The Monarchs' head-coaching position was held by Carl Ferrill until deteriorating health forced him to leave the team early in the season. Assistant coach Ron Ponciano finished the season as interim coach. The Monarchs were 2-8. ``Ron's definitely a candidate,'' said Ferrero, who expects to give a list of three or four finalists to school president Dr. Tyree Wieder by the end of next week.

Ferrero will fill two football coaching positions this month because the school has added a full-time assistant position for next year. The change means the assistant spot held by Ponciano last season is open and next year he could be the head coach, assistant coach or leave Valley altogether. --Tough road: Cupertino was not a friendly place for local women's basketball Women's basketball is one of the few games which developed in tandem with men's.
