The photo shows a basketball sideline scene during what appears to be a game or practice. In the foreground, a player wearing a white uniform with yellow and black trim is standing next to a person in a light gray long-sleeve top with a logo featuring the letters “JC.” The player’s jersey has visible text reading “JOHNSON” and “COUNTY,” indicating affiliation with Johnson County Community College. The background includes a scorer’s table covered with a bright red cloth featuring blue and yellow lettering, partially showing “JCCC” and “CHAMP.” On the table are electronic devices, papers, and a basketball. Behind the table, several individuals are seated and working, with one person appearing to handle game operations. The setting is indoors, with dark blue bleachers visible behind the group, suggesting a gymnasium environment. The lighting is bright and evenly distributed, typical of sports venues.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – The No. 3-ranked Johnson County Community College men's basketball team, up two spots in the latest NJCAA Division II poll, rallied in the second half to defeat Metropolitan Community College 85-79, securing head coach Rand Chappell's 500th career collegiate victory. Chappell now stands at 142-31 in his tenure at JCCC.

Trailing by 10 at halftime, the Cavaliers opened the second half with a decisive 16-4 surge to pull even, then closed strong to remain perfect at 10-0 on the season.

Johnson County's starting five powered the win, accounting for 78 of the team's 85 points. Sophomore forward Tavian Cruse delivered his second straight double-double with 22 points and 15 rebounds. Sophomore guards Gavin Harvey and Aidan Wing each added 22 points, with Wing connecting on 10-of-15 attempts from the field. Freshman guard Avian Webb—named KJCCC D-II Player of the Week on Tuesday—contributed 10 points.

Johnson County now prepares for just its second road test of the season, traveling to face Iowa Central Community College on Saturday, November 29.
