Foothill College Sports Roundup

A day after routing Shasta 45-7, the Foothill College football team learned it has qualified for yet another Kiwanis Silicon Valley Bowl.

The Owls (7-3) will take on College of the Redwoods (8-2) in the bowl game, slated for Dec. 1 at Foothill. The Owls have played in the past four Silicon Valley Bowls, winning the last three.

Foothill goes into the postseason on a two-game win streak. The Owls manhandled visiting Shasta in Saturday’s regular-season finale. They led the non-conference game 28-0 after a quarter and played their backups for most of the second half.

Quarterback Waye Terry completed 11 of 17 passes for 298 yards and four touchdowns and also ran for a score.

Gunn High grad Ken Coleman caught four passes for 180 yards and three touchdowns - one of which went for 80 yards.

“He had a great game,” Owls coach Marshall Sperbeck said.

Los Altos grad Steve Holloway rushed 20 times for 144 yards and a touchdown.

Foothill’s defense held Shasta to -11 yards rushing and 192 yards passing.

Adriano Soares’ free kick in overtime lifted No. 10 Foothill to a 1-0 road win over No. 2 San Francisco Saturday in the second round of the Northern California playoffs.

The Owls (11-5-6) were slated to face No. 3 Cañada (16-4-5) Tuesday.

In first-round action Nov. 13, Foothill pulled off a 4-1 upset of No. 7 Consumnes River. Los Altos High grad Rene Martinez got the visiting Owls rolling with a shot coach Vava Marques called “the most beautiful goal of the season.”

At the 43-minute mark of the first half, the freshman drilled a 35-yard shot from the left side of the field that soared over the goalie’s head.

“The keeper never had a chance,” Marques said. “It was unbelievable.”
