This to be Final Season for Head Football Coach at James Logan High

Announcement submitted by New Haven Unified School District:

After ten years as the head coach for Logan football, George Zuber will lead his team for the last time at the end of this season. After careful consideration, Coach Zuber has decided to focus his time and attention in other areas, though he hopes to continue to support Logan Football, mentoring and guiding if needed.

Coach Zuber has had an illustrious career as Logan’s head football coach. With an average of eight wins per season, Coach Zuber led the team to five MVAL League Championship wins. In 2012, Coach Zuber focused on equity for Logan football so sought, and was granted, independent status. Though this took away the possibility of the team being league champion, it provided the opportunity for Logan football players to play against more competitive teams, thus better preparing them for NCS championship competition.

Among highlights of Coach Zuber’s time leading the Logan Colt football program are the following:

• 10 time NCS Playoffs selection
  
• 1 time NCS Semi-Finalist
  
• 1 time NCS Championship Runner-Up
  
• 4 time TEAM GPA over 3.0
  
• 1 time NCS Scholastic-High GPA Team Award
  
• 4 upset victories over the East Bay Newspaper Group’s #2 ranked teams

Coach Zuber has also helped others in their football career, having coached over a dozen players who earned college football scholarships. Three of his players have also gone on to sign NFL contracts.

Coach Zuber has been recognized for his work by being named the NFL Oakland Raiders Coach of the Week six times and was named the 2013 NFL National Coach of the Year runner-up. He has mentored three Logan assistant coaches who’ve gone on to become head coaches, all who have won league championships. Additionally, two other assistant coaches he’s mentored have gone on to become college football coaches.

With twenty total years of high school coaching experience, Logan is fortunate to have had its football program led by Coach Zuber these last ten years. He is wished nothing but the best in the future.
