SBCC will honor the 1982 Mission Bowl championship football team on Nov. 4 at halftime of Saturday's 1 p.m. game vs. L.A. Pierce at La Playa Stadium. It's the 35th anniversary of that squad's 38-20 win over L.A. Harbor.
After the game, the team members & friends will join former SBCC football players of the 1970's & 80's and their friends & families at Carriage Museum at nearby Pershing Park.
