SCC Men’s Basketball Tips-Off Season On Sunday

The Shoreline Community College Men’s Basketball Team launches the 2011-12 season on the road at Northwest Indian College on Sunday at 2:00 PM in Bellingham, WA. The 2011-12 Dolphins come into the season with high hopes and sights set on another NWAACC Northern Region Championship. The 2009-10 SCC team won the region and advanced to the NWAACC Men’s Basketball Championship but last year, the 2010-11 squad finished 13-13 overall and 6-10 in the region.

2nd Year Head Coach Greg Turcott welcomed over 40 players to camp in September and now hopes the numbers will equate to wins in the new “High Scoring – Three Point” style offense put in this season. SCC is thin on returning players, but does have 2009-10 star, Jesse Vaughn, back to the roster after a year off of competition. The 6’5” forward from Spokane helped led the SCC squad to the 2010 region championship with a 15 points per game average. SCC also returns Joe Bodman and KJ Hong from the 2010-11 team.

SCC has an assortment of new freshmen and transfer players in hopes of finding the right combination of team members for a successful 2011-12 season. SCC’s lone home game before the January region season begins will be a rematch with Northwest Indian on Sunday, December 11 at 6:00 PM.

SCC plays in tournaments at Pierce College, the Community College of Spokane and Wenatchee Valley Community College before the Christmas break as well.
