The 2023 spring baseball season is just around the corner and head coach Eric Horner has bolstered up his schedule in preparation for the ever-demanding Kansas Jayhawk Conference schedule.
The Cavaliers will host 29 games at JCCC Baseball Complex and play 54 contests, highlighting the complete schedule unveiled by coach Horner.
"We are playing 20 games against teams that were ranked at some point last year and 12 of the games are right out of the shoot," Horner said. "We have a lot of new players, and we need to see what they can do against the best to show them what it will take to win a conference championship in the tough 32-game Jayhawk Conference."
Johnson County will open the 2023 campaign on the road in Dallas, Texas against Dallas College-Brookhaven February 2-3 and Dallas College-Eastfield, February 4, followed by a two-game series at Crowder College February 9.
The Cavaliers begin a 12-game homestand February 11 against Crowder. The stretch includes weekend four-game series against Southwestern Community College (Feb. 18-19) and North Iowa Area Community College (Feb. 26-26).
JCCC opens KJCCC East Division play with a home-and-home series against Coffevyille Community College on March 16 and 18 followed by a four-game series with cross-town rival Kansas City Kansas Community College March 23 and 25.
Coach Horner will rely heavily on returning starters Cooper Combs (Kansas commit), Easton Elliot (Oral Roberts commit) and Jeremy Radar (uncommitted). On the mound JCCC will lean on Trent Martin (uncommitted), Gabe Nutter (Southern Illinois-Edwardsville commit) and Cole Koonce (Southern Illinois-Carbondale commit).
