City ponders next moves after Prop 420 passage BY WAYNE SCHUTSKY Progress Managing Editor

he ruling on the field is that junior college football in Scottsdale and across the Valley is dead. Interested parties say there is indisputable evidence that juco football programs benefit student athletes and they remain hopeful that the ruling is overturned. It may come under review. For now, what appeared to be the final games were played across the Valley last weekend. Scottsdale Community College coach Doug Madoski, whose team still has a bowl game to play, was honored to receive a standing ovation prior to the Artichokes’ regular-season finale. Even more surprising to him was that his entire family from California see JUCO page 4
