Palomino athletic programs at Laredo Community College are in full swing this spring, offering "MORE" excitement for sport enthusiasts to enjoy.
Dr. Ramon H. Dovalina, LCC president and a big fan of the Palominos, encourages persons of all ages to experience the thrills of fast-paced collegiate athletics.
"As members of the Palomino athletics program, student athletes are to be commended for their performance both on and off the field. They work hard to represent themselves well in the classroom and in the community. Their accomplishments bring positive recognition to LCC and the city. For that reason, our community should be proud of our athletes, and come out and support them," said Dovalina.
The Palomino baseball team, headed by third-year head coach Ruben Lozano, has started the season with a string of wins against foes UT-Brownsville and Austin Community College.
The team's schedule includes matches against National Christian University, Blinn College, Schreiner College, San Jacinto College, Galveston College, South Suburban College, Alvin College, Independence College, and Wharton.
The nationally ranked Palomino men's and women's tennis teams are also involved in hot conference action this season. The team's game schedule includes matches against UT-San Antonio, A&M-Corpus Christi, Schreiner, Incarnate Word University, Temple Junior College, Tyler Junior College, Collin County College, Lee College and UT-Pan American. The team is led by Coach Jaime Donjuan.
All home games are free and open to the community. For game date/time information, call LCC Athletics Director Troy Van Brunt at 721-5326.

This spring, LCC's cable channel on Time Warner Communications, TV55, is offering "MORE" educational opportunities, including a new GED TV series and more local programming.
This month, the LCC Adult Education program will launch a new educational television series for persons interested in preparing for testing for the General Educational Development (GED) Diploma.
The TV series, titled "The GED Connection," consists of 39 half-hour programs covering both the content and the new format of the GED 2002 exam. It was produced by the Kentucky Educational Television, a leader in educational programming and the largest PBS member network in America.
LCC will continue to expand its local programming of cultural and educational television programs on TV55. This includes more entertainment programs featuring LCC music and dance students, groups, and special programs.
Among the new local projects being launched by TV 55 is "The Green Forum," a program focusing on the environmental viewpoint of area political candidates. The series will consist of seven hour-long programs and is scheduled for broadcast in late February.
For more information about GED TV programming, call the LCC Adult Education Department at 721-5436. For general information about LCC TV55, call 721-5211.
