PANAMA CITY- The Gulf Coast Community College Lady Commodores volleyball team plays in the panhandle conference and their only other conference foe is Pensacola Junior College.
Last week, the Dores’ beat the Lady Pirates for the third time this season, which meant they clenched the conference title.
“Coach Bortnick and I were a little worried that whole week preparing for PJC, because we had won two matches and we needed one more to win. Sometimes you can get a little over-confident. These girls never stopped working hard, kept trying to get better improving our game and came in here and had no problem with them,” said GCCC co-head coach Terri Bedford.
After claiming the conference title last week, one major goal for Gulf Coast is complete. So what’s next for the Lady Dores’?
“One goal is to get 20 wins. We play like 50 matches. We want to get 20 wins for sure, and we definitely want to win a match at state,” said sophomore Caitlin Smith.
“Just getting 20 wins and winning at least one game at state,” said sophomore Lydia Graff.
“After we win the conference it was 20 wins, and then after 20 wins hopefully going far in state and see what we can do,” said freshman Brittany Dennison.
Getting those 20 wins is a goal that the team feels it can accomplish.
“We’re nonstop. Nothing will get in our way. We have to have 20 wins,” said Graff.
“It’s not like we’re done. We’re not satisfied yet, nothing is settled. We want to beat them five times straight and we’re still trying to get 20 wins,” Bedford said.
The team is currently 12-12 on the season, so if the 20 win goal is tackled; the next goal is success in the state tournament.
“At the state tournament we’re going play some tough competition. So, we’re trying to get better, still lifting weights, still doing beach workouts, still sprinting, doing everything we can to prepare for tougher teams down in the state tournament,” Bedford said.
“Very steep competition, it’s going to be really tough. There are really good teams at state, so we’ll have to work hard to get there,” said Smith.
“It’s supposed to be really good teams, but nothing we can’t handle, nothing we can’t step up too,” Graff said.
Stepping up to the challenge is something these goal setters, and breakers, think they can do.
“It’s going be like we’re going up against giants and our job is to knock them down and that’s what we’re working on,” Bedford said.
