Marquise Mouton and Company will have to be that much better this weekend, when the Moorpark College football team travels north to visit Hancock.

There's a good chance the Raiders will be without nose guard Eddy McGilvra, who suffered a pinched nerve in his neck injury Saturday.

"I think we're going to lose McGilvra," said Moorpark coach Jim Bittner. "We're going to try to get him some rest. He's a real force inside."

The Thousand Oaks High product has four tackles, including two for losses and a sack, over the first two games. Grace Brethren product Jerry McClure is expected to deputize.

The game in Santa Maria will feature some interesting matchups.

Through two games, Moorpark is second in Southern California in total defense (158.5 yards per game), while Hancock is third in scoring offense (44.0 points) and fifth in rushing offense (228.0 yards).
