Antelope Valley College Gains Forfeit Win

The Antelope Valley College football team will have a 7-0 record--instead of 6-0-1--going into tonight’s Foothill Conference game at Desert because Chaffey, which earlier tied the Marauders, 24-24, has had to forfeit all of its wins and ties because it used an ineligible player.

The forfeit win gives Antelope Valley a 5-0 record in conference play and a half-game lead over Mt. San Jacinto and Citrus, both 4-0.

Six Valley-area football players have been selected by their coaches as the San Fernando National Football Foundation’s players of the week. Selected were linebacker Frank Romano of Crespi, center Tim DeGroote of Hart, linebacker Curt Hulshizer of Granada Hills, defensive end Shane Bernard of Palmdale, running back Robert Franklin of Van Nuys and defensive back Danny Magallanes of First Lutheran.

Each week, the foundation selects a different group of schools from throughout the Valley area. Coaches at the respective schools select the players and by season’s end a player from each school will have been honored.
