DODGE CITY — Humboldt native and current Dodge City Community College head basketball coach Brad Witherspoon was named the KJCCC Division I Coach of the Year.
Witherspoon has yet to wrap up his first year as head coach in Dodge City as his Conquistadors will battle in the NJCAA DI national tournament Monday. Dodge City will oppose Meridian Community College.
Dodge City Community College defeated Cloud City Community College and Butler Community College in the KJCCC Region VI tournament. The Conquistadors mustered up dominant offensive showings in each performance, scoring 80 or more points in each game.
The first-year coach’s team had an overall record of 23-9 and an 18-6 mark in KJCCC action. They were the outright KJCCC Division I champions.
Witherspoon has now won back-to-back conference titles while also guiding Northern Oklahoma-Tonkawa College to an OCAC title last year.
