(11/17/2009)
Pitt Community College basketball is off to a 2-1 record this season as the team prepares for the Storm Shootout this weekend at Tidewater Community College.
The Bulldogs tipped off the 2009-10 campaign Nov. 7 on the road at Davidson County Community College and emerged with a 76-72 victory. Prior to their loss to PCC, the Storm had been a remarkable 27-1 in their home gym over the past two seasons.
“They are a well-coached team, and they play very hard,” Pitt coach Chad Reynolds said of Davidson. “… Our coaching staff was very pleased with the poise that our guys had down the stretch. We were able to take control of the game late and hit some key free throws that put it away.”
