The Jayhawks finished their 2018-2019 campaign with an overall record of 11-10. Their season started hot however. Really hot. The team strung together a 6-1 record to open the year- with their only loss by a margin of a single bucket. Just one year ago the team only won a pair of games, going 2-19. Those days are long gone for Vandercook Lake’s varsity basketball team.

The team that Higgs will be joining has seen success of late as well. They finished last season 17-13. That may not seem impressive, but the NAIA school frequently has a stacked schedule, playing powerhouses like Cornerstone University.
