Godette's Hoop at the Horn Makes PCC 2-0
(12/04/2008)
WINTERVILLE—Pitt Community College rallied from a four-point deficit in the final minute last night to beat Tidewater Community College on a Johnny Godette layup as the final buzzer sounded, 88-86.
The win gave PCC a 2-0 record on the season as the team prepares to face Louisburg College at home Saturday in Region X Conference action. Tip-off against the Hurricanes is set for 3 p.m. in the Charles Coburn Center.
Last night’s contest was a rematch between the Bulldogs and Tidewater. The teams faced each other in Portsmouth on Nov. 20 with PCC coming away with a convincing, 90-68 victory.
Round Two Wednesday was much closer. Led by Byron Carpenter, who finished with a game-high 41 points and 16 rebounds, the Storm outrebounded the Bulldogs en route to a 43-40 lead after a back-and-forth first half.
Softball Players, Coaches Hold Grifton Clinic
(12/02/2008)
GRIFTON--Pitt Community College softball coaches and players conducted a one-day softball skills clinic Nov. 29 for players from Grifton Elementary and Farmville Middle schools.
"This was an opportunity for our players to give back some of their softball knowledge to the community, whose support allows them to continue playing the sport they love," PCC Softball Coach Junior Bailey said. "This was a great experience for us all to be involved in. Too many times we forget where we were at this age. It's fun to go back and see the excitement of the players that were there.
"I hope that some of these players also may be future PCC Bulldogs; you never know," he added.
Bailey said he hoped the clinic would become an annual event. "It's a great way for us to just be in the community and our way of saying, 'Thank you,' for supporting PCC softball," he said.
