Powder Puff practice for seniors started Monday at 4:30 P.M. for both cheerleaders and football players. Both practices for seniors go from 4:30 to 6:30 P.M. at the big green and the football field, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. There are no practices on Wednesdays because of track meets. Powder Puff practice for juniors is every weekday from 5:00 to 7:00 P.M.

Many juniors and seniors did join the Powder Puff activities, however there are more than 100 girls who joined the senior football team and cuts will be made because there are only 99 jerseys available. Cuts will be determined by attendance, as 10 hours of practice is the minimum amount of hours to be on the team. They will also be decided on commitment and ability.

In their second match of the week, the Colt's Boy's Varsity Volleyball team played a tough match against the MSJ Warriors. It was evident before the match had begun that the guys were pumped for the match. But unfortunately the boys' lost the match 1-3 with the scores as following: 25-18, 21-25, 16-25, and 13-25.

The first game was the type of match you'd expect from two excellent teams in NCS. It was nearly the same during the second game and everyone knew that it could be anyone's match. But the final two games caused many to wonder if this was the same team that played excellent games in the first half. "[All the determination] from the beginning of the match just died out towards the end," said volleyball manager Allison Quiros.

The James Logan varsity baseball team continued their pre-season with a victory over visiting team Galena High School, winning with a score of 6-2. Galena came all the way from Nevada to play against three California teams. The Colts had a strong pitching effort by freshman Alex Martinez, who pitched 4 plus innings and only allowed two runs. He showed a lot of maturity by pitching out of a bases loaded jam with nobody out in the second inning. He got through the inning without allowing another run.
