Whiston was born to Josiah Whiston and Katherine Rosse at Norton, near Twycross, in Leicestershire, of which village his father was rector. He was educated privately, partly on account of the delicacy of his health, and partly that he might act as amanuensis to his father, who had lost his sight. He was studied at Tamworth Grammar School. After his father's death, he entered at Clare College, Cambridge as a sizar in 1686, where he applied himself to mathematical study, where he qualified as B.A. (1690), and M.A. (1695), and was elected Fellow in 1691 and in 1693. William Lloyd ordained Whiston at Lichfield in 1695 and he married Ruth Antrobus in 1699. He next became chaplain to John Moore (1646-1714), the bishop of Norwich, from whom he received the vicarship of Lowestoft in 1698.
