AVC FOOTBALL: RIVALRY SHOWS PROMISE : REGULAR MEETINGS OF AVC-CANYONS MAKE SENSE.Byline: Chris Cocoles Daily News Staff Writer The 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 College-College of the Canyons football rivalry is back. Not convinced? Saturday's game, which for 59 minutes was a sloppy, turnover- and penalty-dominated contest, turned into a cliffhanger cliff·hang·er n. 1.

It was reminiscent of the rivalry's heyday in the 1970s before Canyons disbanded its program 17 years ago. The schools split six meetings between 1973-80. Canyons' 28-0 victory over the Marauders in 1974 is perhaps the most significant game of the seven most significant encounters between the two. That loss was the only blemish blem·ish n.

Twenty-four years later, Carder is still directing the Marauders and had his hands full with this new pack of Cougars, now led by coach Chuck Lyon. ``(The rivalry) was big for this reason: Back in the '70s we used to play in the summer passing league down there,'' Carder said. When Canyons decided to field a team again, it didn't take long for the two schools, which compete in different conferences, to find an opening on the schedule. ``It's a (home-and-home) series. We'll play there next year,'' said Wanda Gallerson, AVC's dean of student affairs Student affairs staff are responsible for academic advising and support services delivery at colleges and universities in the United States and abroad. The chief student affairs officer at a college or university often reports directly to the chief executive of the institution. . ``As long as our conference schedules would work out, we'd like to meet every year. . . . It would be a great way to start our school year.'' Gallerson and Carder, also his school's athletic director Athletic director (commonly, "athletics director") is a position at many American colleges and universities, as well as in larger high schools and middle schools, which oversees the work of the coaches and related staff involved in intercollegiate or interscholastic athletic , cited the relatively short distance between the two campuses. The 40-mile trip is shorter than for any of the Marauders' Foothill Conference opponents. ``While (the Cougars) are the closest school from where we are, we're not the closest school to them,'' Carder said. But Lyon wants to continue the series, particularly after watching his team - which beat Desert in its return to the field the previous Saturday - turn the ball over four times and collect 103 penalty yards. ``You always want to play somebody that beats you,'' Lyon said.

Stadium of Saturday was 500, the largest overall to attend an AVC game since 1992 and the biggest home-opening gathering since 1989. ``I'm sure Canyons had a lot do with this,'' concluded Marauders sports information officer Glenn Haller. Indeed, the visiting side of the field was well-populated. The turnstile count and the win was certainly a coup for Carder, though the Marauders also finished with almost identical numbers to the Cougars in turnovers (four) and penalty yards (99). And the final minute provided the fans with enough excitement to maybe activate a rivalry dormant for so many autumns. ``It's kind of a natural.

Our players get to know them from that,'' Carder said. ``If the schedule would work out, it would be good for both teams (to meet each season).''
