Bulldogs Hold Top 15 Slot in Latest Coaches' Poll
SAN MATEO, Calif. - The Allan Hancock College football team remained ranked in the latest edition of the JC Athletic Bureau Football Coaches' Poll after missing last week's contest due to a COVID issue at Long Beach.
Coach Damron's squad fell one spot to No. 15 after tallying 118 points in the poll, marking the fourth consecutive week of a top-15 ranking for the program.
At the conference level, the Bulldogs are one of five National Northern League competitors ranked in the poll. Other league members mentioned in the poll are No. 2 Ventura, No. 7 Canyons, No. 17 East Los Angeles, and No. 22 Bakersfield. Long Beach dropped from the rankings this week but is still in contention in the "others receiving votes" category.
The Bulldogs are set to return to action on Saturday, November 13th, against Bakersfield for their final regular season game at home. Kickoff for the Military Appreciation Day event, which allows free admission for all active and former military personnel by showing a military ID at the ticketing gate, is set for 1 PM on the AHC Football Field. Tickets for the event can be purchased here.
