Porterville College has laid the foundation for a long list of dignitaries and the latest three people to be honored at PC’s Athletic Hall of Fame Banquet on Saturday at River Island all acknowledged the same thing. PC laid the foundation for them as well.

Former softball greats Shayla Cain and Mandi Foss were the latest athletes to be inducted into PC’s Athletic Hall of Fame while Gary Reed received the Distinguished Alumni Award.
