James Logan Wrestling did not meet their goal of winning a North Coast Section title, but they did take third place, which is enough for them to get the pennant.

Logan, who qualified everyone to NCS, had seven placers, with four finalists, and two champions Saturday night. With Logan’s second place at the NCS duals, two weeks ago, they were expected to be the mix for the title, with De La Salle and Liberty High School.

The assembly was held Tuesday at the Pavilion, where schools from the Fremont, Newark, and New Haven Districts came together for this special presentation.

The Tri-city effort began when the Fremont Main Library read the novel Three Cups of Tea holding book discussions, eventually leading the Newark and Union City Public libraries to read the book.

From wikipedia:
Cyrano Hercule Savinien de Bergerac (March 6, 1619 – July 28, 1655) was a French dramatist and duellist born in Paris, who is now best remembered for the many works of fiction which have been woven around his life story, most notably the play by Edmond Rostand which bears his name (see Cyrano de Bergerac (play)). In those fictional works he is featured with an overly large nose

Life and works
Cyrano was born into an old Parisian family and spent much of his childhood in Saint-Forget (now Yvelines). He went to school in Paris and spent his adult life there when he was not on campaign. He was not, therefore, a Gascon, but many of his fellow-soldiers would have been. The myth of his Gascon origins may even have been cultivated by him during his lifetime, since the swash-buckling manners of the Gascon soldiers were much admired in his day. The real Cyrano de Bergerac had little in common with the hero of the Rostand play.
