Former Cleveland High football Coach Everett Macy has resigned his position as a varsity coach at the school to join the Moorpark College program.

Macy, 51, will continue as dean of students and athletic director at Cleveland, where he coached football for the last three seasons.

“It’s going to be a neat experience,” said Macy, who lives in Moorpark. “They’ve got a successful program and hopefully I can contribute in some way.”

Macy will coach outside linebackers and strong safeties at Moorpark for Coach Jim Bittner.

“It was almost too good to be true,” said Bittner of his interview with Macy. “Here’s a guy with good experience who was on the same page as me.”

After three seasons as the Cleveland head or co-coach, Macy stepped down after the 1993 season and planned to serve as an assistant under Joe Santallano.

Cal State Sacramento split a pair of makeup games Monday night with San Diego State, clinching the WAC West Division title for hard-charging Fresno State.

The doubleheader was rescheduled after Sacramento outfielder Vince Beall died Friday night after a yearlong battle with cancer.

San Diego State won the opener, 10-3, but fell in the second game, 4-2. The Aztecs must hope for an at-large berth in the NCAA Division I tournament.

Cal State Northridge (25-30, 12-12 in conference play) finished third behind Fresno State (36-23, 15-9) and San Diego State (35-23, 15-9). Under the conference tiebreaker system, Fresno State earned the division championship because it won four of six games against Northridge. The Aztecs and Matadors split six games.

“There are no more funds so we’re making a trade here,” Ferrero said. “We’ve got X amount of dollars to work with and this was the decision, we in the athletic department, came to.”

The men’s team won state titles in 1968, ’69 and ’70 and the women’s team won in 1985.
