The Clipper\u2019s basketball teams have absolutely \u2018slam dunked\u2019 this season by winning bids for both the women\u2019s and men\u2019s teams to advance to the Northwest Athletic Conference tournament (NWAC). After fighting hard this season with great wins and humble defeats, the community at South Puget Sound Community College (SPSCC) is excited to be cheering on the basketball teams for the NWAC.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our second year of having a winning record, the last time the SPS women\u2019s program has had that was I think back in 2008, so this group here has done amazing things to get us where we\u2019re at,\u201d said Darah Vining, the head women\u2019s coach for SPSCC basketball.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have the opportunity to compete at the NWAC tournament this next week, so the girls have really been dedicated to each other and they\u2019ve stayed disciplined to what we coaches have asked them to do. They\u2019ve worked hard and competed, and it has given us this opportunity to come back to the tournament and do something special,\u201d she followed. We couldn\u2019t agree more with how their hard work and dedication has shown, as going into the tournament, the clipper\u2019s women\u2019s team is seeded second out of the 16 competitive teams invited.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vining described the competition process as \u201cessentially the sweet 16 and then the elite eight, and then after your two games if you continue past that round, you come back the following weekend and then you play for the final four championship game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a loser-out tournament, meaning after one loss the chance of winning the championship is out the window. This is the second year the Women\u2019s team has advanced to the NWAC, unfortunately in the 2021-2022 season they were eliminated after the first game.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were probably one of the lowest seeds and unfortunately, we were knocked out of the first round by the number one seed last year so the amount of work and time they have put in over the summer and in the season to put us in a position to compete at a high level this go around is important. We want to make it past this first round and that\u2019s kind of the significance, to do better than we did last year,\u201d commented Vining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about the mindset the team has going into the tournament, Vining responded, \u201cWe have four pillars in our program it\u2019s family, commitment, accountability, and respect. Those four things have really driven us this whole year. Two things that we have been talking about a lot are effort and communication and play together as a family, if we can get that all together paired with our four pillars and playing as a family, I think we could do some great things and I think that\u2019s kind of what drove us to where we\u2019re at right now. The mindset going in is all or nothing, it\u2019s a loser-out game so we want to give everything we have, leave it all out on the floor!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, in preparation for the upcoming game, they are \u201cgoing to practice hard, and continue the same mindset we\u2019ve had all year to hopefully give us that fight to win that first game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vining finished with, \u201cwe\u2019re excited! Loser out, leave it all on the court, let\u2019s see what we can do!\u201d We can\u2019t wait to see what our women\u2019s basketball team is capable of this week as they head off to the NWAC tournament!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that wasn\u2019t already exciting enough, the SPSCC Men\u2019s team has also secured their spot in the NWAC tournament!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about the significance of qualifying and competing in the NWAC, the Men\u2019s head basketball coach Zachary Smith said, \u201cIt\u2019s huge for the program, it\u2019s huge for the athletic department. The amount of support that Puget Sound has for not just students, but student-athletes is huge because it\u2019s kind of a tip of the hat of the support we have here. I think it means a lot to our sophomores who went through a really tough season last year and I\u2019m really happy they get to go to the NWAC tournament and play in front of 4-year coaches and be in the mix with some of the top teams at the NWAC\u2026 and to do it in year one\u2026 it just ended up working out in our favor. Our guys played really hard, and I knew that was their goal.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on how the season has progressed Smith said, \u201cwe didn\u2019t really believe we were as good as we were, they didn\u2019t understand how competitive we could be,\u201d during the beginning of this season. They turned this around by \u201cbeating lower Columbia at home\u2026 it kind of solidified their belief that we are pretty dang good, and we can compete with anybody. The trust and belief that we were on the right track kind of set in, and we just slowly started to build that confidence over time and it\u2019s about consistency. I\u2019m trying to preach to them, you can never be too high, and you can never be too low you just have to stay consistent and stay to the course and\u2026 it\u2019s kind of all come together here at the end of the year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And come together it has, as the men\u2019s team is going into the conference seeded 4th being the first time the clipper\u2019s basketball team has gone to the NWAC since the 2019-2020 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When describing the mindset of the team leading up to this success and the mindset the team has going into the tournament, Smith responded, \u201cjust be us, I mean we found success with just playing really good basketball. It\u2019s staying consistent to what we do it\u2019s staying us and playing our style of basketball, knowing we defend really well and just making sure we don\u2019t play out of character.\u201d \u201cOur strongest asset is that our guys really genuinely like seeing each other succeed. And there\u2019s no selfishness and if you can build around that and put your finger on it\u2026 you can beat anybody.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are ecstatic to watch the clipper\u2019s men\u2019s team as they advance to the tournament this week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about what contributed to the teams\u2019 successes this season, both coaches emphasized the amount of community and support we have here at SPSCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou could name everybody student life, housing, advising, student support center, everyone has done amazing things this year to support the student-athletes,\u201d said Smith. \u201cI want to do it (compete at the NWAC) for everyone that puts in incredible amounts of effort and time to support our student-athletes,\u201d he followed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vining also stressed how important the support of people all around campus is. When talking about what drew her to coaching at SPSCC, Vining said \u201cmy final interview was with Dave Pelkey, and before he asked me questions, he really spoke his vision about the school itself and he talked a lot about community and just bringing people together. Since I\u2019ve been here that\u2019s really what I felt like we get in our department and with our team and me personally as an employee there is a lot of support in our community. I\u2019d say community and support is huge for me and its why I really love SPS and why I chose SPS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support is important at SPSCC, it is what makes our community so special, and the athletic department does it\u2019s very best to provide that support and resources to the programs wherever it\u2019s needed. In an interview with Vernell Willingham, SPSCC\u2019s athletic director, emphasized the amount of work going into supporting student-athletes. \u201cThe community, I believe, does a great job,\u201d he said while talking about student-athlete support. \u201cAnd when I say community, from this building over to when they first enroll and register, through financial aid, through finding jobs and positions, the DEIC, student life, housing that we have, we all come together. We all come together to talk about and figure out how we can make the best experience for these students and student-athletes.\u201d \u201cWe want them to actually grow as people from the first time they step on campus until they graduate and get a certificate and leave campus. So I think that\u2019s our main focus, and we can only do that by understanding what they need, but then also understanding what can be provided. And I think we do a pretty good job at working together to help students in any way they can possibly have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willingham understands the community of SPSCC better than almost anyone as he has attended as a student and worked at the college for around 21 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI enjoy what I do, and I get to stay connected to sports, and sports is what I love, so I\u2019m happy\u201d he said about his position as athletic director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willingham talked about the significance of improvement. He continued this thought about the season with, \u201cI am extremely happy to see where we\u2019re from towards the middle of the season. You really didn\u2019t know how well the team would come together and play together, but I believe they stuck together, and they had some adversity that they thought through. And now I am extremely happy that they get a chance to go to the championships, for one to see what it is like, feel what it\u2019s like, and hopefully at the championships, be able to do some damage and hopefully come back with some hardware!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that enthusiasm and a readiness to compete, the clipper\u2019s basketball teams are excited to be playing at the NWAC and we could not be more eager to cheer them on!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
