Jaguars, Vikings open with wins
By Dick Sparrer
Tailback Reymon Murphy and quarterback Joey Stover were matching their talents when San Jose City College visited De Anza Community College to open the 2000 junior college football season.
And make no mistake about it--they are both talented football players.
But two long touchdown runs by San Jose's Murphy overshadowed a solid performance by De Anza's Stover as the Jaguars pulled out an exciting 20-13 opening day victory.
Murphy scored on runs of 71 and 73 yards to lead the Jags to the win, but Stover kept the Dons in the game with his pinpoint passes and key runs.
Murphy scored on a 71-yard run in the first period, and San Jose scored again midway through the second quarter when Seth Bancroft tossed a 21-yard touchdown pass to René Nelson.
De Anza answered right back, though, when Stover snuck over from the one for the TD to cut the lead to 13-6, and the Dons tied the game when Stover hit Matt Carver for 47 yards and the score.
But Murphy took off on a 73-yard TD run to give the Jaguars the lead.
Reed Maguire (Los Gatos) is another local players on the De Anza squad.
Vikings win
Sophomore place-kicker Jeff Chaussee drilled a pair of field goals and quarterback Kyle Padia (Leigh) tossed hit Billy Himan with an 8-yard touchdown pass to lead the West Valley College football team to a season-opening 13-10 win over Chabot.
The clubs were locked in a 3-3 tie at the half, but Chaussee kicked a 26-yard field goal in the third period to break the deadlock. Padia tossed to Himan for a touchdown in the third and Chaussee converted to give the Vikings a 13-3 lead, and that proved enough for the win.
The Vikings will be on the road this week to visit the City College of San Francisco on Sept. 16, 1 p.m.
