City College has had a rich history of sports in the last century — here we spotlight our school’s best teams ever.

Men’s Basketball 

The 1946 Panthers were state and national champions. They set numerous campus records, including several which still stand.

Coach Ned Kay’s Roller Skate Boys had a record of 32-3, with just one loss to junior college competition, and had a 27-game winning streak, a record for all local teams.

The Panthers were the second highest scoring college in the country and won their games by an average of 21.9 points per game. The starting five were John Stanich, Doug Sale, Eldon Bennett, Wayne Boulding and Bob Linck.

They were inducted into the SCC Athletic Hall of Fame in October 1998.

Men’s Football

The 1981 football team was co-national champions and finished the season 12-0.

The Panthers included two first team all-state players (offensive lineman Dale Cogan and running back Roger “Buck” Sumpter), and four Panthers were named second team (linebacker Kenny Office, defensive lineman Tim Casteneda, punter/kicker Leonard Ortiz and defensive back Billy Oliver).

Cogan was a first team All-American. Office, Sumpter and Ortiz were given honorable mentions.

Sumpter rushed for a school record of 1,490 yards that same season.

The Panthers found themselves trailing in the bottom of the ninth inning of the final game. After telling McKay that he was going to win a championship, shortstop Joe Thurston delivered a two-run double with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Panthers were able to celebrate a championship for the second straight year.
