Pensacola Junior College’s volleyball team won the Panhandle Conference Championship Tuesday night, Oct. 13.

The Pirates clinched the title after defeating Gulf Coast Community College in four sets.

“A good night,” PJC coach Pete Pena told the Pensacola News Journal. “We came out and executed and really, really played well the first two sets. Tonight was a night when you knew the effort would be there.”

The win gives the Pirates a bid for the state tournament.

PJC faced Gulf Coast last week with a chance to clinch the title on the line as well. The outcome was different, however, as Gulf Coast defeated PJC and forced Tuesday’s deciding match.

“I think we came back with a tremendous attitude,” Pena said. “Those first two sets we actually dominated them. To their credit, they weren’t going to go down lightly.”

Next up, the Pirates travel to St. John’s River Community College Thursday, Oct. 15, before heading to Jacksonville to take part in the FCCJ Invitational over the weekend.

“We’re going to enjoy ourselves and keep our focus on volleyball,” Pena said. “We made a vow, made a promise that we’re going to get better every single day.”

Longtime local news personality Jeff Weeks hosts a new series 9 p.m. Fridays on WSRE, PBS for the Gulf Coast.

Filmed in high definition, “Conversations with Jeff Weeks” is a half-hour, weekly series that is “personality-driven,” featuring in-depth discussions with unique individuals and leading newsmakers from all walks of life.

“I want people to walk away feeling inspired and engaged by the individuals they meet on the program, but also to take away information they can actually use in their everyday lives,” Weeks says.
