The Bergen Community College (BCC) men’s basketball team was ranked second in the nation in the Division III preseason poll by the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). Three hundred schools compete in NJCAA Division III basketball.
In addition, BCC’s top player and last season’s Region XIX MVP, Elgin Brown of Jersey City, received preseason honorable mention all-America honors from the NJCAA, and was recently named the best junior college sophomore in the state by NJ Hoops – a recruiting publication. Brown, a forward, averaged a “double-double” last season, scoring 15 points and pulling down 12.8 rebounds per game.
Led by nine underclassmen, the Bulldogs surprised most observers last year when they won the school’s NJCAA Region XIX Division III title and placed third in the national tournament.
The Bulldogs will tip-off their regular season Nov. 10 at Queensborough Community College in Bayside, N.Y. The team opens its home schedule Nov. 12 against Bronx Community College.
Additionally, the team will be featured on an upcoming episode of On Campus, hosted by BCC president Dr. G. Jeremiah Ryan. On Campus airs on Torch Television, channel 26 of the Verizon FIOS cable system in Bergen, Hudson and Passaic counties.
