WINTERVILLE—Pitt Community College Athletics will hold a reverse drawing Sept. 23 to raise money for the college’s four intercollegiate sports teams.
According to PCC Athletics Director Junior Bailey, the fundraiser is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. and will take place at the Greenville Shrine Club on Old Tar Road. Tickets are $100 each, which includes entry to the drawing and dinner for two.
For those unfamiliar with reverse drawings, the goal is to be holding the last ticket number called. Bailey said a total of 200 tickets would be sold for PCC’s event with the winner receiving a $3,000 prize.
Volleyball Returns Seven for 2010 Season
(08/16/2010)
WINTERVILLE—A new division, new recruits and seven returning players should give Pitt Community College volleyball coach Tom Marsh plenty to look forward to when his club opens the 2010 regular season this month.
The Bulldogs, who finished 21-14 last year and narrowly missed a chance to reach the national championship tournament in Iowa, will play in the NJCAA’s Division II this fall, after competing at the Division I-level since the program’s inception.
Marsh said the switch to Division II was the right move for Pitt, explaining that Division I programs can offer scholarships that cover an athlete’s room and board in addition to tuition, books and fees. Since North Carolina community colleges, including PCC, do not offer campus housing, Marsh said the Bulldogs were at a disadvantage in Division I.
“We were competing against teams we cannot compete with for the national championship,” he said.
