It is drained by the Santa Ana River. It is bordered on the north by the San Bernardino Mountains and the eastern San Gabriel Mountains, on the east by the San Jacinto Mountains, and on the south and west crushed the Marauders more than any other opponent this season.

It just was two points shy of being enough to win the conference outright. A share of the title is still a possibility. A bowl bid in the hometown McDonald's Charity Bowl is just about a certainty. Beating annual rag doll Victor Valley in tonight's game at 7 would seal the bowl bid. ``I would feel a lot more uncomfortable if were 6-4 Sunday morning Sunday Morning may refer to:

Because there are going to be some teams with pretty good records with no place to go.'' The Marauders should eliminate any doubts against a Rams' team that is not only 0-7 in the Foothill Conference but 0-11 all-time against the Marauders. If statistics are any indication, then Victor Valley (2-7 overall) is in trouble. The Rams are last in total offense and defense. Furthermore, the only category Victor Valley is not at the bottom of is rushing defense. The 204.8 yards a game allowed is just the eighth lowest total in the nine-team conference. Carder has reminded his team of all of this information, the Rams' statistics and the Marauders' unblemished record in the series. ``I told them if we don't play very well this team can beat us,'' Carder said. ``(Victor Valley) beat the team ranked ahead of us (in last week's JC Athletic Bureau's Top 20 poll), L.A. Southwest. Our approach to this game hasn't changed much. We've come back well from the loss. We had a good practice Tuesday and an even better one (Wednesday).''

Sophomore tight end Andy Rethi, AVC's leading receiver, said the pain from the difficult loss has been erased. ``It's done and over with. We have to move on,'' he said. ``If we win this game we know we'll be in a bowl game. We don't think about (Victor Valley's record). We're treating this team just like it was Grossmont or Chaffey.''
