Clarendon College Basketball Returns to NJCAA DI CompetitionFebruary 20, 2012 The Clarendon College Bulldog Basketball Teams are making a return to compete in the toughest junior college conference in the nation next year. “After approval from the National Junior College Athletic Association as well as the Western Junior College Athletic Conference, and with final approval from the Clarendon College Board of Regents, the basketball programs will move to NJCAA Division I competition starting next year,” CC Athletic Director John Green said. “I am thrilled we are making this move back into DI status.” Some of the reasons for this move include that during the last three years there has been a reduction of DII programs in close proximity to Clarendon College. To remain DII would have required a lot more travel and overnight stays. The closest DII basketball college was farther away than the farthest WJCAC DI basketball college. “The level of competition our teams were forced to play included way too many JV teams,” Green said. “We had lost our identity as being one of the toughest home court advantages in NJCAA DI competition. We will return to the glory days of the conference games.” “I am excited to promote doubleheader basketball coming back to Clarendon,” Green said. “A night of fun and exciting basketball complimented with activities, events and contest will create the best show in town.” The conference, region and nation have lit up over the Bulldog return to DI competition. “Personally, I think Clarendon College’s return to NJCAA Division I Basketball and to the WJCAC Basketball schedule is outstanding,” Conference President Dr Steve McCleery states. “Once again, the WJCAC basketball teams are complete. I commend the Clarendon College Administration and Athletic Department for their commitment to excellence. Thank you Clarendon College.” Several advantages for our community will come along with the DI status. “Men’s Basketball Coach Tony Starnes has already started the creation of two basketball tournaments next November,” Green said. “Being NJCAA DI will help in attracting competition to fill these events. This in turn will benefit many of the businesses in Clarendon.” These teams, along with fans, will be spending the night, eating, fueling their vehicles and shopping in Clarendon over the weekend. “This falls in line with one of my primary goals of generating business for the community of Clarendon by attracting teams and fans to Clarendon College,” Green said. “Already on the calendar in fall 2013 is the Region Cross Country Meet where teams will qualify to advance to the NJCAA National Cross Country Meet.” Conference schedules will be coming out next week and the coaches will build the season schedule around them. “This move will create 7 double header home contests for our basketball teams in January and February,” Green said. “The teams over the past three years have had very few double header contests. I am ready to start the planning for the “Best Show in Town” and the attention and focus it will bring to Clarendon College and the surrounding communities.” |
