The Antelope Valley
 College's football team has any hope of ending its school-record 21-game losing streak, the Marauders will need an inspired effort when they play host to Victor Valley College Victor Valley College (VVC for short) is a community college located on Bear Valley Road in Victorville, California.

The college was created by a vote of the public in 1960 and the first classes were held in 1961 at the near-by campus of Victor Valley High School.

 (5-0, 3-0 Foothill Conference) is among the conference's leaders in nearly every meaningful statistical category and is ranked No. 8 in Southern California Southern California, also colloquially known as SoCal, is the southern portion of the U.S. state of California. Centered on the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, Southern California is home to nearly 24 million people and is the nation's second most populated region,  and 18th in the state.

 (0-5, 0-3) ranks at or near the bottom of the conference statistically, and is coming off a dreadful showing in last week's 31-0 loss to Mt. San Jacinto.

Tradition is on AVC's side, with the Marauders leading the all-time series 16-4, but VVC has won the past four meetings. The Rams have outscored AVC 61-9 in the past two meetings between the two teams, including winning 27-0 last season.

AVC shouldn't expect a letdown. The Rams are coming off a lackluster effort in last week's 7-0 victory over Desert of Palm Desert.

Victor Valley leads the conference in total offense, averaging 378.2 total yards, and is second in yardage yard·age 1

, yielding just 181.4 yards per game.

The Rams' top-ranked passing offense is led by Michael Woods, who's averaging 233 passing yards, and receiver Jahan Jones, who averages 131.6 receiving yards.

AVC ranks last in total offense (150.6 yards per game), and defense (353.8 yards allowed per game). AVC's only relative strength is its rushing game. The Marauders rank fifth in rushing yardage, averaging 105.4 yards. Freshman fullback Brad Kostopoulos (Boron boron (bōr`ŏn) [New Gr. from borax], chemical element; symbol B; at. no. 5; at. wt. 10.81; m.p. about 2,300°C;; sublimation point about 2,550°C;; sp. gr. 2.3 at 25°C;; valence +3.  High), AVC's primary backfield threat, is the conference's seventh-leading rusher, averaging 50.4 yards, and has scored the team's only touchdown.

AVC desperately needs to get its passing game going. The Marauders average a conference-worst 45.2 passing yards, and will need to establish some sort of passing game if for no other reason than to keep VVC's top-ranked run defense from keying on Kostopoulos. VVC averages 34.2 rushing yards allowed.
