As the 2013 fall semester comes to a close, so does this semester’s athletic seasons. Here are just some of our campus sports stars that have stood out this semester.
FOOTBALL
The Fresno City College Rams football team is having a successful season both in the air and n the ground.
In the air, sophomore quarterback Marcus Montero, who has played 10 games this season, has added 14 touchdowns to his record while also averaging 154.9 yards a game.
Some of those touchdowns can be attributed in part to freshman running back Micah Ledezma and sophomore running back Alek Mechikoff.
Running back Ledezma has gone on to score six touchdowns while gaining an average of 51.8 yards a game, while running back Mechikoff has scored eight touchdowns with an average of 46.8 yards a game.
On the defensive side of things, sophomore defensive lineman Thomas Coronado has made large strides this season with 46 tackles, nine sacks and a fumble recovery.
Alongside Coronado is linebacker Tyler Bates, who has recorded 63 tackles and two sacks this season.
Men’s SOCCER
Sophomore forward Josh Alvarez and sophomore midfielder/forward Duce Bell to be on top of the scoreboard by the end of the year.

Bell is not far behind. Also playing 22 games so far into the season, Bell has garnered five goals and two assists, scoring 12 points for the team.
Freshman defender Christian Chaney can also be expected to earn recognition, as he has gained 11 points in the season with five goals and one assist.
Women’s SOCCER
The FCC women’s soccer team has done well thanks, in part, to sophomore forward Jenna Thomason and freshman midfielder Maricruz Chapa.
Thomason has made a name for herself this year, scoring a whopping 22 goals, the second most goals scored in the division, with five assists and seven game-winning goals.
Alongside Thomason, Chapa has made a name of her own as well.
Chapa gained nine goals and five assists in the season, with three of those goals being game-winners.
VOLLEYBALL
The team has made an impression in the collegiate sports world this season, and sophomore outside hitter Valarie Gobby and sophomore middle blocker Morgan Dose have played a big part in making that a reality.
Gobby, hitting 75 sets this season, has picked up 85 errors and 199 kills through 516 attacks.
Dose, as a freshman was the only FCC volleyball player that was named to the 2012 State Championship All-Tournament team. In her sophomore year, Dose has had 367 attacks this season, while adding 192 kills and 57 errors to her record.
