HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) released its first Top 15 poll of the regular season on Monday afternoon, and the HutchCC Blue Dragons are ranked No. 1.
The Blue Dragons were No. 2 in the preseason Top 15 poll, but after dismantling then-No. 11 Navarro in the season opener, 42-6, HutchCC found itself No. 1.
Hutchinson is one of three Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference (KJCCC) teams in the poll. Garden City is No. 5 and Butler is No. 13. Coffeyville and Highland are both receiving votes.
The Blue Dragons will host Ellsworth (Iowa) on Saturday morning at 11 a.m. in the home opener at Gowans Stadium. The game had originally been scheduled for 2 p.m., but was moved up in the day to avoid the high temperatures. This will be the annual First Responders Day.
The game will be broadcasted on Country 102.9-FM, the radio home for Blue Dragon athletics. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. with Countdown to Kickoff beginning at 10:30 a.m.
The rest of the Top 15 can be found here.
