Hutchinson CC Sports Information

Three members of the 2021-22 national tournament-qualifying Hutchinson Community College men's basketball team were named to the 2022 KJCCC/Region VI Postseason Teams on Tuesday.

Sophomore guard Angelo Stuart was named to the league/region first team. Sophomore Jacquez Yow was named to the third team. Sophomore Kobe Campbell was named an all-league/region honorable mention selection.

Stuart, Yow and Campbell helped the Blue Dragons to a 25-8 season record, a second-place finish in the ultra-tough Jayhawk Conference and a runner-up finish in the Region VI Tournament. The Blue Dragons earned an at-large bid to the NJCAA Tournament and drew the No. 12 seed. Hutchinson will play Connors State, the 19th seed, at 8:30 p.m. on Monday, March 14 at the Sports Arena.

All three all-conference selections joined the Blue Dragons this season as transfers when head coach Tommy DeSalme took over the program last spring.

ANGELO STUART – 1st Team
A transfer from Mineral Area College, Stuart established himself as the Blue Dragons' leading scorer with games of 24 and 22 points against Fort Scott and No. 12 Odessa College in the first two games of the season.

A 28-point effort in a 21-point comeback against Clarendon moved Stuart into the scoring lead in the Jayhawk Conference, a spot the 6-foot-1, 185-pound guard from East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania never relinquished for the remainder of the season.

Stuart averaged a league-best 21.4 points per game, the 11th-highest scoring average in Hutchinson single-season history.

Stuart set a Blue Dragon single-season record for 3-pointers. After a stellar six 3-point game against Dodge City in the Region VI finals, Stuart has 98 3-pointers for the season. He also helped the 2022 Blue Dragons obliterate the team season record for 3-pointers. The 2022 Blue Dragons have 312 3-pointers this season.

Stuart shot 43.6 percent overall this season and 40.6 percent from 3-point range, the top mark in the KJCCC. Stuart also shot 76.8 percent from 3-point range.

The Blue Dragon guard scored in double figures in 29 of 30 games played this season, including 21 games of 20 or more points and two of 30 or more points. Stuart posted a career-high 34 points twice, both games against KJCCC and Region VI champion Dodge City.

Three different times, Stuart had six 3-pointers in a single game, which ties for fourth on the all-time Blue Dragon charts.

Twice Stuart was named the Jayhawk Conference Player of the Week.

This is the seventh-straight season a Blue Dragon has earned a spot on the all-conference first team.

JACQUEZ YOW – 3rd Team
Yow, a 6-foot-5, 195-pound sophomore from Newport News, Virginia, was Hutchinson's leading rebounder and fourth-leading scorer this season.

Yow averaged 12.2 points and 6.5 rebounds this season while shooting a team-high 50.5 percent from the field. Yow added 13 3-pointers, shooting 30.6 percent from behind the arc, and 72.1 percent from the free-throw line. Yow added 23 blocked shots and 34 steals this season.

Yow posted six double-doubles this season, none bigger than his 37-point, 11-rebound performance against Garden City in the season finale, a 120-113 overtime win that clinched second place in the KJCCC for Hutchinson. Yow had nine points in overtime and was a perfect 10 of 10 from the free-throw line in that victory.

The 37 points scored by Yow tied for the ninth most in Blue Dragon single-game history.

Yow was twice named the KJCCC Player of the Week/

KOBE CAMPBELL – Honorable Mention
Campbell, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound sophomore from Kansas City, Missouri, continually provided the spark off the bench for the Blue Dragons this season.

Campbell was the Blue Dragons' second-leading scorer at 14.3 points per game. He shot 47.7 percent from the field, 29.6 percent from 3-point range and 67.5 percent from the free-throw line. Campbell also averaged 5.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

Campbell has a career-high 25 points on February 12 against Colby. He had a 24-point game at Cowley on January 29. Campbell posted three double-doubles this season, pulling down a career-high 13 rebounds against Dodge City on January 11.

Both Yow and Campbell came to Hutchinson from Cowley College.
