Junior College Bowl Roundup

Southwestern 20, Antelope Valley 16--Don Quinn came off the bench to complete 8 of 11 passes for 136 yards and a touchdown to lead the Apaches to victory in the fourth National Football Foundation & Hall of Fame Bowl at Balboa Stadium in San Diego.

With the scored tied, 10-10, Quinn entered the game and immediately threw passes of 20 and 19 yards to Richard Sanchez. Quinn moved Southwestern to the 22 before the Apaches had to settle for a 38-yard field goal by Paul Tavares with 1:06 left in the third quarter.

On Southwestern’s next drive, Quinn drove the Apaches 76 yards, the last 10 on a touchdown pass to Sanchez in the left corner of the end zone to make it 20-10. Quinn set up the touchdown with a 33-yard pass to Gary Charleton.

Southwestern (7-4) was ranked No. 24 among state community colleges, while Antelope Valley (8-1-1) was No. 16.

Anthony Rivera, who completed 10 of 19 passes for 158 yards before suffering a knee injury, put Southwestern on the scoreboard first, running 27 yards for a touchdown.

But Antelope Valley took the lead with a sequence that began when Rivera dropped a low snap on an attempted punt and the ball was downed in the end zone for a safety. The Marauders then drove 48 yards in 6 plays, with Gerald Mitchell scoring from the 5 on a pitchout. Mike Dalley passed to Kelly King off a fake kick for the 2-point conversion and Antelope Valley led, 10-7.
