The Pasco-Hernando State College men’s basketball team opens the 2017-2018 regular season on Nov. 1, with a home game against local rival Hillsborough Community College. Tip-off is at 7 p.m., on PHSC’s West Campus in New Port Richey, 10230 Ridge Road.
The Bobcats are looking to improve on last season’s 12-14 mark, with several impact players on this year’s roster, including Wesley Chapel’s Theaplais Williams, a 6-foot-7-freshman center with a knack for rebounding.
“We have an impressive group of athletes who have the potential to be great,” PHSC basketball coach Michael Jones said, in a release.
The program is just two years removed from a 17-10 record, which included a top-eight finish at the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region 10 tournament.
The state college is a member of the Florida College System Activities Association (FCSAA) and the NJCAA.
