JC Football: Santa Monica College hit with a one-year postseason ban
Santa Monica College‘s football team has been sanctioned with a one-year postseason ban by the Southern California Football Association for a recruiting rule violation according to sources within the school’s athletic department.
The college was still on a self-imposed probation stemming from last year’s post game fight in the American Bowl against East Los Angeles College and the penalty was increased as the Corsairs were deemed a repeat violator. Their probation has been extended for an additional year until 2014.
It is the third time that SMC has been sanctioned in the last five years.

A fourth down stand helps SMC escape with a victory
One yard was the difference between happiness and disappointment. Glendale running back Collin Keoshian ran a dive up the middle, but was met by a platoon of Santa Monica College defenders before he could reach the first down marker.
After the measurement proved just short for the Vaqueros, SMC head coach Gifford Lindheim breathed a sigh of relief knowing that he and his team escaped with a 35-32 victory Saturday at Sartoris field.
Rogers Two Interceptions and a Fourth Quarter Rally Sends SMC Surging to Victory.
For the first three quarters, it looked that Santa Monica College was destined for another frustrating defeat to San Bernardino Valley, but a 24-point surge in the fourth helped push the Corsair to a 45-34 victory in their final non-conference game on Saturday.
SMC quarterback Alfonso Medina threw for four touchdowns and Myles Johnson had 120 yards rushing to lead the comeback, yet it was two crucial fourth quarter interceptions by Aaron Rogers that kept the Corsairs ahead.
