CCC will have a good chance to test the strength of both its men's and women's basketball teams as they travel to Hutchinson Community College on Wednesday.

Both Blue Dragons squads were predicted to finish first in the Western Division of the Jayhawk Conference, according to the preseason coaches poll. The men started their season with an 87-71 victory over Seminole State College, while the women defeated the Bethany College JV 92-34.

The Red Raven men are 2-0 and won both their non-conference matchups by 40+ points. The women are 1-0, and defeated Southwest Christian University's JV last Wednesday. Men's head coach Jay Herkelman said the Blue Dragons are always a tough matchup.

This will be the fourth straight year that Coffeyville and Hutchinson have opened up conference play against each other. Wedneday's action will start with the women's game at 5:30 pm, with the men to follow. You can catch the games on the air, with pregame starting 15 minutes prior to tip-off on US98.1, KUSN.
