Are you excited about March Madness? The NCJAA Women’s Basketball Championship is returning to JCCC this year, and was founded by JCCC’s first Athletic Director Orville Gregory. The first NCJAA Women’s Basketball Championship took place in 1975 at JCCC, and would remain at JCCC until 1982. In 2000 JCCC won the Division II Championship.
