One has to wonder if Moorpark College Coach Jim Bittner and L. A. Southwest Coach Henry Washington saw something in Corey Tucker and Jesse Wallace that the quarterbacks’ high school coaches did not.

Moorpark’s Tucker, a freshman from Camarillo High, and Southwest’s Wallace, a sophomore from Monroe, were ranked fourth and fifth in the state in passing efficiency during the regular season.

As a senior at Camarillo in 1990, Tucker completed 15 of 50 passes for 240 yards and five touchdowns and had two interceptions; Wallace was 48 of 137 for 835 yards, two touchdowns and had six interceptions during his senior season at Monroe in ’89.

This season, Tucker completed 88 of 178 for 1,626 yards and 18 touchdowns and he had seven interceptions; Wallace was 88 of 174 for 1,511 yards and 17 touchdowns and he had six interceptions. . . .

It took several years for Bittner to get Moorpark’s program on the winning track, but the Raiders have lost no more than three games in a season in the past seven years after only one winning season (5-4 in 1982) in Bittner’s first six seasons.

Bittner has a 78-53-1 record in his 13 years at Moorpark, including a 58-15 mark in the past seven. . . .

Including Saturday’s 28-0 loss to L. A. Southwest in the Southern California Bowl, Antelope Valley has lost five consecutive bowl games.

The Marauders (8-3 this season) have not won a postseason game since 1981, when they defeated Porterville, 13-12, to claim the Southern California Division II championship.

Antelope Valley has been outscored, 124-75, during the streak, and Saturday’s loss is the most lopsided. . . .

Basketball: In just the fourth week of his sophomore season, Cal State Northridge point guard Andre Chevalier is rapidly moving up the school’s career list in assists and steals.

Heading into Northridge’s game at Boise State on Friday, Chevalier is ninth with 150 assists and tied for ninth with 63 steals. . . .

Northridge women’s point guard Cynthia Llerenas, a junior transfer from Pierce College, hit two three-point shots against Cal State Fullerton on Tuesday to bring her team-leading total to 10 in 33 attempts.

Llerenas, who became a starter only four games ago but leads the Matadors in minutes played with 263 in nine games, is on a pace to break the Northridge single-season, three-point record of 25 set by Kristen Brinkema in 1987-88. . . .

Swimming: Morton Ibsen, Steve Hoffman, Erik Matheson and James Taschek of Northridge turned in season-best times in the National Grand Prix meet last weekend at Belmont Plaza in Long Beach.

Ibsen, a junior transfer from Vallensved, Denmark, swam the 200-yard freestyle in 1 minute 41.37 seconds and finished the 50 freestyle in 21.33. He placed second and third, respectively.

Hoffman, a freshman from San Jose, swam 4:34.12 in the 500 freestyle, good for third place.

Matheson, a freshman from Culver City, finished third in the 100 butterfly in 51.06, and Taschek, a senior from Woodbridge, Va., took second in the 1,650 freestyle in 15:53.73. . . .

Volleyball: The Northridge women’s volleyball team, which concluded its season with a 16-18 record and a fifth-place finish in the National Invitational Volleyball Championships last week, set a pair of records that summed up its season.

On defense, Northridge set a school record with 2,378 digs. However, the Matadors’ hitting percentage of .187 was an all-time low, breaking the 1989 mark of .223.

Junior Nancy Nicholls, who led the team with 372 kills this season, set a school single-season record with 447 digs, edging teammate Karen Scholl by 10.

Kathleen Dixon set the previous mark of 383 in 1990.
