Quarterback Mauldin Signs With Hamilton Tiger-Cats

Former Valley College quarterback Joe Mauldin has signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League, the team announced Wednesday.

Mauldin, the 1992 Western State Conference player of the year, led area junior college quarterbacks that season, completing 135 of 263 passes for 1,905 yards and 14 touchdowns. He also ran for 796 yards and 10 touchdowns in 115 carries. He led the Western State Conference with 2,701 total yards.

Mauldin, a 1988 graduate of San Fernando High, was an All-City Section football and basketball player for the Tigers.

He accepted a scholarship to Cal State Fullerton, but did not meet the NCAA-required 700 score on his Scholastic Aptitude Test.

Mauldin then played at Pasadena City College, leaving after one season because of an injury. He was out of football for the next few years, then enrolled at Valley in 1992. Following the season, he signed to play at Missouri Western.
