City College takes on American River College at Hughes Stadium in regular season finale
In the final game of its regular season, the Panthers will take on the American River College Beavers at Hughes Stadium Nov. 15. Kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. Both teams bring in a Nor-Cal League record of 3-1 and a win for either teams betters their hopes of playing in a bowl game. Along with the opportunity to play in a bowl game being up for grabs there’s also a rivalry that’s been ongoing for years in.
“It’s a regional rivalry. All the kids know each other because they went to the same high schools,” said City College head football coach Dannie Walker. “It’s been a rivalry ever since the two school’s football programs began.”
According City College basketball head coach Andrew Jones, who wrote his master’s thesis on the history of City College sports from 1921-1998, the first game between then-Sacramento College and Grant Union Junior College was played in the fall of 1944. In 1955 Sacramento Junior College played its rst ever game against American River Junior College.
“In 1955 Sacramento Junior College beat American River Junior College 27-9 in the season opener. American River Junior College was located on the campus of the recently closed Grant Tech Junior College, and it is unclear if American River Junior College was a new college or a continuation of Grant Tech,” said Jones.
The rivalry has carried on through the years and with so much on the line in this season’s game, it’s fitting to have the Panthers final game be against the Beavers.

According to Walker, ARC’s football team is a good program that presents many problems for any team. “ They have a good cast of players, they’re well coached, they do a lot of things very well and they don’t make very many mistakes. That’s why they’re able to win the amount of games they’ve won,” said Walker. “ They play as a team and that’s their identity.”
Th e Panthers have contributing players on both sides of the ball. Defensive back Genesis Grimes has seven interceptions on the season. Three of the seven interceptions have been taken back for touch downs.
“He leads the state in interceptions and he’s been a leader ever since he came into our program last season as a red-shirt freshman,” said Walker. “He’s fiery emotional guy and he likes to get the other guys around him emotionally up for games as well.”
On offense the Panthers look to get its starting quarterback Jason Samuels back in the line-up. Walker said Samuels is listed as day-to-day and will be re-evaluated later this week. Samuels missed the Nov. 8 game against Feather River College after sustaining a concussion in the game against Butte College Nov. 1.
City College Panthers took down Feather River 54- 28 Nov. 8 to set up regular season finale at home against rival ARC. Kick-off is scheduled to be around 1 p.m.
