Men\u2019s And Women\u2019s Basketball Remain Unbeaten In Different Ways<\/b><\/p>\n

It was a good week for Cavs basketball, as both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams were victorious to stay undefeated.<\/p>\n

The men scored a close 61-57 win over Kansas City Kansas Community College<\/a> that was too close to comfort. A surprise that could show some cracks just as tournament time gets close.<\/p>\n

The first half was not the best showing, as by the end of it the Cavs trailed by 11.\u00a0 The Cavs had a difficult time keeping pace as KCKCC scored 12 off the fast break.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, during the dying breath of the game, the Cavs would go on a 15-4 run to stay perfect. The men then beat Labette Community College<\/a> on Saturday in another tight game, 66-56, to move to 26-0.<\/p>\n

Women’s basketball also stays undefeated, but with blowout wins: 76-50 against KCKCC<\/a> and 93-62 against Labette . Their KCKCC matchup was never close from the first quarter on, and the Cavs held a solid lead throughout. The offensive strategy was apparent as 48 pts came in the paint.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the men face Fort Scott Community College<\/a> at home.\u00a0 Fort Scott holds a record of 14-11 and a conference record of 5-3. They are coming off close losses to Neosho County and Allen County.\u00a0 During their last encounter with the Cavs, it was a blowout loss for Fort Scott<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also on Wednesday, the women’s team will be home to take on Fort Scott,\u00a0 which has only 4 wins to this point.\u00a0 Last time these teams met, it was a 72-43 win for the Cavs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Hot Start For JCCC Baseball\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Johnson County Community College’s baseball team has made an impressive start to its 2025-2026 season. The Cavaliers have posted a record of 11-1 (.900)<\/a>. The hot start included four straight wins, followed by one loss, and then a seven-game win streak to date.<\/p>\n

The Cavaliers started the season\u00a0 winning a double-header against Amarillo College, scoring 30 runs between both games. The Cavs ended the four-game series by sweeping Amarillo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

High expectations have been set for the 2025-2026 season, following the 2024-2025 season that ended with a 52-13 (.800) record and a NJCAA Division 1 World Series<\/a> appearance.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to next week, JCCC baseball will host Pratt Community College with a doubleheader on Friday, Feb. 20, and finish the series Saturday, Feb. 21. Pratt currently sits at 4-2 <\/a>and has notably lost both times as the visiting team.<\/p>\n

With the season ramping up and in full swing, visit the JCCC baseball schedule<\/a> to\u00a0 catch a game.<\/p>\n
