WBB Finishes Season as MCCAA Champs

The Kellogg Community College women's basketball team won recently completed their most successful seasons in almost two decades. Under the direction of Head Coach Sal Konkle, in her second season at the helm, the Bruins were Michigan Community College Athletic Association Western Conference Champions, and won 20+ games for the first time since 2007! Additionally, the Bruins hosted and won a Great Lakes District A playoff game. 

The team clinched their share of the conference title on February 27th vs. Ancilla College where they decisively won 71-51 in their home gym. Head Coach, Sal Konkle said, "I am so very proud of this team... We have a group of sophomores who have propelled our team from last to first. Great competitors and better people. We still have work to do [in the playoffs next week]."

 

The team is graduating five sophomores: Shayla Ardis (Battle Creek/BC Central), Lillian Fulcher (Paw Paw/Paw Paw), Corrin Replogle (Middleville/Thornapple Kellogg), Cheria Richardson (Battle Creek/BC Central), and Mary Whitmore (Dowling/Delton Kellogg). 

The following week, the Bruins hosted Lake Michigan College for a playoff game, where they proved their worth once again, topping the Redhawks 77-48. Coach said " [I am] so very proud of our effort and execution! This team has continued to exceed expectations and has made steady growth in the course of the season." The Bruins fell later that week in a battle with Hocking College in the semifinals of the Great Lakes District A tournament.

Following their tremendous season, MCCAA and NJCAA Region 12 recongized four Bruins for their efforts, naming them to All-Conference and All-Region selections:
