Logan was considered undersized for football and wanted to play big. As a wrestler, maintaining conditioning was also important to him. Logan did in fact play big and it started with his hard work in the weight room. We worked on his sprint mechanics, football movements and overall strength and athleticism.

GHS Spartans lost their final game of the season bringing their record to 1-9. The mostly sophomore squad faced adversity from the get go with low numbers, injury to starting QB’s and no depth at the line position among other setbacks. With the season over the focus now shifts to healing and rebuilding. A big thank you to all the seniors who were with us throughout this season and previous ones.
The Spartans lost 7-14 in a pretty even contest. The Spartans struck first with a 5 yard strike from Michael Madera to Angel Zuniga. The drive was powered by the running of Michael Duby and Tony Viorato. The Spartan Defensive line did well all night, led by Jerry Ruiz, and Leonel Valdez. Michael Duby and Jonathan Camarena made some key plays as well.

First the facts, the Spartans were outmatched from the get go as the game went 51-0 at halftime. However, the lack of numbers, injuries, players playing out of position, etc etc are not valid excuses for a team to lower itself to personal foul after personal foul. It seems like every year I see the Padre’s play they get better on the field but leave their sense of sportsmanship at home.
