That success is celebrated though the annual GCC Athletic Hall of Fame, started in 2002 with its 14th annual event taking place on October 11, 2015. The cover of this year's football program reflects a past and present look at GCC football. Included in this collage is several outstanding returnees from the 2014 GCC Football team that finished the season 9-2 and advanced to the Patriotic Bowl is a team photo from the 1977 football team, 2015 inductees into the HOF as Outstanding Team. The 1977 team was the first WSC Championship team led by former head coach Jim Sartoris and defensive coordinator John Cicuto, although many more would follow. The significance of this team was not only the five future hall of famers that it produced including Andy Reid, Bob Gagliano and Jimmy Evangelatos as well as Sartoris and Cicuto but how for almost 40 years, the team members from this group have provided unwavering support for Glendale College and GCC Athletics. Please call Sports Information Director Alex Leon at 818-240-1000 x5764 if you have any interest in attending and or supporting the GCC Athletic Hall of Fame or GCC Football. Thanks for all of your support of our student-athletes this season. Go Vaqs! John Rome Head Football Coach 1 2015 GLENDALE COLLEGE VAQUEROS a message from the SUPERINTENDENT/PRESIDENT Welcome to another exciting season of Glendale College Vaqueros’ football. We appreciate your support and encouragement of our winning student athletes. The most common definition of a winner is a person or team with the best score or time, but a broader definition is a person or team with a strong record of success. At GCC we have both – a winning team of faculty and support staff and students who are helped to achieve successfully their educational and career goals. At GCC we recognize intercollegiate athletics is an integral component of our mission. Athletics provide full-time students distinct student success learning communities (teams) that enhance the student athletes’ abilities to achieve an associate degree, transfer to a university, and success in a career, while building later life success qualities of leadership, teamwork, cooperation, confidence, discipline, responsibility, good health, and character. Roget’s Thesaurus offers “achievers” as a synonym for “winner” and that gets to the heart of the matter. Helping students achieve their goals is what we are all about. Glendale Community College produces winners. Go Vaqs. Here’s to a great season filled with achievement, success, and winning. David Viar Superintendent/President “Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.” ~ Will Rogers Here’s to a great season. Go Vaqs!
