Cowley also had their season come to an end, falling 61-60 to the Trinity Valley Cardinals. KJCCC Player of the Year Marcus Whitlock had 22 points, but free throw line struggles hurt the Tigers late. Cowley finishes the season 30-5.
The Hutchinson and Dodge City women's teams are still alive in the championship chase. The Blue Dragons won a close battle with South Georgia Tech, and play this afternoon against No. 6 seed Three Rivers. Dodge City earned a convincing win against Arizona Western, and await their Quarterfinal opponent tomorrow.
