Jaguars top Vikes
The football team at West Valley Community College was ranked. San José City College wasn't.
But the Jaguars still managed to rise up for a 34-22 victory over the Vikings when the two clubs met in Coast Conference play recently.
Jason Belligan, Tim Garner (Leigh) and Mike Nedney each scored touchdowns for West Valley, but it wasn't enough. The Vikings, who had been ranked No. 14 in Northern California prior to the game, slipped to 3-2 for the year.
The Vikings were coming off a rousing 21-10 win over Santa Rosa. Nedney scored on a 45-yard pass from Matt Geske and kicked three extra points in the win. Geske hit Jimmy Wiggins for 17 yards and a TD and Garner blasted over from the three for another touchdown.
West Valley will be on the road this week to visit Cabrillo College in Aptos Oct. 26 at 7 p.m.
