July 16,
2008 - At a recent meeting of the Commission on
Athletics, Dr. Rosa Carlson, President of Porterville
College, was nominated for an appointment to the COA Board
of Directors. She will replace Ned Doffoney, who has left
Fresno City College.
C. Logan
McKechnie, Commissioner of the Central Valley Conference,
sent congratulations to Carlson, who will represent the CVC
on the state COA board for the next three years. According
to McKechnie, the board is responsible for the conduct of
all junior college sports in the state of California.
“We are
honored that Dr. Carlson accepted the nomination for this
important position. She has shown outstanding leadership in
her positions at two colleges and her experience will be a
valued addition to the board,” McKechnie said. “She is
dedicated to the observation of the rules for athletic
programs and is determined to uphold the standards set by
the COA board. We look forward to working with her during
her term on the board.”
“The
nomination to this board is a surprise to me but I accept it
with the knowledge that it is an important task that the
board has in working within the statewide community college
athletic system of over 100 colleges. I will do my best to
honestly and thoroughly work with the board to make sure our
college athletics bring pride to their communities and the
state. Representing our CVC will be a pleasure,” Carlson
said.

Baseball Team Pitches In
PC head baseball coach Del Marine and a few stars
from his team were guest instructors at the Porterville
Parks & Leisure 2008 Junior Giants Baseball Clinic on
Saturday, June 14. The Pirates helped to coordinate baseball
drills for 200 kids, ranging in ages from 5 to 18, at the
Porterville Sports Complex.
All of the participants withstood the 100 degree
temperature during the five hour camp.
“This was a great experience for the children and our
team as well,” Coach Marine said. “I’m not sure who had more
fun. We were able to teach the fundamentals of baseball and
interact with a great program in our community. We look
forward to making this an annual event.”
Porterville Parks & Leisure Services Superintendent
Donnie Moore was pleased by the turnout and the new
partnership with the PC Athletic Department.
“We appreciate Coach Marine and his players for
volunteering their time and expertise,” Moore said. “They
did an outstanding job and the event was a huge success.”
