Kudos to the community colleges doing it well

Well in this case means providing reports of their respective games. With newspapers and community college sports long ago taking divergent paths (unless one happens to be the biggest thing in a smallish town), it's up to the individual basketball program to step up and provide a presence.

Cabrillo College does this well. So does Butte College. Count Consumes River College in the plus side too.

Please do let us know of others and we will highlight them too..

The new CCCMBCA site is also a major help in tracking community college basketball so do bookmark it.
