Scovel, dad have special bond
NEWS HERALD (Josh Weinfuss ) - PANAMA CITY - Last year's trip to the NJCAA national finals seemed to have it all for the Gulf Coast Lady Commodores. Except for C.J. Scovel. For the first time in seven trips to Salina, Kan., Roonie Scovel's father was unable to travel with the team. He was suffering from C.O.P.D., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a severe form of emphysema, and five compression fractures in his back. "We fully understood because we knew he couldn't go," Roonie said. "But just a little difficult because he was always right there."

GC women's basketball team ranked fifth in preseason poll
NEWS HERALD (Josh Weinfuss ) - PANAMA CITY - The new shoes are out of their boxes, the new balls are inflated and the new practice uniforms are hanging in the lockers. Wednesday marks the first official day of practice for the Gulf Coast men's and women's basketball teams. And both have new, young squads. "We've had all this preseason conditioning, preseason shootarounds, preseason weights. Now it means it's not long off that we're going to line up and play," Lady Commodores coach Roonie Scovel said. Of the 14 players on the roster, Scovel returns three members of last year's national championship team. The youth of this year's squad makes the next couple of weeks of practice until the first preseason exhibition all the more important. "You got to have great practices. You got to have great work ethic," Scovel said. "With a lot of young kids, you have to be ready. That attitude comes from a sense of urgency."
Both teams have 30 days to get the 11 freshmen women, and seven freshmen men ready for the Oct. 31 season opener.
