                                EL CAJON (5-22-08) -- San Diego Christian College 
                                basketball coach JASON SMITH announced the signing 
                                of eight new players for the 2008-09 season. Included 
                                are five listed at 6-foot-6 or taller, making 
                                the next edition of the Hawks perhaps the biggest 
                                in school history. 
                                 
                                "I am excited about the group of guys we 
                                got;" said Smith. "They might not be 
                                the very, very best talent, but they are all solid 
                                players who will work hard and play for each other."

                                EL CAJON (6-14-08) -- Stability and talent go 
                                against the most difficult schedule in school 
                                history as San Diego Christian College prepares 
                                for its 2008 women's volleyball season.  
                              San Diego Christian College used to be 
                                on the national map, said second-year head 
                                coach ED GARRETT. Its time we got 
                                back there and this years team has a great 
                                shot.  
                              The Hawks, already climbing a wall that is the 
                                powerful Golden State Athletic Conference, finds 
                                half of their 40-match slate composed of teams 
                                ranked in the national Top 25 during the 2007 
                                season. 
                              Garrett brings stability in the coaching ranks, 
                                which has paid off on the recruiting front, with 
                                the influx of new talent joining five returning 
                                starters.

                                AZUSA (5-19-08) -- San Diego Christian College 
                                starting pitcher LANCE JANKE was honored by the 
                                Golden State Athletic Conference as one of five 
                                pitchers selected to the All-GSAC team. Janke, 
                                a transfer from Grossmont College, was the lone 
                                member of the Hawks selected by conference coaches 
                                to the 19-member squad. 
                              Janke, despite a 5-6 overall record, was recognized 
                                by the coaches, for his power and consistentancy, 
                                ranking among the GSAC leaders with a 3.20 earned-run 
                                average and finishing fifth among the 10 schools 
                                with 79 strikeouts over 84 1/3 innings of work. 
                              The 6-foot-1 right-hander prepped at University 
                                City High, then became one of four Griffins to 
                                join SDCC when the school fielded its first baseball 
                                team for the 2007 season.
