Three former football players who pleaded no contest to charges of painting racial slurs on the office door of a black coach and causing $10,500 damage to St. Genevieve High in Panorama City were sentenced to three years’ probation and 90 days of work with a Caltrans highway crew.
Judge Michael J. Farrell of Van Nuys Superior Court also ordered each of the teen-agers to pay as much as $3,500 to the parochial school for the cost of repairing chipped water fountains, cleaning lockers spattered with eggs and removing racial slurs painted on the door of Jimmy Chambers, an assistant football coach.
Carlos Gonzalez, 19; Paul Francis Zamora, 18, and Jesus M. Renteria, 18, each pleaded no contest in October to one count of felony vandalism and one count of misdemeanor terrorism.
