It is operated by the Antelope Valley Community College District, with a primary service area of 1,945 square miles covering portions of Los Angeles and Kern counties. in the preseason is anything but, according to according to prep. 1.

With last year's starter Shawn Sharp and transfer Rocque Sandoval vying vy·ing v. Present participle of vie. vying vie for playing time, Carder has opted to split time between the two rather than bench one in favor of the other. And against Palomar last weekend, the two virtually mirrored each other on the field. Sharp got the start and turned in a respectable performance, completing 7-12 for 61 yards against the Comets Non-periodic comets are seen only once. They are usually on near-parabolic orbits that will not return to the vicinity of the Sun for thousands of years, if ever. Periodic comets usually have elongated elliptical orbits, and usually return to the vicinity of the Sun after a number . Sandoval stepped in and finished the game 7-13 for 34 yards and the team's only touchdown. So what was the verdict after the game? ``For the first game, they did just fine,'' Carder said. Carder says he plans to continue with the rotation throughout the season and insists that the two sophomores are fine with the situation. ``There's no competition between the two,'' Carder said. ``They work together for the good of the team. ``Besides, they don't have a choice.'' Bye-ing time: If nothing else, the 43-6 loss suffered by Antelope Valley This article is about the Los Angeles County region. For the census-designated place in Wyoming, see Antelope Valley-Crestview, Wyoming. The Antelope Valley in last week's season opener gave the Marauders an idea of what they need to work on before their next game. And with a bye this weekend, they have ample time to fix the problems. The Marauders virtually fell apart in the first half against Palomar, and after entering the locker Things commonly known as lockers include:
``We started out poorly and just didn't get in the game mentally in the first half,'' Carder said. ``We did a poor job fundamentally.'' The Antelope Valley pass defense could do nothing to stop the Comets, who accumulated 339 of their 409 total yards through the air. That could mean trouble next week when the Marauders face Rio Hondo Rio Hondo may refer to:
Rio Hondo racked up 300 yards in the air behind quarterback Tommy Vasquez, who was 24-for-38 passing with four touchdowns against L.A. Pierce last week. The Roadrunners also have one of the conference's top receivers in freshman Guillermo Calderon, which will put added pressure on the Antelope Valley defense. Things weren't any better for the Marauders last week on offense. They gained just 155 total yards and were unable to find the end zone until the fourth quarter, when Sandoval and sophomore running back Jamel White Jamel White (born February 11, 1978 in Los Angeles, California) is a professional Canadian football running back with the Canadian Football League Toronto Argonauts. White is a former professional American football player, most recently with the Baltimore Ravens of the National connected on a short pass for Antelope Valley's only score. White was also the leading Antelope Valley rusher with 55 yards on 11 carries. Injury report: The Marauders emerged from the Palomar game unscathed as far as injuries. That's good news for a young team that carries just 48 players on its roster. In addition, Carder said that defensive lineman Charles Patterson will likely see his first action of the season against Rio Hondo. Patterson suffered a knee injury in a preseason scrimmage.
