James Logan HS had a dual meet against Irvington last week and won it.

Irvington had a lot of great runners but Logan was still able to prevail over them.

Willie Latin, Rufus Wollo, Damond Beasley, and Karsten Weighthington took first place in the 4-by-100-meter relay race.

Courier Staff Report

James Logan's Lady Colts softball team beat MVAL rivals Newark Memorial 5-1 Tuesday afternoon at the Peter Mendoza sports complex.

The Newark Memorial Cougars struck first with a lead-off double that a subsequent single turned into a run, making the score 1-0 after the first half inning.

The Lady Colts got even in the second after they loaded the bases with no outs. The Cougars made a play at home plate to get the first out, but, with the bases still loaded, gave up a walk to junior Clarissa Blaquera to even the score at 1-1. Sophomore outfielder Alexis Mattos flied out to center field for the second out of the inning, but junior Kimberly Goulart hit a pitch into right field that fell a few feet in front of the Cougar fielder, allowing two Lady Colts to score. Goulart was caught in a run-down on her way to second base, ending the inning with the score 3-1.
