The James Logan Courier

By Ronnell Coaster, Courier Staff Writer

The annual Girls Powderpuff game, which pitted senior and junior girls against each other on the gridiron while boys from their respective classes cheered them on, went on here at Logan Friday evening.

The players, the cheerleaders and the audience displayed much school spirit during the game. You could get a feel of the intensity from the crowd as possession of ball kept changing from each team, back and fourth.

This year, the Senior girls attempted and made the first field goal in Powderpuff history. That field goal, kicked by senior Nikki Stewart, made the Class of 2010 the winners by three points.

If voters reject a statewide tax initiative on the November ballot, the New Haven Unified School District faces the loss of an additional $1.3 million over previous estimates for the 2012-13 budget, the result of revisions to the state budget announced last week by Gov. Brown.

“We now must plan to reduce our budget by more than $12 million,” Superintendent Kari McVeigh wrote Wednesday in an e-mail to employees.

“When the Governor announced his May budget revisions last week, it appeared public education had been spared further cuts, or at least those cuts would be relatively minor,” the Superintendent wrote. “But as details of the revisions became clear, it became evident that two key pieces of the funding model had been impacted.”
