FOOTBALL

Rancho Buena Vista quarterback Hank Perry has accepted an appointment to West Point and play football for Army.

Perry directed RBV’s run-oriented offense last season. He completed 17 of 42 passes for 288 yards. He threw two touchdown passes and had one pass intercepted.

Don Coryell, the only football coach to earn 100 victories on both the collegiate and professional levels, will serve as honorary chairman of the 1991 Aztec Athletic Foundation Fund Drive.

Coryell coached for the Aztecs from 1961 to 1972 (compiling a 104-19-2 record) before moving on to the St. Louis Cardinals. Coryell later went on to coach the San Diego Chargers.

BASKETBALL

Rancho Buena Vista has forfeited a 68-64 boys’ basketball victory over rival Vista for using an illegal player. The Longhorns used Mike Micknius in the game after he had participated in the school’s junior varsity game earlier in the evening. There are no state or section rules prohibiting a player from competing for two teams in one day, but there is a North County Conference rule against it. By the time Coach John O’Neill was advised of the infraction during the game, Micknius had already participated.

He scored five points in the four-point victory. The loss dropped RBV to 11-11, 6-5.

The 1940-41 San Diego State basketball team, winners of the National Intercollegiate Basketball Tournament (now the NAIA) in Kansas City, will be honored at halftime of the Aztecs-Colorado State basketball game Feb. 14 at the Sports Arena.

The 1940-41 team, which will be celebrating its 50-year reunion, compiled a 24-7 record and clinched the title with a 36-34 victory over Murray State.

Gwynn will be honored along with former WAC commissioner Stan Bates, Air Force’s Robert Beckel and Wyoming’s Kenny Sailors.
