Santiago Canyon College Men's Basketball Newsletter Santiago Canyon College Men’s Basketball Newsletter Date: 1/29/18 – 2/4/18 Volume 1 Issue 12 It was a tough two game week for us this past week. We played hard and had our chances, but couldn’t get a road win. We lost at Copper Mountain by seven and then lost to conference leader, Orange Coast College, in overtime. We will look to bounce back with one game this week. It is a home game vs. Cypress College on Friday, February 9th. Game time is 5:00pm.

Santiago Canyon is now 4-5 in Orange Empire Conference play and 17-8 overall. The Pirates, who have won numerous close league games, are now 8-1 in conference and have an overall record of 17-7. The fast-paced entertaining game featured 15 lead changes with both teams competing at a high level. A huge advantage for Orange Coast was their inside play as they scored 62 points inside the key. The Hawks had no answer for Josh Davis as the 6'6” 270-pound center powered his way to 35 points and 19 rebounds to lead the Pirates. Santiago Canyon was led in scoring by Rocket Henderson who finished with 32 points and Antoine Jenkins, who scored 23 of his 28 points after intermission, including a game tying layup with 3 seconds remaining to force overtime. In the 5-minute overtime, the Hawks scored first when Henderson was fouled on a 3-point attempt. After making 1 of 3 from the foul line to go up 1, the rest of the extra session was all Orange Coast as they outscored Santiago Canyon 10-5 in overtime. This is only the second time all season the Hawks have lost consecutive games, a remarkable feat for a first-year program. Coach Todd Dixon was disappointed with the result. "This was a tough one. We played much 1 better in the second half but we didn't make enough plays on the defensive end and on the oards." This was the second overtime game the Hawks have played this year as they came out on the short end of a 90-87 double overtime loss to Riverside City College on January 3. Santiago Canyon will not play again until Friday when they host Cypress College. Game time is 5:00 p.m. SCC vs. OCC Box Score SCC vs. OCC Game Highlights Game #24: Game Summary - Wednesday, January 31, 2018 Opponent: Copper Mountain College Final Score: SCC 86 Copper Mountain 93 Both Santiago Canyon College and Copper Mountain College are new to the Orange Empire Conference this season. They have made arguably the best league in California even stronger with standout teams in their first year of competitive basketball. The 2 teams met for the second time on Wednesday in Joshua Tree and it was Copper Mountain who came away with a 93-86 victory. The Hawks won the earlier contest at Santiago Canyon on January 5 by a score of 103-96. Copper Mountain is now 5-3 in conference play and 18-7 overall while the Hawks fall to 4-4 and 17-7 overall. Tre'Von Bentley scored on an offensive rebound basket right before the halftime buzzer for the Fighting Cacti to make the score 48-45 in favor of Santiago Canyon going into intermission. Copper Mountain was the aggressor most of the second half as they used their size advantage throughout the game to win the battle of the boards and capitalize on second chance opportunities. Copper Mountain leading scorer Murshid Randle scored 19 of his 23 points in the second half, including 4 three-point shots to give his team an 80-66 lead with 2:44 left to play. But Santiago Canyon, as they have done all season, kept battling and cut the lead to 89-84 with 56 seconds left in the game. Copper Mountain, however, took care of the ball and made their free throws down the stretch (12-13 in the second half) to come away with the win. The Fighting Cacti improved their perfect record at home to 8-0. The Hawks were led in scoring by Antoine Jenkins and Rocket Henderson. Jenkins had 31 including a perfect 9-9 from the free throw line. Henderson scored 26 on the evening with 5 three-point shots. Santiago Canyon did connect on 14 three-point field goals but it was not enough on this night. They will go at it again in Costa Mesa against league leading Orange Coast College.

  • Honors Night Wednesday, the Third of June
    ORANGE COAST COLLEGE SIXTY-SECOND HONORS NIGHT WEDNESDAY, THE THIRD OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY SIX O’CLOCK IN THE EVENING THE SPIRIT OF OCC “There is no education like adversity” -Benjamin Disraeli There is little doubt that 2020 will find itself explored, examined and studied in future history books. At OCC, this year will surely be remembered for its adversity -- it is the year we suffered the tragic loss of a legendary baseball coach, and the year we were driven away from our beloved campus by an unprecedented global pandemic due to the spread of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus. However, it is also the year we saw our campus community come together and demonstrate the commitment to our students and community which define our College - this is the Spirit of OCC. Tonight, as we honor our best and brightest students for their hard work and dedication, we also celebrate the undefeatable spirit that makes our College so special. Although we can’t be together in person, nothing can stop us from honoring your achievements, your hard work, and your accomplishments. Here are a few examples of the Spirit of OCC: + In January, as news of the death of OCC’s baseball head coach John Altobelli reached players and fellow coaches, the devastation rippled across campus. “Coach Alto” was a giant at OCC during his 27 years of service, always going the extra mile to help his student athletes succeed. Faced with the tough decision about whether or not to move ahead with the first game of the season just two days after Altobelli’s death, OCC’s ball players displayed the courage and dedication of their leader and decided to play.

    California Community Colleges Baccalaureate Degree RECOMMENDED PILOT PROGRAMS Antelope Valley College - AIRFRAME MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY Summary The proposed program meets the need in the aerospace industry for multi-skilled individuals who understand, perform, and serve as first-line leads in the major processes of manufacturing the structural components of an aircraft for civilian and military specifications. The program's curriculum addresses airframe manufacturing, aircraft fabrication (structures and composites), electronics, and welding. Bakersfield - INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION Summary Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Automation: The proposed program responds to today’s industry needs for engineering teams involved in developing new products or systems. This team is typically composed of engineers, technologists and technicians. Engineers apply their knowledge of mathematics and science to develop ways to economically utilize natural resources for the benefit of mankind through a wide spectrum of activities including the conception, design, development and formulation of new systems and products. Technologists are typically graduates of baccalaureate-level programs that emphasize the application of scientific and technical knowledge; they participate in activities surrounding applied design, manufacturing, product assurance, sales and project management. Technicians work with equipment, assembling, repairing and testing devices or systems based on technical skills rather than scientific knowledge used in the original design. Crafton Hills - EMERGENCY SERVICES & ALLIED HEALTH SYSTEMS Summary This program is designed to respond to both existing and emerging workforce needs in an evolving healthcare system that is faced with challenges such as caring for an aging population, the implementation of the Affordable Healthcare Act, and outbreaks of potentially deadly diseases such as Ebola.

  • Coast Community College District PETITION for ACADEMIC RENEWAL Originating Campus: Coastline College Golden West College Orange Coast College
    Coast Coast Community College District PETITION FOR ACADEMIC RENEWAL Originating Campus: Coastline College Golden West College Orange Coast College This Academic Renewal Policy for Coast Community College District is issued pursuant to Section 55040 of the California Administrative Code (Title 5) regulations, and CCCD BP4240. The purpose of this policy is to disregard past substandard academic performance of a student when such work is not reflective of his/her current demonstrated ability. It is based on the recognition that due to unusual (extenuating) circumstances, or circumstances beyond the student’s control, the past substandard work will negatively affect the student’s ability to complete his/her educational goals. Academic Renewal is intended to facilitate graduation from a College in the District or enable qualified students to transfer to a four-year college or university. If specific conditions are met, (as listed below) the Coast Community College District colleges may disregard courses from all consideration associated with the computation of a student’s cumulative GPA up to a maximum of thirty (30) semester units of coursework taken at any College in the District for graduation or transfer purposes only. If another accredited college has acted to remove previous course work from consideration in computing the GPA, such action shall be honored in terms of its procedure. However, such units disregarded shall be deducted from the 30-semester unit maximum of coursework eligible to be disregarded at a College in the District. 1. The course work to be disregarded is substandard (grades of D, F, or NP.) If approved, the selected coursework shall be disregarded in that semester, except those courses required as a prerequisite or to satisfy a requirement of the student’s current declared program of study.
