2022-2023 Eagles Awards Brunch

On Saturday, April 1, 2023, the Eagles, Lady Eagles, staff, and friends all came together for the 2022–2023 Eagles Awards Brunch. Athletic Director (AD) Addison Calley opened with a lighthearted joke by saying, "Before we get this banquet started, I wanted to let you athletes be the first to know about our athletic department rebranding. We are no longer going to be the Eagles. From this moment forward, we will now be known as the PCC Dolphins! And I would like to welcome all of you once again to this year's Eagles Awards Brunch on April Fools' day! So, we obviously will not be rebranding ourselves as the PCC Dolphins."

This year, many team awards were received. Individually, PCC had 7 student-athletes of the week, 18 regional awards, 10 national awards, 1 Region Player of the Year, and 1 National Player of the Year. Furthermore, each team had a player set a career record!

Lady Eagles Volleyball

Kenzie Folker–All-time leader in assists (1,438)
Brittney Hunter–All-time leader in kills (670)
Kenzie Folker–New record holder for assists in a single season (789)

Eagles Soccer

Clint Peterson–All-time leader in minutes played (6,001)

Lady Eagles Basketball

Leah Phelps–1,000 Career Points

Eagles Basketball

AJ Ward–1,000 Career Points
Austin Lewis–1,000 Career Points
Christian Porter–1,000 Career Points

After the introduction by AD Calley, this year's ceremonies began with each team's coach presenting their team awards. Each coach began with their own introduction. Coach Ohman opened by saying, "The facilities, the gear, the lessons learned, the doors opened because of Eagles Athletics are all gifts given specifically to these athletes. And while the gift of the 2022 season came with losses and frustrations, it also came with celebrations and record-breaking achievements." Although Coach Ohman was introducing the Lady Eagles volleyball team, this quote reaches to all four sports and encompasses every PCC student-athlete.
