Dennehy Will Miss CSUN Game

Coach Mick Dennehy will miss Montana’s Big Sky Conference game at Cal State Northridge on Saturday night after having emergency colon surgery on Monday.

Dennehy and Marshall Coach Bob Pruett are the only undefeated first-year college football coaches in the nation. Montana (7-0) is ranked second in Division I-AA.

Defensive coordinator Jerome Souers is serving as interim coach while Dennehy recovers.

Dennehy might be in the hospital for a week.

Forfeit win: The Cal Lutheran football team’s worst loss of the season became a victory Tuesday night when Chapman officials forfeited five victories for use of two ineligible players.

Among the wins the Panthers forfeited was a 49-7 nonconference victory over the Kingsmen on Oct. 12 at Cal Lutheran.

The Panthers’ leading rusher, Darnell Morgan, and Malcolm King, a defensive back, were playing their fifth seasons of college football before Chapman declared them ineligible last week.

HONORS Week that was: Glendale College’s Aryn Hart, Rocky Barbaro and Marlon Galloway, and Valley’s Marcus Harvey and Damion Thompson were selected football players of the week in the Western State Conference.

Hart completed seven of 14 passes for 248 yards and four touchdowns in the Vaqueros’ 49-7 victory at Ventura.

Barbaro, a sophomore tight end, had four receptions for 126 yards and three touchdowns.

Galloway, a freshman linebacker, had eight tackles and one sack.

Harvey had 136 yards in 11 carries and two touchdowns in Valley’s 45-0 victory at Harbor.

Thompson, a freshman linebacker from Kennedy High, had two tackles, three assists and one interception.

Killer queen: Nancy Ma, a sophomore outside hitter at Cal State Northridge, was selected the Big Sky Conference volleyball player of the week.

Ma had 50 kills and 44 digs in three matches last week. In Northridge’s upset of then 18th-ranked Notre Dame, Ma had a career-high 26 digs.

Memorable: St. Bonaventure High quarterback Teohua Sanchez was awarded the 14th annual Jerry Dann memorial trophy as the outstanding player in Saturday’s St. Bonaventure-Fillmore game.

Dann, a former teacher and football coach in Fillmore and at St. Bonaventure, died of cancer in 1983.

Sanchez, a senior, completed 19 of 28 passes for 251 yards and three touchdowns. His brother, Topiltzin, won the award last season.
