COD Football freshman running back Tony Williams (Indio Shadow Hills) was named the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference's (PCAC) Honorable Mention Male Athlete of the Week for the week of October 16th.

This is the second season of competition in the PCAC for COD.

According to the release, issued by PCAC Sports Information Director, Tom Saxe, "Williams rushed for 207 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries and tacked on a 7-yard reception as the Roadrunners won a rivalry game from Mt.
