Welcome Kankakee Commu-nity College student athletes, parents, Cavalier supporters and fans!
There is excitement and energy as we prepare for another year at KCC, and we are so happy to have all of you along for the journey. Each of our men’s and women’s teams had a successful year in 2014-2015, and a few had extraordinary accomplishments. Cavalier teams and players from last year experienced successful
winning seasons, national (NJCAA) rankings and tournament appearances, All-Americans and Academic All-Americans, a MLB 2015 draft pick, numerous All-Tournament players, a NJCAA Hall of Fame induction, a National Tournament MVP, and our KCC women’s softball team was your NJCAA Division II National Cham-pion. It was an amazing year for KCC, our teams, and our players. Even more amazing was watching the continued development, academically and personally, of our student athletes.
The 2015-2016 year also promises to be an exciting one for our teams and our players. I am proud of the role KCC plays in the overall growth of our student athletes, and equally proud of how
our Cavalier teams represent our excellent institution. The student athletes of KCC live our motto to Start Here – Finish Anywhere. It is my firm belief that education is the key to all of our life successes, and I remain committed to our mission to develop leaders. Our athletic program, and each sport, begin with the strong dedication of our complete coaching staff and are supported by the KCC Board of Trustees and our community. As parents and educators, we pledge to join your efforts to provide encouragement and sup-port to our student athletes.
I wish our student athletes success both as a student and an athlete at Kankakee Community College. It is an honor to be part of the Cavalier family, and I would like to thank the parents of our student athletes, each member of the coaching staff, and the members of our Cavalier Club who help to support our athletic teams. Please join the Board of Trustees, myself, faculty, staff and all Cavalier fans in wishing each of our teams and coaches a successful season. I challenge everyone to come out and watch our teams play.
Go Cavs!

SEASON PREVIEW
The Lady Cavaliers return to the hardwood intent on making a strong appearance at the Region IV Tournament.
The team finished with a record of 19 wins and 11 losses last year, and will feature 12 new freshmen, one transfer sophomore, and one returning sophomore. Success will depend on growth, leadership, and the ability of the newcomers to learn quick, listen, and be coachable.
Coach Donnie Denson will ask the freshmen to step up and make their presence felt on the offensive and defensive ends. The sopho-mores will be expected to lead by example and continue the hard-nosed style of play that has earned 19 National Tournament appear-ances in the past 25 years for the Lady Cavaliers.
The 2015-16 schedule has the Cavs facing off against South Suburban College, Moraine Valley C.C., Prairie State College, Morton College, and Rock Valley C.C. in Region IV. The schedule also takes the Cavaliers out of Region IV, as they play Kalamazoo Valley C.C., Danville Area C.C., Parkland College, Lake Michigan College, and Lake Land College.
The Lady Cavaliers expect to face several nationally ranked teams. The 2015-16 schedule includes five contests against Division I op-ponents, 19 with Division II teams, and three Division III teams that should give the Cavs the preparation necessary to compete for the regional championship crown.
