PC Notes:
Coastal Carolina 48 – PC 17… Last Saturday the Blue Hose football team hosted the Chanticleers of Coastal Carolina on Homecoming… The Homecoming crowd of about 4400 went home disappointed as Coastal took a 48-17 win… One problem for PC was the fact that they had two interceptions and a lost fumble which led to Coastal Points… For more information on the game, click here… The Blue Hose drop to 2-6 on the year and will have their last home game this Saturday when they host Liberty at Bailey Memorial Stadium in a Big South contest.
