NOTES AND QUOTES for a Monday in the Napa Valley:

It’s been eight weeks since the NFL Draft, and Marquis Hundley is still waiting and hoping for something to happen.

“I’m not going to hang it up just yet,” said Hundley, a Napa High School graduate and former University of Arizona cornerback. “I’m not done playing. I know I’m good enough to be on an NFL team.”

As a tryout player, Hundley intercepted a pass in a Chicago Bears’ rookie minicamp in Lake Forest, Ill., in early May. But Hundley never heard back from the Bears. There were 43 players in for the camp, which was a series of non-contact practices.

“I did well,” he said in a phone interview from Tucson. “I did everything they asked of me.”

Hundley went undrafted after a senior year in which he tied for the team lead with four interceptions as Arizona ended its season by winning the Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl. He had 59 total tackles with seven pass breakups and a forced fumble.

He had offseason surgery on his knee, but still worked out for NFL scouts from New England, Carolina and Buffalo.

“I just want to play. It’s just about opportunity. I’m waiting for an opportunity. I’m not going to give up.”

Hundley, who was an all-Northern California Conference player at Santa Rosa Junior College, is taking two classes as he finishes up his studies at Arizona. He’s also working out with a strength coach, trying to stay in the best shape possible in case a team comes calling in advance of training camp.

“I still think something is going to happen,” he said.

Hundley said his 40-yard time was in the high 4.3’s, low 4.4’s last year. But after injuring his knee, it has dropped to a 4.5.

“I’m trying to get my speed back, to where it should be. I’m frustrated, because I know that I’m faster than that.”

In three games so far for the Bruins, Roualdes is 0-1 with a 1.50 earned run average. In 12 innings, he’s allowed eight runs (two earned) on eight hits, walked 10 and struck out six.

Dmitry Tursunov won his first grass court trophy, defeating Canadian qualifier Frank Dancevic, 6-3, 7-6 (5), in the men’s singles final of the AEGON International in Eastbourne, England on Saturday.

Tursunov, who is from Russia, spent the month of December in Napa, training at Napa Valley Country Club.

“It’s good to win, it doesn’t matter which surface it is on,” Tursunov, the No. 2 seed, said on the tournament’s Web site.

Tursunov, now with six career titles to his credit, is seeded 25th for Wimbledon. The tournament starts today and goes through July 5 at The All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club at Wimbledon, England.
