Junior College Showcase Set For
September 19 & 20--(Aug. 30, 1998)

Jeff Theiler, Assistant Coach at Oxnard Community College dropped us a note last week to let us know about a great "Junior College Showcase" that will be held September 19 & 20 at Ventura College. Notwithstanding the lawsuit brought by former coach Hefferman, and the complete shutdown of the Ventura College Men's program, it seems that basketball is still alive and well at Ventura College. Among the teams who have committed to play in the Showcase are:

Fullerton Community College
LA Valley College
Chaffey College
College of the Sequoias (Deaundre Hulet? coached by George Tarkanian)
College of the Canyons
Antelope Valley Community College
Oxnard Community College
Santa Monica City College
Irvine Valley College
Reedley Community College

And more. Should be a great tournament, and it provides an alternative to the Double Pump HS Boys' & JC Men's Discovery Shootout set for the same weekend at Cal State Dominguez Hills. And if the temperatures remain into the 100's as they have this weekend, you can't find a better place to beat the heat than Ventura. Expect to see a ton of 4 year D-I, D-II, and D-III coaches in attendance.
