Jefferson Finishes 5th at Community College Nationals
Advances to ICT in Chicago along with U of L
February 25, 2012
Jefferson Community & Technical College followed up last year's 19th place finish in the Community College Championship Tournament with a 5th place finish this past weekend on the campus of Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City, Florida. By finishing in the top 6, Jefferson earns a bid to the Intercollegiate Championship Tournament to be held in Chicago on March 31st. Also qualifying for that tournament was U of L, victorious in their regional tournament held at Illinois State University in early February.
Jefferson qualified for the 2012 CCCT by winning its regional in January, going a perfect 9-0 against Lincoln Land (IL), Rend Lake (IL), and fellow KCQRL member Henderson.
Jefferson came out strong in Florida, winning its first 5 matches on Friday night by an average of 127 points, ranking 2nd among the 24 qualifying teams competing for the championship. Among the teams Jefferson defeated on Friday were Enterprise State (AL), North Florida, Lamar-Orange (TX), Bevill-Jasper (AL), and Chipola B (FL). On Saturday, the team was rebracketed into the top bracket, and lost its first 2 matches to Valencia A and Valencia B, before beating South Florida CC and Faulkner State (AL). Jefferson then lost its last 2 matches to eventual Champion Chipola A, and to Lincoln Land as well, missing out on a chance at the third place game. Said Jefferson coach Pete Rodski, "We had a tough Saturday. But looking back at that bracket, 3 of those teams (Valencia, Chipola, and Faulkner State) have won 8 of the last 11 Community College National Championships, so to be competitive against them (and defeat one of them) is really something notable for Jefferson. We can definitely build off of that heading to Chicago."
U of L Coach Matt Church also added "I think it is tremendous for the KCQRL to be sending 2 teams to the ICT in Chicago. I'm hoping both U of L and Jefferson can do some damage up there." It won't be easy though, as the field of 32 includes teams from Harvard, Dartmouth, MIT, RPI, Notre Dame and others. U of L was last there in 2010, finishing 8th in the country, while Jefferson will be making its first appearance ever at the ICT. In fact, Jefferson will be the first Community College from the state of Kentucky to make it to the Intercollegiate Championship Tournament.

Cardinals on Top of Nest Again
Louisville wins easy in Division I, gets tested in Division II
December 3, 2011
The University of Louisville continued its dominance in the KCQRL, sweeping both Divisions in a match held on the beautiful SW Campus of Jefferson Community & Technical College. Jefferson's 5th Annual Winter tournament hosted 12 teams, several of which made their first appearance of the year in the Kentucky Collegiate Quick Recall league.
In Division I, Louisville rolled to a perfect 5-0 record, amassing an impressive 422 points over the 5 matches. Miami of Ohio, entering round 6 with a perfect record of 4-0, lost to U of L 69 - 32 in the deciding match. The 4-1 record was good enough for the 2nd place trophy, just ahead of Ohio Southern, who made their 2011 debut in third place. Rounding out the field in Division I was Pikeville in 4th at 3-3, Murray State in 5th with a record of 2-3, Eastern (1-4) and Cumberlands (0-5).
Division II saw a similar situation, with both Jefferson and Louisville entering the final match undefeated. Louisville stormed out to a 20 point advantage midway through the match, but Jefferson battled back, closing the gap to 1 (51-50) with 2 questions left. Neither team could answer the final two toss-ups, however, giving Louisville the victory. Pikeville took 3rd place with a 2-2 record, and Miami (OH) took 4th place with a record of 1-3. Cumberlands rounded out the field, playing in its first division II match of the year.
The league takes a well-deserved break over the holidays, resuming play in February at Big Sandy Community & Technical College.
