SBVC football team moves into rankings

The San Bernardino Valley College football team has moved into the California Community College Football Coaches Association rankings at No. 20.

Coaches and players will tell you they don't play for rankings, but it is nice recognition for a program that seems to have turned the corner under first-year coach Kevin Emerson. The Wolverines (4-4) have two games left in the season and are in contention for a playoff berth in the American Division Mountain Conference.

The Wolverines will be looking for their fifth straight win this week when they face their most formidable foe of the conference thus far - Golden West. That game is set for 6 p.m. at Orange Coast College (Golden West does not play home games on its own campus).

The Wolverines end the season against L.A. Harbor (8-0, 5-0) which has a one-game lead in the conference over SBVC and Golden West.

Cerritos is No. 1 with Fullerton, Mt. SAC, El Camino and Bakersfield rounding out the top five.
