The Victory Bell rang loudly at Pierce College for THE fifth year in a row after a convincing 42-9 win over Los Angeles Valley College football team on Oct. 19 at Monarch Stadium.

Coming off of a defeat at Moorpark College in the previous game, Pierce looked to get back on the winning track against their rival LA Valley College, a team known for its defensive strategy.

Although it was a night of joy the reminder of the theft at Shepard Stadium was present in the form of extra security on the field during the game. Pierce’s football team had all of their equipment bags on the field behind the team’s bench.

Two security personnel were present at all times near Pierce’s equipment.

The game ended with 27 penalties from personal fouls, false starts, delays of game and illegal substitutions. Pierce had 20 penalties called against them, while Valley had only seven against them.

“Toward the end [the penalties] were very inconsequential,” said Efrain Martinez, head coach of Pierce College’s football

Valley had plenty of chances to open up the scoring in the first quarter after several penalties had been called on Pierce but failed to capitalize on the opportunity.

The first quarter was plagued by penalties for both teams on offense and defense.

“That was a big part of the game, we stepped on our toes,” said Larry Kerr, head coach of Valley College’s football team. “We had momentum going for us.”

The scoring and defense picked up for Pierce in the second quarter while Valley struggled with its new quarterback Emilio Rodriguez.

The first touchdown of the game came off a one-yard pass from Pierce’s starting quarterback Nick Arbuckle to wide receiver Earl Hargrove. After a successful field goal by Daniel Schlorf the score was 7-0.

Laws like the Health Insurance Portability, Accountability Act and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act forbid this policy from being approved.

These acts prohibit people from distributing private information about students like their medical history, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website.

“The problem is if a student has had a violent past with previous faculty because of a cognitive condition, faculty is not allowed to know that,” Gillis said.

Some teachers may be concerned for their safety and feel that they are entitled to know certain things about their students if there are problems, according to Gillis.
