PVCC Students Win D-League Championship

After a close game, a team of PVCC students won the local D-League basketball championships on Sunday, April 12.

In the first minutes of the game, spectator and PVCC student Treshawne Henderson summed up the players attitude: “the boys in red want it.”

At that point, PVCC led 8-0.

They quickly lost the lead and ended the first half trailing their opponents at 25-27.

However, the PVCC players returned from halftime quicker, sharper, and more driven than ever. Despite numerous fouls on both sides, their speed, teamwork, and heart spurred them on to regain the lead in the second half after a third tie at 31 even.

When the final buzzer sounded, the board read 47 for the home team and 54 for PVCC.

After the game, the team’s coach Larry Sandridge said, “[the boys] played their hearts out.”

The father of player Aaron Sandridge, Coach Sandridge described the team as, “a bunch of great, young guys.”

Currently, it is unclear if the team will return to the D-League next season.
