WNCC is making a name for itself in Australia, as this story on Cougar basketball player Jenna Colwell appeared in the Townsville Bulletin in Townsville, Queensland, Austalia. For the complete story instead of the brief about Jenna, you can go to this link: http://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/article/2008/05/27/13396_talknorth.htmluJaws sign grows on southside publican
FORMER Queensland rugby league prop forward and founding member of the unofficial North Queensland Rugby League Hall of Fame Marshall Colwell has an interesting sign above the doorway of his vibrant Commonwealth Hotel in South Townsville.
Marshall's nickname is Jaws or The Jawman, a fact not missed by local signwriter Scottie Peters, who designed and put up the new sign while Marshall was away.
It's become the talk of the pub and even the big fella himself admits to having grown to like it.
Meanwhile, much ado in the Colwell household today with the arrival home from America of basketball-playing daughter, Jenna, 20 (pictured below).
The former St Joey's on The Strand student, who honed her basketball skills in Year 12 at Town High and went on to play for Queensland, is now on a full scholarship to the Western Nebraska Community College.
Hit that college's website and you'll see her name up in basketballing lights.
She's on summer break and has just had a few days in Brisbane playing catch-up with older brothers, the twins, Sam and Dan.
She'll be home in Townsville tonight for a roast dinner with a very excited mum and dad. While here she will probably even grace the bar of the old man's rubbidy for a cold glass of lemonade.
